Stonecroft is beautifully decorated and very comfortable with all necessary amenities (photos don't really do it justice!). The outdoor space is private, well maintained and very peaceful. With good road links York, Whitby and Scarborough are just 40 mins away, with stunning countryside, towns and villages a stones throw away (Thornton-le-Dale, Hutton-le-Hole are very pretty and you can swallow lots of time in Helmsley). Would highly recommend.

A lovely clean cottage. High quality beds and bedding, towels etc. the bed was super comfortable and nice big bedrooms , pub nearby and parking easy and close to cottage. A couple of things no salt and pepper so take some with you also could do with a few extra mugs. There were 6 of everything but with a dishwasher you could do with a few more. Also the step up from the kitchen caught us both out and we tripped up it but that’s nit picking it’s a lovely cottage
