Good location in typically small cottage. Close to many things and 45 mins from everywhere else. Good host and well appointed accommodation with a nice little garden for children to play in. Pub 50 yards away.

Fijne schone cottage. Gezellig ingericht met kachel. Rustig dorp met prachtige uitzichten en een goede pub/ restaurant. Hout, melk, eieren zijn in het dorp te krijgen. Prima startpunt voor dagtochten bijv York of Whitby. Door al het hoogteverschil in huis moet je echter wel redelijk goed te been zijn.

Three of us stayed in The Cottage for a week in September 2016 and had a really great time. We chose it over others we were considering because it looked more spacious and had a lot of character, and we did not regret our choice. Parking was really easy, always available just outside the door. The cottage was spotless, the shower was hot and strong, the kitchen was very well equipped and it was lovely to have a nice bit of garden too. The beds were really comfy and the seating in the lounge was just right to curl up in. We had a really warm welcome from Claire and a welcome hamper too (Im afraid the wine and biscuits didnt last very long!). The Royal Oak, just around the corner, had excellent meals (we ate there 3 times!) and it was nice to get back to a warm, cosy cottage. The village was so quiet we heard owls at night. Its location meant we easily visited the moors, Robin Hoods Bay, Castle Howard and even managed a trip to Edinburgh and back. There were plenty of leaflets with lots of information on local facilities, as well as Claires own information file, which was ideal. We would certainly consider staying again, and would heartily recommend it to friends and relatives.
