  • "We really enjoyed our stay at Foxglove."

    It was comfortable, cosy and very peaceful. The conversion had been done to a very high standard and provided us with everything we could possibly want from a holiday let. A real bonus was the amazing view from the properties. We were able to look out over the valley and the moors with the added attraction of being able to see the steam trains of the North York Moors railway passing by. Our days started with the most amazing sunrises.

    We are very pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and thank you for taking the time to leave this lovely review You will be very welcome to stay with us again Kind regards Denise Property Owner

  • "Brilliant place to stay."

    ..landscape is stunning. Cottage lovely everything you need and more. Loved the hot tub and watching the steam train go by. Watching the barn owl was magical. Hosts are very welcoming. Away from.it all...very peaceful. The only downside is the track to reach the property...mud track with lots of pot holes.

    Many thanks for your lovely feedback and we are glad you enjoyed it. The wider estate has been doing some logging for two weeks and so a lorry did have to use the approach track to the estate which combined with some recent bad weather may have caused some temporary holes, the approach track will of course all be resolved very shortly. We are glad you enjoyed the solitude and local wildlife too. Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely 4 night stay at Foxglove."

    We received a warm welcome from Denise and her 2 sons, and found the property very clean and well-equipped for our stay - our only recommendations would be some lids for the saucepans and some fairy liquid in the kitchen. The property had beautiful views over the valley and a fantastic hot tub which we enjoyed every evening. We also had lots of fun with the 2 golden Labradors who were very friendly, and it was great to see the ducks and chickens! Thank you!

    Thank you for your review so pleased you enjoyed your selves I may have missed the washing up liquid as we live on site we’re always available to assist Kind regards Denise Property Owner

    Very cosy and comfortable with everything you could need. We received a warm welcome from host Denise. One of the most memorable highlights is sitting in the hot tub with a glass of wine, watching the steam trains pass in the valley below. Highly recommended.

    The welcome pack was certainly above average and the overall level of relaxation and peace was soon very evident, All in all very limited in what to say that could have improved our stay, and in truth with all the positives experienced it would feel petty to even consider mentioning anything .

  • "Our recent week's stay at Foxglove, exceeded any expectations we might have had."

    We were welcomed by Denise on arrival who explained everything. Denise was the most hospitable and friendly host we have ever had the fortune of meeting! The place was spotless, beautifully decorated and we even had a lovely hamper waiting for us too. Denise even took showed us her fabulous duck pond and all the chickens, cockerels and rabbits! What a lovely lady! We had the most fabulous relaxing week. The hot tub was 5* and we'd often watch the steam train trundle by in the valley below, then there were the visits from super friendly and funny Ozzy & Casper (the doggies) Gaz the cat and the 4 friendly white ducks on our doorstep a twice a day!! We cannot wait to revisit Foxglove. It truly was a very special place and a hidden gem. Great places to visit in Whitby too, thoroughly recommend the Park & Ride. Free parking and £2.60 per person return & 10 mins on the bus. We can honestly say, we arrived at Foxglove as guests, but left as friends. Special thanks to Christopher (Denise's son) for his kindness, always being on hand and checking the hot tub every day!

    It was a real pleasure having you wonderful couple stay with us. I must say Casper, Ozzy, Gaz and the ducks miss you. We look forward to seeing you here again and a massive thank you for leaving the barn in a wonderful clean condition. Kind regards Denise Property Owner

  • "The cottage is beautiful and on the whole, well equipped."

    We mentioned to Denise whilst we were staying that the addition of a towel rail in the bathroom and a small light in the dining area would make it perfect. We had to resort to hanging our towels on the clothes horse each day as there was nowhere to put them to dry after a shower. The track down to the cottage is definitely not for the faint hearted. I had no idea reading the reviews that is was so steep and would have really appreciated it being mentioned before we booked. Yes the views are stunning once you get down to the cottage but it would have been nice to know how steep and long the track was beforehand. For those wanting peace and quiet as well as stunning views this cottage is perfect.

    We are in the process of putting a hoop in the shower room for a towel to be hung up. However, the clothes horse is there to dry towels on, especially as our customers use the hot tub being a one bed cottage. There isn’t room for a heated towel rail in the bathroom. We are positioned on the side of the valley, and thus you will need to come down a Farm track, to reach us and enjoy the beautiful panoramic views of the valley As always, we appreciate our customers feedback. Thank you.Denise Property Owner

    Friendly hosts and mostly well equipped, though missed a cafetiere, and a towel rail in the bathroom would be helpful. Really appreciated the dishwasher though! As others have noted the track to the property is steep and very potholed, glad it wasn't too muddy while we were there.

    We are lucky to be onsite and able to obtain anything that our guests needed just ask and I would get one. Having the panoramic beautiful views on a valley will indeed mean that we have a gradient to reach us. And the road is due a reconstruction in accordance with the owners. We thank you for your custom we wish you both well Denise Property Owner

About the location

GOATHLAND

Whitby 9 miles.

The idyllic village of Goathland is set on the north eastern edge of the North York Moors National Park. It is surrounded by the rugged open moorlands which provide excellent walking country and on which sheep graze freely. The village has been popularised by the television programme Heartbeat. At the bottom of the village lies the station for the famous North York Moors Steam Railway. Here you can catch a train to Whitby or Pickering and relax as the train winds its way through the moors. Goathland is within easy reach of the East Coast towns of Whitby, Staithes, Robin Hoods Bay and Scarborough, making it a great holiday base.
