Mrs Bird
A really enjoyable stay and with wonderful views from the field across the road for walking the dog. I should imagine that it would be lovely in the warmer weather to sit there looking over the valley and out to sea. All rooms were beautifully decorated and very modern appliances. You may need to use your phone as a hotspot to boost the Wifi in the bedrooms, but it worked fine using this. Very hospitable host and we appreciated having a few things to start us off e.g. bin bags, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets etc. Take-aways can be found in Loftus and supermarkets near Saltburn both about 10-15 minutes away, but local Co-op was good, too. The games room was useful and we enjoyed doing the puzzles supplied. I would recommend accessing the cottage from the A174 end as the approach from the other side was very narrow and quite tricky in places. Overall, an attentive host and everything provided that you could need.

We have just had the most wonderful week staying at Willow cottage...from the second we arrived Nicky.. (owner)...was there to meet and greet us ..we had a little tour of the cottage and Nicky gave us all the info we needed...and some great tips on the visiting the surrounding area...the cottage is a total home from home...take clothing and toiletries...you will need nothing else...A perfect base for visiting the surrounding area ... you can be as action packed as you want but the location itself is so peaceful to return to after a day of adventure...My boys loved the games room...and my dog Bo loved her trips around the adjacent field...we saw deer and pheasants has we walked around...what a treat..!...I would recommend willow cottage in a heartbeat...and will definitely return...A beautifully clean super equipped cottage in an idyllic location....Thank you Nicky for your wonderful hospitality if I could rate you a million stars I would hope to see you again Darren Tina and family
