The surrounding area is ideal cycling country, with country lanes and trails to follow, while walkers will delight in the gently rolling hills of the Yorkshire Wolds. Nearby, Skipsea caters for everyday needs and has access to the coast and beach, whilst the traditional seaside town of Hornsea lies just seven miles away.

It offers a fine promenade, ornamental gardens and Hornsea Mere, the largest glacial lake in Yorkshire, where one can partake in watersports, fishing and boating.

Willow Cottage Reviews

The cottage and the hot tub were lovely, however, the mattress on the bedroom is so damaged, that we could feel all the springs poking through, to the point of being painful. We decided to leave the night before due to that. One other detail to take into consideration, if you only going for a weekend, bring your own bath rope these are only provided for week long stays or bring large towels, as the ones provided are just a tiny bit larger than hand towels, so you cant really wrap yourself to go in and out of the hot tub. I would definitely recommend the cottage and go back, if the mattress gets replaced as everything else was ok.
The cottage was well prepared and very clean we were met by Karen and Shaun who explained everything and demonstrated the hot tub. The cottage has everything needed in order to cook most meals, has a washing machine and dish washer. The property is attached to the owners house and is situated behind large wooden gates which provide excellent security. Car parking is in an open garage alongside the owners vehicle. A most enjoyable stay made so much better by the Karen and Shauns friendliness.

We stayed here August 2024 for our 1st wedding anniversary, we had an amazing week and felt relaxed. The property had everything we needed. The owners of the property are lovely and supplied the most amazing eggs from their chickens in the bottom of their garden. The hotub was an amazing addition to the property and was always warm. The property is situated close to most towns such as Hornsea and Bridlington and there is a lovely ice cream parlour not far from the property. Would defo recommend
Pamela
We loved our stay at Willow Cottage it was all what was described and more. Karen & Shane where perfect host's and could not do enough for us. Also, the Hot Tub was super. We would most certainly be going back for a quite and peaceful break. Keep up the good work both of you
What a little gem of a place one of the best we have stayed in from the moment we arrived we felt totally relaxed, the hot tub was excellent and we will definitely be back. Karen and Shaun thank you for your warm welcome you have a very special place.
Host where fantastic nothing was to much trouble place was great everything ... Host where fantastic nothing was to much trouble place was great everything there what was needed will definitely be back at some point in the future hot tub was a welcome bonus relaxing stay
Willow Cottage is lovely and well appointed, however as a 6ft tall individual I kept banging my head on the top of the door frame. Also the radiators were not hot enough on their own and needed the wood burner lighting to provide additional heat. As we were out and about every day we didnt want the hassle of cleaning it out and building it again each night so we didnt use it. The hot tub was very nice as were the owners.
Sherry
This was a wonderful place to stay. The cottage was a great size, with lots of room in each area. The kitchen was well stocked and the fresh eggs provided by the hosts were a lovely treat. We took advantage of having a hot tub at our disposal for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. We couldn't have asked for anything more! Karen and Shaun were warm and welcoming hosts. We highly recommend this place for a stay.
Carole

Mr Hoggard was an exceptional host and very attentive. The cottage was beautiful and had everything we needed, especially the hot tub, a well needed break for both of us, We would recommend a visit to Willow cottage, we will be back!
Loraine
A lovely cottage, spotlessly clean & very comfortable. Almost evrything you need for your break included fluffy towels, wash up liquid, dish washer tabs, tea bags, coffee & sugar, a pint of milk in fridge & chunky Fox's biscuits
Jonathan
Lovely beautiful cozy cottage! Friendly and welcoming owners , loved our stay and will defiantly return
What a lovely little cottage and a great couple who couldn't do enough to help. The hot tub was fantastic and cleaned every morning. The cottage it self was in a lovely quiet court yard with under cover parking. Around 10 minutes drive to Bridlington will definitely be returning
Amazing holiday. Hot tub and log fire definatly huge plus points. Owners are fantastic. Beautiful grounds including large pond and chickens. Very relaxing which we was looking for
We couldnt have been happier with this find of such a beautiful holiday cottage. Clean, quaint and very homely. The facilities are brilliant throughout. The owners are fantastic, very accommodating and polite. The hot tub was the reason we booked the cottage and its perfect, you can tell the owners take pride in keeping it clean as well as the cleanliness of the property. We were and still are so impressed with the cottage. Impressed that much that we have already booked again for next year, straight after our wedding as a pre honeymoon getaway. I seriously couldnt recommend this more to anyone!
We have stayed here twice now and we will be back again next year.
Had a great stay at this lovely well appointed cottage, Karen and Sean made us feel at home with a warm welcome and a big thank you for the complimentary items, the cottage is set in lovely surroundings which Karen and Sean told us to use as we wish, the cottage as everything and more you can wish for for a lovely stay wether it be a few days or weeks, we would highly recommend this to family and friends and will definitely return again.
Cheryl
Lovely little cottage, so peaceful and quiet. Had everything you could need. The hottub was perfect to relax, listening to the birds in such peaceful settings. The owners were very helpful if needed. Coastal settings 10 mins away in both directions.
Willow Cottage is just perfect fully equipped with all you could need as well as the wonderful hot tub. The hosts are the nicest couple, always helpful but giving you privacy. This is the second year in a row that we have been to the cottage, and we have already booked again for next year.
Lovely cottage, well stocked and equipped. Our first trip to the area and it wont be our last visit there is so much to see and visit. the owners are on site and are very friendly and helpful. overall one of the best holidays we have experienced,
The only minor issue we encountered was the water pressure in the kitchen was ... The only minor issue we encountered was the water pressure in the kitchen was poor and water didn't get hot so had to boil the kettle
Stephen
A lovely property and a very warm welcome from the hosts. Really enjoyed the hot tub!
Had really good time here, the hosts were very friendly and forthcoming. We were given a very informative tour of the cottage and facilities and were given a complimentary half dozen eggs, biscuits and milk which came in handy. The hot tub was brilliant and the cottage, you couldn't want for anything there was a dishwasher, washing machine and the kitchen as a whole was very well equipped. You have a covered parking space and also key safe near the door. I believe this is essential as I just don't like the idea of taking it with us when out. You are in a gated enclosed area which adds extra security. The one thing that was against us was the weather rain and high winds but we felt very safe and cosy and quite enjoyed being able to look out at the bad weather. All in all we had a great few days here as a base for exploring the surrounding area. Many thanks.
Deborah
Absolutely loved our Easter Break.
This property was excellent also our hosts were very down to earth and very very friendly
An amazing little cottage that has everything you could possibly need. Set in a quiet area to enjoy relaxing evenings in the hot tub. The hosts were just next door if you needed anything. They made us feel very welcome from the get go. We will definitely go back and would recommend this little place to anyone.
Perfect cottage with excellent facillities, great location. Very easy parking. Hosts were most welcoming and helpful. We couldn't have wished for more.
William
Property Excellent
Fantastic property. Very well equipped and sparkling clean. In a good quiet area, but only a short distance to seaside towns. Hot tub a bonus that was very large considering that the cottage was only two persons. Excellent hosts, who were very friendly. Would definitely recommend a visit.
The property was wonderful, the owners so helpful, the hot tub was amazing!
Rachael
We had a lovely stay thank you.
Leanne
Lovely stay. Just what we needed.
Beautiful cottage, everything you could need. Hosts were lovely. Want to keep it a secret but it's too nice not to share. We will be back
What a hidden gem! We were staying as our minimoon and throughly enjoyed our break. The hot tub was a real treat for us and the property was well equipped with all the modern features to make a stay worth while. The inclusion of some complimentary bits was a nice touch, and the owners were available for help but not overbearing at all. We have already recommended the property to others and would happily return ourselves.
By far the best relaxing and beautiful break we've had in years! Sean and Karen are lovely and so helpful. The cottage was quaint and exactly as described, the private hot tub was a dream and the seated area is amazing for the morning coffee. Thank you!
Lovely cottage everything you need. SHAUN and KAREN exellent hosts
Philip

about 20 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.

Scarborough Sea Life and Marine Sanctuary - YO12 6RP

If you are enjoying a lodge break in the Yorkshire Moors and Coast then a day trip to the Scarborough Sea Life and Marine Sanctuary highly recommended. This centre is one of the regions most popular attractions and is educational as well as fun. Visitors will enjoy a journey beneath the waves, meeting many strange, beautiful and fascinating creatures of the deep. As well as mighty sharks and beautiful rays guests can get up close to some more common creatures including star fish and can also meet the otters, seals and penguins at feeding time.

Located in the Scalby Mills area of Scarborough this makes a fun family day out for those who are interested in marine life.

You may also catch a glimpse of the tropical sharks and turtles. Offering good value for money this is a day out with a difference and an all weather attraction.
The Grainary Wildlife Farm - YO25 3HS
about 27 Miles
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.

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.
