This little cottage is a perfect hideaway for peace and quiet. Set along many a narrow road, expect an exciting ride to get to it, especially if you arrive in the dark, but once you are there you won’t regret it!
Mark and Moya were the perfect hosts - great communication before our trip and were there to greet us upon arrival but at the same time, they left us alone unless we needed them.
During our stay we were toasty warm there was an unlimited and ample supply of wood in the cottage we only needed to ask if we ran out ( we didn’t and we had the burner on every night!) there is also central heating if you’re not into making fires.
The location of the cottage is perfect for a 30 or so minute trip to the coastal resorts (Robin Hoods Bay is beautiful) and about the same to Pickering or Helmsley.
There are plenty of supermarkets in these places too, I wouldn’t rely on the village shop, but it was useful when we needed a thing or two.
The cottage is in a beautiful setting and very well equipped with the promise that if you need anything else, you just have to ask. I honestly couldn’t think of anything else I needed. My advice would be do a good shop before you get there as once in, you won’t want to go anywhere! The owners provide you with a small quantity of tea and coffee to get you started, but I’d say make sure you pack extra!
Top tip: start filling the bath in plenty of time…who’s in a rush anyway when you’re on holiday? It’s just worth mentioning.
Thanks so much Moya and Mark for our week with you - we will be back!
