“Disappointed with a couple of things.”

In the bathroom adjoining the double bedroom, there was no hand rails and no towel rails on which to dry the towels. Also the floor of this bathroom got very wet when using the shower due to high pressure. The other twin bedroom had no hand rails in the bathroom either. We also had an issue with having no TV for a couple of days. I did contact the owner who said there wasn't a signal due to hot weather !! Some of the crockery in the kitchen was chipped. On the night that it rained we also had a leak in the kitchen ceiling/roof. Puddle on kitchen floor in the morning. Otherwise everything else was fine. It was clean and comfortable.

“This was a large, spacious property in a good location with ample parking.”

It was also warm and had plenty of hot water. However we were disappointed with a number of things. The cottage was tidy but not particularly clean. On arrival, the kitchen table was dirty and the grill pan hadn't been washed. The fridges were both smelly with one having mould along the door seal. The old furniture had a fusty smell and so we didn't hang our clothes in the wardrobes. The bathroom in the main bedroom was also smelly, with a damp carpet, peeling walls and damaged shower screen. We had hoped to cook several meals but were unable to do so due to the oven and hob not any having numbers or symbols alongside the knobs. After a heavy downpour the roof also leaked (in the kitchen). Very disappointing accommodation.

Nice cottage, could do with extra light in bathrooms, especially for shaving, also as it sleeps four just having four plates and bowls is not enough and a couple more pots and pans would be good

“Cottage was lovely and comfy , owner met us with key , fresh flowers which was a nice touch , lovely area to stay in , overall everything and more we needed in cottage had a great week .”

“The Old Coach House is set in a quiet lane a 10 minute walk from the centre of picturesque Thornton - le - Dale.”

The coach house has been renovated to a high standard, is clean and comfortably furnished. The only negative was that the ensuite bath room attached to the room with the double bed is in need of redecorating as the pain is peeling from the walls. The shower screen requires repair/fixing which the vendor informed us about on arrival. Also the lightening in this room is very poor and my elderly parents struggled to know whether the lights were on or off.

“The booking itself and everything thereafter in terms of admin was handled very well and the property was as described.”

We were aware there was no wi-fi and accepted that situation. However, we do feel that nowadays all properties should have wi-fi if it is practical to install a phone line as it would have been here. Quite apart from being able to keep in touch while away should one wish to do so, it also makes it easy to research places to visit, check opening times and so on. Admittedly there was a good 3G signal but one of our party had reason to want to use online banking and using the public system isn't ideal. We would have been happy to have paid a little extra to have had the facility. We were also slightly surprised that there was no visitors book. The comments of previous visitors can, in our experience, be very helpful sometimes in terms of recommendations of places to go, places to eat and so on. These comments aren't, I stress, intended as any criticism but simply as suggestions as to how the experience of visitors to the property might be enhanced.

“We felt that although the setting was lovely and overall the accomadtion was comfortable.”

It was missing some items in the kitchen such as a measuring jug and scales. The lighting in both bathrooms was close to inadequate. For example the lighting in the double room en suite meant it was difficult the shave. The paint is flaking off the walls in the bathroom which I expect is due to damp. The toliet in the twin room wasn't very stable.

“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.

“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.
