Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently describe the cottage as very clean and well-maintained, with several reviews specifically mentioning the cleanliness of the property. The high level of cleanliness contributes significantly to the comfort and enjoyment of their stay.
The location is frequently highlighted as perfect for exploring a variety of places, with easy access to both the moors and the coast. However, a few guests mentioned the proximity to a busy road as a downside, which slightly impacts the score.
The cottage is often described as comfortable and cosy, with special mentions of comfy beds and a homely feel. The presence of an open fire and central heating adds to the comfort, although a few guests noted that additional lighting could enhance the evening atmosphere.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the well-equipped kitchen and garden. Some guests suggested improvements such as additional plug sockets and bathroom aids. The mention of a welcome pack indicates thoughtfulness, but as it's not guaranteed, it's not factored into this score.
Many reviews express gratitude for the welcome packs and the owner's helpfulness, reflecting a high level of thoughtfulness. It should be noted that while welcome packs are often provided, they are a complimentary gesture and not guaranteed for every stay.

The kitchen is well equipped, the beds are very comfortable and the outside seating area and garden are fantastic, particularly for dog owners. We couldnât fault this property and hope to return.

Highly recommend! Just a short drive to Scarborough but enough out the way if you donât want to be central to the main towns. Cosy cottage with a lovely garden. The owner is lovely and is only a door knock away if you need ANYTHING. Had a lovely week here and a great holiday !
