It was lovely to be greeted with fresh flowers. The sitting area was very comfortable and cosy. We found the mattresses to be very comfortable to sleep on. The general cleanliness of the cottage was very good. We feel there are some issues which could be improved: The pillows provided were not comfortable and on closer inspection they were very dirty and stained. The duvet in the master bedroom was also old and in need of being replaced. The wardrobes and drawers in the rooms are not suitable for putting clothes in as they smell musty and made clothes smell musty too. There is a clothes line but it is located where the pigeons assemble and therefore the line is covered in bird poo. Plus it is in the shaded area and we feel it would be more useful to have a clothes horse which could be placed indoors or outdoors when the sun is shining. There were clear instructions how to use the top stove but we would have also liked instructions how to use the oven as the markings on the knobs are worn.

“Hi we had a lovely stay at The Old Coach House, the building was lovely, inside is in need of updating the curtains are very old and need replacing, the bathrooms need revamping and it would benefit from a shower over the bath in the twin room.”

The bedroom furniture drawers smelt musty so we could not put our clothes in them. The beds very very comfy. The property is described as having a garden but it does not it has a graveled courtyard. (It would also be nice if there was a greeting pack of milk tea/coffee and sugar) even if there was a small charge for it.

“Brilliant spacious atmospheric cottage”

This is a lovely cottage, extremely well renovated by the friendly owner. The village is a good base for loads of excellent walks and is itself worth spending time in - not to speak of the nearby forest walks, stately homes, gardens, and other places of interest.

“We love This place!”

This lovely cottage is really comfortable and ideal for less abled people as it is all on one level. All rooms are nicely decorated and plenty of towels provided in the bathrooms. There is parking and also a small seating area outside where you can catch the sun. We have been here before and would return. It is in a quite location a short distance from the village centre (which can get quite busy) and so its peaceful and not on a main road. I dont want to make it sound too good otherwise I will not find a free week next year to book again.

“Spacious, relaxing, great location and warm welcome”

The welcome was friendly and relaxed. The converted barn was very spacious and the beds really comfortable. We had everything we needed (except that we forgot to bring towels and had to buy some). Apart from needing a new set of saucepans, the barn was well equipped. The furniture and some utensils are a bit old fashioned, but this added to the charm. The location was absolutely fabulous, just a roll on your bike downhill to Thornton-le-Dale, really close to the Dalby Forest and easy traveling distance to the dramatic North Yorkshire Moors and stunning coastline. A fantastic place to stay for an action packed family holiday. We would love to come back.

“Very enjoyable stay”

We enjoyed our stay in Thornton-le-Dale. The area was very quiet. The cottage was clean and tidy, very fresh looking. All was comfy, beds, settees, etc.

“Great place to stay”

A very immaculate 2 bedroom property everything is of the highest standard a credit to the owner. Thornton-le-Dale is very picturesque village and is an ideal place to tour the West Yorkshire Moors only 2 miles from Pickering and well worth a steam train ride across the Moors is also nicely position for visiting Scarborough Filey Briddlinton and the coast we would not hesitate in returning in later years.

“Very relaxing comfortable and welcoming place to stay”

We really enjoyed our stay at the property Ref 1754 at Thornton le Dale. It was very relaxing and comfortable. The only problem we had was my mother being disabled she had a problem going up and down the step to and from the kitchen. The bedrooms were very comfortable and peaceful. We found Thornton le Hole very pretty and laidback and would deffinatly return. We would recomend this property to anybody who would like a base to stay while traveling the North York Moors and surrounding area.

A delightful, stone-built, detached barn conversion, set in a peaceful location in the picturesque village of Thornton-le-Dale, 2 miles from Pickering.

Decorated and equipped to a high standard, the property offers spacious and comfortable accommodation which has been carefully renovated to retain much of the original charm and character, boasting vaulted ceilings, beautiful exposed beams and a superb open plan living area.
