  • "Fantastic property."

    Has everything you would need and more. Wonderful location. Would not hesitate to book again

    So happy you enjoyed your stay; we'd love to welcome you back again in the future. Property Owner

  • "Very clean and comfortable house."

    Nice modern kitchen, however lacked, or we couldn't find them, some utensils ie vegetable peeler, salad spinner. Courtyard garden was lovely with plenty of good garden furniture, also a suntrap. Good bbq although we didn't use it. Comfortable beds and nice soft furnishings. Would have no qualms in recommending to friends. In essence a great stay in a good area for exploring the coast and moors

    Thank-you for your feedback it is appreciated. We do have a vegetable peeler at the property, but I will check it hasn't been accidentally removed by a previous guest. We will also consider having a salad spinner in the future. Property Owner

  • "Absolutely fantastic property."

    By chance we met the owner as we were a little early arriving and she was so lovely and welcoming. We used this property as a base and visited flamingo land with the kids and Whitby on another day. There is also within 10 minutes an amazing butchers and cake shop which I would highly recommend. The property was done to a very high standard, very modern and very clean largely. We did notice a lot of dog hair on one of the rugs which seemed to get everywhere but other than that, it was spotless. The outdoor area was perfect for two young kids to zoom around on their scooters. Plus, the outdoor bbq was amazing! We used it two nights in a row. Shame the weather hadn’t been better for us to sit outside a bit more. Upstairs bedrooms were quite light so if you have young kids in cots (a very good cot available) a mobile black out blind would be recommended. 10/10 though, lovely property and would defo stay again. Thank you.

    It was lovely to meet you all at the start of your stay at Martindale Cottage & lovely to hear you enjoyed your stay. We appreciate your feedback. Property Owner

  • "Really lovely cottage, kitchen facilities were great and beds really comfy."

    Cottage was nicely situated and neighbours very friendly. Little bit disappointed not to have any gas for the BBQ and nothing left for the fire pit, but this did not affect our stay.

    Good to hear you enjoyed your stay with us. Thank-you for your feedback. I will get the gas bottle for the BBQ refilled & ensure there is plenty of fire pit wood in the outside utility to use. Property Owner

    Location perfect for all that North Yorkshire has to offer One suggestion a hot tub could be placed on the patio at the back of the cottage

    Very modern so we aged persons 78 and 82 years had a few problems with tv and hob! A very nice village with brilliant bakery and butcher's.

    We are very pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay at Martindale Cottage and Sleights; we’ve worked hard to provide somewhere comfortable and cosy for people to stay. It was good to meet you on your first evening when we helped you into the property and went through how the smart TV worked. Property Owner

  • "The cottage is very high spec and in a good position."

    The layout is great and we had a lovely family holiday. Unfortunately the shower in our room didn’t work which would have been a bigger issue if we hadn’t been there with other family members. Some communication around this would have been helpful as it was known and some goodies left to compensate. Generally well equipped and nice touches eg toys for children. High tech facilities so instructions would be helpful. A teapot and cafetiere would have been helpful for us older people. Would have given 5* if shower worked. Overall a positive experience and would recommend this property for a holiday base.

    Thank-you so much for your feedback, we're so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Now we have been alerted to the issue with one of the showers a plumber is resolving the issue. A teapot & cafetiere is now available for guests and we will provide some more information guides for guests. Property Owner

  • "We had a wonderful stay at Martindale Cottage & wouldn't hesitate to return in the future."

    Overall lovely accommodation, the only critique we had was the cleanliness when we noted a £350 service charge for cleaning. When we arrived there were lots of long hairs and dust around the white marble flooring in the unsuite, lot's of crumbs left in the bottom on the oven and the rug in the lounge was slippery under our feet so moved for comfort but found alot of sand and dust underneath. We shook the rug outside and tidied up with the dustpan and brush so it wasn't an issue, but we assumed perhaps it had been quickly over turned as we felt things had been missed. It was lovely to have a welcome pack. A well throughout outbtreats for humans and pet owners. My only feedback was the lack of sugar, salt etc in the kitchen which all other places usually provide. On a whole, the house and outdoor space was lovely, and the tree blowing outside the bedroom window in the sunlight with the view of fields was a wellbeing treat. Thanks for a lovely stay ♡

    Dear Miss Howell, I am sorry that everything wasn't to our normal high standard. I will feed this back to ensure we provide the best possible stay for everyone. We would love to welcome you to come back again for another relaxing stay. Property Owner
