The kitchen was well equipped ; including cleaning materials, (which are sometimes lacking in cottages) There was a plentiful supply of local literature, pamphlets, maps, walks etc., and a comprehensive folder of cottage information. Also a huge array of books. The views were lovely, in a peaceful location. we were able to walk from the cottage in different directions, on 3 days to save us from driving. The owners kindly left delicious home made marmalade, a local cake, tea, coffee, and milk. Thank you. The area and cottage to be recommended.

“Sykes colleagues really helped out when I mistakenly booked another cottage, and quickly supported in booking Blinkbonny.”

The cottage was fantastic, with the interior cosy, comfortable and yet modern enough to satisfy my two daughters. We struggled to work out the refuse bin contents, but otherwise no problems at all! The cake and tea ready for us when we arrived was a great welcoming touch.

“Cottage was lovely and even better than the photos indicated.”

Plus there was information about all the things to do and places to visit in the area. Good communication via the app and the owners

“A very comfortable, characterful cottage in a beautiful location.”

The cottage was well equipped with lovely bedrooms and a great bathroom. The stone walled yard was full of pretty flowering tubs and was good for eating outside and relaxing in the sun. We enjoyed a fantastic week exploring the beautiful moors and coastal villages. We would definitely recommend .

“Excellent cottage with lovely surroundings.”

The only observation I would make, was the rather poor shower!!!

- Mr Douglas, December 2017
“This is a comfortable, well appointed, extremely clean cottage. It was a pleasure to stay there.”

Our review really states it all in the the title. The cottage is well equipped with really nice touches. There was a thoughtful welcome pack and much information about the surrounding area. Bertie (dog) enjoyed being made welcome everywhere. We very much hope to return.

“The cottage is in an ideal location for walking with a lovely dog friendly pub just 2 minutes walk away which serves good food.”

The cottage is warm and cosy with everything you need provided. It is clean and homely and we settled in quickly. There are some lovely walks from the cottage and Whitby, Staithes and Goathland are not far away. We had a great week.

The owners had thought of everything to make our holiday stress free Very comfortable bed, kitchen well equipped Good views and plenty of walks Good pubs and value for money

- Mrs Wilcox, July 2017
“Lovely clean homely cottage, fully equipped with everything you need.”

Lovely small walled garden, like a sun trap, with garden furniture. Views from cottage beautiful. Ideal location for visiting coast and villages, e.g. Whitby, staithes, robin hoods bay, goathland and Rosedale etc. Arncliffe arms a few doors away, handy for lunch, evening meal or just a drink.

- Mrs Martin, July 2017
“This is a very lovely cottage with every thing you need.”

It was lovely and quiet and a great area for walking. Hope to book it again later in the year. Also a local pub at the end of the terrace which did food. Thank you Jonathan and Rachel

Excellent

- Mr Wilson, November 2016
“Lovely cosy cottage.”

Great facilities & a nice welcome pack. The cottage was located in a quiet village which had a good butcher & a pub that served quality food. There was a log burner in the lounge but we didn't need to use it because the cottage was so warm.

“Delightful cottage”

Blinkbonny is a lovely cottage in Glaisdale and is perfectly situated to explore the Dales. The cottage has everything you could need for a comfortable stay. The pub is 100 yards away and the village has a very good butchers and a village shop, although the shop in nearby Lealholm has a far better range of everyday goods.

The property

A charming, stone-built end-terrace cottage, in Glaisdale village, in the heart of the North York Moors National Park.

Set in an elevated position, with lovely views over hills and woodland, this traditional cottage provides a comfortable holiday home for a family or friends wishing to explore the superb surrounding countryside, but be within a few minutes’ drive of the seaside town of Whitby.

Inside the cottage there is a warm and welcoming sitting room, with beamed ceilings and a cosy woodburning stove, where you can relax with a refreshing drink after a busy day in this lovely part of the country.

There is a galley kitchen, whilst cottage stairs lead up to the two pretty bedrooms and family bathroom.

Outside, there is a small, sheltered walled patio, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee whilst taking in the lovely views.

A couple of minutes’ walk brings you to the friendly, local village pub, serving real ales and good food, whilst the village shop and renowned butcher lie half a mile away towards the other end of the village.

Glaisdale is in a wonderful location, with the River Esk meandering through it and with an excellent network of public footpaths, including the Coast to Coast, which passes the door of the cottage.

There is a tiny railway station, with four trains a day passing through to Whitby, enabling guests to leave their car behind and spend a day discovering this historic port, with its famous Abbey and glorious, sandy beaches.

Wander around the cobbled market square and quirky, narrow lanes, partake in tea and cakes in one of the many tea rooms, or take an exhilarating cliff top walk.

With many attractions to visit, including the steam railway at Grosmont and the nearby Danby Moors Centre, this cottage provides a good base for an interesting and varied holiday.

About the location

GLAISDALE

Whitby 9 miles; Pickering 21 miles.

A peaceful village on the edge of the North York Moors National Park, Glaisdale is set amongst beautiful countryside in the heart of the Esk Valley. The village itself has a post office in the general store, an excellent butcher (famed for his pork pies) and one hotel/pub, with restaurant. Further afield, Whitby and the coast are just 9 miles away whilst the quaint moorland villages of Hutton-le-Hole, Lastingham and Thornton Dale and the market town of Pickering are all within easy touring distance. For something a little quieter, why not take a trip to the less-discover gem of Saltburn by the Sea, a charming, Victorian seaside resort. The terminus of the North York Moors Railway is at nearby Grosmont, inviting you to take a steam railway ride back in history through beautiful moorland scenery.
