Low Grounds Cottage

We loved our visit to Low Grounds Cottage.

The location was lovely and peaceful with a short drive to lots of walks and places to explore. The cottage was cosy, clean and welcoming. We plan on visiting again!

Lovely cottage.

Extremely well equipped. Owners are very helpful. Nice touch, welcome pack of eggs, biscuits preserves and milk.

If you want a secluded holiday cottage then Low Ground Farm cottage is for you.

We had a lovely peaceful stay at Low Ground cottage, the cottage is equipped with everything you need. The beds are very comfortable and everywhere was clean and tidy. An added bonus was the lovely fresh bread left out for us and the fresh eggs, milk & biscuits, a lovely touch. We hope to visit again soon

Such a beautiful place!

The welcome treats were delicious and the home made bread was extremely tasty. Love the little personal touches, like the beautiful painted welcome note, thank you! The place was perfectly clean! Thank you for a lovely stay! I will miss the Cockerel parading around the grounds ha ha!

We had such a lovely time at Low Grounds Cottage - it was beautiful and clean and had everything you could want, with really high standard furnishings.

The location was perfect - so peaceful, with gorgeous views; we kept saying it reminded us of the tv show Dallas, looking out at the rolling lawns! Was only 5 mins drive to our favourite place in Yorkshire (Helmsley) too. We also joyed the gift of home made bread, eggs, jams and milk - very thoughtful of the owners, who were super friendly and kind when we bumped into them. We’ll be booking to return! Thank you!

Very comfortable inside the cottage but some comfy chairs for sitting outside would have been welcome.

We spend around 10 to 12 weeks of the year in North Yorkshire and have been doing so for the past 3 years, as it is the place that my wife and i would love to move to .

Within the next few years. We have stayed at various properties during this time all booked through sykes and all good properties apart from one of them so all in all not a bad result. However, Low Grounds Cottage is by far the best we have ever stayed in It is laid out well, it is clean, tidy roomy and has ever thing you need a home from home. The scenery is outstanding, and it is a photographer's dream with the open flowing fields and the superb sunsets, along with the wildlife that is all around you it is the place to be from seeing deer, rabbits, hares. Pheasants to name a few it is fantastic and it is even better as this place is so quiet and peaceful just right to charge your batteries.Being there is no light pollution, which is also a bonus if you like to study the sky at night .We arrived on the Hottest Friday of the year so far and were greeted by the smell of freshly Baked Bread and when i say bread i mean bread, it is the best loaf iv ever tasted and baked by our host, the Lovely Sarah, along with the free-range eggs Jams that were left and the milk and tea and coffee it was a lovely surprise. There was even a cold jug of water left in the fridge, and wow, was that welcome after a 300-mile journey from the coast in Kent. We wanted to stay for another week but the property was fully booked but i am not surprised, as this is one of Sykes ' top places to stay. As the Terminator said, I'll be back alone with the wife that is .Thankyou Sarah for the most wonderful stay and hope to see you soon Dave and Gloria

Had a fabulous week here.

Sarah was really helpful. Cottage was the best we have ever stayed in and we have stayed in quite a few. Loved the little touches, bread, eggs, biscuits, jams and milk. We were lucky enough to sit outside at night and it was just so peaceful. Thank you Sarah and Fran. We have booked again for next yeat

Was at a loss on how to use the cooker oven and grill.

Thought it was broken but owner was kind enough to show me how it worked. Perhaps some info on how to use the cooker would be helpful as not all appliances are the same The owners Fran and Sarah were very friendly and helpful. The welcome gift pack was way above par. The location is very remote which we loved. The accommodation is lovely and very comfortable. We hope to be back again very soon. Loved it.

Excellent really enjoyed our short break saw lots of hares and Partridge.

Very comfortable accommodation. Lovely free range eggs bread milk provided very thoughtful. Love to stay again very peaceful and relaxing thank you

The property was excellent and the home made bread, butter and the freshley laid eggs were delicious and much appreciated.

The beds were comfortable, the wood burner a real bonus in April, the heating efficient, shower very good and perhaps the only downsides were the rough road to get to it (but it was worth it to experience the beautiful views and sunsets) and the kitchen was a bit narrow for four adults to sit on two bences at the dining table and still be able to get to the cooker, fridge and drawers. However we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and many thanks to Fran and Sarah for their friendly care and attention.

We had the best time at Low Grounds Cottage; it was one of the most peaceful and comfortable places we have ever stayed.

The homemade bread and fresh eggs were a wonderful added touch and the host, Sarah, was lovely and on hand if we needed anything. I can’t recommend highly enough if you’re looking for a relaxing break in a beautiful part of the country.

A lovely cottage and as per previous reviews, although the property owner is next door, it feels very private and quiet.

I had one query whilst there and received a reply almost immediately. Lovely welcome pack and my dog absolutely loved the jar of treats. This cottage is quite remote, about 1 mile out of Harome so if you are looking for a relaxing break, it’s perfect.

Our second stay at the perfect Low Grounds Cottage.

Everything you could need it’s very much home from home. Such a chilled relaxing stay once more. Thankyou so much to wonderful hosts Sarah , Fran ,Louis and Wolfie! A lovely welcome with homemade bread and eggs (from the hens on site) and other treats too. We will be back in 2026!

After spending 5 nights at Low Grounds Cottage, can honestly say this has been one of the most relaxing breaks we as a family have ever taken.

Really peaceful, very cosy and comfortable and will be definitely returning in the future.

We had a gorgeous week at Low Grounds cottage.

Fabulous surroundings and views. It was absolutely immaculate. The kitchen was well equipped and we were very grateful for the care package upon arrival. Great location for visiting the area, plenty of things to do. Thank you!!

Fabulous everything perfect

Very comfortable and well equipped cottage.

On arrival there was home made bread and eggs from the owners free range hens. Beautiful setting, really relaxing stay. Great base to explore the local area.

Low grounds cottage is a real gem in a peaceful area a place to unwind and recharge Good location for exploring the east coast and of course the Yorkshire moors would definitely recommend and stay again in the future the host was very friendly and welcoming including the dogs and horses thankyou

We had a wonderful week at Low Grounds.

It was great to receive a lovely welcome pack, including fresh eggs and homemade bread. The cottage is everything we wanted: perfect layout and standard of furnishings in a peaceful location. Nice to see the free-range hens wandering around every day. Was a fantastic escape from our hectic lives at home, but brilliantly located to explore the Vale of York, North Yorks Moors National Park and the coast. Loved being so close to Helmsley too. We didn’t want to leave. Special thanks to Sarah for being so kind and welcoming (and for forwarding a shirt I somehow managed to leave behind). Hope to return one day.

A beautifully equipped cottage right out in the countryside.

Well-stocked with games, puzzles and a few books. The kitchen had tea, coffee, sugar and things like washing up liquid and salt too. We were delighted to find a fresh loaf of bread, free-range eggs from the chickens nearby and a pint of milk in the fridge! A wonderful stay, thank you!

Fantastic cottage in a fantastic rural location.

Thank you for such a lovely stay!

The cottage was everything we wanted, it was decorated beautifully and the surroundings were beautiful too!

We had a lovely short break and were made to feel very welcome.

The cottage had beautiful views in a quiet location which met our needs. The cottage was clean, comfortable and was fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. We slept really well. Whilst at the cottage we were lucky to see hares and deer. It was great base for our trips exploring Yorkshire.

We have stayed in lots of holiday lets over the years and this has been the best by far.

Very clean, very well equipped and furnished, even down to quirky toilet rolls

Excellent property, as described on the site.

Cottage is next to the farm house, but neither intrude on each other. Even if the cottage was isolated from the village the directions to the cottage are spot on. Nice to have that extra storage space of the boot room. Furniture and comfort first class. Very dog friendly. We loved the peace and watching the chickens every day even the dog bonded with them. The perfect place to relax.

We regularly stay at holiday cottages and this is one of the very best we have visited.

Lovely property, grade location, owners close by but not intrusive. Would highly recommend Low Grounds Cottage.

Absolutely fabulous!

Everything we needed and more. Well equipped in all aspects. Nespresso machine a big bonus for me. Excellent location and very homely feel. Massive boot room makes keeping dog & floors clean much easier. Personally I’d rather have chairs than a bench in the kitchen purely for back support but maybe space doesn’t allow. We will definitely return.

We had a fabulous week at Lower Grounds Cottage.

It was perfect for the two of us and our dog. The house was well presented, comfortable and homely with everything needed for a lovely self-catering holiday. The owners, Sarah and Fran, were welcoming and friendly, as were their dogs and chickens. We particularly loved the quiet, rural peace, and hare and bird spotting. And we enjoyed the face that the amazing Star Inn in Harome was in walking distance!

Low Grounds Cottage is in a beautiful setting and the facilities are perfect.

We had a wonderful time and were made so welcome. Sarah and Fran have made this a relaxing retreat where we were all able to unwind and recharge our batteries. Thank you so much - we will return. Jenny, Tony, Sonia, Rob and Murta - one very happy dog

The welcome package from Sarah and Fran was a lovely touch, the cottage was clean and had everything you could possibly need for your stay.

The location and views were absolutely stunning and would recommend low grounds cottage to all.

This was a lovely stay for our family.

We were made to feel very welcome and were in a lovely, safe feeling location which enabled the children to run around.

Amazing stay!

Such a lovely cottage in a peaceful setting. Absolutely recommend staying here. We had the most wonderful week with our dog. The cottage had everything and more.

We had a lovely time at the Low Ground Cottage, it is very comfortable and finished to a high standard in an idyllic location.

We had a great stay at Low Grounds, despite some wild weather from Storm Darragh.

Sarah was super-helpful and provided hot water and extra logs!! The cottage is lovely - comfortable and cosy - great bath! It’s in a great area, with plenty to do: we enjoyed visits to Malton, Helmsley, Scarborough (sea air + fish and chips) and Castle Howard. Would definitely recommend the property

What a fabulous cottage and Sarah was such a lovely host.

We had a lovely weekend in a beautiful area.

A lovely cottage, beautiful inside and the perfect location - a short drive to lovely Helmsley and beyond.

The owners are so welcoming, highly recommended

What a wonderfully warm welcome we received on our arrival.

The welcome gifts were much appreciated and sending us a message on route to say that we could access the property early enabled us to make really good use of our travelling day. Sarah also provided information regarding local shops so we could pick up some necessaries on the way. The owners were always available via text if we needed anything. The cottage was perfect for our Autumn getaway, comfortable, peaceful and well equipped. It was so nice to look out at the night time sky without surrounding light pollution to spoil the view. Breakfast time entertainment was provided on a daily basis by the free range chickens scampering headlong across the outdoor seating area.

Immaculate cottage with everything you need.

Everything is finished to a high standard. Comfortable beds. The boiler room could do with ventilation as the smell of fuel oil can become obtrusive. A word of warning for those with dogs, there are chickens roaming around the property.

The property had style but practicality was wanting.

The kitchen lacked cupboard space. The television reception was intermittent on some channels. Overall we had an enjoyable week and the location was bliss.

We had a wonderful 2 night stay and enjoyed our walk back from The Star (torch and walking boots advised) 2km.

Low Grounds had everything you need and thank you Sarah for prompt messaging and making us feel welcome. Paula and Stephen Cheshire

A stunning cottage on a farm with beautiful views in all directions.

Lots of wildlife on the doorstep. Very peaceful & relaxing stay, the cottage had everything we needed & more. We would definitely return.

Perfect hideaway in gorgeous countryside.

Ideal location for exploring the area. York and coast less than an hour away. Thank you.

Fran and Sarah were lovely , the welcome card and email before we arrived was such a lovely touch, along with milk and fresh eggs too.

The cottage was perfect , with everything we needed , perfect location for some lovely walks into the surrounding villages. We will definitely be booking a return stay - thankyou

Low Ground Cottage is a well set out and comfortable bungalow.

The 2 sofas are wonderful. As are the well equipped kitchen and the bathroom. The level of equipment in the cottage is of a high standard. It's outside space is enclosed and very quiet. It's well situated for easy access to many local attractions. Very much enjoyed our stay. And thank you for the obvious effort that is made to make that happen.

A fantastic cottage, very suitable for my elderly parents with mobility issues.

Comfortable, clean and quiet. Room to move around with a wheeled walker if mum needed it. The kitchen was also well equipped with everything we needed and the fresh eggs from the resident free range hens were delicious. We had a fantastic stay, Thankyou Fran and Sarah!

The cottage is located on a farm which is a mile from Harome and is an incredibly peaceful location.

The owners are nearby, very friendly and responded to our one query immediately. As described there are many wild creatures to spot including a levret which came to the kitchen door one morning, several white hens and across the fields we spotted a dozen or so hares roaming wild. The location was perfect for us for both walking and sight seeing. Walks from Hutton le Hole go well into the moors where the heather is blooming. Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay, Richmond, Fountains and Byland Abbeys are within an hours drive with Rievaulx on the doorstep. We won’t hesitate to book again. Thank you Sarah and Fran.

The cottage is beautifully decorated to a very high standard.

There is a fully equipped kitchen with everything you need to make a meal. The beds are comfortable with black out curtains in both rooms. The location is great, easy to travel around to other parts of Yorkshire. We went to Saltburn on sea, an hour away. Helmsley walled garden and the birds of prey centre were great. Scarborough, Pickering, Thornton le Dale, all accessible from here. The cottage was in a lovely spot, we saw hares, rabbits, buzzard, yellowhammer just sat in the garden. The owners are very friendly and approachable and we really appreciated the little treats left for us. We will definitely return.

We had a lovely week at Low Grounds, apart from the weather

We had a wonderful 10 days staying at Low Grounds cottage.

We spent many hours watching the hares in the paddock along with the partridges, rabbits, deer and not forgetting the chickens! The cottage was very comfortable with everything we needed supplied. Sarah is lovely and responded to any query very quickly. We visited Castle Howard, Nunnington Hall, Helmsley Walled Garden, RHS Harlow Carr, RSPB at Filey to see the puffins, Whitby (try the Woof and chips at the Magpie) and Grassington, there’s so much to see in the area. We had Sunday lunch at both the Star in the village and also at the Plough in Wombleton, both lovely. What a find this cottage was, we will definitely be back.

Lovely comfortable cosy cottage surrounded by beautiful countryside.

They have also planted the garden area with wildlife friendly plants. Great place to relax and unwind away from the hustle and bustle. We enjoyed spotting the hares in the fields on the drive up to the farm, watching the free range hens wandering around & bird spotting from the French doors in the kitchen. Sarah and husband were very welcoming and all communications we had were answered quickly. There is a lot to see in this area we particularly enjoyed Nunnington hall & Sutton bank visitor centre. Had a fabulous Sunday lunch at The Plough Inn Wombleton. Unfortunately didn’t sample many other restaurants in the area as we couldn’t get a table. So we would pre book a little more next time we come up this way. Overall a lovely holiday.

Fran and Sarah were great so friendly and helpful.

The cottage was a delight will look forward to going back again
