  This was our 2nd time staying at the property and we have just booked our 3rd stay.

  House is homely and comfortable, the beds are amazing, I have asked where I can buy one of the duvets from as slept amazingly with it. The arms chairs and brown leather sofa are not the most comfortable, however they are acceptable- but you do sink down in them and slide a little. The oven had not been cleaned very well, there was fat at the bottom of the oven which smoked and smelt when we used it. Also it would help to leave cleaning products to clean the work surfaces and the yard, as this may encourage people to do it if available. Internet box could do with being on a shelf, it is currently on top of the shoe box, however it got knocked over getting coats or lifting the box lid and if placed on the floor the internet signal was poor. Outside yard was washed down when the dog had been out there, but I think the astroturf has urine soaked in, as one day it was fairly warm with the sun on it and it stunk, despite me washing the yard. It may be better without the Astroturf as it will be easier to clean and less likely to hold liquid. I was informed about there being staining on the main bedroom ceiling from a leak however we unfortunately had very heavy rain one night and woke to hear drip drip drip. An emergency repair was booked and later in the week we had heavy rain but no issue with a bedroom water feature. So fingers crossed all will be sorted until roof is replaced next month. Location of the house is brilliant, and parking for two cars is excellent (once you master the reverse into the drive) We have found some brilliant places to eat over the past two years (dog friendly) Rusty Shears off Flowergate The Yorkshire wraps are huge and tasty Dog even got treated to a portion of sausage by the staff Sherlocks - flowergate We found this place last year and it is still as good Carrot cake is amazing as are the scones Coffee is good and always hot Chapel on the hill (Brunswick st)- left card in the house We went on the first day and planned to go on our last day but it was shut. Staff are friendly and welcoming and the food was scrummy, with lots of choice. Fuzzy dog bakery (flowergate) Dream place for our dog, the owner makes a fuss of the dog and gives them a treat or 3. Lovely friendly shop, I was so pleased to see that they were still open. Beach and rock pools, we’d only used the beach on the west cliff side, however on our last day we followed the path to the left at the bottom of the abbey steps and followed the street down to the jetty and pier- from here there was plenty of sand areas and rock pools, will definitely explore this more next year. Pannet Park/ Whitby museum The park is nice and clean and good for children, we also found a community book library within the community garden. Museum is free for children or £8 for adults (12 months entry) it was interesting with lots of collections. I did leave our tickets in the house if anyone wants to use to gain entry (left with the leaflets in the dining room) It’s official my heart is lost to Whitby

  Excellent stay well equipped and comfortable and character.

  Plenty room. Note to park at rear: drive in to the driveway on right then back up to the yard. Then you can get out easy. Neighbor was friendly. Note sign does not say number 41 at entrance track. Whitby is lovely and Robin Hood Bay a must! 10 mins to town and museum 1 mins! Go to museum and see amazing items eg where the word hangover comes from! We all had fantastic sleeps really good beds. Negatives are really minor- bedroom door doesnt close fully, lots dust in places not important eg under beds, cuboard top surface, curtains dont block light, promanade is 10 mins but beach is another 10 mins owing to the bank to get to the sand. Get a fantastic photo of priory in evening from end of the nearest pier. The light then nakes an incredible scene. Go in church next to abbey its very interesting and much better value than abbey. Thanks for a great holiday in a very good location and all important very comfy beds!

  We found destiny rose to be in a ideal location and the added bonus of parking spaces for 2 cars.

  Good size house, 3 people stayed for 4 nights 2 people stayed for the whole 7 nights. (the third bedroom is more suited for a child, or short stay adult). We found the beds to be very comfortable (good quality bed covers). Just a couple of negative points On arrival although the work surfaces (kitchen) bathrooms/shower had been cleaned and the place hoovered, skirting boards, slatted blinds, and internal doors had not been cleaned. The window blinds very dusty, food splatter and general dirt on skirtings, doors dusty could do with a wipe. I know it takes time to clean slatted blinds etc, but once a month maybe a deep clean would be in order. Also towels and tea towel are provided (1 tea towel for the week!) if i had known this i would have brought some rather than having to buy some while i was there. These are just little niggles and could be easily rectified. It would not put me of staying again. :)

  A lovely property. Well equipped and nicely furnished. A lovely hamper was there on our arrival, which was a nice touch. Its only has a small kitchen if there's a large group of people needing access. Good location for access to the town and shops but it is very noisy as it is right beside the main road on a crossroads where the A171 meets the A174 with very busy traffic. It was hot when we were there, and so we needed the windows open, which obviously allowed the road noise to be heard even more. Outside seating area was poor. Only 4 chairs and no table. So if there's a party of more than 4 there's not seating for everyone. Also, it's very noisy with the traffic going backwards and forwards. There was only 1 key in the 'key lock box' to gain access to the property. It would have been useful to have 2. ( when there's a large group of people occupying the property )

  Meadowsweet is an outstanding property.

  The views and position are simply stunning. The track down to the property we found to be well maintained, rather fun and well worth the effort. We saw Red Grouse, Red Squirrels, a Hare as well as having an incredible view of the barn owl swooping down the valley. The hot tub is a welcome addition to this well thought out and tastfully renovated property. The owners, Denise and family, were very friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Casper and Olly - the owners dogs were also great company, eager to play but happy to stop once told! We all fell in love with the peace and quiet: lovely walks can be found without getting in your car. A highlight for us was walking to Goathland from the property and having Sunday lunch at the Inn on the Moor. The best Sunday lunch we have had. We all had a great time at Meadowsweet and would highly recommend it.
