  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Chalet 1 on the Snooty fox site.

  It was a little confusing on arrival as it wasn't clear where we needed to go to find the chalet however another guest pointed us in the right direction. The chalet was clean and had ample amenities. We were provided with a kettle, microwave, toaster, cutlery for two, a tin bottle opener, bin bags and a dustpan and brush. There was also washing up liquid, tea and coffee, hand wash and hand cream and a tea towel which was great. The fridge was very small, a two pint of milk couldn't stand upright, and were it not for the fact we visited in January and could chill stuff outside it would have been a real pain. The staff provided plenty of towels and even brought us some fresh ones during our stay. The room was warm and the TV had freeview. The wifi wasn't great, however our phone signal was good. We could have done with some coat pegs as we had to put coats on the chair. I also struggled to find the bins to dispose of our rubbish and didn't see any recycling stations, this could have been an oversight but the lack of recycling was disappointing. The hot tub was clean, maintained and within a private area which was a really nice touch as you didn't feel overlooked. The site was well kept but quite empty and the bar was only open Fri-Sun. The location was good for catching a bus to Scarborough which out of season was only £2 for a single ticket and came hourly. There was a lovely pub which served hearty, well cooked and delicious meals in West Heslerston which is just 5 minutes drive down the road. Overall we had a great stay and would recommend the site for a short break for adults.

  We enjoyed our stay, but did have a few concerns with the property.

  Firstly was the cleanliness, the floors were unclean, and we found part of a false nail on the bathroom floor. Also the bedding was dark and thus we were unable to tell how clean it was. Also all of our towels were damp on arrival, and so were the additional towels we requested. On arrival we checked the hot tub and were disappointed to find it was not clean nor hot. We were informed that it had been drained and cleaned that morning and that the cleaner had forgotten to turn it on. This meant we were unable to use it all day. We have been offered a £40 refund for this. There were flies in the hot tub which someone removed with a net, and there was also sediment at the bottom which we were told would be picked up by the filter, however this remained there over the days. When the hot tub was heated the next day it was very overfilled, so water spilled over the edges when we tried to get in. The room itself was nicely presented, as was the patio area, but the cleanliness and issues with the hot tub left us feeling quite disappointed.

  Fabulous little cottage, the pictures don’t do it justice, it’s so much nicer in reality.

  The room is so cosy, with a huge tv(bonus), kitchen had everything we needed, shame it didn’t have a freezer, even just a freezer box in fridge, but we did manage okay, especially when it’s right next to a fabulous little butcher’s. The bedroom was spacious, bed comfy, pillows too hard for me, perhaps give an option?. Lovely bathroom, if there’s a way to shower that would be good, like one of them hoop curtains?, we made do so not a major issue, just a little issue for people with back problems getting out of baths. The car park space was a real bonus, only a few minutes down the street as the streets filled up pretty quickly, just unload at side of butchers then park down the road, we did get neighbours looking, however lots of people doing it down this street all day. Ruswarp is a perfect location, only 30 minutes walk to Whitby via train track trail, perfect for our little cockapoo. If it’s available for our next holiday we will be back.

  Property was as described and very comfortable.

  Some Prosecco and other goodies left for us which was a nice touch. Depending on when you arrive/depart you’ll either need to unload in the butchers car park or if that’s closed, in the side road but it is quite busy so you need to be quick. Once we parked up we used the train to get to Whitby or we walked in along the path that runs alongside the railway line (takes about 30 mins). Road outside it quite busy but we soon got used to it so it was no problem. I did feedback to the owners that a privacy curtain would be useful on the back door as you have to pass it to get from the bathroom to upstairs. There is a curtain on the front door. A lovely cottage in a lovely setting and a really good alternative in price to actually staying in Whitby.

  The property was lovely and just perfect for me and my husband and our two pooches.

  The owners thought of everything from treats for us to treats for the dogs. They even left bubble bath which I always forget. The main bedroom was lovely and quite quirky. The baby gate was handy for keeping the dogs from going upstairs or for keeping them in the kitchen at bedtime. Good enclosed garden but not suitable if your dog is a jumper, ours safely stayed within the garden and greeted everyone who went by. We took a big waterproof blanket for the living room as a preventative measure. The rug is cream so we found it was helpful at avoiding any marks on the rug. The owner also provided dog blankies which we found were useful for keeping things protected. We would stay again. Lovely walk to Whitby and lots to do in the surrounding areas.
