We enjoyed our week's stay very much, and would like to return. Hosts were friendly and helpful, apartment was very clean, with everything you need for self-catering. Bed was very comfortable, and location was quiet with a view of the moor from the lounge window. Commondale village was small, with no shop but a pub (selling snacks only and fish and chip van there once a week). Only 15 min walk to local train station, with trains to Middlesbrough and Whitby and stops at other villages.
