The Old Police Cottage Reviews

Leslie

The Old Police Cottage is a lovely, quirky and cosy place to stay, so handily placed for the villages many pubs. The hot tub takes a bit of getting in and out of as it's quite snuggley fitted into the small yard but overall a very enjoyable stay.

Julie

We loved our break at the Old Police Cottage. The property was spotless and beautifully furnished. We were able to walk to lots of places without the need to use the car.

From arriving at the cottage and leaving after a lovely couple of nights, we were greatly impressed and thoroughly enjoyed our short break. The beautifully furnished and immaculately clean cottage, the little touches like the hamper - which included doggy treats, and dressing gowns for the hot tub to name just a few, the location and the friendly lRead moreocals, all went to making our stay a wonderful time. Thank you to the owners who have obviously put a lot of attention to detail in the cottage. Hide

Peter

Lovely cottage. Very clean. Everything you need.. bed was very comfortable. Location very quiet with a couple of nice pubs and restaurants to hand.

Sarah

This is a lovely, clean little cottage amid gorgeous local amenities. Locals were about the most friendly of all the places I have travelled. There was a surprise Welcome Basket which was warmly received. We contacted the hosts in advance to check that Pets Welcome could include a cat and she settled in very well.

Theresa

This cottage is a delight. Plenty of home comfort and a generous basket of goodies on arrival to boot. Double bed is wonderfully comfortable so sleep is easy. Nice little high street with cute shops all in walking distance. Despite all the recent rain the river opposite was flowing lovely and showing no signs of potential flooding.

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It is well situated in the village for shops ,pubs and restaurants. The cottage is a bit small regarding the bath room and kitchen, but it still a nice place to stay. The back yard is very small if you have a dog. A good welcome pack. The cottage has a very good heating system, we were never cold, plenty of hot wRead moreater. Hide

Mark

Great location for all village amenities. Compact and comfortable cottage with plenty of storage for your clothes. Lovely Welcome Pack was a nice touch.

Diana

Very clean, modern little cottage but some rooms a bit tight for space (mainly kitchen and bathroom). Great location for all amenities and lovely walks, however, no outside space at all besides hot tub!

Mark

A beautiful, characterful and cosy cottage - an ideal getaway. The hot tub is great, as is the bath - relax! Well-equipped kitchen, but if you don't fancy cooking yourself quality food and drink are just minutes of a walk away.

Robert

We had a fantastic week at "The Old Police Cottage". The cottage was comfortable and made an excellent base for exploring the area. We had a few queries with the property owners before our holiday and they responded very promptly and were very informative. The village of Great Ayton was much nicer than we were expecting with plenty of pubs and placRead morees to eat at or take away. There are many lovely neighbouring towns and villages to see, both inland and along the coast. We would recommend. Hide

Stephen

My wife and I stayed The Old Police Cottage in Great Ayton as a "last minute booking" for 4 nights. The hosts were very informative before arrival recommending old sorts to do from local walks, pubs and restaurants, and places to visit locally and all of this information was very useful to us. The cottage was very clean ideally sized for 2 people, had the added bonus of the hot tub to relax at the end of each and was in a great location in the centre of the beautiful village of Great Ayton.

Garry

Great cottage in a great location. Would stay here again

Anthony

the cottage was just perfectly located for us to go out for meals and lovely walks, the cottage was clean and well equipped for us to enjoy our stay, thanks we enjoyed our break.

Glenice

Lovely cottage and would recommend this. Fully equipped and very clean. Laura was most helpful, nothing too much of a problem. Will return. Thanks

Carly

A lovely well equipped cottage in nice village with interesting history, short drive to beaches, plenty of local shops/cafes/pubs all really friendly and serving great food and drink.

Craig

A lovely cottage, located in a beautiful village. The cottage has everything you need and there are some lovely eating (and drinking) places within a short walk, along with nice local shops. Great Ayton is in an ideal location for exploring the surrounding area, with Saltburn our favourite. Good communication and helpful advice from our hosts, incl uding a nice welcome hamper.

Gary

The cottage is quite small and has very limited outside space but on the whole it is very comfortable, tidy and pleasant. The village is lovely and has everything you need within an easy 5 min walk. The owners also shared some great tips for food, drinks and local placed to visit which was a lovely touch.

Kenneth

The cottage is lovely and well equipped. The hot tub clean and cosy for two people. The village is good with local amenities available. Nice walks and dog friendly in some public houses. Not too far to get to the coast. Saltburn by the sea is worth a visit. Great big long sandy beach and dog friendly.

Nigel

Beautiful little cottage in a beautiful idyllic part of the country

Susan

Despite the few comments above (which are easily rectified) this is a cottage of a high standard - very attractively presented with all important mod-cons!. Great Ayton is a really nice place with good facilities and close to several attractive areas to visit plus the opportunity for many walks in glorious country-side. I would definitely recommend this holiday cottage and may well use it again.
