  • "Stones throw is a beautifully decorated cottage finished to a very high standard."

    It's a pretty village well situated for several places for breakfast and dinner and close to the coastal resorts. The beds and sofas are very comfortable and the shower spacious. The TV is enormous and very much enjoyed by the teenager and WiFi running about 35mbps. Parking on site ina shared private carpark. The garden is beautifully mature planting and seating. The only suggestion w would make to improve the stay would be higher and more private fencing.

    Hi Richard what a lovely review thank you I’ve taken everything on board about privacy and will be making the garden more private and I would like to just say sorry if any issues effected your stay thanks again Richard Property Owner

  • "Had a wonderful 3 night stay it was spotless well equipped and owners live in the pub next door which has sadly closed down , They were both really helpful and suggested local fish chip places when asked and provided more hand towels when asked ."

    The beds were really comfortable ,we didn’t realise the bathroom was down stairs don't let that put you off the owners have been very thoughtful and there is a motion sensor light which turns on and off which was a great idea! Theres a lovely garden to sit and have morning coffee a cosy log burner (we didn’t need as weather was lovely. A huge tv with Netflix and comfy sofa to relax in the evening The heating and hot water took a little bit of tine to figure out more instructions in the handy book provided would have been good (the shower was big and lovely and hot) In the book theres a list of a places to visit . We had our weekend planned already Scarborough ,Helmsley ,Whitby , Robin Hoods Bay its a great base to see many things in Yorkshire! Would go again if returning to the area Thanks Matthew and Amanda for sharing your cottage with us
