  • "Lovely cottage with everything provided that you could possibly need."

    Only slight bit of feedback is that instructions for the cooker and microwave would have been useful.Gardens well maintained and ideal for dogs. Owner Cath is a very pleasant lady and made us welcome. Altogether a very enjoyable stay.

  • "We had a wonderful week at Blakey."

    The views from the property were amazing and it was great to have so much space for the dog to explore. The cottage itself was extremely comfortable and had everything we could possibly need. The welcome from Carol was lovely and she offered lots of different ideas for places to visit as we were new to the area. The cottage is so convenient for a range of seaside villages and towns as well as easy access to the moors Local pub very good value for food.

  • "This is a wonderful place, with gracious and attentive hosts."

    From the warm welcome, through the occasional check ins to check all was well, through to a final, fond farewell, a perfect balance of attentiveness and privacy was maintained throughout our stay. On top of that the location is fantastic - both in terms of the cottage and the local area, and we frankly had a wonderful, relaxing and highly enjoyable time. Would that all holiday cottages be run by such deeply lovely people as this one! Thank you so much for making our stay so memorable and delightful.

    A lovely, comfortable modern cottage with adequate space and facilities for 2 people. The owners couldn't have been more lovely, from the warm welcome, to a fond farewell (and plenty of chats in between). Fantastic location for exploring the NYorks Moors and Coast, peaceful, yet not too far off the beaten track. We will definitely be returning. Thank you Carol & Chuck x

    Location is spot on, very peaceful, nice that they have Blakey, that is set aside for dogs to stay, secure to let them run around on the grassy areas or for walks along the quiet lanes. Lovely welcome and gifts on arrival.
