“Kitchen could do with a couple more plug sockets as could the dining area.”

Ideally a 4 berth property not a 6, it would have been a real squeeze to get 6 in there. Netflix was a welcome addition for my 6 year old. Great to see no dishwasher!

- Mr Allan, April 2019
“It was amazing the best cottage weve ever stayed in all the family loved it and it really made dads 70th special.”

The views are outstanding and I think we will definatly come here again.

- Miss Mogg, April 2019
“This was a lovely cottage, a great location for us, and on a bus route so ideal.”

There was a lovely welcome essentials (tea, coffee, milk & biscuits) and the cottage was well stocked with everything you may need.

- Ms Matavuso-lowe, April 2019
“Excellent find, would highly recommend”

- Mrs Young, February 2019
“What a fabulous short stay we have just had at the Wood.”

Absolutely everything had been thought of from clearing the snow for our arrival to milk in the fridge. We can't wait to come again for a longer stay and would 100% recommend to friends and family (as long as they don't need dates we need lol). Top tip - take some extra coal and firewood. You do get a great starter pack for the open fire but once you have it lit you will want it on for longer. It's super cosy :)

- Miss Green, February 2019
“Great little cottage.”

The owner was lovely and stocked the cottage very well with some lovely personal touches.

- Mrs Mason, December 2018
“This cottage hadthe best equipped kitchen I have ever stayed in.”

I will definitely return!

- Mrs Varney, September 2018
“Lovely property, well maintained and well equipped with great additional touches.”

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.

- Mrs Sykes, May 2018
“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
“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!

“wonderful week”

We had a lovely week in the cottage and were very lucky with the weather. The cottage had everything we needed

“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.

- The Daleys, October 2011
“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.
