The cottage was lovely and had everything we needed and was very homely and in such a peaceful setting. The garden was beautiful with a lovely sunny spot hidden at the bottom. The location was great for visiting the moors, Whitby and the coast, York, Pickering for the steam railway, walking, horse racing and much more. A lovely pub is next door serving great food The owner Jo was very helpful and on hand if we needed her and the goodies left by her were much appreciated. A recommendation would be to update the shower over the bath in second bedroom but this didn’t spoil our holiday and shouldn’t be taken as a negative, just a suggestion as everything else was perfect!

Gorgeous comfy cosy cottage. There was everything we needed and more…. extremely well equipped. The beds were comfortable with quality linen. We visited over the New Year period and the cottage was festively decorated with the log burner and underfloor bathroom heating a real treat! Our welcome pack was fabulous. A fantastic stay.
