  • Elaine

    It is well equipped and ideally positioned within the village of Goathland. With easy access to beautiful countryside and the coast. Very sad to see that apparently this property is being removed from the holiday rental market. We would most likely have booked to stay there again

  • Rob

    .for the amount of people to use ( larder fridge would be good in the utility -Coming to stock up wine cabinet/ fridge very dirty and broken

  • Elaine

    With a superb kitchen/diner, plenty of places to relax or play games, comfortable bedrooms and a big secure garden, it was perfect for our mixed aged group, ranging from two to seventy five. We really enjoyed our week finding some lovely walks and interesting places to visit. We would definitely like to return.
