  We stayed here between Xmas & New Year.

  The Cottage is nice & quaint. It was cosy and was always nice & warm. Unfortunately we did have a few issues which was disappointing. We had travelled a long way , so thought that we would buy our food from the supermarket when we got here. Our journey was not good due to terrible fog and traffic which put another 2 hours onto our journey. We have stayed at lots of cottages previously and have always been left a nice welcome pack with tea , coffee , a pint of milk in the fridge and sometimes a few other bits & pieces which is always nice after a long journey so that you can just have a cuppa & a rest when you arrive. When we arrived here there was nothing!!! We had to unpack our luggage and then go back out to Northallerton around 7 miles away along Country lanes in the fog and the dark to buy some. Admittedly we needed to buy shopping anyway but it would have been really nice to have had a bit of a break first after our long journey and a nice cuppa. We also found later that there was also no salt & pepper , no tinfoil , no kitchen towel, no bin bags , really no basic amenities that we have always been left before at other properties. Items that would improve someone's stay that just cost a few pounds. We had been left 1 washing up sponge , 1 dishcloth and the tiniest amount of washing up liquid and 2 toilet Rolls!! We was also told that we would be left a bag of logs for the log burner. We was left 2 logs!! Luckily we had taken 3 bags of logs of our own. When we went to light it though , the lighter did not work so we had to go to a nearby garage on New Year's Day to buy a lighter. Also the outside lights did not work in the courtyard at the back, so when letting our dog out before bedtime at night it was pitch black. Also the clock in the kitchen did not work. The sofa & chair was not the same in the living room as in the pictures advertised and was not as nice. We also found in the file left by the owners that they had asked if you had any remaining food left when you was leaving and that you was going to throw out could you leave it as they might be able to feed their chickens with it. That's all very well and I have no problem with that if the food is to be thrown out anyway , but it would be nice if they had even left you a couple of eggs!! All in all the cottage was nice and we enjoyed the surrounding area. The pub next door was lovely and welcoming and we had a lovely meal there on New Year's Eve. The village is lovely too. I just found that a few more touches to actually welcome people to the cottage wouldn't go a miss. A few nice gestures go a long way and because of this I'm afraid we would not stay at this cottage again.

  This is a lovely, warm and cosy cottage with the added bonus of 4 little ponies as the neighbours!

  It was a well equipped kitchen which made it great for enjoying meals together. Our almost 2 year old loved collecting apples from the garden. Outside the kitchen window was an active bird feeder which was calming to watch. There was a very nice welcome package. It's very useful having the bathroom downstairs to supplement the one upstairs. Great location for walks, trips to the North York Moors (we went to Whitby bay and Robins Hood bay - great day trip) whilst being close to the conveniences of North Allerton (Betty's tea rooms there is lovely). We did a trip to Thorp Perrow (arboretum, kids playground, birds of prey and mammal centre) and the Forbidden Corner (absolutely amazing maze, with sculptures and labyrinths - strongly recommended!). The only improvement is that we didn't find a clothes horse we could use indoors so it made a bit tricky to dry clothes after washing them. Thank you for such a lovely stay!

  Pollard Cottage is in a lovely location and a few minor improvements would have lifted our star rating.

  On arrival we found the toilet flush to be broken (we took the cistern lid off to operate the flush when we were there and reported to the owner). The heated towel rail didn’t work so the shower room was chilly (this has previously been mentioned in a 2021 review!). The porch light didn’t work although it did flash a couple of times and the outside lights at the back were not working. The sofa in the living room is not as shown in the photos and is a little tired. The recliner armchair is better. The online photos need to be updated. The kitchen is modern and well equipped but a couple of little extras that would be useful are a small milk pan (the two pans in the cupboard are very large) and a baking tray for the oven. Despite these comments we did enjoy our week in Yorkshire.

  The cottage was lovely and cosy.

  The owners had left everything you would need out for us... The only thing was the sofa it wasn't very comfortable I couldn't get up out of it. The little things like teatowels cleaning stuff all was there for us to use. The lovely kitchen was very practical and a washer...very useful as our clothes muddy due to wet weather... We had a lovely chill out time in the cottage, just what we needed. Northallerton Darlington were visited not far away. The pub next door does lovely meals, dog friendly we went there The first night. Our dog was chilled and fell asleep under the radiator... If the weather had been better we would have done more visiting Masham Ripon not so far away. Will do this next time ... I would highly recommend this cottage. Thank you to the owners we had a very nice stay.

  Webstone House is a gorgeous cottage in a stunning part of Yorkshire.

  The cottage has a lovely homely feel, is well equipped and very well located for getting around North Yorkshire. I spent many a happy moment watching all the different birds, from tiny Robins, stunning Pheasants to the village Peacock wandering down the lane. The Gardens are lovely and the whole place is peaceful, its a real sanctuary wasted if you are planning to just sleep and go - I recommend time is taken in between days out to stay 'home' and enjoy the cottage and amble around in Thimbleby, or walk up to Osmotherly, its all delightful. There is Clay Shooting near by but I didn't find the gunshot sound intrusive and wasn't happening all the time. The Host was friendly and quick to respond to any concerns I had.
