Croft Head Cottage

Lovely cottage in a quiet village.

Good location with lots for families to do within a short drive. Cottage was very clean, beds were comfortable and it was equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Owners were very friendly and posted some clothing we'd left behind. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend.

Delightful cottage

Lovely, quaint cottage.

Well supplied with essentials and spotlessly clean. Lack of proper shower a slight downside but easily manageable.

Nice place in a nice quiet village.

Handy for visits to Pickering, Whitby, Malton and York not forgetting Helmsley and of course Thornton le Dale and the Dalby forest. No shops in Wrelton but a Spar store and petrol station nearby for essentials like loo rolls, wahing up liquid and the like. Cottage clean, tidy and comfortable, what's not to like?. Would stay again.

Photos online do not to this place justice, it is beautiful.

Very comfy bed.

A very comfortable cottage, clean and warm in a lovely village setting.

Easy parking in the wide road out front and the local pub is excellent.

Lovely stay in this cosy cottage.

Quiet location and not far from all of the delights of North York Moors and surrounding area. Cottage clean and had everything we needed. Bed comfy. Welcome pack of tea,milk, biscuits and fruit appreciated. Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely historical cottage.

Well equipped and clean. The thick walls and steep stairs reminded me of my childhood home. We will definitely book again next time we are going to holiday in Yorkshire. The only negative is the mixer tap/shower attachment, which is very difficult to get the right temperature and is affected by anyone else using water anywhere else in the property. As others have said, a shower curtain would be good and would allow for the shower head to be fixed higher up the wall

A wonderfully quaint & cosy cottage, perfect for relaxing after days out in the North York Moors, which are on the doorstep.

We loved the fire; despite being August, we needed it the evening after a sea swim! Facilities were excellent & everything necessary was provided. One thing worth considering would be to fit a shower curtain/screen to contain any splashes when using the hand-held attachment. We had a lovely week & would definitely return here. Thank you!

Great cottage, this was our second time staying here and hopefully we will be back next summer.

It was lovey to be able to stay in such a characterful cottage set in a beautiful village.

The cottage was well equipped with everything you needed for a comfortable stay.It was a good base to explore the surrounding area. We particularly enjoyed our visits to Rievaulx Abbey ,Helmsley, Rosedale Abbey , Filey and Bempton Cliffs RSPB .

We found everything we needed to make the stay very pleasant.

Just one very small thing worth mentioning was the filter in the kettle needed cleaning to make the kettle easier to pour. Other than that, everything was good. Thanks.

A very comfortable cottage, spotlessly clean and with appliances that were easy to use.

Parking was not a problem and the location in the village was perfect, with bus stops and the pub a few minutes walk away. Wrelton is a great location for exploring this area, with pretty market towns like Helmsley and Pickering, excellent walking on the moors, and delicious food in pubs and cafes. Everything for a perfect holiday.

very nice and cosy and quiet,lovely to hear the dawn chorus as well.

We had a lovely holiday, the cottage is great.

Low ceilings but fine for us, if you are taller than 6ft could be an issue. Location is great for travelling around the North Yorkshire Moors, and into the city of York. Great food available from the local pub. We will definitely recommend it to friends and family

A lovely cottage in a great location.

The cottage was well maintained and very clean which provided a comfortable stay. As always a thoughtful welcome pack which was appreciated. We had wonderful week at Croft Head cottage. Hazel

Really nice comfortable cottage situated in a lovely area of North Yorkshire.

Owners gave us a friendly welcome and all the info we needed for our stay. Parking in the road was not a problem and always got a space directly in front of the cottage. The pub is just a three minute walk away and serves very nice food or just a drink if thats all you want. Good patio area in the sun behind the cottage, central heating is easily controlled to maintain a nice warm place to return to after a day out. We liked the setup of the accomodation and would certainly recommend it highly.

Perfect cottage, perfect stay.

Lovely owner always helpful. Will return.

We enjoyed our time at Croft Head Cottage very much!

It was clean and had everything we needed. We particularly appreciated the welcome tea and shortbread on our arrival. The bed linen and towels were crisp clean. The location is ideal for exploring the area. We enjoyed many hikes and stargazing! We would definitely recommend staying!

A lovely cottage in a beautiful little village.

Entrance tucked around the corner off the main road. On street parking but the road is just about only used by locals. The cottage itself has everything you would need with all the necessaries in the kitchen should you be “eating in”. The double bedroom is a reasonable size with views over the fields South. The wardrobe is on the landing outside. The twin single room upstairs is perfect for a couple of children or a third (or fourth) person. This has its own toilet and sink. The main bathroom, on the same floor as the main bedroom is nice with a good bath but the shower is only a “hand held” type with no curtain. All in all perfect for a base to explore the moors.

Lovely friendly cottage.

..very home from home. Great bed and pillows....lovely white towels.Everything you need. Great view...lovely courtyard..

Had a great time a good base to start are holiday To York the coasts and on the train to Whitby Will be back

Really nice property, we really enjoyed our stay.

Would have been nice to have the option to bbq on the patio.

(bbq not provided).3 dining chairs ( four people?).very uncomfortable bed ,mattress dipped in the middle, mattress topper didn’t help. Great Location for sightseeing.

Lovely, well equipped cottage in a beautiful location.

Pub and local buses very nearby. Plenty to do around and about. Really enjoyed my stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at Croft Head Cottage in the quiet and beautiful village of Wrelton.

The cottage was clean, cosy and I slept really well there as the bed I used was so comfortable. My parents also enjoyed the cottage, which is close to Pickering. I briefly met both owners, Martin and Gayle, who are both friendly and made sure our stay was great. The tea, milk and shortbread biscuits they provided was a nice touch. I would definitely recommend a visit to their cottage.

The cottage was lovely and in a good location.

Having the owner on site was great as Graham and his son Tom were very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed our holiday and the cottage was very comfortable and we felt very much at home. I would recommend all of the properties as we were given a tour of the other properties on site and we were very impressed with good quality and decoration. We are planning our next visit We visited for one week and returned today Evelyn and Bill

Gorgeous cottage with everything we needed.

Lovely cosy log fire and generous warm heating. Very quiet.

Absolutely perfect.

Not a single complaint .

Amazing cottage had everything you need, very comfortable and decorated to high standard.

Was so lovely quite at night could hear a pin drop. Great location as well didn’t need to drive far to see amazing places and to do local walks.

Well equpped cosy cottage in a quiet village close to Pickering within easy reach (by car) of places of interest, the coast and spectacular scenery.

(The village also has a bus service on a route from Helmsley to Scarborough). We joined English Heiritage and visited Pickering Castle, Whitby Abbey, Mount Grace Priory, Rivaullx Abbey and Helmsley Castle. Had a short trip on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway and a day at the beach in Scarborough. The week flew by

It was my second visit to the cottage, and found it just as comfortable and charming as the first time.

Both my son and I were vere very impressed with the standard of the accommodation and facilities available to us. Lovely hosts, and lots of happy memories of a great holiday in beautiful Yorkshire. Thank you

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Croft Head Cottage, everything we needed was there and appreciated the owner popping round to check we were o.

k.

Cottage was good centre point for visiting local attractions.

Clean and comfortable.

Excellent sun trap garden.Village made for rest and relaxation.Well placed for both seaside and country towns and villages.

We had a wonderful time!

The property was amazing and so beautiful. You thought of everything, and were so welcoming. Hopefully we will be back in the future if we end up in Yorkshire again :)

We came home on Wednesday as furniture was too low and uncomfortable for what we thought older people.

But cottage was beautiful.

Some nice period features in this tiny cottage, with all the modern basics you will need.

The property is nice and quaint and very clean.

Only one fault the double bed was very uncomfortable and caused myself and my wife a lot of distress with back pain.

We had a wonderful week in a location ideally suited to our needs.

The cottage itself is 'a proper cottage', clearly with its own historical interest and presented in a manner which is a credit to its thoughtful owners. Well done!

It was lovely.

Super clean and well equipped, with welcoming tea and biscuits, milk in the fridge and fruit in the bowl. Great views from the windows and a south facing sitting out area. Perfect!

Lovely little cottage in a nice village, we went with our young kids so were looking for a good base to reach various beaches and attractions and it certainly delivered.

There's a play park about two minutes walk round the corner and the coast is just over half an hour away. The courtyard was lovely to sit in in the sun and play games. We all had a great holiday, thanks so much for our stay!

Great place to stay, well located and lots to see in the surrounding areas!

It would handy if there was some tourist type information, along with recommendations of places to visit ie pubs & walks etc.

Just one thing I found it difficult to locate the cottage, I feel even though the name plate is very nice,from a car it’s difficult to see the name as I passed it three times before I found the cottage, Overall I found the cottage very pleasant and would recommend it to my family and friends.

A cosy cottage in a ideal location for visiting many attractions.

Lovely cottage, very cosy and with beautiful views from upstairs windows.

Very clean. Good range of cooking facilities good use of limited space. Lovely location, I would love to stay again.

We loved our visit to Croft Head Cottage, it was spotlessly clean and very comfortable.

The owners were friendly and approachable too. Tea, biscuits and fruit available on arrival which was a nice touch. An old building but with all mod cons. Small kitchen/living area but cosy and enough space for the 3 of us. Lovely quiet village location. Would recommend.

A brilliant place to unwind and relax with long evenings in by the woodburner.

A wonderful place to feel the history of the area and be close to the people who lived there. The old wrelton range in the kitchen was a treasure ( we found something similar at Fairfax house in york) The steam trains and ancient landscapes, Roman footprint and railway history across the whole north York moors national park was amazing. We loved the Local Catholic church in Pickering which was so welcoming and we felt awed by the local saint Fr Nicholas postgate who was martyred for his ministry to the local people and lived and worked in pickering as a gardener for many years

We arrived a little earlier than planned but was made to feel welcome the moment we met the cottage owners.

The cottage itself is stunning and kept immaculate, we was greeted with a pot of tea ready to be made and biscuits - my kind of welcome! My daughters were kept amused in the evenings with a collection of dvds and board games provided, they also enjoyed having their own little ensuite. We was always comfortable during our stay, the cottage was kept warm in the evenings but I recommend bringing slippers or thick socks due to the stone floor downstairs. Building wise, it's on 3 levels and it took some getting used to with the steep stairs and little people. No proper shower but a hand held one which for us never caused an issue. We had a washing machine in the cottage and a clothes airer which, with kids, came in handy! We was a short walk from a pub which served beautiful food and the best gin collection I had seen! A half hour or so drive to Scarborough, Whitby, York etc and we was out and about doing something somewhere every day. We would love to book again sometime in the future, a beautiful cottage, friendly owners and the location is ideal.

Steep stairs could be a problem for anyone with mobility problems,but otherwise a well equipped and cosy cottage located close to many great attractions,would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quite and peaceful holiday.

We enjoyed our stay despite the atrocious weather.

The cottage was very well appointed and cosy. The only thing that would have been even better would be if the cottage had a shower in the bathroom.

The cottage was full of character in a lovely peaceful location which was perfectly situated for us to visit the surrounding area.

We would love to go again in the near future.

The cottage was lovely and comfortable for our holiday stay.

Our sons loved the attic room with its own toilet. The cottage owners were welcoming and very helpful. The village was quiet and my sons loved going to the local park. The location was great to see the sights of Yorkshire.

Lovley added extras, milk, tea bags, biscuits and fruit.

We'd never heard of Wrelton but this village was a great holiday base.

20 miles from Whitby, York and Scarborough. Directions to the cottage were extremely accurate although you need to be careful on the road going in as it's a bit blind and some of the locals drive too fast. Cottage was lovely and we were provided with more than we expected, and had had in previous cottages we'd booked. Only saw the owners when arriving and leaving, but they were next door if we needed them which we didn't. There is a Lidl Supermarket on the main road in Pickering so an easy stop on the way back from a day out.

It may be impossible given the nature of the premises but if there was a way of getting a shower installed somewhere in the cottage it would make a comfort difference.

I have only given a tentative score re recommending Sykes due to the insurance issue. We are still looking into this and I foolishly did not ask the owners if they had insurance to cover accidental damage caused by the renters.

A very enjoyable holiday in a hastily rearranged venue due to late unavailability of our original booking.

However it gave us a new perspective on the area and we hope to return in due course.

Great location and very clean cottage

Great base for York, the Railway and the coast.

Squeezed loads into the week. Cottage was just right for a weeks stay and a lovely welcome
