“Lovely property, well maintained and well equipped with great additional touches.”

Every member of our family thoroughly enjoyed the stay

Every member of our family thoroughly enjoyed the stay

- Mrs Hilton, August 2018

“The owner was very welcoming, the cottage had a lovely outlook over the Vale of Pickering, lovely garden area, and was very clean, practical and comfortable.”

An excellent base for this area, with a friendly pub and butchers/food shop in the village, 5 minutes walk away.

- Mr Ormston, June 2018
“This cottage for starters is not suitable for 6 people, 4 at a push.”

This cottage could have been designed as a luxury cottage for 4 if owners had put their minds to it. Very small bathroom, especially for more than 2 people, would have liked a dishwasher instead of washing machine. No coat hooks to hang coats up, not enough kindling to light fire, no information at local property, like where to catch buses or trains, what’s around or places to go. Internet poor as kept losing signal, lack of blinds for bedrooms, kept getting woken up very early in morning by sun coming into bedroom. All in all would not return here

- Mrs Cheeseborough, June 2018
“Lovely welcome from the owner and cottage perfectly placed to go to the coast, Dalby forest, Wolds & North York’s moors.”

Accomodation was clean, tidy & perfect for taking a dog as all hard flooring. Would recommend this for 4 people only not six as landing bed has no privacy at all & in my opinion could not be used as a bedroom Only downside for us was lack of toilets/ensuite. As there is only one toilet (within the downstairs bathroom) it was noisy going down the wooden stairs during the night if you wanted to use the facilities. There is certainly plenty of room upstairs to add an ensuite.

“The cottage was supposed to be suitable for pets.”

There was a large back garden but the dog had to remain on a lead as it was not fenced in and the dog could easily run onto a busy main road.

- Mr Roberts, July 2017
“This cottage is fantastic, it has everything you need.”

Lovely views of rolling hills and sheep out the back. Fluffy towels and comfy beds! Good location for The Moors and Coast. Dalby Forest is excellent and only 20 mins away. Excellent fish and chip shop in Snainton. Highly recommend this cottage

- Mrs Spear, April 2017
“North Yorkshire weekend break.”

The Wood cottage is located centrally between Scarborough and Whitby. The cottage is nicely presented with a spacious lounge and walk through kitchen to a dining room which overlooks the surrounding countryside. Spacious twin bedroom and a double provide comfy sleeping accommodation. An open fire is a nice feature to warm a cold evening. Although the gas central heating is extremely efficient and quick warms the cottage. Wifi is available in the kitchen, dining room and lounge. Parking is to the side of the cottage down a steep driveway onto a gravel area which can accommodate 2 vehicles easily. An enjoyable weekend in a warm and cosy cottage.

“Splendid Cottage!”

We very much enjoyed our stay - and not only because the weather was generally friendly. It's an excellent location for places we like, it was very confortable, and the facilities were good. There was wi-fi available even though we had not expected it. All in all, we could not have asked for better!

“A real home from home”

Excellent central location for all east coast attractions. Very comfortable cottage with all mod cons. Children loved the galleried area. Refreshments tray on arrival was a really nice touch. Would definitely stay again.

“A great stay in a great location.”

We were warmly welcomed, shown around the property and given useful information on local amenities and places to visit. The property, although on a main road, was set down from the road and screened by a high hedge with very little traffic noise and with lovely views across fields and the Derwent valley, particularly from the breakfast/dining room. The property was modern, clean and well equipped, although TV reception was very poor, even on the large modern LCD TV. Set on the outskirts of the village of Brompton, it was very convenient for its excellent local butcher's shop and the local pub -very good for meals! The very steep drive down to the parking area could prove challenging to a less experienced driver, particularly for the hill starts necessary to get out on to the main road. All in all an excellent stay in a lovely location in easy reach of the North Yorkshire Moors and the coast.
