The cottage is excellent and is the best equipped cottage weve ever stayed in. Its very peaceful (except for the 4:30am alarm courtesy of the cockerel) but thats to be expected if youre staying on a working farm. The surrounding area is beautiful with lots of walks and stunning scenery. The nearest shop is 10 miles away but all the roads are very gRead moreood and the cottage has a full size freezer. The owners are available every day should you need them and wed certainly return. Hide

Wow, what a lovely cottage, it was so peaceful and was lovely seeing the animals in the fields..The cottage was well equipped and very spacious, we all really enjoyed our stay here. Scarborough/Whitby are only an hour drive away, and there are plenty of walks close by. I would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Overall a lovely cottage in a beautiful location. Biscuits, eggs, milk and prosecco very appreciated! Very clean and plenty of room. Son loved the horses and his chat with Derek, lovely watching the ducks taking their babies for a walk, our dog quickly got use to the sheep in the next field and lots of cats around. Only issue we had was the 4am wakRead moree up call from resident (& other) cockerel despite keeping the windows in the very warm bedrooms closed. Hide

An amazing family barn conversion set in the heart of the Yorkshire Moors but with easy access to all the local sights. Beautifully maintained and we wanted for nothing. We were a party of six- 2 grandparents, two parents and two children. We have stayed in numerous holiday cottages over the years but this was the best in every way.
