Lovely place I came with my groceries so din't have to mess around looking for food, although the Lion pub is amazing for food. Takes roughly between 5 and 8 mins drive from location. Really clean shepherds hut. Nice little touches, the decor has clearly been thought out and is better than most advertised on cottages.com. Highly recommend, just over 30mins to get to Whitby in a car. Lovely for people who enjoy walking. Views are amazing you can see straight out the window to these lovely views. No complaints what so ever. Bed was comfy and big which was a plus point. Plenty of free wood to use on the log burner in the colder months.

We had a wonderful weekend in the Tawny Owl hut. Communication from the owners was clear and friendly, directions were clear and everything was as advertised. They had provided enough milk and tea bags etc to get through the first night, and had provided delicious cheese scones and flapjacks from a local bakery, which was a lovely touch. The hut was well equipped with everything you could need, and the log burner was easy to operate and made everything very cosy. There's a wonderful local pub nearby, too, that was warm, welcoming and very filling! I highly recommend these shepherds' huts and we'd certainly visit again.

The perfect stay! Couldnt have asked for a more beautiful view, the surroundings were incredible. Extremely clean and had everything we needed, they have really payed attention to the details. Lovely food from a local bakery for our arrival. We had a very warm welcome by the host, appreciated them showing us to the huts and a little tour of everything. Would love to stay again!
