    We will definitely be back.

  • "Beautifully presented and well equipped cottage for two people in a peaceful location, but close to Scarborough town centre and a short drive to Whitby and other attractions."

    The hot tub was a huge bonus and we used it almost every day. We took a taxi into Scarborough on the Saturday (Boro Cars, £12 each way) but there was parking in the town during the week. Used Whitby Park and Ride as the place was packed. Would highly recommend Tawny Cottage or any of the other cottages at Riggs Head.

    We went Friday to Friday and thought the price was very reasonable. Hot Tub was fun. Log burner was lovely (we had to buy matches which we found odd as all the other items were there - logs, firelighters).Will definitely return. Thanks again xx

  • "Can’t recommend Riggs Head Farm enough!"

    Especially Tawny Cottage! We stayed for 4 nights in September and it was amazing. The facilities are brilliant, literally everything you would need and although we didn’t need anything else, no doubt it wouldn’t have been a problem at all to ask for anything. The cottage itself is gorgeous! Clean, modern, spacious and the bed gave me the best nights sleep I’d had in months, so comfy. Perfect for couples. The log burner was lovely as well as it was starting to get a little bit chilly. Hot tub was 100% a bonus as well. Lots of nice restaurants, pubs, walks, shops etc nearby and there’s even a book with some suggestions if you’re stuck! We will 100% be back soon for another amazing holiday❤️

  • "Very enjoyable stay."

    Lovely landscaping and nicely decorated and presented. We could have done with some scissors and a few more glasses and cutlery. A Coffee machine and welcome pack of coffee pods, milk and biscuits would have been nice too. The cottage was very snug and warm even without the heating on - the bathroom was surprisingly chilly though.

    It’s located on a farm with other individual cottages of different sizes and styles. For us the only down side was the very steep steps to enter the property. It’s convenient for many locations in the surrounding area and nice to return and relax in the hot tub in the evening.

  • "We had such a lovely weekend at Tawny Cottage, if you're looking for a little escape to unwind, this is your place."

    We took our 18 month little boy and dog and had a great time! Plenty of room for us all and very cosy, the cottage was very well equipped with everything you needed. The owners had a few niggles with the boiler but were so helpful and gave us extra logs for the fire, which as soon as it got going heated the whole cottage it was bliss, they couldn't have done enough to help. We had a Christmas tree too, so after a windy walk along the beach, coming back to the fire and a few Christmas films on Netflix was just perfect (Smart TV). My little boy enjoyed seeing the fish and the other animals, the owners were so friendly and happy to chat and even brought round some fizz and chocolates. It was a lot more private than I thought it would be, you're not overlooked by any of the other cottages when you're in the hot tub which was great. All the cottages have been done to a very high spec, it was spotless and very clean. A 10 minute drive to Scarborough, 30 minutes to Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay, the location was ideal, we'll definitely be back in the new year. Thank you for a lovely weekend!

  • "Me and my partner stayed in the Tawny Cottage and it was very beautifully decorated and super cosy!"

    We absolutely loved our stay and the area around us, waking up to the view of the country side, horses and sheep was wonderful! We loved the little touches like been able to relax after been in the hot tub to watch a film on Netflix! The location was perfect for visiting places such as Whitby, Goathland and Dalby Forest. The only downfall with our stay was the plot next door to the cottages is currently under construction which was very loud, this wasn't too bad with us having day trips out by the time we was back to the cottage the workmen had finished for the day and if other cottages have guests visiting/staying over this was causing a little bit of hassle with parking which we didn't think was fair as we was paying customers we should be able to park when returning for the night! Other then issues which was nothing to do with the hosts the stay was lovely and the hosts was wonderful, so lovely to chat to and very helpful! We would love to return in the future and maybe stay in another cottage/lodge!

    Great information given about the surroundings on arrival. A lovely hot tub to relax in and the hosts seem happy to help should you need anything. Only one note for dog walkers a lot of the surrounding areas are private land, took me about half an hour of walking along country roads to find somewhere I could let my dog off the leader for a run about, but the countryside surrounding the cottage is lovely. If you’re taking very young children pack a harness or sling as immediate walks aren’t pushchair friendly. Some lovely places to take children a short drive away, Sealife centre, a farm, lovely beaches, soft plays it really does have everything! I would highly recommend staying here and we will be visiting again!

    Perfectly positioned between the bright lights and amusements of Scarborough to the north or the tranquil scenery of the stunning Cayton Bay a little further south. Nick and Steph were lovely, friendly hosts and nothing was too much trouble for them. We would highly recommend this or any of the other cottages at Riggs Head Farm for a dog friendly break with the added luxury of a private hot tub to relax in after a long day walking.
