Really lovely space, Paula and Ian have included so much and lots of little extras. Loved seeing the alpacas every morning and wish had booked for longer as the space was super relaxing and quiet. We will be returning and thanks again x

A good relaxing break in a superb cottage. The cottage itself was immaculate, everything was well thought out and comfortable. The owner Paula was lovely and helpful. Outside there was a pleasant area to walk or sit or use of a hot tub. Parking was directly outside the property . Though 2 other properties it was very quiet.

One of my favourite cottages and one we would definitely return to. Very comfortable and a lovely quiet, private area outside for relaxing. Paula, our host was very prompt and helpful with any queries. The nearest village is rather pretty and I can recommend the fish and chips.The Foldyard is a great base for exploring North and East Yorkshire. We recommend Beverley Minster and a trip to Flamborough Head (Geat for spotting seals and dolphins and a lovely walk. Just along he coast is Bempton Cliffs. This is an RSPB bird sanctuary and was heaven for my birder partner. Local wildlife includes a group of wonderfully friendly alpacas. I miss them already.Fabulous!
