“A really enjoyable break at a cosy, well furnished cottage in such a peaceful, tucked away corner on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors.”

The cottage is ideal for walkers, sight seers or just anyone who wants to recharge their batteries. The cottage itself is well furnished, with a good bed, central heating and even an open fire. The kitchen has a decent range of equipment including a washer drier. However the star is the moors and dales in your doorstep with the bright lights of Scarborough and the Yorkshire coast a short drive away.

“A clean cosy cottage in a very quiet part of the countryside, not too far from scarborough, Whitby”
Miss Hanson August 2018

“We (self, partner & 3 border collies) spent a wonderfully peaceful and relaxing week at Thiirley Cotes, The Cottage is tucked away, which means that you can fully enjoy the peace and quiet.”

Though it is only 10/15 minutes away by car to the coast, through stunning scenery. We took our dogs to the east side of Sandsend beach, beautiful and dog friendly. There are walks and trails all over the area, you are spoilt for choice. The cottage is ideal for dog owners/walkers and is geared that way. I have seen a couple of reviews say about cleanliness, I think they are mistaking cleanliness with suitable for dogs. The cottage was clean and tidy and thoroughly welcoming for both us and our pooches. The floors are painted floorboards with a large dog friendly rug in the living room. You don’t want wall to wall carpeting and lots of fuss when you are bringing three wet dogs in after a long walk. Mr Empson is incredibly laid back, understanding and very kind about having dogs around, there were three dogs in the cottage next door too. Just two steps across a tiny lane at the back of the cottage is the wonderful Evie’s Wood - 5 acres filled with native species of trees, brambles, sunflowers and allsorts of wildlife. It is a real haven and was an incredible exercise area for our dogs - they loved it! We asked if it was ok for my daughter and her partner to visit us on Bank Holiday Monday and bring her two dogs, not a problem at all. Wonderful, we had a great day and my daughter and her partner are going to book for next year. I’m torn between highly recommending and keeping this wonderful little cottage a secret! Thank you Mr Empson, for your hospitality and wonderful understanding of multiple dog families

“Ideal position to go to the coast , Yorkshire Moors and the North York Moors Railway .”

Nice area in the woods to walk the dog opposite the cottage . We found plenty of cafes and pubs to take the dog in around the area. We enjoyed the North Yorkshire Moors railway trip from Pickering to Whitby . Do have some Fish & Chips in Whitby , the fish is so fresh it's wonderful!

“We booked this cottage because phone connection was probably going to be poor and we needed a rest from company calls during our holiday.”

....Our plan worked a treat and we had a well earned rest. We have returned home very chilled....The Internet had connection so we were able to be connected at our convenience though... The cottage was clean, tidy and neat and we felt comfortable there with our three dogs... Many thanks for a lovely time...Jill

“A very well maintained cottage which and has all the home comforts you need.”

The bed and bedding are very comfortable. The Cottage is central for everywhere we visited. It has a brilliant five acre area you can enjoy opposite the cottage and a really pleasant garden to use with various garden furniture. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday. This is the third year we have stayed at Thirley Cotes Cottage and will be booking for next year. Patrick and Jacqui

“We have been to this place 2times - will go again!”

Property wonderful, views are amazing. Only problem for me is that there isn’t any shower, only a bath. And for those with disabilities it’s a slight problem!

“Good location, beautiful garden, peace and quiet.”

Good pub a few miles down the road. Great for Scarborough, Robin Hood Bay, Filey, Whitby and the National park

“perfect retreat for a chill out holiday”

Was very impressed with the cottage, the photos didn't do it justice. The owner was extremely pleasant and helpful but didn't intrude. The cottage was cosy and had all that is necessary for a comfortable stay. Plan to stay there again next year if possible.

“Easy, quiet and relaxing.”

Rita and I, having recently moved house, needed a quiet relaxing holiday and we certainly found one in Thirley Cotes. It's off the beaten track yet charming and close to amenities and Scarborough - Whitby's not far either. Inside it's very good with an excellent kitchen and bedroom, the lounge is comfortable but a bit basic. The bathroom is also very good but needs a shower spray for ladies who wash their hair (which is all of them all the time!). I recommend it.

“A perfect base for coast and countryside”

This is a wonderful cosy cottage in beautiful countryside. Although in a quiet hamlet you are not far from Whitby and Scarborough so it's a perfect base. It is dog friendly and even has a private woodland for you to exercise them in. The spotlessly clean cottage met every imaginable need, even providing board games, books etc and some very helpful leaflets about the surrounding area. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

“Lovely restfull location”

This is an ace base to do as little or as much exploring of the area as you like. Very dog friendly, all in all great value too.

On entering i was more than happy with the cottage . A very well equipped kitchen , nice cosy living room with a comfy sofa . A very nice bedroom and a fab bath room , well worth the moneys paid . The location is a bit off the beaten track , perfect if you are after some quiet time , but having said that its only a 15-20 min drive to scarborough .

“Top quality and comfort”

We loved this cottage, everything was comfortable and good quality with lots of attention to detail, and the open fire topped it all off beautifully. The surroundings are just really breathtaking and a great escape from the big smoke. Hope to come again! Bobbin the pup loved it too.
