“11 June 2021 I originally booked for 2 people and later added 2 further people and found to be of no problem and the owners very nice.”

We were given a nice greeting, and thanks for the welcome pack. The cottage was all we needed and accommodated the 4 of us very comfortably, in a very private and pretty setting. The village is very nice with many local walk and situated well for many attractions. Should we visit the area again we would hope to stay at the cottage. Many thanks Steve, Chris, Jethro and Reka

Mr Gledhill May 2021

“This is a great little cottage & well placed for visiting the local towns & coast.”

We were welcomed with a welcome pack & milk & a loaf of bread from the village bakery. The village has a good shop & a great bakery + cafe. There was only one slight drawback this cottage is situated in farming country & there is a far bit of agricultural traffic going along the road, it's not excessive but it is in the background. Great stay.

- Mr Gledhill, May 2021

“This is a lovely cottage in a lovely area.”

Jane (the owner) was friendly and welcoming. The cottage was immaculately clean. well-equipped and comfortable. There's plenty to see and do around this area (even in these strange times of Covid-19) and we had a really lovely and relaxing holiday. Would recommend this cottage.

Mr Sweeney August 2020

“At 92 years of age I have a wealth of experience of holiday cottages and I find it impossible to find fault with Waterside Cottage.”

Comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, spotlessly clean with good parking facilities. Welcome pack of bread, cakes and milk, Altogether a superb little property, The village of Hovingham is truly picturesque. All buildings of mellow, Yorkshire stone with a little stream running through the village. Bakery, local stores, tea rooms and hotels , all within very easy walking distance. A drive of less than 10 miles approx brings you to lovely market towns, eg Pickering, Malton, Helmsley( all with shops, cafes, market stalls, etc.) All well worth a quiet browse. A little farther afield is York and the coastal towns of Whitby, Scarborough, Bridlington and Filey. Waterside cottage is an excellent property and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

- Mr Sweeney, August 2020
Mr Simmons March 2020

“The place was super and very homely and cozy.”

The owner total marvelous and to find that there we also welcoming extra little things, such some milk in the fridge, a fresh loaf of bread from the local bakery, some nice cakes waiting for you when you arrived shows care and thought by an owner that cares and wants you to be comfortable and happy. I am only very sorry that we had to cut our stay short due to a family emergency.

“The cottage was in a good location.”

It allowed us to explore several local attractions which we had wished to visit, e.g. Castle Howard. The owners, who lived next door were pleasant and helpful.

- Mrs Coote, July 2019
Mr Batty June 2019

“A very comfortable cottage with very welcoming owners, set in a beautiful little village with good walks from the door.”

It is well positioned for visiting historic houses, castles, abbeys, the coast, moorland or for just pottering about exploring pretty villages or the attractions of York etc. Whatever you want, this area has it, in fact too much to write here, so do yourselves a favour and visit to see for yourselves, you won't be disappointed!

- Mr Batty, June 2019
Mrs South May 2019

“The little touches, such as a loaf of bread and milk provided.”

Well stocked with domestic needs such as kitchen foil, cling film, etc. Plenty of suggestions for places to explore, games, dvds, books etc. Recommendations for local shops, events such as monthly village market. Well provided accomodation, lacking nothing, including a warm and friendly owner.

- Mrs South, May 2019
Mr Newland March 2019

Mr Wilkinson February 2019

“A very homely and comfortable cottage which provides a great base for accessing the North York Moors and the nearby Howardian Hills.”

Hovingham is a beautiful village with a wonderful bakery and well stocked local store. Good local walks from the cottage too. All in all Waterside cottage exceeded our expectations and we’d definitely return if back in the area.

- Mr Wilkinson, February 2019
Miss Gale February 2019

“I absolutely loved my stay at Waterside Cottage.”

I was there on my own and I think it is the perfect size for 1 or 2 people. While it does sleep 4 people, I think it might be a bit small for a group of that size, especially in the kitchen. The lounge was so lovely and cosy. The bathroom was clean and, for that sort of cottage, the shower worked very well. The heating in the cottage was sometimes not particularly effective but you’d expect that for an old property. And the water heater is based in the double bedroom so it’s a little noisy in the night. Location wise, it was great. The village of Hovingham had everything you could possibly need - a couple of lovely cafes, a great pub and even a hairdresser/beauty place. I can also recommend the monthly market which I could have spent a fortune at. All in all a lovely stay - thanks to Jane for that, for letting me be flexible with my arrival time and for the lovely welcoming touches with some essential foods and cake.

- Miss Gale, February 2019
Mrs Fuller January 2019

Mrs Atkinson December 2018

“A beautiful cottage in a lovely village, the owner has thought of everything, even a small torch which we used when we went out in the evening as there are no street lights at all in this village.”

- Mrs Atkinson, December 2018
Mrs Hutt October 2018

“The peaceful and friendly setting of the cottage was perfect.”

Owner on hand if needed but not intrusive. A lovely, helpful range of welcome gestures.........a rose in each bedroom, milk in the fridge and cake under the cover in the kitchen, blankets and rugs everywhere ! Warm and cosy during very cold autumn weather. It's an excellent base for coast, country and town destinations. We walked along Sutton Bank with its panoramic views, visited several spectacular abbeys nearby and drove to the coast at Sandsend for bracing strolls. Helmsley is a few miles up the road with castle, parkland and a myriad of tea shops ! Nunnington Hall is a delightful National Trust property reached within a few minutes of the property which caters for all ages and interests. On the way back to Sheffield, we called into York to round off a holiday of brilliant variety. The village itself has a interesting church with a Saxon Tower and plenty of walks from the property, especially suitable for dogs.There are two excellent places to eat and a delicious bakery ! Hovingham has a quiet and friendly feel to it. We would definitely return in a different season to see the countryside in another aspect but the autumn colours were spectacular !

- Mrs Hutt, October 2018
Mr Mothersdale June 2018

“A lovely comfortable cottage in a lovely village.”

Good weather too! Hovingham is a good centre and the cottage was great to come back to after a day out walking etc. There are loads of walks to choose from and places to visit. The village bakery is only 100yds from the cottage and the Village shop (open all hours!) 200yds away. Couldn't be more convenient. Mrs Wainwright the owner lives next door and was friendly and helpful. This was our first experience of renting a cottage and we'll certainly do it again.

A welcome pack of milk in fridge, little loaf from the baker in the village in the bread bin and 3 nice slices of cake for us to have a cuppa when we arrived. The owner came in to see us and said if there was anything we needed to call at the house next door. There were flowers in the lounge and a little vase of sweet peas in the bedroom. A beautiful area to explore and a nice little pub to eat in just along the road.

- Mrs Fraser, August 2014
Mrs Witts June 2014

“Hovingham is a gem of a village, with a local shop, bakery and tea room, as well as the local inn.”
