“Lovely property, will equipped, very clean, spacious, great views and close enough to anything you may want.”

- Mr Tyas, September 2020
“Set in beautiful countryside, well situated for days out to the local seasides or inland”

- Mrs Hackney, August 2020
“Awesome cottage for a holiday near Scarborough.”

- Mr Shore, August 2020
“Lovely stone cottage in a great location”

We really enjoyed our stay at the Wood. The cottage is very clean, cosy and well-equipped with fabulous rural views and in a great location. There are lots of nice walks in the area to nearby villages, and we never tired of walking around the picturesque village of Brompton by Sawdon itself. The location between Pickering and Scarborough is ideal, with Malton, the food capital of Yorkshire, around 20 minutes' drive away. Marlene, the host, is kind, friendly and helpful and keeps the cottage well stocked with cupboard staples, cleaning supplies and a welcome tray of cereals, biscuits etc. She is on hand if you need anything, but your privacy is assured at all times. Marlene also provided great recommendations on walks and places to go nearby. We throroughly enjoyed our stay at The Wood and were very comfortable there - whether sitting out at the back of the cottage gazing out over lovely views on a sunny day or cosying up around the fire on chillier nights. Highly recommended!

“Fabulous location and very welcoming cottage.”

Lovely open fire. Would definitely visit again.

- Mr Bremner, February 2020
“This is our second stay at this cottage in 3 years.”

Our eldest Labrador was happy to be back and our youngest Lab loved her 1st visit. Owner Marlene always available to offer advice and places of interest.Cottage is fully equipped with utensils etc. The views are really nice from the dining room and liked the open fire. Welcome pack on arrival. Big garden for dogs to run free and welcome addition is the gate on side making cottage fully enclosed. Highly recommended and will be returning next December

- Mr Bennett, December 2019

Thank you.

- Rev Hope, October 2019

10/10 and will definitely visit again.

- Mrs Milner, October 2019
“The views from the back of the cottage are lovely.”

A very nice cosy cottage suitable also for an elderly couple (downstairs bedroom and bathroom) plus an upstairs double bedroom. Lovely homely feel with open fire and central heating.

- Mrs Spencer, September 2019
“Excellent cottage lovely views,very well maintained very clean throughout.”

The welcome pack was very much appreciated,ideal situation for exploring the area.The Gallery landing was excellent,our granddaughter loved the bed in there,so much she didn’t want to go home.Will definitely go again.

- Mr Roberts, August 2019
“Cottage was absolutely excellent”

- Mr Appleton, August 2019
“It was a wonderful stay at The Wood.”

It was a home from home and the views each morning were beautiful! It was comfortable and very clean. We can’t wait to go back!

- Miss Dickeson, July 2019
“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
“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
“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
“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
“Excellent find, would highly recommend”

- Mrs Young, 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
“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.

- James_Sam, March 2017

“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.
