“Perfect base to explore York” 75 yards from the Minster in the heart of the old town. Lovely, clean with everything you could want. We'll be back :)

“Good location for a Scarborough break” Located at a high point close to the castle, the view from the main living area is panoramic. Great to cook,sit and eat or relax with an every changing scene. We found all we needed to properly self-cater in the kitchen area. The flat was generally clean and tidy, except for the oven, which needed a deep clean. You don`t get a great view without some effort and the walk back uphill may tax some guests. Our main gripe was the lack of parking spaces. We were loath to move the car once we had parked as every available spot was taken up the moment a space came available.

“Wondeful holiday with bonus of accessible accommodation” Having looked endlessly for accessible accommodation for an accompanied wheelchair user both through tourist information in the North Yorkshire area and searches online I was delighted to come across The Shippen which was due for completion mid 2018. Making contact with the owners as it approached completion they were extremely helpful in checking the property was going to be suitable before proceeding with booking and provided lots of photos. On arrival we absolutely weren't disappointed and myself and family members enjoyed one of the nicest weeks holiday we have had in a long while helped by the warm late summer sunshine. Both Karen and Jeff were extremely helpful and welcoming, ensuring everything was so my independence could be maximised during my stay given people with different levels of impairment have different needs etc. The property was spotlessly clean and modern and the large arched windows made it a lovely light space. As the weather was so pleasant we spent most of the daytime hours visiting the local area in which there was so much to see but local towns of Thirst and Northallerton are only a short distance away for those wanting to just chill out in this lovely quiet location, each cottage having its own outdoor seating area and other facilities on site to enjoy if you wish. As the weather was kind to us we had no issues with heating but with a woodburner all set to be installed this would be a really cosy place to come away and relax in peaceful surroundings during the colder months. The generous welcome hamper was a real treat and a few fridge essentials meant we could make a cup of tea on arrival. Most definitely we are hoping to re visit in 2019 but anyone considering booking this property you won't be disappointed and whilst it is suitable for individuals with mobility problems with wide doorways and a wet room it is equally suitable for able bodied with no special modifications making it appear as a 'disabled' property. Finally, also appreciated was the flexibility offered with travel dates and there being no specific requirement to book for a full 7 days and from a set date as is often the case. Many thanks Karen and Jeff for making us feel so welcome and we look forward to our return visit as I need to revisit the arcades of south bay Scarborough !

“Kirkstone” Enjoyed my week staying in the Kirkstone, great location and comfortable spacious caravan. WiFi was excellent too. Would happily stay there again. Plenty of walks and pubs serving excellent ale & food. Thank you Margaret I had a lovely week.

“Great stay” The apartment was first class. Location was excellent, near to the cliff lift. Helped with limited mobility. Everything was excellent, quiet, close to sea and spa and top rate accommodation.

“Escape From The Crowds.” Well I finally found found The Cottage after making three about turns on the road. Down a wee country track, we were met by Ingid, Matt and Knight Arthur...I grid offered to help me out with buying a couple of items for when Shen went shopping , so kind, very nice pleasant people.... Arthur promptly showed us around...my two dogs scurried off noses to the ground then finally the kettle went on..... On the Monday I bought fire requirements, and on Monday night I lit a fire, later adding a couple of logs. How lovely! Took us back to our childhood, toasting tea cakes at the fireside. My cousin 86yrs old slept excellently....I less so, as I found the double bed a little hard....I'm used to a softer bed, but as the week went on I adjusted and was happy to wander off in my dreams... Some lovely areas for walking, with breath taking countryside and fabulous vistas... Our more smiley moments were coming across roadside barrows selling all kinds of goodies...made the obligatory visit to Whitby Abbey, Scarborough, Ryedale Museum at Hutton-le-Hole absolutely a must...finishing off with a mighty tasty meal at the pub next to the museum. While staying at the cottage I bought my vegetables from the top farm, the most yummy carrots I've tasted for a long time...but a huge selection of fruit and veg, eggs too.... It's peaceful, quiet, and dark with a clear sky so star gazing was an option too...Outdoor seating, if you delight in a glass of wine at the end of the day.... Cheers Ingrid, Matt (hope you're back too good health) and to Knight Arthur...because that's just what you are...A Knight to the Rescue, Thank You Arthur, hope you made the Rugby Team ....take care all of you.

“Brilliant location” Perfectly located to access the beautiful surrounding countryside with great walks for my collie. In the evening it's a short stroll to the local pubs and restaurants. Would definitely recommend Panetti's and The Taste of India. The cottage has everything you need with the addition of the great dog friendly garden with a gate that leads direct to a walk along the beck. The bottle of wine was a lovely touch. We will be returning.

“Relaxed & Chilled.” The Best thing I can say about our hosts Louise & Steve was that we never saw them apart from collecting and returning the keys. Let me explain more on this - we were met by our friendly and amicable hosts who explained how the hot tub worked, showed us inside the summer house where the bbq was and things such as where beach & nearby pubs were. We were advised if we needed anything at all and just ask, as I started didn't need to as EVERYTHING was perfect.We came for 3 stress free night's and that is exactly what we got, and was heavenly. The hot tub was cleaned daily and used up to 3 times a day by us and was great and even our autistic son adored it which was a real bonus. What Louise & Steve have created is a little haven with tremendous attention to detail, from the lights on the external trees to the little fairy tree house. The garden was large and ideal for my dog but so was the beach a gentle 10 mins stroll down the road. I highly recommend this stay as long as you want to chill & relax, if you are used to being constantly on the go this is a must to wind down. I had a chat with Louise on departure and told her to expect another visit from us - it was heavenly, and highly recommend.

“Clean and modern” Lovely clean, modern chalet on a busy but nice site in Bridlington, lovely location just a couple of minutes walk to the beach.

“Cosy, clean cottage with lovely garden and a great base for exploring the area.” This cottage makes a super base for exploring either locally on foot or a short journey in the car will get you to Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay, Sandsend and the gorgeous countryside - all of these places make for a fabulous day out. Eskmoor cottage, although on the main road through Ruswarp provided a peaceful retreat at the end of a busy day. It has a great outdoor space at the rear which is reached via a short private path and is safely fenced in and there's also a covered bench area immediately outside the rear of the cottage and it all feels quite private. We had no problem parking up the hill, (a short walk from the cottage) even in August. We unloaded and loaded the car directly outside the cottage but you cannot park there. There are local shops in Ruswarp for provisions and anything else can be obtained in Whitby. The decor of the lounge and main bedroom is traditional, clean and fresh and in keeping with the age of the property. The lobby at the front is a handy space to leave shoes, etc and the separate door into the lounge means you don't lose the heat. Good value for money.

“Daisey may” Loved staying at this chalet. The chalet was spotless inside and out and well up to date and comfortable, perfect little getaway, would definitely stay again.

“Great place to stay” Really enjoyed our stay for my 50th birthday. A great little chalet which was very clean and comfortable. A nice quiet base for exploring Bridlington and the surrounding area.highly recommend.

“stunning cottage fully equiped and everything to a high standard.” located close to Thirsk and a short trip to York, total peaceful and relaxing, the fishing is great no monsters but hard fighting and a great variety.

“Absolutely fabulous” Superb barn conversion in lovely surroundings. A perfect place to relax and unwind. A perfect location to explore the beautiful North Yorkshire countryside.The accommodation is finished to a very high standard. It's beautiful, spacious and very comfortable . Jeff & Karen are fantastic hosts and have thought of everything to ensure a perfect stay. The hamper full of lovely goodies was a wonderful surprise when we arrived. We will definitely be returning.

“Excellent location!” A friend and I stayed here for 3 nights from the 6th of November. The cottage had everything we needed. Comfortable beds and a good walk-in shower with good water pressure. The kitchen was well equipped and the lounge was cosy. The location was fantastic. The co-op supermarket was only a minute away and all the shops, pubs and restaurants were only a 2-3 minute walk. We really enjoyed our stay. Natja. Sorry about the recycling. We couldn't find the green bag you refer to in the notes.

“Excellent Apartment” Thank you for our recent stay at Sealview, The apartment is excellent, so clean, comfortable and well equipped, very quiet and only 10 minutes walk to the centre of Whitby. We look forward to returning soon.

“Brill brid” Great location near too new leisure centre and harbour area. Clean spacious house with quite a few added extras plenty of room for our family get together.

“Tickled by Tickle!” We had an utterly fantastic week at Tickle Cottage. It's a lovely place to stay with all the things you need for a self-catered holiday. The cottage is clean, airy and beautifully decorated. The beds are super comfy and the cottage is equipped with everything you could and couldn't imagine - DVDs, games, handy guides, a BBQ, warm blankets for cosy evenings etc etc! The Bay is STUNNING. It's like a model village and totally immaculate. The on-site swimming pool was great for the kids, the private beach was beautiful and there was a lovely big grassy area to the rear of the cottage where our kids rode their bikes and played in complete safety. Highly recommended.

“SUPER COZY COTTAGE” Beautiful well equipped And stylish cottage in a lovely rural setting. Perfect to tour the Yorkshire coast

“Wonderful location” Only a five minute walk down into the town (ok -ten minutes coming back - but it was uphill!) and a lovely view of the Abbey as you were walking down. Everything in close proximity, with a secure space at the apartment so you could forget about driving and parking. Take the tour bus and be amazed when it stops outside Union Mill as a place of historical interest! Everything you could need in the apartment. And thank you for the welcoming bottle of wine.

“Fantastic cottage and location” We have stayed in Staithes a number of times and Driftwood cotttage is the best cottage we have stayed in. The view is fantastic, you can see the harbour and also the Cod & Lobster pub from each floor. The cottage has everything you need for a great and cosy stay..We will be back!!
