Would love to return!

“Unfortunately having previously spent a week at a different cottage in Yorkshire we were really disappointed with our Nafferton cottage to the extent we came home a day early.”

The sleeping arrangements were absolutely fine but there wasn't enough comfortable seating in the lounge for us all to watch a film together. 1 adult and 2 children squashed on the sofa wasn't ideal. The main issue for us was the kitchen and bathroom which had a damp musty smell. We appreciate it is an old cottage but the bathroom needs some attention. The enamel in places was chipped on the roll top bath and we couldn't use the shower in fear of the shower curtain sticking to us....in current Covid times this concerned us. When you flushed the toilet, drops of water would often spill over from the cistern above. I appreciate it is an old style toilet but I wouldn't expect that. We were also unable to open the downstairs front windows to allow air to circulate. Another area needing some TLC is the garden, it could be such a lovely sanctuary to sit out in but alas we couldn't. All in all I felt the cottage overpriced for what was on offer. It could be such a lovely place.

“We booked the cottage as a stop-gap between house moves.”

The hosts were very accommodating, allowing us to squeeze an extra dog into the cottage. Living room is very cosy with the log burner a great addition! It is also next door to the local shop which is convenient, and is a stone's throw away from Petros at The Cross Keys - a place well worth visiting for food! As the cottage is c.1700's, the door frames are a little on the low side - as to be expected - so mind your head if you're tall! Overall we had a very pleasant stay.

“Cosy Cottage”

This cottage was lovely and clean and so cosy. Has everything you need. Shopkeepers next door very friendly and Sunday lunch at the Bluebell Inn was lovely. Theres a quaint duck pond at the end of the street. Its 15 mins to Bridlington for a lovely walk by the sea. Only downside for me as I have walking difficulties was the two high steps into the cottage and the ba The room being downstairs but I managed. The cottage was so beautifully decorated with a lovely Christmas Tree. Thanks to Alison & Rob. Would definitely go again sometime.

“Lovely cosy cottage.”

Very clean and has everything you need. Only thing for me as I have walking difficulties was the 2 large front steps and I didnt realize the bathroom was downstairs but I managed. Overall a great experience and owners very helpful and check on you while your there.

“Very disappointed there was no logs or kindling to light fire considering the price and it was December and very cold would not put us off going again but think we would think again about going in winter as no point having a fire if you can't use it no information where to get logs from.”

“The Old Cottage at Nafferton is a lovely property.”

Very quirky and cosy. The garden is secure so perfect for letting the dogs out. It was a perfect size for me, my husband and our two jack Russell’s. The cottage can technically sleep 4 but it might be a tight squeeze for 4 adults, you could get away with children. The cottage has every facility you could ask for including a smart TV which was brilliant after days out at the beach and shopping. Nafferton is a great location for visiting lots of places such as Bridlington, Malton and even further afield is you wished. We would definitely return for another short break we felt very at home.

“Very nice indeed.”

We have just got home from here and we found it to be just right for the 2 of us and a dog .. you may find 4 people is a little too cosy. Clean and tidy with a nice little garden for the dog. Stacks of parking space in the road and right next door to a little Londis so you will never run out of anything. Easy driving to York city and the coast. The roads are never busy ! Fish & Chip shop 1 minute away and The Blue Bell Inn less than 5, and that's at a slow pace. Out of the house left down to the water and ducks turn right up the slope with the big church on your right ... the pub is there. Great selection of Gins and decent beer. There are other pubs but this is by far the best. Very quiet little village. The WiFi in the cottage is super fast and a little welcome tray of goodies awaits. Light the fire sit back and enjoy. We did.

About the location

NAFFERTON

Driffield 2 miles; Bridlington 9 miles; York 29 miles.

The village of Nafferton is conveniently situated in the pretty countryside of the Yorkshire Wolds, yet only 2 miles from the market town of Driffield and 9 miles from the seaside resort of Bridlington. A large village, with mainly traditional dwellings that cluster around the mere and village greens, it is served by three country pubs, a village shop, a post office and a fish and chip shop. The railway station there is only 2 minutes walk away and extremely useful; only one stop to Bridlington and four to Scarborough! This is a lovely area for gentle walking, exploring the countryside and visiting stately homes and gardens such as Sledmere House and Burton Agnes Hall. A short ride takes you to the popular east coast seaside resorts with their long sandy beaches, whilst the historical City of York, with its famous minster, is well worth a visit.
