The Cottage Reviews

We had a relaxing stay in this cosy cottage situated on a quiet lane in the village. Made to feel welcome by owners who are on hand if anything is needed. We took our dog who loved the large garden which is where the hot tub is but a private enclosed yard with a pretty sitting area is also provided directly from the back door of the cottage. We would return as miss hot tub and comfy bed already!
Lovely property, exactly as described and the perfect hosts! Very friendly, offered some lovely day out options and were very welcoming.
The cottage itself was absolutely lovely nice and clean lovely welcome gift as ... The cottage itself was absolutely lovely nice and clean lovely welcome gift as it was Christmas, what really let it down was that you had to park on a grass verge which is not good in the winter and also for a dog friendly cottage until we got there the back garden was completely open so could not let dog off of lead which I feel should be in the cottage description this is the first dog friendly cottage we have had over the last 10 years with Sykes that you can't let your dog out on its own
Richard
Lovely cottage with everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Owners greeted us and explained everything we needed to know, most importantly how to get the log burner going and how to work the hot tub
Annette
The carpet in the lounge had lots of hair possibly dog on it and as we had a toddler with us it wasnt ideal. The hot tub appears to be 2 gardens away which is at the back of the owners home, therefore not giving you total privacy. There was no light to the hot tub in the dark and there is a small step as you walk along the path to which I stumbled off. The location is lovely and quiet and central for visiting other locations.
Lovely owners, great place
Lovely cosy cottage, hot tub was hot and roomy, comfortable beds, wood burner was perfect, could do with some trays for the oven and a chest of drawers in the bedrooms would have been better as nowhere to put anything, bedside cabinets not ample enough, other than that cannot fault the property and landlordlady, would definitely recommend.
We had a lovely stay here for a week as a family of four. The cottage was clean and comfortable, parking was easy and the location was excellent for exploring the local area. The kids enjoyed using the hot tub and the owners are friendly and on hand being just next door. Only a couple of minor improvements would make this cottage better it's own dedicated WiFi rather than sharing from next door which has patchy coverage and is quite slow, and also some extra coat hangers in the wardrobes as there is limited storage upstairs. Overall we had a very pleasant stay and would be happy to return
Lovely cottage which suited our needs. Being clean and comfortable and close to the coast supported our chilled and relaxed holiday. The hot tub was fantastic. The bee hive in the insecure garden were both issues for my young dog, but I really should have checked garden security before booking. Tim and Sam were excellent hosts, proving everything we needed whiist remaining unobtrusive. The lovely dog friendly village pub provides meals and is a short walk away. A lovely stay in a quiet and peaceful location.
We spent a lovely relaxing weekend here, the hosts were very accomodating without being intrusive and the hot tub was the biggest I've been in. Beds were comfy and location was excellent for visiting the surrounding coastal resorts. Would highly recommend and would book again in the future.
A lovely little cottage, cosy and clean. The owners have ensured everything you may need is in the cottage. The hot tub is a great size. We will definitely be returning! Great stay
Loved the property. Clean, comfortable and great location for exploring neighbouring seaside towns. Hot tub was also an added bonus. Would definitely come back to this cottage again. Can also highly recommend the local pub in Kilham village.

Superb cottage. Clean and nicely furnished. Log burning fire and hot tub a bonus. Hosts live next door but are unobtrusive but very nice people. Village attractive and can walk to pub in 8 mins. Drive to Nice beaches in 20 mins. Highly recommended.
Katherine
Lovely clean property with great hosts and the bonus of a hot tub, in beautiful Yorkshire.
Richard
Everything was spotless when we arrived. The cottage had everything we needed. The hot tub was great and having a real fire was a nice bonus which made the place lovely and cosy. Our hosts were easy to contact as they are just next door when we needed a couple of small things sorting.
Excellent cottage in lovely village. Great pub too. Only there for 3 nights but thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Pam was very warm and welcoming, letting us enjoy our stay in their lovely cottage with an amazing hot tub.
We've had a warm and comfortable stay. We were provided with everything that was needed and the host was very friendly and kind. Had a good time. Thank you very much
Robert
Very clean and comfortable cottage with a wood burning stove and the added extra of a hot tub for relaxing
Robert
Lovely cottage with excellent hot tub. Pam and Tim, the hosts were friendly and helpful and made sure cottage was spotless before we arrived, even fogging the premises to prevent any covid problems. The cottage is situated ideally for visiting coast and countryside. Unlike some cottages every utensil imaginable was provided in the kitchen. We all enjoyed ourselves especially my mother who celebrated her 88th birthday on the day of our arrival. Thanks again.
Enjoyable stay in a cozy cottage. Owners and locals very friendly. Nice local pub. Nice area and beaches to explore.
Owners are lovely and live next door. They leave a lovely arrival package of milk, tea, coffee. Wifi didnt work but it make a nice break from being on your phone and spending time with your familyfriends. Hot tub is amazing! The beds a super comfy and the whole cottage is thought out really well. I would definitely return if in the area.

Beautiful little cottage, fabulous hot tub, Tim & Pam very helpful

Deirdre
Beautiful, well equipped and cosy cottage in an idyllic rural setting. 10 minutes walk to country pub which also served delicious food. Within easy reach of the coast and some lovely market towns. Hosts were extremely helpful yet unobtrusive. The hot tub was a lovely bonus. Overall we had an amazing week at The Cottage and hope to plan a return visit soon.
Wonderful location, wonderful hosts, fantastic cottage, plus a lovely hot tub to soak away the aches and pains acquired touring this beautiful part of the country.
Jennifer
Warm welcome. Clean, warm and comfortable cottage ideally located for visiting the east coast. Hot tub is spacious and despite Storm Dennis we managed to relax in daily after lots of walking. We left a pair of walking boots and owners contacted us to arrange collection thanks.
Isiasha
Absolutely amazing hosts, couldn't be more helpful. Wonderful people. Myself, the children and my pomeranian Bear had a great time. The cottage was cosy, clean and well equipped. The hottub was fun, well placed and a great added extra. The fire brung a real cosyness and the selection of games and dvds went down well with the children. We cooked every night and didnt fail to find anything we needed for food preparation. The kitchen had everything. We visited Scarborough, York, Filey, Bridlington and had some lovely scenic drives. 1010 Best cottage we have ever stayed in

What a wonderful place we had such a lovely weekend away. Came back home all chilled out beds where so comfortable spotlessly clean and fantastic welcome
Lovely cottage, lovely and quiet. Bed was a bit firm for us but we moved into the twin beds which were very comfortable. Hosts were fabulous very kind and helpful.
Lovely cottage great countryside location. Walking distance to lovely pub with great food and dog friendly beach was only circa 15 min drive. Really enjoyed the hot tub and garden was really nice for bbq. Owners lovely and nothing too much trouble. Even suggested local gym for my daughters to use.

Betton Farm Visitor Centre - TF9 3PS
about 13 Miles
Betton Farm Visitor Centre is the ideal attraction close to the North Yorkshire coastal town of Scarborough. This animal farm has all the cute farm animals you would expect to see and will appeal to younger children especially.  A great place to both play and learn we think the Betton Farm Visitor centre is great value for money.  Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs.  Some of the highlights of the day might include meeting Sofie the Shetland Pony and Henry the goat, as well as the pot bellied pigs called Porky and Hammy. 
Peasholm Park - YO12 6QQ

This attraction is ideal for sunny days as the beautiful park is ideal for wandering out and taking in the scenery.  You can hire boats including rowing boats and canoes to enjoy the views from the water.  The pedalos with the dragon heads are always a popular choice too.

Located in Harwood Dale Village, North Yorkshire we think this attraction makes a superb family day out and couples will also enjoy the nature walks in the area.  There are 6 nature walks in total surrounding the farm so walkers and lovers of the outdoors will be in their element. Some of our favourite walks include the Spring Flowers, Pond and Village walk which takes around 35 minutes, and the Meadow and Trees walk which takes one hour.
Flamingo Land - YO60 7EW
about 20 Miles
Situated in Malton in North Yorkshire this has to be one of our favourite family days out.  It's a theme park and zoo all in one stretching over a massive 400 acres. With thrilling rides for the very daring like Cliff Hanger, Corkscrew and Kumali, there are also more gentle rides for the little ones such as Frog Hopper and Helitoys.  Family fun attractions include the 4D cinema, the lost river ride and the Little Monsters Den of Mischief. Check out their website for seasonal events which take place throughout the year and you can also gain more information about the zoo.  Flamingo Land is a resort as well as a theme park so you can also book accommodation there.
