  We loved staying at Grove Cottage!

  It was comfortably furnished with a lovely mix of old and new and very well-equipped. On arrival we found a wonderful welcome hamper, plus milk in the fridge, coffee and tea, and a gorgeous homemade victoria sponge. There were also supplies of toilet rolls, handwash, clingfilm and foil, plus cleaning products. The upstairs is quite dinky, just the two bedrooms, the double a good size, the twin fairly compact, but downstairs has been very imaginatively extended to make a very spacious living space. One point that is not mentioned in the details is that, no doubt as a result of extending an old cottage, there are a lot of changes of floor level downstairs, some actual steps, but some just enough to make a trip hazard until you're used to them. Other than that, the cottage is delightful! There was no shortage of hot water and the heating was easy to control (despite it being June, the weather was so chilly we used it selectively morning and evening). The pretty garden, beautifully maintained, was lovely to sit in when we did get some sun and my husband really enjoyed the hot tub. One final positive in our eyes was that all the windows had blinds or, in the case of the large window in the lounge/diner, thick curtains. On a chilly night, it was nice to be able to close off the encroaching darkness, even though the cottage was secluded, but too many holiday cottages seem to think it unnecessary.

  Wow what a brilliant retreat.

  Repeat visit required for sure! Grove cottage is a beautiful game keepers cottage, just off the beaten track pretty much secluded, in the grounds of a golf course beautiful decor and amenities. Comfortable, clean and it says come back for more. The hamper was the best we've ever had with any break we've had through Sykes, cake, eggs, bread, snacks etc etc even milk.to enjoy a coffee once we arrived and seeming it was our wedding anniversary break Zena and Roger had left us an extra celebratory gift in the fridge to enjoy toasting in the hot tub later. Thank you :-) We enjoyed our time visited the Hickory stick restaurant for the Wednesday Steak and bowl which we couldn't fault with friends who visited for the day but they also do food through out the day starting with breakfast til 6pm. Recommended to friends already and they will be booking up too. Things we did while there, was a trip to the Newcourt cider just down the road, The Bush Inn for a very different afternoon tea, Monkland cheese dairy, local cosy pub in Leominster the White lion and Coffee, cake and more at St Michael's hospice coffee and books. Sure there's lots more to explore yet that we didn't get to do. We did plan to go to Queenswood park/arboretum and a few walks and a visit to the local deli in town but that'll be on the list next time. As you can see a most enjoyable stay.

  We have spent a wonderful week here at 2 BRowcote Cottage. The cottage is lovely and full of character, well equipped with beautiful decor and we managed to master the bathroom even with 2 teenage girls with us! David has been very helpful too. Thanks. The Weather has been pretty kind to us and we have had trips to Robin Hoods Bay and Staithes. Two very pretty fishing villages. We went to see the Naval battle reconstruction in Peasholm Park, Scarborough and took the NYMR steam train from Goathland to Whitby and back. While over the moors we went to The Horseshoe at Levisham for a fantastic meal - Well Recommended. IF you carry on down to the very end of this lane you can park at the bottom and walk down the steep steps to the beach (when the tide is out) And walk around to Boggle Hole and have a good lunch at the Youth Hostel-do get your tide timings right to walk back again. We also went up to aerial mast and on to the moor to watch a couple of sunsets. The Cottage is in such a fabulous position to enjoy the views from the garden and the summerhouse is an added bonus, the girls enjoyed sitting in the little look out post in the main bedroom. Thank you David your properties are amazing

  On the whole our stay was lovely and comfortable for the 3 nights we stayed.

  Any longer would have been annoying. just a couple of suggestions. -some sort of curtain/blind on patio doors. Once the sun came up I was awake as it was so light at 4am. -a small mirror on the wall in perhaps bedroom area as I need to dry my hair and no where to stand the bathroom mirror. -the pictures in the ad suggested that bathroom toiletries are provided, luckily we brought some. These misleading pictures should be removed. -at the cottage instructions for tv and internet say signal can be weak, however no watchable picture on tv and internet strength was so poor we never were able to use it, which was not an issue for us but may be for others. -first cottage we have ever stayed in and had to go buy washing up liquid. -I think it should be in the add that there is nowhere to hang clothes (some hooks on bedroom side of bathroom door but these are for the likes of towels or coats) or any storage so need to live out of your case during stay. For 3 night this was doable but again any longer would be annoying.

  We had such a lovely holiday here and the views are amazing, we will come back to stay here again next year as it’s just so beautiful. Dave and his family are so very welcoming and little touches to when you first walk in made you feel very welcome. It really is a beautiful old cottage that had everything you could need and also very clean with lovely fresh towels and bedding, Don’t even think about looking around for other options of accommodation as you won’t find anything better than this. Robin hoods bay and Ravenscar are a must to visit with a lovely little cafe just up the road from the Ravenscar hotel, all homemade cakes and pies are very yummy. Also a visit to the beautiful Robin hoods bay with lovely title streets to wonder and a beautiful beach with treasures to find for little ones, finish with fish and chips from the fish box at the top of the hill and the day is all made. Thank you Dave and family for the lovely cottage that you made so special, we will be back
