We had an absolutely wonderful stay. Alex's holiday home was fully equipped with everything you needed for a stay. Takeaways and pubs just around he corner, great walks to take the dogs out. And don't let me to even start on the upstairs bathroom... TV and a jacuzzi bath add a fire to warm yourself up after a rather cold day and it all adds up to the wonderful short break. Hoping to return soon.

This was our second time staying at this property and we were not disappointed. The house is spacious, clean and the kitchen is well equipped. The bathroom was a highlight with the kids with a tv and jacuzzi bath which was well used after a days walking. The location of the property was perfect and the village is beautiful.

The property was clean and beautifully appointed. The location was excellent being so close to the town and some picturesque walks. We loved the cafes and especially the butcher's pork pies!! The host was responsive and ensured we had everything we needed. We hope one day to come back and stay again. Thanks.

We stayed over the Bank Holiday weekend with family that included various ages from 39 to 82, the house was perfect and accessible to all. It was very clean and the facilities were as listed. The house was in a great location in Great Ayton nearby nice pubs and restaurants. I can only mention the Roya Oak for the fantastic food and service and also the Stone Quarry pub for its service, ambience and cost. All in all this was a fantastic weekend in a great house and location.

Just returned today from the cottage, which was spotless, well equipped and in a lovely location. The whirlpool bath and tv in the upstairs bathroom was fantastic and the teenagers enjoyed the xbox. Hope to return sometime in the future!

This was a perfect location to visit our family. We live in the US. It had all the amenities needed. The shops nearby were convenient. Cozy cottage.

Having lived in the area some time ago, this was a trip down memory lane for us. We met the very helpful Anna on arrival, who manages the cottage with one of her brothers. This character cottage is lovely and perfectly situated alongside the waterfall within easy reach of a number of village shops, pubs, cafes and eating places. It is a great place if you enjoy long (and short) countryside walks - we even managed a beach walk from Marske to Saltburn. We would be very happy to book the cottage again. The amenities Hot Tub I would describe as a single spa or whirlpool bath in the bathroom.

House was great, as listed. Bunk room downstairs is quite small. Lovely spot by the river, the sweet/ice cream shop across the road was perfect for the kids, the butcher's round the corner does amazing pies. Enjoyed walks up Roseberry Topping and the Wain Stones

We visited from Australia and planned to see family and friends in the local area. Gt Ayton is easily accessible from the main highways and offered the facilities that we required, eateries and shopping, with an historic vibe that few other places can offer. The Old Forge is central with parking facilities. The house is large and could have slept 6 people easily. Two bathrooms made life easy. Kitchen was large and well set-up. A few basic provisions would be a nice touch for future guests. The garden next to the stream was a stunning spot to have breakfast and entertain visitors. We have stayed in several ABBs on this journey and this place was our favourite. We would definitely book again if we are back soon. Thanks.
