A beautiful cottage in a stunning location, on a road that’s very busy morning, evenings and weekends.

Noisy boy racers were using it as a race track for hours, so best avoid local car rally days. We found a really dirty beaker in the shower room. It was covered in liquid toothpaste / dribble. The bathroom wash basin slopes, so things slide off, including the ceramic soap dispenser which we then had to find a replacement for, late Saturday evening (sorry!). The shower curtain could do with a launder. Some trays would be useful for making tea, to save the worktops, and for carrying food through the lounge into the dining room. Having said all that, we would return and the above could turn it from 4* to a 5* in our opinion! It would also be handy to know how to contact the owner out of hours!

Whilst we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rose Cottage there was, for us, a downside.

We were 3 generations of family. We, as Grandparents and in our 70's, thought that the downstairs bedroom would be ideal for us. Unfortunately it wasn't. Because of the size of the room the bed had to be pushed against a wall. The only access being from one side. If the bathroom was needed in the night the person on the wall side would either have to climb over the other person or shimmy down and over the bed end. We tried to move it diagonally but with no success. Also when we moved it we found an empty yoghurt pot and it clearly hadn't been cleaned underneath for ages. Having said all of this the rest of the cottage was great and very clean and suited our family beautifully. As I said, the downstairs bedroom was the only stumbling block in a lovely cottage and garden.

Gorgeous property and a very high spec - amazing welcome Hamper - we couldn’t finish it all!

Kids loved the outdoor games selections and there’s plants to choose from indoors too. Ideal base to pop to and from Scarborough and the village Fish Restaurant, Walkers, was excellent!
