While a few minor maintenance and cleaning issues were noted, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests eager to return.
Most guests found the cottage very clean and well maintained, though a handful mentioned minor issues such as cobwebs, unemptied bins, and the need for a floor mop. These were exceptions rather than the rule.
The location is frequently described as peaceful, quiet, and ideal for exploring the North Yorkshire Moors and coast. Guests appreciated the beautiful countryside views and easy access to local attractions.

Keith; the owner, was there to greet us and make sure we were okay with everything. He very kindly loaned us a toilet frame and shower chair which was very welcome. The bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of hot water (a bonus). We hope to return in the near future. 29th May 2026 to 5th June 2026
