• "We find this property is in a great location for dog walks."

  Its just outside Whitby, but not too far, it is within walking distance. The property has two bedrooms and two bathrooms which we like. We found it clean and tidy inside, with comfortable beds and furniture. The only problem we had was the bin had been damaged and was broken and both shower trays were loose, which I did not realise until my shampoo bottle fell off and broke. There is a lovely butchers shop in the next village, also within walking distance. Would definitely recommend

• "Everything in the cottage was first class!"

  However we have two small dogs and I think one of them might have been able to escape at the bottom of the gates or fence. If some chicken wire or similar was put at the bottom of gate and fence we’d have been able to sit outside with the dogs running free. Just a thought.

  Would have been nice if it was decorated for Christmas! A small tree which we needed to get batteries for the lights. Kitchen bin broken and needs a lid and washing up drainer rusty.

• "The property was brilliant but there were a couple of issues although not major could do with sorting."

  The toilet seat in one of the bathrooms was loose, the bin lid in the kitchen was broken and the back kept falling off the remote control. As I said nothing major but annoying nonetheless

  That said, it is still a comfy environment with everything you could possibly need. It’s location is ideal for Whitby and other locations.

• "We stayed at the cartwheel cottage for a week."

  There was coffee, thee and really good biscuits waiting for us. What a beautiful cottage. Its got everything you could possibly want. Comfy beds, fully equipped kitchen, underfloor heating ect. I just loved the rain shower. We had a problem with the wifi one morning and Dave came over and resolved the problem. Our Beagle could go outside when needed as there is a good size garden with gate where you also can park the car. We had some lovely walks in nearby villages. Supermarkets just 5 minutes drive away. The only thing we could not get used to was the traffic next to the cottage. Its a very busy road. Apart from that we can't fault the cottage itself. We loved staying there and would recommend it to everyone. We hope we can come over from Belgium again in the future.

• "We have just returned home from a weeks stay at Cartwheel Cottage, Broadings Farm in Whitby."

  What a wonderful stay we had. The site is beautiful, extremely clean, and surprisingly quiet for the amount of guests staying. Our cottage was absolutely amazing. Beautifully clean, with everything we needed. Fully equipped kitchen, dishwasher, large fridge freezer and washing machine. The two bedrooms were both en-suite bathrooms. Full fee standing shower and huge bathtub! Shower was fabulous, and never short of hot water! Bedding and towels were provided and were crisp, clean and fresh. There was a very good size patio to the outside, which we spent many a night playing games and watching the sun set. The views are wonderful! The lady (apologies I didn’t get your name) who looked after the property, was absolutely lovely, nothing was too much trouble! We love Whitby and the surrounding areas, and Broadings Farm is an ideal location. Park and ride into Whitby is literally at the top of the road, less than 5 minutes drive away, and is so efficient and cost effective! Highly recommended. Dog friendly, we had two dogs with us, and there was two lovely large fields which weren’t occupied by caravans etc where we could take them for their final nightly walks. Whilst Broadings Farm is situated on a busy road, and the cottage we stayed in was right on the main road, the traffic didn’t bother us at all. We are booking again for next year, we have found our forever home from home at Broadings Farm! Absolutely superb! Thank you for making our holiday wonderful xx

  Fully equipped its got everything needed . The bathrooms are well set out and modern , the showers are really nice . Beds are very comfy . Cottage is close to main road but was not an issue with us even though we had the window open slightly . Kitchen had all the mod cons.We met Dave the owner of the cottages he stayed and had a cuppa with us after he resolved a small matter (our fault) . Dave is a really nice guy . We would recommend this lovely cottage to all.

  We’ve always stopped in abbey view but the cost just went to high when you can stop in the other cottages which are almost identical. Only complaints this year,a large amount of dust and dog hairs under the double bead,a broken toilet seat in the twin bed bedroom,also a broken bulb above the bed.The settee has seen better days or just needs a good clean. I’m sure we will book again.

• "These cottages at broadings farm are lovely."

  We have stayed here in different cottages three times, we have been spoilt to go anywhere else on holiday. They have a lovely welcoming coffee, tea and sugar and biscuits for your arrival. Beautifully laid out the accommodation, dishwasher, washer, microwave, cooker, fridge and freezer, a smart tv, shower or bath, etc. The bed was lovely and comfortable. An enclosed garden good for an average dog . A lovely field to walk your dog on close by. I would highly recommend this cottage and the others. A perfect getaway and maybe lucky with the weather.

  All enjoyed this lovely, comfortable accommodation including both our dogs. The site is easily accessible to the town and many coastal resorts around Whitby. The accommodation had most of what we required in terms of equipment. Salt and Pepper pots were empty and no condiments but everything else great. Will certainly return.

  Located in a quiet & very scenic spot. The only and small thing is that there is no lighting when walking/arriving back at the cottage at night time . Used my phone torch to see where we were walking. Overall I would reccomend this site & have done so. Stayed here a few times now.

  Se have been before and this was our third visit, however this time we were with friends and they were impressed with the cottage. We were unable to get the T.V. to work and after trying to resolve the problem ourselves we had to resort to reporting the problem to reception. Within just a few minutes a gentleman arrived and solved the problem. What was it , dead batteries in the remote control. All in all excellent service.

  Cottage nicely fitted out & clean everything you need for a great holiday. Cottage next to park & ride so easy to use, really handy to reach most places. We met the owners, always keeping the areas clean and tidy, lovely people. We had a fantastic holiday especially with the weather being great, 7 days of sunshine. Perhaps as a feedback note, a patio umbrella would have been nice as the cottage patio gets the sun all day and until late evening, perfect for dining outside. Thank you.

• "Overall we had a good holiday having never visited the area before, and despite variable February weather."

  The cottage was generally comfortable with all mod cons and lovely open views. Down sides were tv very high on the wall so that you get a neck ache watching it and the main reason I couldn’t recommend it really, and wouldn’t rebook is because it lies about 5m away from a main coastal A road into Whitby carrying heavy traffic from 5am. You can feel the traffic rumbling past your head as you lie in bed. rural idyl it is not I’m afraid. Better signposting to the cottage within the farm would be helpful, as there are many houses and cottages there.

  We did find the traffic from the main road very noisy though, especially when we opened the patio door. It wasn’t pleasant sitting outside for the same reason. However it was much quieter during the night & didn’t affect our sleep. The cottage itself is lovely & all positive apart from the TV being so high on the wall & the settee being so close, you end up having to look up which isn’t very comfortable.

• "The noise from traffic was horrendous from 5."

  30 am to 11.00 pm. It was impossible for this reason to relax in the garden area, and we should have been notified of the close proximity of the road before booking. The cottage had dog hairs and dust under the furniture in all rooms. I had to pull out the drain plug in the shower as it was nearly overflowing to allow the water to run away, it was clogged up with hair and residue. The sofa was uncomfortable when viewing the tv which was above the fireplace.The bedding was clean, decor nice.

  Thank you for your feedback. There is a map on the website that shows the proximity of the property to the road and we are sorry that you missed this. It is also a shame that you did not contact us regarding any issues with cleaning as we are next door and on hand to assist all guests as soon as we can. Property Owner

• "The listing describes the cottage as “idyllic”."

  The definition of this includes ‘peaceful’ which definitely cannot be attributed to a cottage located 3.0m from the A171, the major unrestricted trunk road to and from Whitby! Though the cottage was nice the noise from this road is horrendous, with huge articulated lorries thundering past at all hours and motorcycles zooming up and down as though they are in moto GP. This road is not mentioned at at all in the property description and if it had we would not have booked it. It also does not show in any of the photographs. We believe that this is a deception and if it was closer to home we would have left after one night and asked for a full refund. The location and the traffic cannot be altered but the listing should be more honest. It’s not what we expect from a well known cottage company. VERY disappointed!
