Wood Cottage

Cottage is excellent in all respects.

Views to die for. Well looked after and maintained. The owner is kind, considerate and helpful. Couldn't wish for more. John and Elaine

A wonderful cottage in a superb location.

We were warmly welcomed by our host, Robert and Trixie the sheep dog. The cottage has everything you would need and was superbly clean. The surrounding countryside is beautiful with lovely walks directly from the cottage. Easily located to reach all locations in the North York Moors area as well as the coast. Thoroughly recommend this cottage

Lovely cottage, beautiful location and very friendly hosts and dog!

Will definitely come again.

Wood Cottage is a superb property, ideal for a peaceful break.

It is located on a working sheep farm and Robert is a great host. Trixxi the friendly sheepdog, is a regular visitor to the front door! If you are looking for somewhere that offers a beautiful rural retreat, and yet is within easy reach of local facilities, this is the perfect place.

We would highly recommend staying at Wood cottage.

It was beautifully maintained and exceptionally clean. A lovely setting amongst nature. Robert made us feel very welcome, and so did Trixy the dog.

June/July 2026 We discovered Wood Cottage in 2018 and fell in love with this spotlessly clean, beautifully designed, furnished and equipped cottage in its beautiful setting.

We particularly like staying in cottages on working farms and love the North York Moors, so this has become the perfect base for six enjoyable holidays so far and this certainly won’t be the last. The timing of our second visit was rewarded by the sight and sounds of the lambs and we have enjoyed following the development of entertaining and lovable collie dog Trixie as she has grown and developed. Despite having a working farm to run, Robert never fails to welcome us warmly, check that all is well and makes our comfort and well-being a priority. The cottage has been a huge contributor to our North Yorkshire holidays and we wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else.

Simply a little slice of perfection!

Wood Cottage is such a cosy, comfortable, immaculately clean and perfectly equipped place to stay. Unplanned car issues meant we were limited in being able to venture far, but just being able to press the pause button and stay local, getting in some beautiful walks and switching off made this such a relaxing stay (thoroughly recommend the walk from behind the chapel in Chop Gate up onto Cold Moor and then up to the Cleveland Way path - amazing views over to Middlesbrough and the sea beyond.) Robert was an amazing host and couldn't do enough to help us in every way including helping to get the car serviceable for our homeward journey - huge thanks to him! Barn owl roosting behind cottage and hunting out the front, Cuckoo calling across the valley and Trixie the Collie being an attentive chief of entertainment - this was the perfect getaway and we are already booked to return!

The cottage was great in every way and Robert, the owner who lives in the farmhouse next door, couldn't have been more friendly and helpful.

A comfortable clean cottage in a beautiful area.

Made to feel welcome .

Fantastic stay.

Really comfortable, spacious and airy cottage in a stunning setting. Had everything we needed, and Robert was on hand throughout. We'll be back!

Beautiful cottage with beautiful surroundings.

Everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Very clean and a warm and friendly welcome. We loved Trixies visits

Perfect.

Exactly as listed. Very clean and tidy. The location is superb and very peaceful in a wonderful setting. Such a quiet area and yet handy for getting to other areas. Lots of great walking routes nearby. All the other reviews are accurate, in fact it could not be more perfect. Thank you Robert for maintaining such a lovely cottage and allowing us to experience such a delightful and restful holiday. Julie and David

A return visit to Wood Cottage for us, this time we stayed over the late Christmas and New Year.

As always, we arrived to find the property clean and tidy and with a welcome basket from owner Robert. Some Christmas decorations made it even more seasonal and cosy for our stay. We experienced snow and ice during our stay this time which did mean that we spent more time at the cottage than perhaps we had during previous visits. There are games and books available to read at the cottage and walks around the property/estate such as up the mould behind the cottage (great views) or through the woods which can be accessed easily from the cottage, plus there is the nearby pub down in the village itself. There is also the tv and some dvds available along with wifi for streaming etc. During our stay it was just consistently very cold, snowy and icy across all of Yorkshire but the cottage is warm and cosy so it wasn't really an issue indoors. There are some lovely dark skies available at Wood Cottage and Sheepcote (the Shepherds Hut) so if there is no cloud cover it is just great for a good photo or a spot of stargazing. There is no light pollution so this can make for a good spot to stay whilst still being not far from the nearby towns of Helmsley and Stokesley (20 mins or so drive) or Northallerton about 30ish mins away. York is about an hour's drive and the park and ride system around York makes it easy to get into the city itself without the worry of finding somewhere to park. Leaflets for activities and areas of interest are available in the property which is helpful if you are visiting the area for the first time. We love Wood Cottage and Sheepcote not just because both of the properties are so clean and tidy (we have stayed in both) but because the owner is friendly and helpful and it is a good, central location to access both the dales and the moors as well as the coast. It is a quiet and beautiful location and a great place to chill out, walk or explore the many activities and places Yorkshire has to offer. There are lots of lovely walks around the area, maps are available to borrow in Wood Cottage. The towns have a good selection of fruit and veg shops, butchers and bakers along with a co op for other provisions. We had a Sunday lunch at the Jet Miners pub in the nearby Great Broughton which was really good value and tasty (a carvery on a Sunday) but it may be an idea to book ahead or check out the menu on other days of the week. Open fire and friendly staff. There are also some nice places to eat in Northallerton, Betty's if you want to splash out for a treat or Cocoa Tree cafe in Helmsley and pizza places and pubs in Stokesley. Robert the owner (and Trixie the dog) are on hand most days if guests need advice, help or info but they are respectful and at a distance so that guests can still enjoy their stay and maintain privacy but to know that help is nearby if so required. Would certainly recommend if looking for somewhere to stay in Yorkshire.

This has been our fifth stay in Wood Cottage, which once again fulfilled our very high expectations from previous visits: a lovely spotlessly clean, well-equipped cottage in a beautiful setting.

As always, a very warm welcome from Robert and the vase of fresh flowers and welcome basket of goodies were very much appreciated and enjoyed. Again, a lovely week’s holiday. Weather was variable this time, but on the couple of occasions we had to stay indoors, it would have been hard to find anywhere more pleasant and comfortable. The North York Moors are a favourite holiday destination and when here, we wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else.

Cannot fault this cottage from Robert (& Trixie the dog) the host you couldn't wish for anything g more Barbie and Clive

This is our second visit and we absolutely loved our stay at Wood Cottage.

Robert and Trixie are lovely and so welcoming. The cottage is clean and tidy and has everything you could need. The location is fabulous, just beautiful, and you can do plenty of walks from the doorstep and lots of places to cycle. My husband brought his bike this time and went off cycling, doing seven of the “100 greatest climbs” which are in the area. Robert also provided storage for the bike. The sheep on the farm are lovely and I was lucky enough to see some newly born Herdwick lambs. Thank you also to Robert for letting me watch some of the sheep shearing. We came back home lovely and relaxed and would definitely recommend!

Superb cottage on a wonderful working farm.

Fantastically quiet with incredible views and great owners. Just book it!

This is a wonderful cottage- SO clean , excellent facilities and such a pleasure to stay in.

It is lovely to be part of the farm and have access to walks and amazing views from your door. A real credit to the owner and his hard work.

Wood Cottage is simply wonderful!

Location, cleanliness, comfort, coziness, all 10 out of 10. Our week went much too quickly! Nothing more to say really…. just loved it!

This is our second visit to Wood cottage and it was just as lovely and enjoyable as our first visit.

On both occasions we have stayed in the autumn or winter so although the weather has been changeable, we have still managed to find plenty to do and see. There is a bench at the front of the property to sit and take in the view as well as seating with table in the garden at the rear of the property. Day or night it’s a calm and tranquil place to stay. Wildlife is abundant and the woods adjacent are worth a look / walk. It can be quite nice to be able to watch the sunrise, sets, moon and the stars and this is quite a nice treat with the velux windows in one of the bedrooms and also in the upstairs lounge area. As there is no light pollution, it can be quite wonderful on a clear night especially if you live in the city, perhaps or seek a dark skies experience The cleanliness of the cottage along with the fresh flowers and lovely basket of goodies is a great welcome and a wonderful way to start the holiday. For those needing the Internet there is a hub in the cottage which was sufficient to stream videos receive Wi-Fi calls and hold both zoom and teams meeting. The beds are comfortable, the shower / bath spacious and nice and there’s a range of kitchen equipment / decent pans, knives and chopping boards etc, TV, dvds, books and games if the weather is not so kind or you don’t feel like going out. Wood cottage is a great place if you’re looking for some quiet and comfortable accommodation in a beautiful location. The cottage is a central base to travel and explore the area, go for walks, shopping or to take in some of the history of the Moors or the Dales. The coast and Whitby, Saltburn about 1 hour’s drive. Whilst the cottage is situated on a working farm, the noise is minimal and this did not affect the peace and quiet nor the enjoyment we had on our holiday. The cottage is very well equipped and extremely clean. You can access nearby towns and the city of York or Harrogate relatively easily. Park and ride for York is very accessible and probably a good idea rather than trying to enter the city to park. There is a lot of information in the cottage either with leaflets provided by Robert or in the reading through all of the guest books. There are also maps and local information which we found really helpful and interesting. Robert is an extremely pleasant guy and it was a good to catch up with him and Trixie the dog. If you’re travelling with family maybe - there is also the little shepherds hut “sheepcote” which is located on the same farm for 2 people. Also a great location and managed by Robert. Set away a little and overlooking the fields/sheep and in its own area for privacy. Nice and cosy. We can’t wait to return in a couple of months.

We had an amazing stay at wood cottage.

Perfectly located, with dramatic views from every angle. The house was perfectly clean and had everything you could want, thoughtfully equipped and very well laid out. Robert the owner is very friendly and helpful. The kids loved exploring the woodland and stream at the back of the cottage, and it's within a short drive of major towns, attractions and the coast. I would absolutely recommend this place, if you're thinking of a trip to the Yorkshire Moors dont hesitate to book!

The directions were spot on and we spoke with Robert, the owner, prior to our arrival, he provided additional information that would assist us should we have trouble finding our way to Wood Cottage.

The property was exceptionally clean and tidy. I have stayed in many holiday homes and this was, by far, the cleanest and most equipped I have ever experienced. The location of the farm and the cottage (also Sheep Cote, The Shepherd's hut) is perfect for anyone wishing to get away for peace, quiet, rest and relaxation. It is a quiet and remote location but just a short drive to a main road that links to Stokesley or Helmsley, (Northallerton, York, Thirsk, Ripon). All are great towns to visit. (Do check out the market days.) The cottage is wonderfully comfortable and cosy and we were welcomed with a basket of goodies which was lovely. It is light and airy and a perfect size for either 2 or 4 to stay. A separate toilet as well as the bathroom is always helpful. The shower is great, hot, roomy and towel rails help dry towels, radiators to maintain the temperature on the colder nights. On the clear nights, of which we were fortunate to have many, you can see the full night sky of stars and the moon lighting up the landscape. No light pollution. We walked up the mound/round to behind the cottage for some amazing views and through the woods adjacent to the cottage which was very rewarding and refreshing. The internet is good with there being a router in Wood Cottage and this was good enough to provide a clear and uninterrupted connection for meetings I/we held on both MSTeams and Zoom. As previously stated in other reviews, there is no mobile signal or mobile data available, this suited us just fine. There are a number of places nearby for walks, short, long, circular or to pick up somewhere along the Cleveland Way. Walks from the farm or drive to a point of interest. Lots to see and do, leaflets at the property if you are struggling for things to see and do. Park & Ride for York and Minster probably easier for most. Parking in some towns uses a parking disc (clock) which can be picked up from most local shops, town halls etc. (Free to obtain the disc) Most towns can be reached fairly easily, York is about 1 hour away. Robert is a busy guy and yet he had the time to chat and share local information and is a pleasure to talk with. Trixie visited for daily fusses. She is a lovely girl who will bring you a stone as a welcome gift and yet is not at all intrusive. A thoroughly wonderful week in a great location and we have already booked to return in 2025. Wood Cottage really is a most wonderful find.

We loved our stay at Wood Cottage and Robert was a wonderful host.

The cottage was immaculate and had everything we needed with very comfy beds. The surroundings just beautiful – you forget how quiet and dark places can be. The night sky was amazing without light pollution and it was lovely to be based on a working sheep farm with friendly dog and cats!! Lots of walks in the area which you can start from the cottage. We have booked to go again next year! Thank you Robert.

Probably the best holiday cottage we have ever stayed at, beautifully presented, stunning location and most importantly clean.

Robert was very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend Wood Cottage to anyone.

Comfort and quality.

We have been holidaying in self catering accommodation for many years and have experienced the wide range of what is available. Wood Cottage is an exception to the norm. From the design stage it was obviously made for purpose. Both the bedrooms are a great size and have the most comfortable beds we have experienced away from home. The second WC was useful with four adults staying. The living/kitchen area is on the first floor and a good size and again well designed. The kitchen equipment from the cooker to the teaspoons and everything in between is plentiful and good quality. A clear concise guide covers everything in the cottage. The mobile signal is virtually non existent but you might be able to get WiFi calls with your provider, however the internet speed is limited. The TV is Freeview and that comes with more limited options than Freesat or anything you might be used to with streaming services. There is a DVD player so pack some of your favourite films to watch. Now finally we have to talk about the setting, it is a working farm and the approaching drive way is a gravel up hill which is a little uneven is places. However when you arrive and get out the area is absolutely stunning and has to be seen to be believed and there is direct access to walks from the doorsteps.

Wood cottage was as lovely as ever, the owner takes great care to make sure everything is top notch.

A lovely property in a gorgeous location (picturesque and quiet but still well connected by road, with many walks from the door).

The cottage was very clean and the owner was very friendly. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and equipment, the water was lovely and hot and the beds were very comfortable. We also appreciated the basket of goodies very much.

Spotlessly clean quality accomadation in a stunning location owner couldn't do enough for us would definitely recommend to anyone.

You will not find a better small cottage.

It was set in such a lovely location and being an upside down cottage was ideal as you had the lovely views from the lounge diner across the farm and dale. The bed was so cozy and comfortable and there was a door from the bedroom leading out to a seating area with table, a picnic table and a walk through the woods up onto the hill behind the farm. The cottage was spotlesly clean and should be a credit to Robert the owner. Robert phoned us the day before we were due to arrive and he was always happy to have a chat, even if he was busy on the farm. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful, shepards hut, and great cottage, and loverly to have pets about too, felt homely.

Fantastic views. Very clean. And cosy.

The perfect cottage, cosy but spacious, great location, well equipped and exceptionally clean.

Rob was the best host.

Always a great holiday place, cottage is always immaculate and spotlessly clean.

Robert and Jo always make you very welcome. Highly recommend them to everyone.

If you are reading these reviews you are probably thinking about staying at this cottage.

.. My advice would be to book it! You will not be disappointed. We have just returned from a fabulous week here. The cottage is first class, the scenery is second to non and the owners, Robert and Jo, are the loveliest people. There is lots to do within the area if you want to get out and about but Wood Cottage is so lovely that if you just want to relax and enjoy the glorious countryside literally outside of your door then you can. I don't normally write reviews but this is an exceptional cottage in a beautiful location and deserves 10/10

Our first trip to Bilsdale and the North York Moors for about 12 years, and the first for our children.

We found and booked Wood cottage and are so glad that we did !! The cottage was exceptionally clean and well prepared for our arrival, which included a lovely and thoughtful welcoming hamper of local goodies, and Easter eggs for the children. We found it very comfortable indeed and it had all we needed to be self sufficient whilst there. Amazing location on this working farm in the Cleveland Hills, with stunning views all around. The children met some new born lambs and we saw so much wildlife all around us. Nothing was to much trouble for our hosts Jo and Robert, thank you. Ideally located for any serious walkers to explore the area right out of the door. Plenty of attraction's for families & children not to far away. Fantastic local pubs for Sunday Dinner in Great Broughton and don't forget Whitby for Fish and Chips !! You will have Peace and tranquility at the cottage, and it's the perfect place to sit and unwind after a day of walking or exploring. We would definitely recommend this cottage and we would definitely return for another holiday in the future.

We had a brilliant week at Wood Cottage.

It is perfectly located to explore North Yorkshire and the cottage is well equipped and beautifully decorated. The cleanliness was incredible and it was a cozy comfortable spot to have lazy evenings after busy days. Jo and Rob who own the cottage on their working farm were so friendly and accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble and they were great to allow our daughter to help feed the sheep and cats. Highly recommend Wood Cottage to everybody it is great!

Beautifully appointed cottage in a lovely setting.

Highly recommended.

A wonderful cottage in an idyllic setting.

Robert and Jo always on hand with help, nothing's too much for them.

An amazing cottage with all required amenities and just so clean.

Easy to find and it is out in the countryside but not far away from townships of Stokesley or Helmsley. Plenty to do for a young children nearby or walkers for those interested in hill walking. For the children I recommend, Woldie lavender farm (lavender farm but has numerous activities for children, such as a maze that contains activities and much more), Bird of Prey Centre at Helmsley and Monk Park Farm. Cannot help but enjoy the holiday on this working farm.

A faultless and comfortable stay at Wood Cottage.

Equipped with everything you need for a peaceful and relaxing break. Cleanliness of cottage was spotless, quality of furnishings was excellent. Highly recommended!

We really enjoyed our stay here - even the weather was good!

Robert and Jo, the owners, were so welcoming and helpful, the cottage was comfortable and spotless, we could walk straight out onto the moorland from the back door. We'd be very happy to go back and would recommend the place unreservedly.

Wood Cottage is spotlessly clean, well maintained, and very comfortable.

It has quality and charm. Robert and Jo have put a great deal of thought into the cottage and equipped it as they would want to find a holiday home if they were renting. Despite being very busy on a working sheep farm just coming the end of the lambing season they made us very welcome, without being in any way intrusive. We really appreciated the extra touches, a basket of Yorkshire treats and fresh flowers in every room. It was peaceful, quiet and the perfect place to relax. Unlike a previous reviewer we had no problems at all on local lanes, and nor did we have any problems whatsoever with the track through the farm leading to the cottage or the parking area. The track is well maintained and there's ample space in front of the cottage for parking. In all, one of the best holiday homes we've ever rented. Thank you both!

Beautiful cottage in stunning location .

Immaculately presented by very welcoming owner. Quite the nicest we have stayed in- and there have been many!

We had a wonderful break at the cottage, only wish we had stayed longer.

The cottage was beautiful with everything we needed and more, I love the little touches, things like that make your stay that little bit extra special. The beds where very comfortable, we are now buying new pillows and possibly a new mattress as we sleept so well. The owners were very welcoming and accomadating, taking time out of there busy day to show us around the farm and introduce our girls to the baby lambs.....big hit they've not stopped talking about Bingo and Wriggles. Thanks again for a wonderful stay, we hope to return again after such a lovely break.

Wood Cottage is an outstanding property in a beautiful setting.

It is spotlessly clean, excellently equipped and a real home from home. It was a joy to return to the relaxing comfort and wonderful views after a day enjoying the surrounding countryside. Could not recommend more highly.

A gorgeous holiday cottage - spotlessly clean, comfortable and well equipped.

Beautiful views from the house and a lovely quiet location - with lots of nearby walks. Plenty of places to explore in the area. Robert was really welcoming and friendly, and we really appreciated the basket of food treats left for us to enjoy! We will definitely be back :)

Lovely cottage, a great place to escape to if you want peace and quiet.

It would be fun to return to when the farm is at "work", sheep and lambs etc. Even watching the turkeys pottering about (being silly birds) over morning coffee was fun! Cottage was clean and comfortable, and the owner, Robert, was always on hand to help or just chat. One minor point. The mats on the twin bedroom floor were rather slippery, and could be a hazard without special care.

The cottage is immaculate, everything you could possibly need is provided for.

Robert is always on hand if you need help with anything. The perfect Host. Can only highly recommend this cottage and place for a super holiday.

This property is situated in the most beautiful location.

Perfect for walking and sightseeing. The cottage is decorated to such a high spec and oozes quality and consideration from the Denby crockery to the fresh flowers and free goodies. Every little detail has been thought out. I can’t recommend this place enough.

Perfect cottage in a perfect setting, very well equipped, incredible scenery, plenty of wonderful walking, cycling straight from the door.

The farmer made us most welcome and was very helpful and informative. We enjoyed interacting with the very friendly sheepdog and seeing the other farm animals. Highly recommended!

We have very much enjoyed our fourth stay in this spotlessly clean, well designed, beautifully furnished, decorated, equipped and located cottage.

As ever, a very warm welcome from Robert, complemented by the vase of fresh flowers and welcome basket of goodies. Despite having a working farm to run, Robert never failed to prioritise our comfort and well-being and checking that all was well. The cottage has been a huge contributor to a lovely week’s holiday.

What a fantastic view from property.

The main thing that hits you is the total silence apart from the odd animal noises. The road to and from the farm is narrow single track with passing places, we are from Lincolnshire so used to it, the track to the cottage is bumpy and I found that turning in farm fard and reversing through cottage gate was the best way. If your from less rural areas should slow down and enjoy views from lefthand side road when out traveling and be prepared to give way to farm vehicles. The walks are hilly, some are close by and some 5-15 minutes away they are rewarding though , the pubs are local 4 between 1/2 and 6 miles, a little pricey but good but rewarding resting and the real homebred locals are so friendly,

Everything was excellent

Excellent cottage.

Everything you need for a great holiday. Lots of attention to detail. Lovely welcome basket and fresh flowers in the rooms, very nice touch. Very friendly owner and his four legged friend Trixie was entertaining

Fantastic cottage!

It was extremely clean and well equipped as well as being in a beautiful location. The owner was very friendly and helpful - we would definitely return.

Wood Cottage was among the best cottages we have stayed in over many years.

A friendly welcome from the owner, a perfect setting and lovely walks without getting in the car. Definitely a Great Escape!

As we already said: perfect lovely cottage, owner paid attention to details, much appreciated.

Beautiful surroundings. We will come back!

A lovely cottage to stay in.

It is super clean and well cared for, with good facilities. It’s so very peaceful with far reaching views, and you can’t help but relax! The owner Robert is very informative and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. It is the sort of place that warrants a return! A little gem.

Was the best place we've been scenery all round wildlife to so relaxing Robert the owner was brilliant full of information would go back will recommend to everyone

We really enjoyed our stay at Wood Cottage helped by having warm sunny weather.

The cottage is very well located, equipped and maintained. The host was very friendly and helpful. A perfect relaxing break for my wife and I.

An excellent property, apart from beautiful surrounding countryside.

Very clean inside and owner made us feel nothing was too much trouble. Would visit again if we get the chance.

This is a top-quality cottage in a delightful situation with a friendly and helpful owner.

I would totally recommend it

Absolutely wonderful property.

The owners were fabulous and the cottage perfect. Its locations is stunning.

We had a great holiday here, everything was catered for with a warm welcome from the owner.

Cottage was super clean and well equipped. Highly recommended.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wood Cottage.

The most peaceful beautiful setting and we felt cosy and comfortable. We were made to feel so welcome by Robert who made us feel very much at home. Our daughters loved seeing the lambs and other animals. Amazing stay and we will go back!

Lovely cottage in a beautiful setting.

We’ll equipped and very clean, it is just like the online photos. Would definitely recommend as a base for walking in the local area, exploring further afield and just relaxing enjoying the cottage, views and tranquility.

A lovely cottage in a beautiful location, Robert & Jo couldn’t have made us more welcome.

Plenty to do with wonderful walks and places to visit, nearby pubs offering quality food and drink, all in all a very enjoyable week.

Excellent location, beautiful setting, very comfortable cottage and very helpful owner all key ingredients that gave us a wonderfully relaxing holiday.

The welcome pack was very generous and the best one we have ever had.

Enjoyed a great week at Wood cottage.

Very peaceful and relaxing.The house was very clean,comfortable, and covid safe. Robert(the owner) was very welcoming and on hand if we had any issues which we didn't. We would love to return to Wood cottage in the near future. Thank you for putting in all the effort to make our stay so enjoyable.

Wood Cottage is exceptional in every way.

The upside down layout works very well, and is tastefully furnished and very comfortable. The welcome basket was very generous in size and content. Robert and Joanne were perfect hosts and one of the nicest couples we have ever met, and we look forward to returning to Wood Cottage in the near future.

I can’t emphasise what a great holiday we had in Wood Cottage.

Our hosts could not have been nicer even if the dog is a bit bonkers! Set in the most glorious countryside we have vowed to revisit.

Wood Cottage was amazing!

From the magnificent views to the beautifully decorated contemporary interior. There was everything needed for a break away . The cottage was extremely well equipped, there was even a breadmaker! The hosts were very helpful and the welcome pack was the best we have ever had. We would recommend Wood Cottage.

Wood cottage is just magical, a peaceful little haven.

The owner, who runs a very busy farm, is very helpful and always on hand to offer help and advise. This is our 4th visit and we will be visiting again.

What a beautiful cottage and area, so very peaceful.

We were greeted by Joanne, cake, a bottle of wine and Trixie (sheep dog) and made to feel very welcome. The cottage was exceptionally clean and well equiped and comfortable. I will now have to get a new bed at home as I slept so well. Easy to get to places of interest - Robin Hood's bay, Whitby ( advise to use park and ride), Lord Stones Park (amazing views), Ripon, Stokesley and many more. A very restful holiday.

A beautiful cottage in a really lovely location.

The owners could not have been more thoughtful or kinder: from the generous welcome pack of goodies, to the gorgeous bunches of flowers in every room to rushing out with cushions when they saw us sitting on the wooden garden seats. For all that they were not in any way intrusive. An issue with the fridge was dealt with immediately and Robert offered to transport my husband (who is not very mobile) around the farm on one of his all terrain vehicles. Cottage well equipped and spotlessly clean, my neurotic questions about how Covid secure things were were answered promply and in a reassuring way before we arrived. I could go on ... and on... but it was a really magical week and our teenagers loved it too. Thank you Robert and Jo-Anne. Thank you Sykes.

A beautiful clean cottage, decorated and furnished to a high standard and a great welcome by the hosts.

One of the best stays we have ever had. Good WiFi despite the remote location was a bonus! Highly recommended.

Wood Cottage is a fantastic holiday home.

One of the cleanest holiday homes we’ve ever stayed in. So comfortable and furnished to a very high degree. The owners, Robert and Jo-Anne are great hosts. It was the little touches that made it so special. Fresh flowers in bedroom and lounge plus cookies, cake and wine left for us. Could not recommend highly enough.

Absolutely fantastic thought at first a bit isolated but it was perfect the views were heavenly and the owners were great.

Certainly knew you had a holiday it was really great the wildlife was great we didn't need to go anywhere else it was so relaxing would definitely go again.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location.

Fantastic hosts who care about the people staying there. Really really good place to stay with amazing walks on the doorstep. We stayed for 3 weeks and we didn't want too leave. Loved it.

Brilliant cottage in a lovely location.

Very clean & everything that you would need in a self catering cottage. The cake on arrival was hugely appreciated & we all thoroughly enjoyed it! Owners were very friendly, as were the sheep, ducks, turkeys & sheep dog.

Stunning location, welcoming hosts, very clean, cosy and comfortable.

Very welcoming hosts who were v generous with the delicious cake, bread, eggs and wine.

Lovely quiet location. Very comfortable cottage in which to relax. Great part of the world.
