"We really enjoyed our week's holiday at Orchard Cottage."
Lynn and John keep the cottage immaculate and would recommend anyone that wants a peaceful holiday to stay at the cottage. The view is lovely - seeing the sheep and lambs every morning and the steam train going by at the bottom of the garden. Our rescue dog enjoyed it as well and we were amazed that he coped with the spiral staircase!

"An absolutely brilliant week !"
We could not wish for a better place to stay to experience the relaxing sights and sounds of the North York Moors. The sign of a great week away is not wanting to come home. 5 out of 5 in everyway.
Thankyou for everything.

"The WiFi router software is out of date and brings up warnings on the laptop."
It dropped out frequently on the laptop making it unusable. We had work to cover which was less than ideal. This needs addressing. Also the description prior to booking never mentioned there is poor mobile phone coverage and I think that’s unhelpful (at best) .
These were the 2 negative findings we had. Otherwise the cottage was comfortable and in a lovely setting.

"Lovely cottage and location."
Great to see the steam trains. Very well laid out and lots of space outside. Additions suggested would be a bath mat and washing machine. Internet for streaming TV was slow/stopped at times. Maybe a blu ray player (there is a dvd player)

"Orchard cottage was very comfortable and has a lovely upside down layout."
just to the South of Goathland. It is a great location, very quiet and peaceful. You can walk easily into Goathland along the disused railway. Very good location for exploring Moors, Whitby and the coast.
The cottage is next to the preserved north yorkshire moors railway great if some of the group love watching steam trains.

"We had a lovely holiday, the enclosed garden was perfect for our dog with numerous walks straight from the cottage."
The weather was marvellous, a real bonus as this was our first holiday since the start of the pandemic. The spiral staircase was initially a problem for our big old dog, but she did eventually get used to it. If you have a dog and like walking, then this is a perfect cottage in a lovely location, with the bonus of steam trains passing at the bottom of the garden.

"This is a well appointed and interesting cottage constructed from a barn."
The quirky upside down layout gives a feeling of spaceousness, the heating system works well and the setting beside the heritage railway among sheep filled fields is very relaxing. Only small downside is a lack of a dishwasher especially during Covid restrictions which prevent eating out in the locality.

"Superb hosts, fantastic location, beautiful cozy property whatever the weather, it really is a fantastic place to stay."
The surroundings can't be faulted and with the majority of the track/path between Goathland itself and the property now gravelled, even for those who aren't keen walkers, it's a very accessible route into the village on foot. Certainly a 'stay again' property, fantastic.

"Wonderful and quite unique conversion of an old barn."
It’s quite an achievement to provide the this combination of style and comfort in a building of this age.
Lacks the odd modern comfort like dishwasher but it’s a minor factor all in all because there are so many opportunities to eat out nearby.
Location is exceptional for walkers, steam train enthusiasts or even Heatbeat fans. So much to see and do and only 10 miles to the coast.
A thoroughly enjoyable week.
