Dairy House

Brilliant week at this cottage.

Very clean and comfortable. Everything we needed was there. Situated centrally to many tourist hot spots and very quiet in the evenings to wander the footpaths.

we had a lovely time staying at the Dairy house it is in a lovely village.

Down side to it there was no gate at both ends of the garden so our Yorkshire terrier had to be kept on her lead when in the garden. but we had a lovely time here. Thank you

Dairy House is wonderfully idyllic, a truly stunning house.

A home from home experience, we felt very comfortable there. Dairy House is situated by green fields and countryside which makes for a lovely quiet peaceful stay. It's also in an ideal place for exploring other attractions, we went to York and Flamingo land, Whitby and Pickering, all less than an hours drive away. We will definitely be booking a stay there again.

The property filled our needs adequately; it was nice and quiet in a village but also had a feeling of being on a farm.

For our needs it was what we wanted convenient to the places we wanted to visit.

Firstly we had a great stay in a lovely,friendly and quiet village of Newton on Rawcliffe.

It was great to be able to do a morning walk around the village and spot the steam train arriving and departing like clock work at Levisham station from a great view point behind the pub on the public footpath. There was also a small local playground in the village -well equipped for the youngsters. It is only a 10min short drive to Pickering and the local food shops. From Pickering ,it was a good hub to travel to Scarborough and other coastal attractions Eden Camp, National trust at Nunnington, and Ryedale Folk Museum, Hutton Le Hole village and Thornton le dale with nice icecream. It was great to have plenty of cutlery and it was a well equipped kitchen. It was enjoyable to able to have a log fire on the occasional cold April nights. We would not hesitate to book again in the future.

Another lovely week in Dairy House.

We love it.

Nice property and clean tidy set well and well equipped.

The front room struggled to keep warm without wood burner which was something I didn’t want to make, clean and buy fuel for when on holiday. Super property for warmer months.

We had a lovely time in the Dairy House.

It's a bit of a quirky cottage. Bigger than we expected and extremely well equipped. The log fire's surround is definitely a talking piece. All the wooden beams give it a lot of character. One of the nicest cottages we have stayed in.

An outstanding property in a fabulous village, great for dog walking locally.

Very comfortable and homely with a really well equipped kitchen. We really wanted to light the log burner but the property is so well insulated that it would have been too hot. We especially loved the lounge, so cosy and full of character.

The pictures don't do the cottage sitting room and kitchen justice.

They look smaller in the pictures than they are. We used the two double rooms, which were very comfy. The whole house was nicely cleaned. There's some very interesting decor to enjoy. Lots of helpful information of where to go. It wasn't a problem with no gate on the garden, because our dog is use to being on his lead.

Lovely spacious comfy peacefully quiet local pub very friendly

Lovely property in a super location just outside of Pickering and great communication from the owners.

Really comfortable stay.

Had a lovely stay at Dairy House.

Perfectly suited to all generations with my 3 year old loving the toybox and it's contents. We had lovely weather so made use of the garden and had a couple of barbecues. Ideal location for exploring the North York Moors and coastal areas. It was also a bonus to have the little playpark so nearby. We would definitely be happy to stay at Dairy House again.

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful setting.

The owners could not do enough to ensure we had the most comfortable stay. A real home from home with everything you could possibly need. Even a toy box full of toys for when our son got bored of the few we bought with him.

Many thanks to Mary and Martin for providing such wonderful accommodation.

Everything was just about perfect. The Dairy House is an interesting and unusual holiday cottage. We especially liked the comfortable lounge with the amazing high roof and gallery above. The spacious kitchen/diner was great for mealtimes. We were grateful for the Botham's voucher, which we put to good use. The village is very attractive and there are fine walks close by. The pub is conveniently situated a few doors away and we had been looking forward to patronising it. However, it was not open at all during our 3 night stay, including a weekend, even though the hours posted outside the pub and on it's website said that it should have been. Clearly unreliable. We had a brilliant short break and highly recommend this cottage.

The cottage is in a lovely village only 4 miles from Pickering and in a farm setting located in the centre village centre with pub just up the road.

The cottage is very comfortable and has all you need to self cater. The front garden is an added bonus. We had a lovely time exploring the area of the North York moors and enjoyed the cottage.

The Dairy House .

. what a fabulous home - don’t change anything !

We really enjoyed our stay at the Dairy House.

Location and parking are easy, the road from Pickering is quick and straight forward so can pop into town without much fuss if needed. Lots of local walks which our dog loved. The house itself is great as the utility room really takes the stress out of coming back from a walk with muddy shoes. Very well stocked throughout from cleaning supplies to kitchenware. The upstairs is not the most friendly towards tall people, unlike the rest of the house which is. The door frames to the upstairs bedroom and bathroom are quite low and you need to remember to duck. This is just a period feature of the house and others in the area looked much lower throughout. I would suggest taking the downstairs bedroom instead if above 5”10 to save your head. If I was to improve two things, 1) it would be potentially hanging the mirrors a little higher so they are more tall people friendly in the upstairs bedroom and bathroom; over the towel rain in the bathroom would be great. 2) add a desk fan to sit on top of the chest of drawers in the upstairs bedroom to circulate air at night as the only way to get the room dark is to close the door which can make the room a bit stuffy in hot weather. These were minor things in the grand scheme of things. The house is comfortable overall, especially the livingroom and kitchen.

Dairy House is an excellent rental property - comfortable, spacious, clean and well resourced.

The location is good for access to walks on the North York Moors, Yorkshire coast, NT properties and the iconic steam railway. We would certainly consider returning to Dairy House in the future.

A cosy well equipped cottage Lovely for drinks in the garden Walks from here very well signed Village's to visit for a good day out

Lovely cottage!

We had a fab time. Only minor negatives were no welcome pack with teabags, milk etc which we usually get in holiday cottages, no spare bin bags and no foil/clingfilm which would have been useful.

A lovely cottage in a great location.

Generally no complaints except, the single bedroom is really dated. The bed is in need of a new mattress as it sags in the middle, and it’s a tired looking room. Also the garden has no gate, which I had missed in the description, so you need to be aware of this. Well equipped kitchen if you want to cook, we didn’t, but it would have been easy to do so. Great utility room with washer and drier The owner had contacted me a week before which was a nice touch. Overall a great stay in a great location

Cleverly converted farm building with everything you need for an active or inactive holiday!

The utility/boot room was ideal for cleaning a wet dog, mucky boots and especially good clothes drying facilities. Warm and plenty of seating and space - a bit of a tardis really, looks smaller from outside but it isn't at all. Lots of interesting walks on the doorstep with plenty of information provided. Our dog had a fantastic time. A good value stay in mid March. Only slight niggle was that the sofa cushions are a little tired and thinning, which became noticeable of an evening. Overall a very good, well equipped place to stay to explore this area of the North Yorkshire Moors. We will certainly stay here again.

excellent stay in an excellent cottage - everything we needed and very comfy too - will be back!

Lovely, comfortable, quirky, well stocked cottage in a lovely area.

Highly recommended and we would 100% stay again

This property is amazing.

Warm, cosy and well equipped. Lovely spot for walks and visiting the area. We would love to visit again and recommend highly x

What a beautiful place to stay.

Dairy House is charming, clean, comfortable and in a great location. We had a wonderful week away. You can tell that’s it’s a property that is loved by the owners and that they want their guests to feel at home for the duration of their stay. The location is great for getting out and about, whether driving or walking. The communication from Mary was clear and precise. Having a call from Christine whilst we were there, making sure that we had all that we needed was very much appreciated. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend booking.

The property had everything you would require, and was a first class base for accessing other places of interest.

The house is in a lovely quiet area. Our only minor observation is that the shower in the upstairs bathroom could be improved. However this did not detract in anyway from our very enjoyable holiday. Thanks to Mary for keeping in touch.

It is easily one of the best cottages we have ever stayed in.

Everything one could possibly need was there, we cannot fault anything.

Lovely setting, and delightful property, ideal for our needs.

The downstairs bedrooms were ideal for myself and my husband, because of my disabilities. Very peaceful.

A lovely comfortable place to stay.

Would recommend to others. Lovely little village near to the North Yorkshire Moors.

The Cottage was lovely.

The only thing we would change is the dining table which was only a gateleg and consequently uncomfortable. Trying to avoid the huge wooden structure in the centre and the legs at either end in the middle was impossible. Also, it would have been better if there was an alternative lightweight cover for the bed as the quilt was very hot. Even so, we enjoyed our stay very much.

Our week at the cottage was very good.

It is comfortable and well furnished. The village is lovely and the pub serves excellent food Friday, Saturday and Sunday to eat in or take away. It’s only 4 miles from Pickering but we were unlucky as roadworks caused a lengthy diversion. Fresh flowers and a bottle of wine made a lovely welcome gift. Lovely walks around the village as well.

Lovely cottage it is bigger on the inside than it looks, Very clean and well kept with all the needed amenities.

The only minor fault is that the garden is not enclosed for our dog which could be rectified with a fence an gate otherwise it could not be faulted. Enjoyable watching the horses train in the nearby paddock from the living room window.

Dairy House was cosy, surprisingly spacious and well- equipped.

Lots of plus points: log fire and generous basket of logs, secure bike store (for 2 bikes), quite a good selection of books / DVDs / games provided, location on the edge of the North York Moors near Pickering, Helmsley, Dalby Forest, Whitby, Robin Hood's Bay, Scarborough and other places on the coast, village playground with zip wire and football pitch (in March the tennis net was down and the pitch was too muddy anyway for tennis), village pub. Everything went smoothly with Sykes: booking, payment, cottage instructions etc. Cottage owners were great and made a courtesy phone call to confirm details and sent us useful extra information about the cottage and local area. We even had a call from the local contact for the cottage after we'd arrived to check everything was ok. The complimentary bottle of wine was a nice touch. Highly recommended.

The house was excellent, meeting all our needs.

And with style!

This is a very cosy and comfortable cottage.

Mary and Ann made us feel very welcome. The bed we slept in upstairs was very comfortable. Lovely garden to sit in. Peaceful surroundings. Plenty of nice walks and places to visit. Our dog loved it too - none of us wanted to leave.

I was particularly impressed to find that the owners had supplied replacement appliances for the kitchen in case of failure.

We managed to break the kettle switch, rang the Cleaner, and were guided to a 'secret' cupboard containing replacements. Absolutely marvellous service!

Cosy comfortable cottage.

Everything available for our needs. The directions and key collection very good. Would not hesitate in returning to this property if in that area again.

A wonderful cottage, cosy yet spacious and very well located for trips around North Yorkshire, plus an excellent pub in walking distance.

We really enjoyed our time in the Dairy House!

Relaxed atmosphere, great area

Well located property which we really enjoyed.

Comfortable and clean great to have dishwasher and other amenities. Would recommend with 4 or more adults that upstairs bath has screen fitted and wall holder for additional shower. Otherwise very comfortable

Lovely cottage in a lovely village and a very nice helpful owner.

Despite the weather we really enjoyed our stay.

The Dairy House is a lovely place to stay.

It is very spacious and comfortable. The house is spotlessly clean and very welcoming. It is set in a quiet location next to a farm, and the surrounding scenery is beautiful. It has a lovely homely feel and is very well equipped. There is a downstairs bedroom and shower room which are very handy for disabled guests. There is a friendly pub nearby which serves good food. The owner is very helpful, as is the lady who looks after the place. Nothing is too much trouble, and a lot of thought has gone into making this house a real home from home. I would highly recommend Dairy House and would definitely stay there again.

Lovely cottage, plenty of space, very quiet setting, local pub just a few yards away and served lovely food, and very friendly.

A short drive to Pickering and about 45mins to the coast. Cottage was very well equipped and has a real fire to light on cold nights. Would recommend for a quiet break or a base to explore. Beautifully kept.

The most beautiful cottage and location we've ever stayed at.

The children loved it,my husband and I didn't want to come home! So much to do in the local area and the views were amazing. Definitely recommend to friends and family and we can't wait to go again!
