“Lovely area on a lovely farm enjoyed looking at all the animals and hens, great location owners were so nice and helpful”

“My wife and I stayed at Nora's Nook for a week at the start of August.”

Like others, we were pleased to find the complementary goodies (chocolates, milk, farm eggs, etc) as well as some treats for the dog. That was a nice touch. The accommodation was perfect for us, providing everything we needed apart from food, and we felt at home immediately. The owners were friendly without ever being intrusive. They even let our dog play with one of their's on the final evening. The location itself was great for exploring the North York Moors and its adjacent areas, but was set well away from the road and was quiet, perfect for relaxation and for those looking for a quiet break away from the humdrum of everyday ife. It's located on a working farm, so lots of animals and wildlife, with chickens and sheep roaming free. The dog loved them! A truly excellent holiday. Highly recommended. 5 stars out of 5 (at least).

“Yes it was a marvelous place , what a welcome we had and such a lovely place to be, wonderful weather and a fantastic area to be in.”

Norah Nook is so beautiful and comfortable. A peaceful retreat and fresh clean air, we took our little dog with us and the owners had left a packet of treats for her. a bottle of wine for us and a lovely bar of chocolate from Hutton le Hole chocolate factory, milk for tea coffee and biscuits. A very welcoming start to our Holiday. Just the ticket.

“The best dog and horse friendly accommodation around”

I came here last year with my horse, it was that good I couldn't wait to stay again with my husband and dogs. Needless to say, we were not disappointed. I can't recommend this place enough, fantastic cottages but more importantly we were made to feel welcome and you cant put a price on that. My husband absolutely loved our break and I am already booked in again in May with my horse. Thank you so much

“Norah's Nook was clean, cosy and comfortable.”

Over the years we've stayed in many self catering cottages and this is one of the best equipped. We found everything we needed in the cottage so we only needed clothes and food which makes things so much easier than rattling up the A1 with washing up liquid, toilet rolls and tin foil. We had dreadful weather but were warm with the heating on and enjoyed the log burner. Despite the weather there was plenty to keep us occupied and we found suitable walks, saw and heard lots of wildlife, though we would love to be there in the sunshine, make use of the sun beds and do the walks from the door. We enjoyed the hospitality, generosity and kindness of the owners and would love to return. This area is truly beautiful, full of history, stories, and excellent tea shops! The Easter weather this year certainly hasn't put us off. Oh, and the fresh farm eggs are absolutely delicious!

“Beautiful setting for a relaxing holiday.”

We booked both cottages for our family. Thank you for the little welcoming touches like eggs, chocolate, biscuits, milk & wine, so thoughtful! The chocolate from Hutton le Hole was so delicious we bought some to take home!

“Norah's nook review - go visit !”

We have just returned after a fabulous week here . This is probably our 6th or 7th visit and it suits us perfectly. Dave and Serita are great hosts who just carry on in the background but are always on hand to recommend a Pub for lunch or to find out what's on in the vicinity. Can't recommend this place enough.

“Perfect Winter Retreat”

We chose this cottage because it was recommended by friends. We were not disappointed! The drive to Norah's Nook takes you through classic Yorkshire countryside. The cottage is well appointed , clean and warm ( provided by the wood burner in the corner) and is located on a working farm which adds to the feeling of getting away from it all ! A perfect location for walking and really looking forward to coming back. Well worth a visit.

“Lovely Cottage in a Great Location”

My husband and I stayed here with our little dog in August and had a wonderful time. We were greeted by the owner on arrival, and found a welcome pack indoors, which included a local paper, milk and other essentials. The owner was very welcoming, told us everything we needed to know about the cottage and helped us with our suggested holiday itinerary - good places to eat, walks across the moors from our doorstep and other handy hints. The cottage is pretty outside, well decorated, very comfortable and clean, and the weather enabled us to make use of the two very comfy sun loungers on the patio outside! The cottage is well located for eating and drinking pubs with lots of pretty villages and towns nearby, such as Helmsley and Hutton le Hole. We really enjoyed our holiday and will definitely be back, thank you for sharing this little piece of paradise.
