"What a great find."
The property is ideally situated for exploring the area. We were really happy with the standard of the property, it was very comfortable, had everything we needed and to say immaculately clean is an understatement!
It is clear a great deal of love and attention has been put into the cottage. The brilliant paintings and little quirks make it a special place. Julia and Michael could not have been better hosts and are genuinely lovely people. We will be back!

"Super clean and comfortable little cottage."
Michael and Julie are excellent hosts who really want you to enjoy the cottage. May Cottage is well placed for visiting many places without travelling too far and has a lovely pub The Coachman with good food just a short walk away. There are some pretty walks around the village. We are looking forward to revisiting soon.

"May Cottage is beautiful."
Everything clean and fresh. Lovely decor. Comfy bed (we used the back bedroom) super luxury bedding. The bathroom and power shower were fantastic. Very nice welcome basket was appreciated. Nice to have private parking and the enclosed yard looking out onto garden was lovely. The owners Julia and Michael were lovely and handy living next door. I loved this place and would stay again.

"May Cottage is a truly beautiful place to stay."
So much attention to detail and beautiful styling, a real pleasure to be in. Everything about this Cottage has been done to a very high standard and the result is a relaxing place to stay. The appliances and heating were simple to use and all instructions provided. The courtyard rear is a real sun trap and although small it is secure and private and even in March we sat outside and enjoyed eating Al fresco. The bed in the master bedroom is supremely comfortable, we did not use the second bedroom but everything about this Cottage is quality so I would imagine it would be of the same high standard as the master bedroom. The whole cottage was spotlessly clean. May Cottage has private parking which is a real bonus being on the high street. The Cottage is on the main road but noise is not an issue, yes you can hear the traffic but it just melts into the background and does not detract in any way from the overall lovely ambience of staying here. Micheal and Julia the owners live next door and they are a really lovely couple. On hand for anything if needed and a friendly Good Morning but never obtrusive. I would highly recommend staying at May Cottage as a base for any reason and would definitely book here again.

"May Cottage is a credit to Julia and Michael."
It was immaculate and the extra touches like the welcome basket and pumpkins for Halloween and fresh flowers were a lovely touch. We have stayed in various cottages but this was by far the most extra special.
The big beds were so comfortable and the shower so powerful. We look forward to visiting again in 2022.
Many thanks again

There was everything we needed and lovely owners Julia and Michael just next door, made sure we are OK. The property is located on the main road so easy to get to places in no time. We have also enjoyed lovely walks with our dog around Snainton.

"We loved our stay at May Cottage."
The cottage was spotless on arrival, spacious rooms and more than enough cutlery, and pots and pans so it is easy to have meals in. Smart TV was a bonus so we could watch Netflix on an evening! It is in a lovely location great for dog walks and not too far a drive to get to Scarborough, Whitby and Cayton Bay. Nearby pubs were nice. We have a nervous rescue dog who absolutely loved his stay he was so relaxed. Michael and Julia were so nice and we really appreciated the milk and welcome pack with tea bags ect on arrival, thanks so much for a lovely stay.

The cottage is superbly located to explore the North Yorkshire Moors & all it has to offer, and the East Coast is also easily accessible. The owners Michael and Julia are lovely, and always available if needed & are extremely knowledgeable about the area & further afield. The welcome basket provided is really thoughtful, right down to the milk in the fridge. This was our second visit to the cottage but definitely will not be our last.

"May Cottage is a lovely place to stay ."
It has been renovated to a high standard and decorated extremely tastefully ,preserving the character of the property with interesting up to date styling .
The cottage was spotlessly clean on arrival with care and attention to the covid requirements.
The owners are warm and welcoming and you genuinely feel that it is important to them that you have enjoyed your stay.
The outside space is small but means if you have a dog you can let them out safely .
It is a little sun trap with pretty plants.
The setting for exploring the area is prefect with lots to see and do and there are 2 pubs close by which is convenient and both are nice and friendly.
Thank you for a lovely week Kathryn, David and Shelby
