On the whole, the cottage was superb. The layout was fantastic, all of the rooms were well sized and easily heated and all of the amenities were exactly what was needed too. The cottage was clean and tidy and just felt like home as soon as you walk through the door.

An excellent, cosy and comfortable cottage, with good quality feel to it. The village is lovely with a good pub and brilliant walks on the doorstep. The local church was also very welcoming to me when I attended the Sunday service.

A well appointed and comfortable cottage. The only drawback is the location of the boiler in a cupboard in the main bedroom, which can disrupt sleep because it is programmed to operate at night.

Comfortable cottage, tastefully furnished and well equipped. Very near to Whitby with a regular bus service (bus stop only 75 yards away). Great view across the valley from the bedroom windows. Stairs a little tricky- lots of varying heights from very shallow to normal height risers to deeper risers.

An absolutely wonderful cottage, it was well equipped and clean, the beds were comfy and the wood burner, plentiful window seats and comfy sofas invited rest and relaxation (very quiet neighbours also). It was ideally suited to exploring the surrounding area. The local pub was fab, with delicious food and friendly staff. Robin Hoods Bay, Whitby, aRead morend the Grosmont to Beck Hole (circular walk) were highlights during our stay. Hide
