  • "Lovely location and lovely cosy cottage."

    Reviewed by JohnNov 2023

  • "Excellent cottage and location."

    Enjoyed our stay.

    Reviewed by SimonNov 2023

  • "It is a lovely cottage, plenty of space and the access to walks without needing to get in the car was excellent."

    We had good weather and a lovely week. We didn't mind the isolation, but I dont think the online details give a full impression of how far you have to drive to get anywhere and the fact that the narrow single lane track is a bit of a deterrent to going out in the dark.

  • "CottageVal was excellent in every way, and within the property it was very accessible for the elderly or disabled."

    A toiletries shelf close to the shower and a shower grab rail in the downstairs wet room would have been helpful. Underfloor heating was heaven, the kitchen was superbly equipped and the sea view was so dreamy. The approach road was longer, narrower and steeper than we expected. A very peaceful and special location.

  • "A glorious place to stay which, although off the beaten track, is close enough to walk to Robin Hood's Bay (made easier if the tide is out) as well as Raven Hall Hotel where you can have a drink or meal while enjoying stunning scenery."

    The cottage was a delight with a well equipped kitchen, a powerful shower and comfortable furnishings. We particularly loved the feeling of space with its high vaulted ceiling. Broadband was a bit hit and miss at times but we were usually able to use the internet and watch Netflix. All in all a great base from which to do lots of walking!

    It was a fantastic place to get away from the busyness of normal life and properly relax. Linda was extremely helpful in answering all of our questions and making us feel especially welcome. Thank you for such a lovely stay - we hope we will be able to come back again very soon!

  • "This is a lovely holiday cottage, well equipped in a charming remote location."

    There is a price to pay for the remoteness which is that vehicular access is not easy - a long single track lane on which meeting oncoming traffic would be a challenge, so not for the nervous driver! Overall though a great spot. We have been twice and have already booked another visit.

  • "We (2 adults, 2 children and a dog) really enjoyed our stay at CottageVal, it was such a cosy, comfortable, clean and well equipped place."

    The beds were really comfy and we all slept really well. The underfloor heating downstairs was great and kept the cottage lovely and warm, as well as using the wood burner in an evening. There are DVDs and Games available to play. It was so remote and peaceful - which we loved - seeing the deer running on the road on our way back to the cottage was a highlight. We went down to the beach for walks and cycled along the Cinder Track to Robin Hoods Bay (lots of pot holes to avoid) and to Ravenscar (better surface to ride on). At Ravenscar, we walked down to see all the seals and saw some Adders sunbathing on the side of the path - we've never seen wild ones before. It was nice to talk to Linda prior to arriving and receiving the welcome pack, with lots of info for your stay. We have recommended it to family and friends, hopefully we'll be back again sometime.

    We had a nice break before Christmas. The cottage was warm, and cosy very well equipped your email with instructions and guides made it easy to use all the appliances. It was spotlessly clean. The bed was really comfy. It was nice to come back in the evening to the log fire after a walks we found on the doorstep. We would love to come back and would highly recommend. Tom & Terri

  • "We had a wonderful stay at CottageVal."

    I feel like the photos don’t do the place justice! Very spacious, clean and comfortable. A brilliant place to take your dog, tiled floor throughout, plenty of outdoor space, lots of grass which was great for our fussy Spaniel, Nelly. We enjoyed some great days out to Sandsend, Boggle Hole, Robin Hoods Bay and Filey. Evenings were spent back at the cottage, cosy by the log burner. We enjoyed it that much, we’re already looking to book again for next year! Our only little recommendation would be to have an outdoor light onto the back garden, just to make night time toilet trips for the dog that little bit easier! Thank you for a great stay, Jonny, Shelby and Nelly x

  • "Really loved this place, I was able to relax and unwind in only a couple of days - it was clean, warm and well appointed, with a lovely setting."

    A little bit remote (I didnt realise it was quite such a long drive from Robin Hood's Bay) but great for walking the dog and going to see the sea!

  • "This cottage ticks many boxes for people who stay here."

    The owners are very approachable and welcoming and fill in any missing answers to questions you may have. The opportunities for walkers are countless including for dog owners with many walks starting at the cottage. Peace and quiet are a given and I have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone. My only suggestion would be to have an area which is totally enclosed to the rear so giving dogs an area to stretch their legs. Whilst our dog is well behaved this is a working farm area which affords many smells and delights for dogs so an enclosed area would be a great benefit and would have avoided his clash with an electric fence.

    Reviewed by NigelSep 2022

  • "As with previous feedback, cottage is in a lovely setting with great views."

    It was a pleasure to stay in the cottage for our week away so cannot fault it. The only thing to add would be that the cottage is situated some way off any main road via a small driveway which is what takes the time if a visit to the shop is required. Not a complaint just a FYI! Many thanks Laura & Tom for all your hard work

  • "CottageVal is a beautiful property in a stunning location."

    Perfect for dog walking along the cinder path and down to the beaches. Linda and Tom are brilliant hosts and really make you feel welcome. It’s nice to be able to go on holiday with your dog to such a well appointed cottage, it’s even better in the flesh than on the photos. We have stayed twice now at cottageVal and would love to stay again, we couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

We have yet to make the drive back to the cottage without exclaiming at the breathtaking views. And as for the wildlife you can see on those drives, especially at dusk, we were just thrilled! Thank you for another wonderful holiday and we look forward to being back in beautiful CottageVal again next year.

  • "Linda and Tom were so welcoming and helpful."

    This was a much needed break - beautiful view of the sea and Robin Hood's Bay and the moors. Much wildlife to enjoy. The Cinder Track runs right by the Cottage and a great starting point for walking. The night skies superb and some great sunsets. Went down to the beach most days and the Boggle Hole YHA well worth a visit for coffee/tea, cakes and on certain days light meals. Visited Whitby, Sandsend, Ravenscar and Scarborough - but so many other places to see that we did not make - so will have to return at some point. Could easily have stayed for 2 weeks.

  • "The property was of an outstanding quality."

    Everything was perfect. A superbly renovated, warm, comfortable barn with everything we could possibly need for cooking etc. Lots of firewood was just one of the generous touches. Comfortable beds, lovely shower and bathrooms. Spectacular views with easy access to the cinder track to take walks, runs or bike rides. A huge bonus with a dog was all the outside space if you have a well behaved dog who won’t run off. The owners live close by and were so friendly and lovely. Dog blankets and bowl provided. Great outdoor patio with bbq. We had an absolutely wonderful stay. The peace and quiet of the location and the high quality of the barn were an absolute delight.

    facilities are all that you need, and more. strange water system, must be a pumped system, as when you turn on the tap or shower some times there was a considerable delay then a full spurt to send water every were. Very cosy for an evening by the wood burner. Cob webs could do with clearing but over all clean.

    Incredibly warm and cosy with great facilities and amazing views. We were there during the February storms which was rather exciting! The beds are extremely comfortable,water pressure is great and the WiFi good. The walks from the cottage are amazing.We walked to Boggle Hole along the Cinder Track and then on to Robin Hood's Bay along the Cleveland Way. Walking the opposite way along the Cinder Track we visited Ravenscar. A long,quite steep walk downhill takes you to the seal colony.We felt incredibly privileged to see so many of these amazing creatures in their natural habitat. Many thanks to Linda and Tom.We would love to return!
