"Simply put, Holly Edge is a gorgeous cottage in an idyllic setting and perfect base for exploring the surrounding area."
On arrival the cottage was warm and welcoming and we instantly felt at ease, especially with the bottle of bubbly waiting for us! The cottage is well equipped and the quality of the fixtures and furnishing was excellent. The grounds are extensive and our dog just loved playing ball on the lawns, or saying hello to the horses that occasionally appeared in the field next door. The kitchen had all we needed and it was lovely to sit and eat out on the patio when the weather was nice.
We did have a little issue with the shower, but a quick call to the owners and they were there later that evening and sorted it out in no time. They could not have been more pleasant or helpful, thank you to them.
If we could make one suggestion to improve the cottage even more, it would be to put some privacy film on the bathroom windows. These are clear glass and it can feel a little "vulnerable" when the blind is not down!, that aside the owners really have a wonderful gem of a cottage that is comfortable, inviting and a wonderful place to spend the week in Yorkshire.

The reasons we keep returning are many - fantastic host, beautiful home which is lovely and clean and with everything you could need, fabulous garden and great location - lots of places to explore within 15mins drive. We have stayed in lots of different properties in many locations and this is definitely one of the best we have ever been to - we have already booked to return.

"The Bungalow is very comfortable and extremely clean with lovely views across the countryside, everything’s top quality."
The huge garden encircles the property and is safe for the dogs to be let off their Leads, It is a very quiet area with no traffic noise, we loved the size of the Bungalow and the layout with the rooms just flow through from end to end, it’s roughly 12 minutes to Guisborough where you will find numerous shops and Supermarkets and a nice town for a stroll,
Overall this place is superb and we loved our stay in fact my Wife was very sad to leave and we hopefully will return soon.
There was a problem with the TV signal but Karen the owner had a Professional Company out the next day and fitted a new system within an Hour , Marks out of 10 = 20 .

"The bungalow was perfect for us."
We can’t fault any of it. The Christmas decorations suited the property so well and it all felt very homely and cosy. My disabled son loved being able to access all of it by crawling. Our dog loved the garden and the sheep in the bottom field ran anytime he went near (he’s only a tiny Shih Tzu).
The bungalow was perfectly positioned for us and we look forward to staying there again, my son cried on the day left because he loved it so much

The accommodation was bright and spotlessly clean, with a lovely large kitchen and plenty of room throughout. There are comfy seating areas and comfy beds too. The thing that would make it absolutely perfect would be a king-size (or even super king-size) bed in the main bedroom – there’s definitely room for one and it’s so much nicer not to be too squished in bed!

"First of all I have to say this really is an outstanding cottage."
One of the best we have stayed in and we have stayed in many in the last 10 years or so. The cottage had everything we needed and the lovely bottle of Prosecco and card was a very nice touch, thank you Karen. The massive garden, which we referred to as our own private park is beautiful and our dog loved it. We were very lucky with the weather and was great to use the lovely garden furniture, the views are great too. The inside of the cottage is beautiful and very well decorated, really top notch furnishings, the lounge is really comfortable with a massive Smart TV with Netflix etc.. The kitchen had everything we needed, lovely and big with a very large fridge freezer, the dishwasher was great too! There is a very handy utility room with washer and dryer. The main bathroom was amazing, big , very well decorated and the shower, well what can I say it’s enormous with a fantastic rainfall and separate very powerful shower head. The bedrooms are lovely, 2 twins and a double. All beautifully furnished, big wardrobes with superior bed linen. The only criticism I have is the double bed, this to me seemed a small double and felt like I was sliding out of it. Neither me or my husband slept that well. A king size bed would fit in lovely (please :) ) I also think a hot tub would be great in the garden to relax and take in the amazing views ( please again :) ) Having said that we would most definitely return to this beautiful, peaceful cottage and area.

Kitchen is well equipped with large fridge and freezer as well as good utility space with washer and dryer. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, suitable for couples or for families sharing. Bathrooms are modern with good powerful showers. With gates closed the garden is secure for dogs.
The property is very peaceful and relaxing. It is close to some lovely beaches, some dog friendly like Skinningrove. Ideal for visiting Rievaulx Terrace, Helmsley, Runswick Bay, Robin Hoods Bay, Grosmont and Falling Foss Waterfall, to name a few. If visiting Scarborough it is worth a short detour to The Stained Glass Centre and tea rooms at Cayton.

On arrival my 17 year old told me I had outdone myself on picking Holly Edge. My OH told me it reminded him of his childhood. The other 3 children absolutely loved going to see the horses and watching the rabbits run across the back garden. Holly Edge was perfect for our big family. Enough room for everyone to have peace and quite when needed. Whitby was only a short drive away and Scarborough wasn't too far to get too either. There was so much to do that we could have easily stayed for 2 weeks. Definitely hope to return again. Lovely welcome gift of Prosecco, biscuits, flowers and tea and coffee.

"Holly Edge bungalow was a fantastic home for our four generations of family to stay in."
It was very spacious and we never felt as though we were living in each other’s pockets. On arrival the wow factor hit us even though we’ve had seen the photos. The bungalow was very clean with beautiful fittings and a kitchen to die for. A dishwasher which meant I never had to wash up, plus a washer and dryer which was great as I only took home clean washing. The garden was large and with the gates closed ensured the dog was safe plus our grandchild.
A thank you to Karen for the thoughtful biscuits, bottle of wine and lovely flowers though we had to leave those behind because of the pollen on them.
The location was in a lovely village with beautiful cottages and flowers in abundance in gardens and kerbsides. It was within driving distance of Whitby, Scarborough,Runswick Bay, garden centres and restaurants. Though I was surprised how quickly the restaurants filled up so think about booking as we had a few disappointments. Locally for a flat beach try Sandsend beach as we only drove through it on the last day and wish we had gone there.
There are no shops in the village so do go prepared, there is a Sainsbury’s on the road to Whitby with a restaurant The Stables where we had Sunday lunch which has lovely grounds around it.
This has been one of our best family holidays and would 100% recommend this bungalow.
