Crabtree Cottage Reviews

Michelle

A relaxing break in a beautiful cottage. We had everything we needed and thoroughly enjoyed the time at Crabtree Cottage.

Richard

Great cottage, very nice throughout, like home from home. Modern oven easily cook all week if needed, full size fridgefreezer, Clean modern and tidy. Great location off the beaten track in the countryside, so no traffic noises etc, slept like a log all week. Hot tub great to relax in with a beer after a day out. Scarborough and Whitby within easy access for fun days out. Lots of walking available if you have a dog and on that note beware there are sheep and horses outside the front door so keep your dog under close control and on a lead. Will definitely be booking again, great place to stay and relax.

Pauline

Lovely and spacious.

Beautiful location clean and cosy Well decorated and maintained. Hot tub was great too. And the bed was a delight to sleep in. Couldn't fault anything.

Overall the cottage was beautiful and very comfortable and great to come back to after a long day. The location was perfect for our requirements very peaceful and wonderful walks right outside the front door and then just a 10 minute car journey to Scarborough. Hot tub was wonderful although could do with being presented a little better ie canopy surroundings and courtyard could do with a spruce up. A shaver toothbrush point would be helpful in the bathroom. Think the track leading to the cottage should be mentioned as a bit of a bumpy ride, but having said that I would visit again and would highly recommend.

Rebecca

Had a lovely stay, the cottage was beautiful and could not fault. Quiet, clean and cosy. We will definitely return in the future.

Amazing, will definitely be coming back

It was so lovely the family were lovely respected your privacy but around if you needed them. Just perfect

Fantastic cottage and lovely owners. They put a lovely touch to the cottages for our 10th wedding anniversary. Amazing view and a lovely walk close by starting from the cottage. Comfortable bed and a very nice relaxing hot tub to end our days. Will definitely be back xx

Natalie

Lovely cottage and Dog friendly to a point as there is know where to let the dog out near the cottage as its a sheep and arable farm. Its is a long drive to nearest village

Lovely area. The cottage is quiet out of the way in the middle of nowhere if this something you like. Very clean and well equiped cottage. Very comfortable and lovely hot tub. Very thankful they let us stay an extra night. Only thing i would suggest is a comfier seating area outside for when its sunny. Will definitely recommend.

Absolutely stunning cottage set in some lovely surroundings. Only 4 miles from Scarborough but youd think you were in the middle of nowhere its that quiet and peaceful. The cottage is kitted out with really good quality utensils, bedding and furniture. The hot tub is spacious and really lovely to chill in at the end of the day. We had an amazing time and will defo be booking again.

Philip

Loved the facilities, open plan kitchen and living room was fantastic, jacuzzi topped it all off, Only one concern was when the the over head shower was on the drain over flowed .

Lovely cottage and owners. Very clean and everything you need. Great hot tub. We had a lovely stay. The only negative is the long bumpy drive way to get to the property.

Thank you so much for a perfect stay. Beautiful cottage, clean and very well equipped and we loved the hot tub. A beautiful peaceful setting.

We had a wonderful stay over the Easter Weekend. The cottage was clean, comfy and very spacious. The views and scenery were just beautiful, so peaceful and relaxing. Added bonus of having the use of the hot tub especially after being out walking. Location is good too, we visited Scarborough, Dalby Forest, Bridestones NT site. Thankfully the weather was bright and sunny so made the stay even more enjoyable. We had a small issue with the TV not working correctly, which Chris fixed for us quickly. All in all, a fab stay in a beautiful location. Friendly owners with 2x lovely dogs running around. Thank you for a lovely stay, we'd recommend Crabtree.Cottage and would stay again.

Great place to stay, very clean, tidy and comfortable. The hot tub was great and lovely views, best weekend away! Would definitely recommend.

Stephen

A lovely place to stay accommodation excellent only down side grass in front of cottage full of dog mess

Joanne

Beautiful cottage. Great location for visiting local area.

We had an amazing time at this well presented cottage. The pictures dont do it justice. We loved the hot tub and have enjoyed a more restful weekend There are so many places to go to from this location. Only 1 tiny dislike was we prefer bigger towels when showering but thats more personal preference. Overall 1010

A beautiful cottage with everything you need to hide away for a week, though the location perfect as lots of local places to visit if you want. We had such a good time and looked for availability to come back as soon as we got home! Thanks for a lovely week!

Lovely place , everything you need for a peaceful, perfect stay , don't have to travel far to enjoy some great walks with the dog . .. definitely recommend this property

Nichola

The property was lovely. Very quiet and had everything you need. Walks right from the door as long as you don't mind having a brown lab type dog barking at the back of your legs

Angela

The cottage itself is beautiful. Very clean and comfortable and so well equipped. Little touches such as milk waiting in the fridge and the treat of biscuits, tea and coffee on arrival were lovely. The cottage provides a wonderful hot tub, which we didn't get to try due to our own physical ability, but it is there as another wonderful extra touch. There is a long, bumpy, farm track to leading up to the property , but this is a working farm, and as long as you are aware of the access, not a problem. We enjoyed our stay and found our hosts friendly, welcoming and helpful .

Denise

This is the second time we have stayed at Crabtree and like the first time we found it lovely and relaxing. It is close to both off Scarborough's beaches and peasholm park plus within easy reach of Whitby & Robinhoods bay and in the other direction Filey and it's beaches.

Lovely converted barn in a very quiet surround. It has been done to a very good spec. Had a relaxing comfortable stay and would recommend. Little added touches of furnishings, games and books was fab. For us it was great, i would of liked an additional blanket or throw and maybe some larger towels. The only thing i would consider to advise people is the road to the cottage although well maintained is a long way on stones. You need to be able to either drive up this road or walk it to get to nearby walks.

Really lovely spot ideal for exploring both Yorkshire moors and coast

For the 2 of us plus the dog the cottage was lovely and well positioned for everywhere we wanted to go and visit. The kitchen and living room was spacious with everything you need, the bedroom was comfortable and the bathroom had the best shower. Was a real treat having the hot tub after being out all day. Couldnt fault it at all and would definitely stay ago if in the area.

Sandra

We had a lovely stay here. The cottage is lovely and very well appointed the owners of the cottage live on site as it is a working farm and they are a lovely couple very friendly and we felt really at home here. When we go back to the area again, we would definitely book this cottage. We wouldnt want to stay anywhere else. if youre looking for a lovely quiet place to stay, I can highly recommend crab cottage. I dont think anyone could fault it.

Graeme

Lovely place very friendly would definitely recommend

Kathryn

Immaculate and well laid out cottage in idyllic location. The hosts were very attentive to our needs and very friendly. We really enjoyed the comfort and peace thank you

Nothing could better, a credit to the owners.

We had a fantastic stay at Crabtree cottage. Very clean. Facilities all that you need. And the extra essentials eg milk dishwasher tablets and cakes even salt and pepper were a great extra. They let us use the field which was lovely for the dogs morning and evening stroll. Very quiet and relaxing location.

The cottage was quaint and very nice. Just as shown on the pictures but a bit too rural for me . The track down to the property is not the best and your car will be covered in dust as was mine. Be careful of the hot tub lid as the space around it is very private but the lid isnt like one Ive seen before and it almost fell onto my partners head as we sat in it. Not far away from Scarborough which was a bonus.

Olivia

Absolutely beautiful cottage and the location was perfect! The view is unreal and hot tub was great. The whole stay was absolutely brilliant it was everything it was advertised as and more. The owners left us with milk in the fridge and welcome muffins along with all the essentials tea coffee etc. Kitchen was very well equipped. I would say that If you visit with a dog who may be reactive to other dogs to be extremely careful as over the course of the 3 day stay we had 7 different dogs off the lead outside the cottage this is to be expected as is on a farm however did put us slightly on edge as our dog is reactive but we had no issues just double checked no dogs around before we let him out. All round fab stay.

Bethany

Really enjoyed our stay, would 100 be coming back. Thankyou
