Location perfect for our planned visit to North Yorkshire. Booked specifically for Hot Tub so that was used each evening.
Property cute and perfectly adequate but in need of some attention to cleanliness and decor looking tired. Light bulbs missing, paint chipped, back door would not lock securely. Some window frames rotting. Booking.com mentions dishwasher but none. Air fryer and sharp knives and scissors would be helpful. Towels too small (sorry real pet hate of mine). Property owners not around this weekend, greeted by their son. No Thai food or breakfast available.

It was a cottage and you provide your own food. The cottage was called Honeysuckle, with a ground floor bedroom as well as an upstairs two bedded bedroom. The lady host Julie, greeted us with such a lovely smile made us feel welcomed straight away. Julie originally from Thailand provided a Thai meal for us to eat at our cottage , it was lovely. Andy her husband was very helpful too. There was also a special charity evening laid on by the hosts, & family for locals from the village, & other villages nearby in their entertainment building called The Rocking horse. The guests at the cottages were invited too, it was a super evening. The cottage was an excellent standard. Really comfortable lounge, large TV, & internet. The cottage heating was set to keep warm coming on & off. The kitchen was great to work in, plenty of space, I used the big fridge freezer, microwave, & hob. There was the oven, & a dishwasher which I didn't need on this holiday. The showeroom had a very modern look, the powerful walk in shower was very easy to use. The hallway has tasteful curtains, which makes it feel extra warm. There are just two steps along the hallway with a small handrail, which was very helpful as we have mobility problems. Light switches are in the hallway by the showeroom, & the downstairs bedroom so it felt very safe to be able to switch on, & off The downstairs bedroom used was very comfortable, crisp white bedding. A large wardrobe, 3 drawer bedside tables on both sides with lamps Dressing table, drawers, 3 mirrors, & padded stool. Electric sockets behind the dressing table. Hairdryer provided in one of the drawers, which I used. Nice,& warm at night. There were hot tubs available, but not used. Outside the cottage were tables, & chairs which were used, nice sunspot.

What a fantastic little cottage (Honeysuckle). Took my mum and she has accessibility issues (sticks or walker) This cottage was fantastic for her. There were 2 small steps inside but nothing that couldn't be overcome. The young man looking after us was excellent. The facilities were clean and very homey. Bedrooms were great, the twin was upstairs and from the sky lights gave fantastic views (when it wasn't raining/snowing). For those who want to stargaze ... Wow amazing. Had option to use the hot tub, but the weather put pay to that unfortunately. The village of Thornton le Dale itself is beautiful with little coffee shops, a chocolate factory and an emporium that has stocks of all sorts of curiosities. Will definitely be booking to go again.

We booked all of the cottages for a large group to celebrate my wife's 60th. The hosts Andy and Julie could not have been more helpful. The accommodation was comfortable and well maintained. If there were any issues, the hosts addressed them promptly. Each cottage has a different layout, some with ensure bathrooms and some without. All have decent living rooms and kitchens, and some have living rooms that open up onto patio areas. We hired the Rocking Horse Barn for two nights, and it worked out perfectly for our group of 46. The first night, the hosts arranged a fish & chip van, and that worked out really well. The second night Julie cooked wonderful Thai food, which we highly recommend. Plates, cutlery, glasses, etc. were provided, along with a good sound system. The barn is quaintly decorated with nice lighting and is ideal for a modest gathering. Generally, there is an 11 PM curfew for noise. However, that is no issue if you know in advance. We were in the four bed cottage, and that was ideal for our dogs, as there was an enclosed area for them to run around. That may not be the case with the other cottages, but dogs are still welcome as long as they are controlled. The large hottubs were great added bonus. Our 4-bed had its own hottub. Some others were shared. The location is great, and we had a trip on the historic steam train, leaving from Pickering. Thornton Le Dale is close by, and some of the group made trips to Scarborough and Whitby. There are also a couple of pubs within a mile. We booked the Cayley Arms for Sunday lunch, and it was excellent! All in all, a great stay!
Properties of this nature require constant attention, and the most important thing was that any minor issues were addressed promptly. Parking is slightly restricted. However, we managed to park all of our cars, and, again, we knew this issue in advance, and it was well managed. Therefore, in summary, there are no negatives that were not managed well.

We booked two cottages for my brothers 40th birthday amongst 8 of us. They were next door to each other and perfect for our needs. I would recommend this for family and close friends. It's a home from home. The cottages are really quaint and cosy. Our hosts were lovely, Sue even made us a very reasonably priced Thai banquet so we didn't have to go out. The hot tub was lovely too.
Nothing to moan about. It is quite remote so walks need a car first to travel as the road outside has no path and could be dangerous.

Lovely Cottage, with good facilities. Living Room size and seating was great for a party of 8. Brilliant Location near forests and with nice walks for the dogs from the door. Lovely Beaches only 25 minutes away. Amazing Thai food cooked for us by Julie as a takeaway on our 1st night. Hot Tub is very large and great for a big group.
Water pressure for showers was low, and could be improved. Instructions could be be better on arrival as we had to divert one our group whilst still on route to the cottage to get wood, coal and firelighters. We only discovered the following day that we could have purchased these from the owners. Also the lighting around the outside of the cottage needs to be improved. Very drafty from the Chapel front door, so was cold for those sitting nearest to the external door on the sofas even with the fire and CH on (luckily blankets were provided).

Location was excellent for visiting the North York Moors and the pretty villages along its southern edge. Comfortable cottage, comfortable bed. Well furnished. Hosts were exceptional in their welcome and the offer of making us a Thai take away which was delicious.
Kitchen a bit tired but all facilities provided.

Idyllic cottage, spotlessly clean. Perfect for 2 people. The bed was very comfortable. The hot tub was a wonderful bonus. Very helpful and attentive hosts. Superb location for visiting the east coast and North Yorkshire countryside and towns and villages.

Location was great for us as we were there for a specific reason and it is near to family. Liked the idea that we could book cottages together to accommodate all the family. Fantastic that there was a dishwasher for a big group. The hot tub was lovely. Hosts were really welcoming and gave us a quick tour and chat about do's and don'ts around the hot tub which was sensible. They also made sure there was a bigger BBQ for our use.
Just a couple of niggly bits really. There was no plug for the kitchen sink and no washing up bowl. Toilet seats a bit loose. Outside door onto court yard were difficult to secure, problem with locks which really need looking at.
