  • "We had a wonderful short stay at Granary Cottage."

    We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Kitchen had everything we needed and beds and bedding were comfortable. It was in a perfect location for visiting places on the moors such as Grosmont and Goathland as well as quick access to Whitby and Scarborough. We enjoyed walking from the door to Ravenscar with a welcome refreshment break at the National Trust tearoom.

  • "The Granary Cottage was lovely."

    It is conveniently located to Whitby, Robin's Hood Bay and other nearby villages and towns, despite being incredibly peaceful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage and the host, Cara, was very responsive!

    Everything we need is in the cottage and it's always clean and tidy when we come.

    . There was a lovely welcome bag, much appreciated. Spent a lovely day in Whitby, well worth a visit. All round a lovely place to stay, would highly recommend.

  • "The Cottage was beautiful and very clean and cozy."

    The kitchen was very well equipped and had everything we needed. The shower was very good and my bed was very comfortable. Sadly the downstairs furniture wasn’t so comfortable. Although leather wears very well and they looked ok, there was no support in the innards of the sofa, so I sank back into a hollow and my knees were higher than my hips. Shame, because the rest was perfect. Key safe made arriving and leaving very simple. The property is in a beautiful area and was convenient for Whitby, Scarborough and lots of lovely nearby walks. Would recommend Scalby Mill Inn for lovely and very reasonable food and dogs are made welcome. North shore at Scarborough was great for the dogs too.

  • "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Granary Cottage."

    The cottage was clean and well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The private, walled garden was great, nice and secure for our dog to enjoy. The surroundings are picture perfect. Quiet and restful but central to surrounding places of interest. We would definitely love to come back. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

  • "Grab rail in bath/shower is needed."

    Shower needs updating to provide better flow and control. Oven underpowered.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are more than happy to answer any queries prior to booking to help you ensure that you can choose the most suitable cottage but we had not been made aware that you required a grab rail for the bath. The shower is a modern Mira Sport with 3 power flows as well as 4 different shower head settings to ensure that you have full control over the temperature, the speed of flow plus options as to the style of shower so you can adjust to personal preference. As the shower is relatively new with a good flow and options to suit each user, we do not feel that it needs updating so we are sorry that this was not to your liking. The oven is a multifunction fan oven with several different functions which heats to temperature and it has been tested and is working well. We strive to provide a lovely environment in Granary Cottage so we hope you enjoyed your holiday. Property Owner

    In the country nice and quiet but not too far away from all the places we wanted to go, eg Whitby, Robin Hood bay, Goathland, Grosmont, Saltburn, RSPB Bempton Cliffs plus lots more. We got lots of photos of the Gannets. Also Steam trains. This was one of our better holidays for along time. Cottage was fab, weather a bit mixed all week but even that could not spoil our excellent holiday in this Clean, warm snug cottage. Thank you

  • "Lovely cottage in great location."

    Very quiet yet only 10 miles or so from Whitby and Scarborough. Great forest and coastal walks nearby - we had our dog with us and she loved it. Lovely walk up disused rail line from Ravenscar also. Recommend Ravenscar cafe for breakfast and snacks just a mile or so away and Blacksmiths inn in cloughton close to for food as nearest pub the Falcon appears to be being refurbished. Cottage lovely and clean - Bedrooms small but as expected in barn conversion so no complaints although if you were tall they may be a problem with very low beams. Lots of extra kitchen bits and bobs provided and thoughtful welcome gift appreciated. Enclosed garden for dog was good for us also. Only comment would be pillows were very soft and seemed lumpy but that could be our personal preference. Would recommend.

    Thank you for your comments, it is great to hear that you thought Granary Cottage was lovely. We have since changed the pillows so that guests now have a choice to suit personal preference and we hope to welcome you back to the cottage again in the future. Property Owner

    We had dogs and it was great for them too! All in all it was a lovely venue, it was just disappointing that the Falcon Inn had recently closed which meant we had to drive to eat out, we found the Bryherstone Pub, which was a good venue for food with excellent customer service.

    Its nice and quiet in the countryside to close enough to see the sea and visit. We had lots of fun walking and got wet through one of the days but the cottage is so well equipped with all the essentials you could possibly need. I hadnt packed washing detergent as we were only there for 3 days but when we DEFINITELY needed to wash/dry we could. The secure yard was perfect for our dog. Everything was super clean and it was a pleasure to stay there. We will be planning a return trip. The cottage was perfectly located, warm and cosy. We visited at the end of October.

  • "Lovely cottage set in peaceful countryside surroundings."

    Very small but more than adequate for our week away. Unfortunately we were there before lockdown had been totally lifted (holiday postponed from last year) so none of the local pubs were open for dining out, which meant a fair trek to Scarborough for a take-away. Great for dog walking, though very hilly, as you would expect in the Yorkshire Moors! The cottage had a small enclosed courtyard at the back, so the dogs were completely safe which is a must when I book anywhere. The only thing I would point out is that the stair treads are fairly narrow and a long-handled broom would not have gone amiss. Overall a lovely little cottage in the heart of farmland on the moors. Perhaps a little too remote for us, but that's just a personal opinion.

  • "This is a little gem whose owners clearly have an eye for detail."

    In over 40 years of hiring self-catering properties (2 to 5 times a year) I have never experienced a property which was so well-equipped. Despite being on holiday. I always cook from scratch and usually find that something is 'missing' - but not at Granary Cottage. It was exactly as described and shown in the listing and from the moment I entered I knew it would suit my needs perfectly. Everything was spotlessly clean and well thought out and provided for, plus the location was peaceful. My previous experiences - Often, there is initially disappointment when entering a property and a feeling of being let down. Often, if a property is for 3 people, there are just 3 of everything. Often, equipment is not provided or is well-used and/or mis-matched. BUT I cannot fault Granary Cottage

    We found the cottage to be quite dark inside and lacking in natural light . There was no real garden for the dog to roam in just a courtyard type garden. We were expecting to sit outside and look at the view but there was not one.Apart from that we found the cottage well eguipped and comfortable.

    Granary Cottage is in beautiful surroundings, and the booklet left by the owners gave you instruction of how to find local shops, beaches and eatery's. The cottage itself was fully equipped, we didn't have to take towels, bed linen, tea towels, etc, in fact there was even toilet roll, kitchen roll, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets. You really could just unpack and relax. The back yard was a sun trap and excellent for the dogs. I would highly recommend this cottage.
