• "A really lovely cottage."

  Dan is a thoughtful host and we fet at home from the moment we arrived. A great base from which to see the area. We are already planning our next visit. Thank you for a wonderful week.

  It was lovely to have you come to stay in Snainton. Just sorry that I didn’t see much more of you (due to me and my wretched back). I really do hope that you come back for another visit next year during the summer when the sun is shining. Hopefully the young man might have shot up a few inches and he might be big enough for a ride around on the bike. He might even enjoy a trip to watch the motorbike racing at Oliver’s Mount which happens 4 times a year? That’s a good full day’s entertainment for a fairly reasonable price. Hope you all made it home safely. It was really good to meet you all. Take care and hopefully I’ll see you again (and perhaps the grandparents too) next year. All the best from Dan, Charlie, Bob and Dave. Property Owner

• "Upstairs downstairs cottage is a fantastic place to stay, both for access to the coast and the country."

  It was clean, cosy and warm. We would definitely stay there again.

  It was a pleasure having you all to stay and I’m so glad you liked it here in Snainton too. Hope you got home safely and that the rain has stopped in Sheffield. I must say a really huge thank you to you all for leaving the cottage so clean too. It is so, so very much appreciated when guests look after the place. You’re welcome back anytime. Take good care of yourselves and all the best from Dan, Charlie, Bob and Dave Property Owner

  Close to all surrounding of Yorkshire and a short drive to Scarborough. Overall a cosy, chilled environment which I would gladly want to stay again when I do come back.

• "This cottage is one of the best we have stayed in ( for comfort and features)."

  When we arrived there were welcoming features (milk, tea, fruit, biscuits and more. This effort from the owner (Daniel) and family made our holiday, he was very accommodating, friendly. We would certainly recommend a second visit even a third.

  It was a pleasure to meet you Chris and Judy too. I really enjoyed meeting you both and I’m very glad that you both enjoyed your stay here in Snainton. You are both welcome back anytime you want. Thank you so much for your excellent feedback on the property (and my own hosting skills). It means so much. And thank you both too for leaving the cottage so tidy and clean when you checked out. Hope you both made it home safely and that life is treating you well. All the best from Dan and the Snainton clan. Property Owner

• "Great Holiday, Great Cottage, Great Host, Great Village and Residents."

  The cottage was up there with the best, Every thing you need for a supper holiday. The little extras on arrival were vary much appreciated, ( and Dan the Bottle of red was great the girls only drink white guess who had the whole bottle) Amenities were spot on, good off road parking, out door laundry facility’s and a large paddock for Louie to chase his ball. Dan the owner, top man very pleasant, helpful and nothing was to much trouble. His knowledge of the area and where to eat was so helpful, Thanks Dan. I must mention the village of Snainton, great chippy less than a minute away from the cottage. The pheasant public house 300yrds approx up the road was 1st class reasonable and made us feel like locals, that included Louie, with his treat and bowl of water, and finally we found the village a very friendly place. Once again Dan thanks for making our holiday GREAT. Trev.Liz,Linda and Louie the Cockerpoo.

• "A beautiful cottage."

  We chose it for its location and to experience upstairs downstairs living. Everything we could have needed was there to help us enjoy our stay. It felt homely and welcoming. The paddock was a great bonus to let the dog run free and get a shock when he discovered horses over the wall. Dan the owner was on hand, really friendly and welcoming with so much local knowledge. I would highly recommend a stay here and hope to go back again soon.

  It was really great to meet you both and a pleasure having you stay. I’m really glad you enjoyed your stay and you’re welcome back anytime. Thank you so much for your kind words and compliments. It really does mean so much. All the best to you. From Dan and the 3 furrys Property Owner

  Hiyer guys. It was a treat to have you stay. I’m really glad that you all enjoyed it. It’s the best part of running holiday cottages…I get to meet amazing people like you. It really was a pleasure to meet yourself Natalie, Dave and your beautiful little lass (she cheered up my day with her cheeky little smile and rosey cheeks). Big hello to your mum and dad too. I have to also say thank you. I couldn’t believe how clean you left the cottage especially with having a toddler (you’d expect at least one or two sticky marks but nope! Nowt. It was immaculate. You are welcome back anytime. Dave if you do and your legs a bit better bring your crosser gear and we’ll head over to the track so you can have a ride. Bikes rule! Take care guys and thanks again.

  Very comfy and spotless. The owner was very friendly and knowledgeable gave good advice and information which was really helpful. We were close to Scarborough Filey and Pickering. And pubs short distance away. Fish and chips thirty yards away and delicious and a little shop selling most things. Outside was a manicured hedge and big garden well cultured. The cottage was just behind main road so advice of keeping dogs on leads is a definite. Would be happy to recommend to anyone to this cottage.

  Comfy bed, great bathroom and spotlessly clean throughout. Great open plan living area. Minor moans, the cooker hood and workspace positions. The cottage is upside down living space includes quite a bit of the roof slope. Add in a cooker hood canopy with glass hood perfectly at eye level, whilst cooking or preparing food I constantly banged my head or my eye! Then saucepans struggled to cook 2 veg and potatoes on a Sunday lunch. Final little moan , no cleaning materials, like hob cleaner for the glass electric hob, shower or bath cleaner, these would have helped and did not feel inclined to go,and buy them! Overall though we would return just with a crash hat for when preparing food and cooking!

• "This cottage was a real find."

  I cannot believe how clean it is! It's just great, so comfortable Dan has thought of everything. We loved it, the location was excellent, within striking distance of most everything - coast, forest, scenic drives, views, really good fish & chips (next door), local Shop (all of two minutes walk) which was excellent e.g. my favourite wine at £3 less than a supermarket I use at home. On our first day they actually put some out the back for me. And such friendly people both there and in the village. Bus stop about 1 minute away either direction and if you are lucky you will pick up en-route some fresh produce, raspberries, green beans and blackcurrants being sold outside a house but be quick, they go fast! The cottage backs onto paddocks and we were very lucky to attend the Stables open event on Sunday, great fun, and we enjoyed seeing the foal each morning. Lovely garden facility and again Dan has thoughtfully provided rustic tables and chairs for guests. Neither of us are particularly cat lovers but the two resident cats had me eating out of their paws, hello Spikey and Norman. And as for Dan, well he's one of life's characters! Thanks Dan - your cottage is lovely!

• "Gorgeous area."

  Not an ideal cottage for families with small children as stairs are quite steep and open to falls. Good for older ones but very low walls / extracted fan on oven - hit my head countless number of times. Gorgeous garden to rear of property though you need to keep checking for dog poo - had a few accidents in children’s footwear. Also falling piece of wood from Window which narrowly missed my daughters head. Apart from these few issues it was nice and comfy.
