"York house is a lovely cottage and has been renovated to a very high standard."
It was lovely to have a bottle of milk and teas coffees and hot chocolate provided a nice touch. The beds really comfortable. The TV was so nice to have the TV packages kept us all entertained and was also nice to have games and books provided. The garden is a sun trap and nice to have drinks in the sun. Kitchen equipment excellent and everything you need to make meals again a nice touch to have kitchen cloths and to have things like baking paper and foil all the things you sometimes need. Would highly recommend.

"Absolutely beautiful cottage in a gorgeous little village."
Was deceptively large. Very clean
and well maintained. Kids loved the selection of games. Only minor downside is the road noise but obviously this can't be helped. Great communication from the owner. Would definitely stay again.
Thanks Simon. Very glad you enjoyed it.

"Its a fantastic cottage, really clean and tidy, comfortable and warm."
Less than 10 minute walk into the village centre with shops/ cafes and pubs. Great walks available directly from the village and also a great base for visiting other parts of the Moors/ the coast and York.
If you were staying with 6, just note the one bathroom but nothing that isn't manageable. There is a modern and clean toilet in the garden which would help alleviate some of the morning rush too!
Thanks for a great stay and will certainly return.

"York House is a beautiful property, sensitively renovated with plenty of room and in a stunning location."
The parking can be tricky but once you discover the road behind the property it is less stressful! We had a lovely week there over Christmas. Thank you to the owners for the 2 beautiful trees in the windows!
Jemma. Thank you for your feed back and I am very glad Christmas was a success for you and your family.

"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!
Many thanks for your comments. The en-suite down stairs would certainly be a good idea. I am unsure whether this is possible due to the drainage.
The road can bebusy at times. Parking is well documented in the welcome information with an alternative option a short distance up the road. Hope to see you again

"Had a great week at Thornton dale."
York house wasn't that great for us , the downstairs bedroom seems to have a damp issue and smelled a little fusty. The cooker in the kitchen was a duel oven but the top one was broken and taped off. The parking on the main road was a problem for us with having two dogs and trying to get them into the car safely across a busy main road and you weren't always guaranteed the same parking space and sometimes had to park farther away from the cottage.Apart from these issues we still had a fantastic week and the weather was very good.
Thanks for your very valuable feedback.
I am really glad you flagged the musty smell in the downstairs bedroom, on investigation there is certainly a damp issue!! I have now removed skirting boards, filled all cracks and dug down one meter outside to find big gaps in the mortar. So this I am hoping will solve the problem. Many thanks for highlighting this.
The top oven was flagged prior to arrival and requires a bigger fuse which is being sorted on 11/11/24.
I am glad you had a fantastic week and hope to see you again
It’s now 2nd January and I am pleased to confirm that all signs of damp have gone! Big relief!

"Fabulous, characterful, house in super location."
Comfort and luxury, combined with excellent WiFi and large Smart TV. Immaculate and so clean. Bedrooms fitted with the comfiest beds and all beds' and bedding of the highest quality, as was everything else. Location excellent, and although on a busy road with parking on opposite side, we managed fine with our slow, 15 year old Labrador, and me with some mobility issues. Small issue, outweighed by all the positives. We all loved our time there, and were sad to leave, but will definitely book again. Hosts also excellent with communication and nothing too much trouble.
Linda. Many thanks for your great comments. Really glad you enjoyed your stay and would love to see you again. Also thank you for leaving the house so clean and tidy! 10/10 for you and your family.

"We have had a wonderful stay in this beautiful cottage."
The photos really dont do the cottage justice. The bedrooms are all very large with wonderfully comfy beds. The bathroom is finished to a really high standard with a great shower. There were a few things not working in the kitchen which we were advised about before our stay which didnt really bother us, but could be an issue if you plan on doing a lot of cooking. Also the parking wasnt great having young children with us as you have to park across the road which was quite busy.
Thanks Tracey. Glad you enjoyed it. Dishwasher eventually fixed today!

"We spent a lovely few days at York House in June, during a very hot spell of weather."
The flagstone floors and stone walls made it a lovely, cool haven to return to. The beds were very comfortable and the cottage is well eqipped. It's just a shot walk into the lovely village and to 'The Buck' pub which serves excellent food. (Anyone considering booking should be aware of the parking situation - it is on the road opposite the cottage. It wasn't a major issue for us but the road can get busy and it could be a consideration for anyone with children).
