Nell's Cottage

Nells cottage was just perfect.

Clean, comfortable and an all round great place to stay. Nothing was too much trouble for the owner Glenn , who had added some lovely finishing touches to make our stay more special. Just wish we could have stayed longer!!

This is a lovely cottage.

It has been designed specifically to suit disabled guests. My husband is a wheelchair user following a stroke and it was ideal for his needs. The owners had really thought of everything. The cottage is comfortably furnished, has a well equipped kitchen, a patio and an enclosed paved garden at the back. Parking is convenient and wheelchair accessible. The location was ideal for touring the area, Whitby, Malton, Pickering, the modern history museum at Eden Camp, York are all within easy distance. Although the cottage is little more than a few hundred yards from the A64, it has a comforting feeling of being isolated. The views are lovely and we had the best time with our little dog and the best weather the week of our stay. Highly recommended.

This was going to be a difficult visit for us having came here last year with our pet Beagle 'Alfie'.

Sadly he transitioned to doggy heaven in August 2025 so we had his energy and love with us as a memory on this visit. This was a peaceful relaxing stay which we endeavour to book again as soon as possible. Loved the chickens who became our adopted pets by the end of the week. The owners are brilliant!! Cheers guys.

A wonderful stay at Nell’s Cottage.

First time staying around this area, but certainly won’t be our last. The cottage was beautifully designed with attention to detail and equipped with everything you could possibly need. The views from the cottage were really quite spectacular. There was a lovely walk through the pine trees close by, which our little dog Alfie really enjoyed. Chickens roamed free around the extensive grounds and I have to say provided us with the best eggs we’ve ever had in our welcome pack. Glen the owner was friendly, helpful and was on hand should we need him. Thank you for such a wonderful and relaxing stay, we cannot wait to return.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First-Class Stay at Nell’s Cottage – A True Home from Home This was our third visit to the complex and our second stay at Nell’s Cottage, and once again it delivered an absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish.

It’s rare to find somewhere that not only maintains standards across multiple visits but genuinely feels even better each time—and Nell’s Cottage does exactly that. From the moment we arrived, it was clear why we were so keen to return. The cottage is beautifully presented, immaculately clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing break. The attention to detail is exceptional, striking that perfect balance between cosy charm and modern comfort. It really does feel like a true home from home. The setting within the complex is peaceful and idyllic, providing the perfect base to unwind while still being ideally situated for exploring the North York Moors and the surrounding coast. Having now stayed within the complex three times, we can confidently say it offers a level of consistency and quality that’s hard to match. Nell’s Cottage itself stood out once again for its warm, welcoming atmosphere. The décor is tasteful and inviting, and the living spaces are designed with comfort in mind—perfect for relaxing evenings after a day out. The kitchen is well-equipped for self-catering, and every space feels carefully considered to ensure guests have a stress-free stay. What really makes this place special is the sense of care and pride that clearly goes into maintaining both the cottage and the wider complex. Everything is kept to a superb standard, and it genuinely enhances the whole experience. Having now returned for a second stay in Nell’s Cottage, it’s safe to say it will not be our last. It’s become a firm favourite for us, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality, peaceful retreat in a beautiful part of the country. Already looking forward to visit number four!

Great place to stay.

The accommodation is really well maintained to a high spec, and so clean and homely, it’s a great retreat to help make the holiday so relaxing and enjoyable. Second year we have stayed here, and already booked for next year!

A lovely modern , well equipped holiday stay.

Well positioned to visit local attractions, close to Malton.Very comfortable. Attentive and generous owner.Would highly recommend .

Fantastic find on Sykes.

We were looking for a one bedroom cottage that was dog friendly but had a bit of luxury and we found this with Nell’s cottage. From walking in the door , the peaceful location. Decor, comfortable bed , seating area and well equipped kitchen couldn’t have asked for more. The welcome basket was outstanding and very much appreciated. Local areas to visit were many and need to go back to do lots more exploring.

Beautiful cottage, lovely surroundings, dog friendly, stayed in one of the other cottages last year, would definitely recommend.

Nels cottage was amazing!

.The only thing that let it down slightly was no where to put shower gel shampoo etc in the wet room and the small bath mat! Having said this, would not stop us booking again and recommending it to family and friends. The special touch of the Christmas tree was so thoughtful and so was the amazing welcome basket.Thankyou.The cottage is situated in beautiful surroundings and was very quiet. The decor, fixtures and fittings was of high speck,attention to detail was a 100%, Having not met the owners they was on hand should you need and only a phone call away. We give this cottage 5 stars and well worth a stay.Thanks so much jayne, & Keith.

5 star accommodation.

Loved everything about it felt at home from 1st minute. All fixtures and fittings top quality. Location perfect for accessing coast and country. Glenn great host will definitely be back. Don't hesitate to book.

Absolutely stunning cottage, the pictures do not do it justice.

The owner was on hand and happy to answer any query’s. Totally recommend The Dawnay Arms for food.

Nells cottage is such a beautiful place to relax and enjoy wonderful countryside.

The cottage interior is amazing and inspiring and everything you possibly need to enjoy your stay.A fantastic welcome from Glenn on arrival making this a special break for us with our Lurcher Ava.

Could not fault great location modern cottage would stop again

We had lovely time.

And so did the dogs. Owners really nice and helpful. Nice location with plenty see and do in the surrounding areas. Would be happy to stay again.

A lovely stay in a quality cottage.

A peaceful setting with plenty of usable open space. Good facilities and well maintained. The owner was extremely helpful when required. The only suggestion would be to fit the toilet roll holder on the wall rather than have it sitting on the high level shelf. We would recommend this holiday home in a great location for exploring the whole of the North York Moors and surrounding area

Really lovely stay at Nell’s cottage , lovely spot for visiting the area, really friendly owner, well equipped with nearly everything you needed, little tips for next guests (bath mats, and somewhere to put your shower gel or soap whilst in the shower ) we managed but those things would have been helpful :) could do with something to catch all the flies , just part of being on farm type land etc, the Cottage has all been done to a high standard in beautiful surroundings , thanks for a lovely stay, would definitely return , thank you so much.

We've stayed in many luxury cottages over the past 30 years and also stayed in some disgraces that shouldn't be allowed to stay in.

This for us and our beagle is the best place to date we've stayed in, due to views, comfort and well equipped kitchen. If my arm was twisted to find the smallest issue for improvement, Id recommend relocating the manure storage as I feel this is causing an increased amount of flies. That said, you get flies on every farm. We've already booked again for next year. Thank you again. P.S The superking bed is the most luxurious bed ever!!!

A beautiful well equipped clean cottage.

Peaceful and quiet. Great owner Glen who is very approachable and helpful without being intrusive in any way. A relaxed stay

Great location,ideal for exploring nearby villages.

Lovely and clean and high quality furnishings. Great views from the front patio area and the rear is very private and a nice suntrap. Overall a great place to stay and highly recommended

Nell’s Cottage is well equipped, very comfortable sofa and bed.

Large fridge freezer. WiFi not too bad for a rural location but 5G available also. Excellent location for trips to the coast and national park. Supermarkets 15 minutes away. Recommended.

Great property and great location!

Already booked again for next year!

Wonderful Property, really well maintained and cleanliness was superb.

Fully functional kitchen with every thing you will ever need if cooking and the welcome pack was so lovely. We will definitely stay again when heading that way x

We stayed here over the Easter holiday weekend.

The cottage was very clean and had pretty much everything we needed. It’s tastefully decorated and the furniture in the property was good quality. On arrival there was calming music playing and calming scents. There was also a nice welcome basket with crisps, biscuits, wine and eggs provided. There’s a small patio off the living room which can be accessed by patio doors and has nice views of the grounds and countryside and gets morning sun. The larger rear patio is accessed from a gate to the side of the cottage, it doesn’t have any views but it’s fully enclosed and private so makes a nice little sun trap as it gets sun most of the day. If I could nit pick, I would say there a few minor areas that could be improved: - there’s no curtain or blind covering the living room patio door, and as there’s a gap in the partition wall between the the living room and the bedroom so light gets in the bedroom. I was woken up by the light around 5:30am which was annoying as I’d like to have slept later - there are plenty of plug sockets, but there weren’t any that I could see near the sofa or bedside cabinets - the wet room got really wet, (I get it, that’s what it’s for) but the small glass partition in the shower area didn’t stop the shower water splashing everywhere, so the bathmat got soaked after each use - I’m aiming high with this suggestion… as the back patio is private, sizeable, appears to have power supply and gets a decent amount of sun…this would be an ideal spot for a hot tub and/or maybe a built in BBQ Overall we had a lovely relaxing stay and the comms from Glenn pre our stay and during our stay were great and made us feel welcome. We would definitely return.

We had a wonderful stay at Nell's Cottage.

Everything was lovely and clean and very comfortable. We would highly recommend a stay at one of the cottages.

We had a fantastic week at Nell's Cottage.

The cottage was beautifully renovated, well-equipped and spotlessly clean, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay with our pup. The owner, Glenn, was very friendly and on hand when we had a query but otherwise kept a discrete distance. The area was lovely and within easy reach for all our dog-walking priorities - forest paths and beaches. We will definitely return and recommend to friends and family. Tracey, Gary and Remy the BT puppy.

The property was just perfect.

Very cosy Lovely conversion of a old cowshed. Bright and beautiful.Lovely and clean . Everything you could need . Lovely welcome on arrival . Loved so much we have booked again. Our dogs were so settled. A gem to relax in . Owners are

Bells cottage was a delight,beautifully renovated,great birds and very friendly owners.

I very much recommend this property.

Owners responded to questions really quickly.

Perhaps a curtain should be fitted on the Patio windows as it’s a bit like living in a Gold Fish bowl at nighttime with no privacy. Would also help retain the heat in the room. Could do with a long handled Squeezy In the Bathroom to wipe the floor over after having a shower. The glass side is not quite long enough to to protect the floor from getting very wet around the bathroom when having a shower, the hand held squeezy is difficult to use. Needs a chair or access to a mirror with a seat for ladies to apply make up & dry their hair. Would stay again

Our 4 night stay at Nell's cottage was fabulous.

We had a wonderful warm welcome on our arrival. There was music playing, lamps were lit and there was a lovely welcome basket of goodies including fresh laid eggs, wine and biscuits. The interior decor of the cottage was outstanding and everything had been thought of. The huge super king sized was amazing!! The surrounding area of the cottage was so peaceful and it was lovely to watch the owner's pony in it's paddock in front of the cottages. I would definitely recommend Nell's cottage as it was only 15 miles from the coastal towns of Filey and Scarborough or inland to one of the many towns and villages of North Yorkshire. A bonus was being able to take our young dog who loved it and felt very settled away from home. We will definitely return to Nell's Cottage knowing that we will have a very relaxing time. Glenn, the owner, was in contact if there was anything you needed, as their amazing farmhouse was next to the cottages.

What an absolute gem of a cottage loved it would definitely recommend and hopefully return

Had a wonderful 5 nights here with our 2 dogs, was a lovely location and the cottage was perfect!

Will definitely book again!

We stayed for 4 nights over New Year with our two dogs.

We were very impressed by the quality of the accommodation, the attention to detail, the quality of all the facilities and the thought and care that had been taken over all aspects. Location was ideal for us with lots of interesting locations within striking distance, with space and peace also. Would definitely recommend.

What a fantastic cottage , 5 stars in every way , we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday , great luxurious cottage and a great host

Very comfortable cottage with all amenities , excellent kitchen and bathroom, very comfortable bed and within easy reach of local attractions .

Would stay again in the future.

We had a lovely 4 night stay.

The cottage was in a good position with plenty of places to visit nearby.

We really enjoyed the views from the cottage over the Vale of Pickering. The owner was friendly and helpful. The accommodation comfortable and well designed. The photos on the website accurately reflected the interior of the cottage.

Lovely cottage in great surroundings, owners have done a great job and must have worked super hard to complete such a great conversion.

Comfortable, well equipped cottage.

The owners have done a great job with Nell's cottage, it is well equipped and very comfortable. The decor is 1st class and the bed is very comfortable. Having patios at front and rear of property means you can catch the sun all day. The patios have fencing and gates so are secure for dogs. There are lovely views over surrounding countryside and is in a convenient location for days out to coast or country. The owners are friendly and helpful. Will definitely be paying another visit. Thanks.

Lovely cottage easy parking ,quiet location,nice views and owner Glen very helpful.

Can recommend.

What a great place.

Good location. Excellent property
