The village charm and proximity to local attractions make it a desirable stay. While some guests mention areas for improvement, the overall sentiment is positive with many looking forward to returning.
The cottage received mixed feedback on cleanliness. Some guests found it clean and homely, while others noted dust, dirt, and mould in places. The presence of bird droppings on a window sill was mentioned more than once, suggesting a need for more thorough cleaning.
The location is highly praised for its beauty and convenience, offering fantastic views and a peaceful setting. The proximity to a village pub, cafes, and the North York Moors makes it an ideal spot for guests seeking both relaxation and exploration.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, noting the cosy beds and the warmth provided by the open fire. However, some guests mentioned that the cottage could be warmer and that some of the furniture and bedding could be updated for enhanced comfort.
The cottage is well-equipped with books, toys, and a large garden. However, guests have reported maintenance issues such as slippery paving stones, insufficient lighting, and a need for redecoration. The distinction between bathrooms and a separate WC was also a point of contention.
Several guests were delighted by thoughtful touches like a welcoming tray with cake and the provision of Netflix. However, it should be noted that such gifts are not guaranteed and may vary with each stay.

The house was very very dirty and Dusty in every room. The bedroom room furniture in one double room was appalling, it was old dirty and smelly, the bed was so old with thick dust under it, the rug was old and like a rag. The bathroom was disgusting, bath scratched, dirty and smelly. Windows through out the house were filthy. The hoover full of dirt to the top, hair all wrapped around the brush head, that hadn't been used for months.My husband had to clean it all out so we could use it to clean the place up. The back garden was awful , very dangerous and boxes of rubbish laying about that hadn't been put out for the dustbin collection for weeks, wheelie bins outside were full when we arrived and smelt really bad. I have stayed in hundreds off cottages but none in this condition before. I personally think it needs one hell of a deep clean. Where the cottage is situated is brilliant and looks lovely until you walk through the door. We couldn't open any of the windows because they had been painted over so you couldn't open them. I hope that this will be looked into and that you will get back to me. I know that people had complained about the cottage as we were told my people in the actual village. We paid good money to stay there and we were so disappointed.
