Cottage Review:  

Great little cottage. We had a lovely 2 weeks. The hosts were friendly with welcome gifts on arrival. Our only criticism is the TV. The sound is awful. WiFi is very good so why not upgrade to a bigger smart TV with Netflix & Prime. Also we found the double bed mattress very uncomfortable. So didn?t really get a good nights sleep. Place is very hilly which didn?t bother us at all. Good local pub and fish & chips. Warning- No mobile phone signal either.

Cottage Review:  

We arrived slightly early for check in but had been advised by Elaine that hopefully the cottage would be ready by 2pm which it was. We were just unloading when Gerard popped in with some milk,so with the hamper kindly provided we could have a cuppa & snack.

The weather wasn't very warm for June but the cottage was always nice & cosy, the washing machine being a benefit as we were going on to Thirsk on the Saturday. The cottage is well equipped and we did do a bit of cooking a couple of nights.

The Fox & hounds pub ,just 100 yards away does some fantastic, reasonable pub grub , I don't think we've ever had food so hot & steaming , thanks to Paul who along with the lady chef were managing very well without help. Theakstons £2.90 a pint.

The Captain Cook pub on hill to Staithes did a really good Sunday lunch for 2 & three pints for just over £30.

We hadn't been to this area before but may well return , the owners & villagers really friendly & lots of walks which can be done from the cottage. Places we visited not really further than 15 miles away. Shame the sun didn't shine but didn't stop us doing anything. Staithes, Redcar, Saltburn is lovely but don't queue to sit in the Seaview restaurant very overated.

Coop handy up the road turn right for supplies or turn left 6 miles up the road to Aldi, Asda etc.

Only criticism is the TV, the sound is awful & with such good WiFi could have a bugger Smart TV to get Netflix, iPlayer, prime etc .

Just back from week staying in this lovely cottage. Nice welcome gift and very friendly owners. Nice walks from cottage some with steep hills. Very near to Staithes and good connections to whitby and Scarborough and Yorkshire coast. Sandwiches cakes and drinks can be obtained from lainey across road beautiful and very reasonable. A very relaxing place to stay.

Stayed a week in this very quiet cottage with all we needed, no mobile phone signal, WIFI, local pub, clean, tidy, well equipped very cosy. Would recommend to anyone looking to get away from the day to day pace of life.

Cottage Review:  

We stayed in Post Box cottage which was ideal as it had 3 bedrooms ( 1 double and 2 single) for a very reasonable price. It was clean and well equipped and an ideal spot for walking the Cleveland Way. We were there at lambing time and Gerard was always happy to discuss the farm and local area even though there was lots going on with lambs being born every day.

This is a very hilly area and you can't walk more than 1/4 mile without a slope - we live in Suffolk so are not used to so many hills.

Wifi was good but no reception for text messages.

Cottage Review:  

We stayed here with our 2 grandchildren in July & it was a wonderful experiance.Gerard, Elaine & Tom were such lovely hosts & the kids loved their tour of the farm with Gerard as did we.

The cottage is excellent, spotlessly clean & location is lovely.

Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to family & friends & we intend to return ourselves.
