“We all really enjoyed our stay at Danby Cottage.”

It was so cosy and very well equipped. We spent lots of time chilling out and enjoying the facilities the cottage had to offer. The cottage was in a beautiful location and was really peaceful and private. It was really convenient and easy to get to Whitby and lots of other lovely locations. It was also good for trains and buses. We would definately stay here again. It was really reasonably priced and great value.

- Mr Somerfield, August 2019
“Could do with a new boiler and there was a lot of cobwebs but it is a lovely cottage.”

- Mrs Welford, August 2019
“A lovely cottage in a very pleasant setting.”

It was well equipped and comfortable. We felt the directions were a little vague as it said the entrance to the cottage road was opposite the miniature steam railway but by the time you could see the steam railway you had gone past the entrance. The garden was pleasant to sit in but would be improved by there being a more solid separation between Goathland cottage and Danby Cottage giving more privacy. Perhaps some climbing plants up the trellis? It would be nice to have had a spare toilet roll as 4 of us quickly got through the one that was there and a dishwasher tablet for every day of our stay would have been good. However we had a good holiday in Danby Cottage and would happily stay there again.

- Mrs Brown, July 2019
“Lovely cottage , a bit dated on the steep hill, great views.”

We had a great time and we were very lucky with the weather. I would like just to say that sign with direction to the cottage should be more visible and the road to the cottage is narrow and a bit steep .

- Mr Mebarki, July 2019
“Lovely cottage, very cosy.”

The kitchen is very well equipped with everything that you may need. The boiler is situated in a wardrobe in the single bedroom, it is unfortunately very noisy!! In the bedroom st the back of the cottage the radiator pipes seem to be very near to the floorboards and so squeak/creak loudly when you are walking past the radiator, this could in time crack the pipes? Overall a lovely holiday cottage in a beautiful setting.

- Mrs Roberts, December 2018
“We arrived in the evening when it was dark but after we had opened the door and turned the light on we where pleasent surprised how comfortable it looked and with tasteful Christmas decorations we felt immediately at Home.”

We had a small problem with the heating but Jenny our host was very helpful and got this rectified quickly,so this didn't detract from our experience. We loved our stay at Danby cottage and it felt like home. We want to thank the owner for her care and consideration, we couldn't find the visitors book to express our feelings but left a card. A little reminder change the batteries on the remote. Overall it was wonderful time and would recommend to our friends.

“I enjoyed my stay at Danby cottage and would recommend it.”

- Mr Rees, November 2018
“My second stay at this beautiful cottage.”

It’s perfect for a relaxing get away. Unfortunately can’t see me returning as the price for the same week next year has risen by more than 60%. Such a shame !!

- Mrs Straw, October 2018
“Perfect location and a real home from home.”

We had everything we needed. Would certainly recommend this holiday cottage - beautiful.

- Ms Forster, September 2018
“We had a lovely holiday in Danby cottage.”

It is set in peaceful & beautiful surroundings, perfect for a relaxing break. We were surprised but excited to see a wild deer cross our path on the drive up to the cottages. Danby cottage was cosy & welcoming with everything you might need. It was very clean and well-cared for with comfy sofas and beds. It is only a short drive from Whitby town centre and there is also a countryside walk of about a mile from Ruswarp into town if you fancy stretching your legs. We had a very enjoyable trip.

- Mrs Rogers, September 2018
“Lovely rural setting albeit up a steep hill but this gives fab views.”

Danby is among a group of what looks like old farm buildings made in to several smaller cottages. It is tastefully decorated and very clean with modern facilities such as wifi, washing machine, dishwasher etc. (The TV isn't going to last much longer.) I would've liked to see a visitor book with suggestions of where people have visited, restaurants etc. A nice little base for visiting the North Yorkshire coast and moors.

- Mrs Whittaker, September 2018
“We had a great time there it was very homely and very clean.”

We highly recomend it

- Mr Greenwood, September 2018
“Danby cottage was very clean, comfortable and cosy.”

Kitchen was well equipped and the cottage was well situated in a peaceful location close to the Moor and the coast.

- Ms Phillips, September 2018
“Lovely cottage set in a rural area but close enough to all u need.”

- Mrs Sharp, August 2018
“The hill up to the cottage was more than a slight incline it was very steep not ...”

The hill up to the cottage was more than a slight incline it was very steep not for the fainthearted to walk up,I only did it once had to use the car,and park it near the boating lake then either walk by the railway line which took us 35mins or catch the bus which ran every half hour,enjoyed our stay cottage was everything you could wish for

- Mrs Selby, July 2018
“This is a lovely cottage, very quiet and great for families.”

There were lots of extras to make the stay provided by the owners easy I.e kitchen roll, dishwasher tablets, dvds. We would be more than happy to stay again. The cottage is in a great location to explore however you need to be aware that the car is really needed as there isn’t much to do within walking distance of the cottage.

- Mrs White, July 2018
“Had a lovely time there hope to go again the scenery was lovely and nice and quiet great views”

- Stockdale, May 2018
“Everything provided including lovely large white fluffy towels!”

Comfortable seating and a lovely outside space, excellent.

- Mrs Davies, May 2018
“Lovely cottage with excellent facilities and plenty of kitchen crockery etc.”

Great location for travelling to local places.

- Mr Atkinson, April 2018
“We really enjoyed our stay.”

The cottage is lovely.

- Ms Brignall, April 2018
“ALL GOOD.”

- Ms Asbury, April 2018
“Such a lovely cottage with everything we needed to make our 5 night stay with two young children comfortable and extremely enjoyable.”

One suggestion which would have exceeded expectations would be the option to have a stair gate put in. Our 18 mth old is very quick so we had to watch him like a hawk. However we got around this but putting dining chairs at the top and bottom of stairs. Other than that the cottage and location was fantastic. Thank you.

- Mrs Wray, March 2018
“A very comfortable cottage with everything we needed for a brilliant week away.”

Well equipped, lovely and warm with plenty of hot water. Excellent location and very quiet, I imagine in the warmer months it would be lovely to sit outside in the evening. Cannot fault this cottage and would certainly return - hopefully soon.

- Mrs Wroe, February 2018
“A fantastic cottage.”

- Mr Fletcher, November 2017
“A comfy and well equipped cottage.”

Location great for us as we like to be a little off the’beaten track ‘. Short drive to Whitby. Had a perfect week. Would definitely visit this cottage again if it remains in our price range .
