"Meadow Cottage is really comfortable with great views over a field full of sheep and rabbits!"
The cottage is well equipped with everything you could ever need for a relaxing week away, with a large kitchen diner and two good sized bedrooms, and is conveniently located for touring North Yorks, less than an hour from York and Scarborough and only a few minutes away from the excellent Ryedale Folk Museum and the North Yorks Heritage Railway.

The owner and family were very welcoming. The cottage was very well equipped and spotlessly clean.

"A comfortable cottage in a peaceful setting."
It had everything I needed for my holiday, including areas to walk my dog. It is positioned well for exploring the local area and there was so much to see and do. I will definitely be back.

"We had a brilliant holiday in Meadow Cottage."
Janet the owner was very kind and friendly. It was wonderful looking out of the picture window watching the field of sheep grazing. The surrounding area was quiet and beautiful. We enjoyed visiting nearby villages and small towns like Kirkby Moorside and Helmsley.

"The cottage on this very smart farm was ideal for our mountain biking holiday."
Very peaceful location with friendly family and scotty dog to look after us. Would help to have more seating outside but otherwise we were very happy. Thank you. Jon Tye.

"The approach to the property was impressive with tree lined track."
The host was very welcoming and were very grateful for the last minute accommodation after being let down. The accommodation was comfortable but is in need of refurbishment, we do appreciate it is a working farm.

"We had a really comfortable stay at Cowldyke Farm."
The cottage was cosy, was very well equipped and peaceful. Although the farm was in the countryside it was close to all amenities. We would be happy to go again and can highly recommend the cottage.

"This is a working sheep farm, so be prepared for a little mud on your car."
On saying that though it wasn't that bad. We went end of March and considering it a working sheep farm it was quite good. The cottage was warm and clean and well looked after. Would go back again. Thank you.

"Mrs Benton and her son were very friendly and welcoming."
The cottage was clean, tidy. lovely and warm. The cottage is in easy reach of Kirbymoorside, Pickering, Helmsley and Thirsk as well as Whitby. My wife and I can thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can highly recommend it and it was delightful to see the sheep in the meadows first thing in the morning...

"This was a very enjoyable stay, with a warm welcome on arrival."
I would certainly come here again. The location is fantastic, very peaceful with lovely views. The cottage is comfortable and clean, and well equipped, although the white wear is old. The cottage was cold on arrival, and took a while to warm up with the storage heaters. The wood fire is a bonus and very pleasant, but only tends to heat directly in front of it, a good touring centre, with easy access to the main roads.
-
"The cottage felt chilly due to storage heating not on during evening."
the open fire was very close to settee and not much point as only small area would feel any benifit. The bedding had been good quality but in need of updating. Rooms quite dark and dusty.rather dated.
-
"Lovely cottage in a quiet location in the countryside, very friendly owners (& their pets were too!"
). We thoroughly enjoyed staying here.
-
"This is the perfect place for a couple or older family wanting some peace and quiet."
Set within the owners working farm, this sits as part of a number of small holiday lets. Meadow cottage has access to a shared courtyard, but this is not secure so you will need to keep dogs on leads unless they never leave your side. (Especially given as the farm has sheep and livestock just outside the courtyard. The location is wonderfully quiet and relaxing, with the large window from the lounge looking over a field. Probably not ideal for younger children unless you are using as a base for daily outings but older families will enjoy the relaxing atmosphere . The owners are welcoming and happy to assist if needed and the cottage is clean and comfortable. Most things you would wish for are available and the open fire makes for cosy evenings watching a movie or playing a boardgame.

-
"Loved our second stay at this beautiful farm."
We will come back!
-
"The cottage was homely and comfortable, we felt at home as soon as we arrived."
There was plenty of room for the two of us . It was a great base for exploring the Howardian hills and we did some lovely walks during the week. Janet and family were around most of the time and showed us the lambs as it was in the middle of lambing season. Friendly helpful owners. We will return when in the area.
-

"The cottage was really cosy and comfortable."
It was very clean and had all the equipment needed for a self-catering stay. The view from the lounge window and bedroom was beautiful. The surrounding farm land was well looked after and the cottage was located in a very quiet area which made for a peaceful and relaxing stay. There is a lovely river running through the farm and is easily accessible through the fields. A lovely walk and friendly inquisitive sheep and goats on the way. The owners of the farm were very friendly and always stopped for a chat and asked how our day has been. Janet even went out of her way before we arrived to find out if anyone locally was selling eggs. She rang me back to let me know. Unfortunately due to coronavirus there were no eggs for sale but normally a neighbour would be selling them. The cottage is in easy driving distance for many of the local attractions. We really enjoyed our stay and even though times are difficult and uncertain at the moment we felt safe and had a relaxing and enjoyable break. We would recommend Meadow Cottage or any of the other cottages on Cowldyke farm.

"The owners made us feel extremely welcome and went out of their way by helping us out by pulling our vehicle out of a muddy field during a diversion after floods."
Plenty of long walks and nearby villages. Our only negative the facilities. With us having 1 small child it would have been nice if there were hay bails or swings or something on site to keep him occupied. Apart from that it was a really lovely break and highly recommend it to anyone looking for peace and tranquility.
-
"Friendly and welcoming hosts, always available for advice ."
Cottage very comfortable, spotlessly clean, good quality beds and stocked with everything you need. Good heating but Log fire available for colder nights. Lovely courtyard to sit and enjoy the sun. Quiet location so peaceful but with plenty to do in the surrounding areas. My grandson loved seeing the sheep and chickens and the owners cats. The owner had toys in the property and ride on tractors and bikes to play with outside, he had a ball. Would highly recommend
-
"Lovely cottage, lovely hosts, very quiet and lots to do and see in the area."
Tesco happy to deliver there.My grandchildren loved the toy tractors and the farm cats and hens. The only thing I missed was internet access, otherwise it would have been a 10 and a perfect break perfect break.
-
"Lovely cottage in a lovely countryside location."
Made to feel very welcome by the hosts.

"Perfect as a base to travel around and visit local attractions."
Freedom to do lots of walks on nearby land with our dog and also many suitable Toy tractors etc for our grandchild to play on. Janet and son John were perfect hosts.

"Lovely holiday in Meadow Cottage."
Delightful rural location situated in the heart of the farm. Charming cottage clean well laid out well equipped. Owners were charming and helpful. Close to Malton and Pickering both nice small market towns. We went a bit further afield on some days Scarbrough, Whitby, Filey all with an hours drive. Ideal for walkers. Highlight for me was at night observing the stars without light pollution. Would recommend this property without hesitation. One cottage we will return to. The dog loved it as well!
