  • "We loved our time in Wagtail Nest."

    Everything we needed was there. It's spotlessly clean with beautiful decor. A delicious hamper was waiting for us with dog treats too. Paul the host introduced himself and let us know he was nearby if we needed anything. We stayed from Friday to Monday in February, the weather was very kind to us so we enjoyed the many walks practically on the doorstep, we visited Scarborough and Dalby Forest. The hot tub was just what we needed at the end of the day. Plenty of room for the dog to have a wander in the enclosed garden by the hot tub or there's a paddock for them to have a bit more freedom. A delightful, peaceful place to stay and we would love to go back one day.

  • "We had such a wonderful stay at wagtail nest."

    We took our 9 month old German Shepherd and the owners welcomed him with open arms. The property is cosy but spacious and in a very quiet area which is perfect for that tranquil relaxed stay, which is exactly what we wanted. The owners provided some treats for us and our dog which was very generous. The owners are very welcoming and friendly and provided their phone numbers in case there were any problems. All in all a brilliant place to stay and we would highly recommend!

    Unfortunately the boiler had broken so Paul the landlord moved us the The Nook. The Nook was beautiful and we were left a welcome pack full of goodies, which was beautiful and very kind.

  • "A well kept cottage in a superb location for visiting the North East Coast."

    Some aspects of the cottage might benefit from a little tlc. For example the lid of the hot tub does not have a framework so is very difficult to take off and put back on. Also not all of the jets were working properly at first as one of the control valves appeared to be stuck although we did get it free. Suggest the tub is checked each week. Also there were lots of cobwebs in the lounge and bedroom. We appreciate that there will be some activity at this time of year but once we had got rid of what we could see, they didn't come back. The kitchen was well equipped unless you wanted to cook a 3 course dinner.

  • "Everything was excellent-the only a couple of niggles we have was there we missed an arm chair as my partner had to sit on a dining chair due to the settee been low and soft as my partner suffers with back problems."

    Also finding the cottage with the post code took us to the farm further down the road-this is quite stressful after a journey with a dog. Needs to have a sign on the gate or something noticable for future guests. Overall we had an excellent and relaxing time-great cottage and countryside for dog walks-the paddock is ideal for walking the dog early morning or late at night. Facilities are good and the bed comfortable. Paul was very friendly and always on the end of the phone. Appreciate the directions into Scarborough from Paul-was a lot easier. Welcome pack very good and the strawberry tarts in the fridge-thank you

    Arrived to a lovely welcome basket of treats. We didn’t meet the host Paul as he was away, but he was lovely to be in touch by phone. Couldn’t fault the cottage & in a great location to visit loads of places (so many great places not a far drive, either on the coast or the countryside). As we have visited surrounding area before we wanted to be somewhere where we could go without driving & had some fab walks on our doorstep, only complaint was the hills lol!! Nice little local shop up the road, highly recommend the local made cider. Hot tub was bliss after end of long walks. Thanks for a fab break.

    Set on a very quiet road with easy safe parking. Small but well secured garden for our dog. Very grateful for the treats left by the owner the dog treats were especially welcome! The hot tub was lovely & large and great for relaxing in after a day out and great for stargazing! The kitchen had everything we needed and was spotless. Comfy leather sofa. The cottage was always warm and the heating was easy to alter. The cottage was ample for 2 and well laid out. The shower room was really nice & had a fab shower. Our only minor negatives were it could do with somewhere to put shampoo and shower gel whilst in the shower also a small clothes airer to hang wet cozzie/trunks to dry inside the cubicle if it was raining. No hairdryer (but not sure if missing due to Covid rules) A full length mirror and small coffee table would be a nice addition. We prefer a memory foam mattress so did find the bed a bit 'springy'. Overall a lovely holiday cottage, in a pretty and quiet area at a great price would definitely recommend.
