  Fabulous stay at Oak Tree Barn for myself, my partner, sister-in-law and sprocker spaniel.

  The Barn was immaculately clean, well equipped and very welcoming and we were very thankful for the ceiling fans in the bedrooms on the unexpected hottest week of the year. The garden was perfectly secure without us having to worry about our dog escaping although we did have to watch him with the hedgehogs he found. We had 2 cars in our party and both were easily accommodated off road in front of the garages to the property as described. The owners were wonderful in communicating and ensuring we had all we needed and going above and beyond with the extra welcoming touches which were very much appreciated. The property is perfectly located a short walk from the centre of the village where there are some good pubs and other eateries (we enjoyed The Buck Inn dog friendly and the fish and chip shop twice as we hadn’t realised that food serving stopped so early in the evenings so did get caught out a bit). The village itself is a good base for those who want to head out to visit the towns/city, experience the outdoors/ beach/sea or not do much at all and just stay local and enjoy some peace and quiet and the scenery so a good mix for all. Nothing I would change about the Barn or the holiday. Hope to come back soon. Thank you for our well needed stay.

  Had a lovely stay at York House, only down side was 1 WC could do with another downstairs especially when holidaying with elderly relatives, the downstairs bedroom would welcome an en suite in our opinion.

  The only other thing which is out of the owners control is the really busy road, and difficulty parking, when trying to get all of your luggage and shopping across the road whilst only being able to open one side of the car due to the kerb, it was quite scary at times as we had 2 elderly relatives and a child plus the road noise was quite bad early morning. Apart from that we had a perfect stay the house is clean, cosy yet spacious and we had everything we needed, we ate ate at the Fox and Rabbit a few miles up the road which was fabulous and also The Buck Inn, wouldn’t recommend The Buck Inn simply because of the noisy locals shouting and swearing whilst we were trying to have a family meal. Half an hour from Whitby which was a nice day out. Close to Dalby and Pickering also nice days out. Just a 10 minute walk from the village lovely walks and a fabulous ice cream parlour, fish and chip shop was really good and there is a grocery store selling everything you could need. All in all a lovely break and we were lucky with the weather too which was a bonus!

  Simon & Jane have totally nailed it, even more impressive as they're comparative newbies to the cottage letting game!

  The cottage is lovely, everything you need, nothing you don't, right down to the 'Welcome' hamper. There's all the home equipment you require for a longer stay, washing machine, dishwasher, outside washing line so no need to be swamped by laundry when you get home. Simon tells us it's still a work in progress, but other than perhaps a link of paint and an odd tweak here & there it's perfectly fine ad it is. The lounge is comfortable, plenty of room to sprawl around, the bed is vast and supremely comfy, so a good night's sleep is virtually assured. All in all, very very good, high quality cottage. The paddock to the rear of the cottage reinforces the rural feeling, along with the sizeable lawned area to relax at the table with a long glass of something alcoholic. Be assured, we will be back, as time and circumstances allow, as its a wonderful place to let the cares of the world float away!

  A wonderful little cottage, we really appreciated the welcome pack.

  The owners had thought of everything, the only thing we did go out and purchase was an extension lead for the single bedroom as we had nowhere to charge all the devices and some medical equipment. We found a little dust under the bunk bed but it didn't impact on our stay (we left a little note mentioning it, however only so whoever cleaned it could address it for future guests who may be bothered). The only way to improve it would be to change the couch and chairs in the living room, we all found them pretty uncomfortable. It was great to have faultless wifi, the visitor book was a great addition and was all the information we needed for our stay however the leaflet “basket” could do with an update. We had a wonderful time though and would recommend it, especially if the furniture was updated.

  Oak Tree Barn was absolutely lovely, not only is it in a great location it is a great place to stay.

  Our first impression of “this is fantastic” stayed with us throughout. From the well stocked kitchen to the wonderful cosy living room and comfortable very clean bedrooms. This really is a home from home. We were welcomed with a lovely gift hamper that was quite personal. Chris the owner obviously checks who will be staying for the week. We even had welcome text upon arrival. It is the little touches that make a difference. I can also see in colder weather the house would be very warm, with lots of heating and a wood fire stove in the sunroom. As stated this location is perfect to explore the Yorkshire Moors and beyond. Thornton le Dale has great amenities which is a very easy walk. With larger places such as Pickering and Malton a short drive. We have every intention of returning.
