Great pre-arrival information meant we found the apartment and got in easily. The whole place was a real delight, so many thoughtful, personal touches made us feel right at home. A true hidden gem in a quiet neighbourhood, that's walking distance from the beach.

Loved everything. It was great having a cafetiere for proper coffee with breakfast, the garden was lovely. Listen out for the midwife toads when it gets dark! Having use of the garage was marvellous but be careful to make sure the door is shut! Marie-Louise was so helpful she even washed my jeans after I had been involved in a car accident and had covered myself with coffee.

Many thanks to Marie-Louise and Jim for being such generous hosts. We really enjoyed our stay at the lovely Garden Appartment. You provided everything we needed and more - comfortable accommodation with the bonus of access to your lovely garden!

We recently had a wonderful short stay at the Garden Apartment. It is very well appointed accommodation and we had the use of a delightful garden. It is in a very quiet location in the centre of town and the use of a garage is invaluable. Very pleasant and helpful owners and we would hope to stay again in the future.

This cute apartment is very sweet. The bedroom has Windows and a door onto the beautiful garden. In the garden there are huge Georgian urns , a patio and table, a lovely summerhouse and chickens and a pond. There is a farmhouse style kitchen next door where breakfast can be made under the glass ceiling. Marie-Louise left breakfast items and communicated via text as she was away. There is a key safe so you can arrive anytime. A great idea I thought. Whitby is a cute fishing village but staying here makes it a better experience.

We had a super stay in this lovely apartment with beautiful garden and Marie-Louise was a great host and gave us lots of tips for places to visit in this great little seaside town and the North Yorkshire Moors. Brilliant location too.

Marie Louise was very welcoming. Instructions on how to get there were great. The parking was excellent and the apartment which had recently been renovated was very comfortable and had everything we needed. It was warm enough to sit out each evening in the pretty garden away from the hustle and bustle of Whitby

I would highly recommend staying at this wonderful apartment. The hosts were excellent and the stay was very enjoyable. Whitby itself is lovely, and I am looking forward to visiting again!

A quaint cottage in a great location fully stocked with everything you would need for a break away. Aron was a great host with good communication.

Spent a fantastic long weekend at the Henrietta Street cottage. Really nice place, very clean and well modernised property situated on a quiet picturesque street on what I believe to be the nicer side of the harbour. Modern bathroom, fully equipped kitchen and nice bedrooms. Property as shown in the pictures, and was in fact more spacious than expected, easily enough space for our group of 4 adults. Two good pubs a short walk down the street, and loads of coffee shops in the vicinity. Accessing the property was very easy, unloaded infront of the cottage and parked at the nearby church street car park which about 5 mins away. Communications with Aron also quick and informed. Would highly recommend.

Even though it was a wet week in Whitby, we loved our stay and the Henrietta Street really helped my family to have a great break. The cottage was just as advertised and very comfortable, a real home from home. I'm sure we may return.

This was our second visit to Aron's cottage, we stayed last year around the same time of year, and just had to come again! The cottage is beautiful, cosy, welcoming and so close to everything you should require for the perfect Whitby holiday. We will definitely be booking again!

Fantastic!

Lovely comfortable cottage in prime location of Whitby. We were very at home here. Best bits - Proper up-to-date cooking amenities - everything needed to prepare food easily, Great powerful shower - instant hot water and kids loved the attic twin bedroom (and wifi good throughout property). Imagine it would make a lovely winter stay - really cosy especially with woodburner ( we didn't use). Would recommend.

Great historic cottage near the beach and town! We definitely had a great time staying there! One thing to notice is that the street is very busy and driving to the cottage is difficult unless you do it in the middle of the night. Lots of people and delivery vans and such make access with a car very difficult we found. The host mentioned this to us before our arrival so it was not a surprise. It was very warm during our stay and we had to leave the windows open to try to cool down the bedrooms; as the street is very popular at all hours the noise was a bit much when you're trying to sleep. A couple of fans in the room would definitely help so you would want to bring a couple in the summer. One other thing, if you are a tall person you're guaranteed to hit your head on low beams in the kitchen and door ways, no doubt there... It's a very old cottage from a time where people were a lot shorter... Overall we had a great experience, the location is wonderful, close to everywhere you would want to be! Aron returned message right away, very helpful and responsive. We definitely would want to come back!

Great house and location. Lovely to wake up and walk pretty straight out to the harbour, but not be overwhelmed by tourists.

What a great place to stay! Picturesque location, well equipped house with a really homely feel. We really enjoyed our stay. Thanks!

Really cosy and well situated cottage , easy access to all that Staithes has to offer. Really well and thoughtfully equipped although a shower would have been great!

Paula's cottage is a lovely, cute little spot right in the heart of Staithes old village, in amongst the higgledy piggledy, colourful houses and about a two minute walk from the pubs, beach and brilliant Dotty's tearoom. Thanks for a great stay, it was just what we needed.

Fantastic little cottage, suitable for all seasons. Great location in the old part of Staithes. Beach, harbour and the lovely Cod and Lobster all within easy walking distance.

Crab Cottage is wonderfully cosy and charming. The main downstairs room is great for cooking, eating and hanging out on the sofas and the snug downstairs is great for getting a fire going and settling in for mega relaxation. The village of Staithes is like a fairy tale, or something out of Harry Potter! And brilliant friendly pubs where the food is great and everyone is chatty. Especially magical at Christmas time. Also a must is nearby Sandsend beach and of course Whitby. All together a fab trip.

Staithes is lovely, very peaceful and a great place to get away from it all! We visited Saltburn, Sandsend, Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay. Cosy cottage equipped with everything you would need.

A peaceful, cosy cottage in the heart of the beautiful village of Staithes. Well worth a stay.

Lovely little place, the village felt like a film set. The yard is shared and not the best for dogs. Would go back.

A tricky little place to locate but wonderful once we arrived! A quiet and scenic farm stay tucked away from civilization. A beautifully converted granary. The wifi wasn't very strong but hey, it's not all about the internet!

Had a superb time. Great base for exploring the coast and moors. Kids spent the time we were there watching all the bunnies out out the window! Thank you Simon!

We had a great stay here, perfect home from home for travelling with a young child. Great location to go out exploring, I wished we'd stayed longer. I wasn't expecting the off road track to get to the property but it was actual fine once I knew where I was going! We would definitely stay again.

We really enjoyed this holiday home. It was ideal with small children as there were no stairs within the house, only leading up to the front door. The washing machine was a shared facility amongst two other holiday residences, but we had use of this as and when we needed it. We enjoyed how quiet and rural it was. You could see the stars so clearly!

Lovely, cozy cottage, superb location in the Moors (hikers and outdoor lovers will love it!) and Yorkshire coast within easy reach. We had a wonderful time at the Granary. Would definitely recommend Simon's accommodation to anyone wanting to unwind exploring North Yorkshire's coastal area or doing hikes/walks in the Moors - utterly relaxing. We'll be back.

A very comfortable property, in a beautiful location. Lovely walking from the door step. We have no reservation about recommending it to others.

Fantastic scenery, immaculate accomodation and a very friendly welcome. 5 stars.

The host canceled this reservation 38 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

A lovely place with many animals. A great place to stay with family members if you want to escape from city life. Simon is funny and very helpful during our stay :)

Lovely cottage with remote feel but a short drive to nearest town. Simon was a great host, was waiting to welcome us and ensured we had everything we needed. We didn't see him again but felt we could knock on his door had we needed to. Many thanks.

The location of this property is amazing. The views surrounding the property are postcard perfect. A real escape from it all. The sheep were an added bonus. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and my children loved the swings in the garden. It's also only 20 minutes from Whitby so perfect base to explore the coast.

The place is very nice, beautiful area. Simon looks to be a very accommodating person.

We had a really happy time in a such wonderful location in the middle of the moors surronded by fields and sheeps. The cottage was simple but got everyhmthing what we needed!! Highly recommended!!

A charming location and host. So lovely, especially for kids with lots of ponies about and sublime tranquil views. The nearby town has a great cosy little pub where they serve excellent food - might pay to book on Friday/Saturday. Primrose cottage is slightly basic, but it warm very clean and warm. Has all mod cons. Highly recommended!

A fantastic spot in the countryside to relax and spend a bit of family time. Simon's place had everything we needed and had a lovely private garden that could be enjoyed as the sun went down. The cottage itself is a little dated inside but that adds to the character and doesn't deter from booking again in the future. Games for the kids were provided as was all you needed including bedding and kitchen items. A great place and great value. Thanks again.

Exactly what it says on the tin. Fantastic location! Check in procedure is basically just turn up and get settled. Everything is relaxed and straight forward.

We loved the location and the beautiful sea views and it was great to be able to have breakfast on the deck in the mornings. There is a lovely walk along the cliffs to Runswick Bay ( you can get the bus back). There are several places to eat within walking distance - we can recommend Bridge Cottage Bistro. Our host, Malcolm, was friendly and helpful and the accommodation was comfortable and spacious. We really enjoyed our time here.

Fabulous! Everything from the views to the accommodation first class! THE Place to be in Sansend. Treat yourself!

If you're looking for somewhere to relax and take yourself away for some quality time, then look no further. Its so soothing to be able to lay in bed and listen to the sound of the waves rolling onto the beach below. Quite romantic too, if you are lucky enough to watch the sun rise over the sea from the same vantage point! Helen is the perfect host too. We would definitely love to stay again!

This is the perfect place for a couple or two friends, stunning location, cosy and beautifully decorated rooms with everything you could possibly need for your break. Waking up to the sunrise and falling asleep to the sound of the waves was magical. The little extra touches provided by Helen and Malcolm made it even more special - homemade preserves and fresh laid eggs every morning for example! Sandsend is lovely and everything is on the doorstep. Highly recommended!

Perfect stay, thank you so much for all your help Helen my mum had an awesome time xxx

A fantastic appartment with everthing you will need, an exceptionally peaceful location with awesome views, particularly at sunrise.....a most knowledgeable host who caters for your every need, a truely brilliant stay.

Stunning views, set on a beautiful bit of coastline. Decent pub nearby and a couple of great places to eat right on the door step. Would love to return in the summer as the beach looks great too.

Lovely accommodation with stunning sea view. Very cosy and a perfect way to spend a few days exploring the Yorkshire coast.

Lovely clean homely place to stay and explore Whitby. We loved Anchor Cottage and had a brilliant week. Thank you Hayley x

A beautiful clean bright cottage in a great location. Perfect for visiting Whitby and only a short drive to Sandsend and Robin Hoods Bay. We really enjoyed staying here and will definitely recommend to others.

Helen & Phil were so welcoming and kind that we felt like home. The house is perfectly located to explore Whitby and the loft is very cosy.

A convenient location in Whitby, a short walk from the shops and harbour. Helen and Phil are very welcoming and interesting to chat with, they are great hosts.

Extremely friendly and welcoming hosts. Great attic room, with kitchenette. Helen and Phil had provided us with bread, butter, jam, milk and orange juice. Better than a BnB. Very close to centre of town. Would recommend.

Great stay at Helen and Phil's! Lovely comfortable attic flat in an excellent location, close to some of our favourite places in Whitby :) Thanks, we will look in to staying again

Helen and Phil's place was great, handy for the town and very reasonably priced, I was lucky they were happy to take me even though I was only there for one day. Phil and Helen themselves were lovely hosts.

Lovely friendly hosts. Helped with parking, and provided us with tea, coffee milk etc. Very cosy and clean room, and only a short walk into town. Would definitely stay again!

Wonderful hosts, and the house was lovely. Really close to the sea, and we had a great time staying there!

Really lovely, great bed.. best nights sleep ive had in a while. Really quiet too. Perfect for us.

Christine was lovely and informative, and provided us with a darling bedroom and living room, plentiful and tasty breakfasts and books and brochures about the local area. A fantastic BnB experience!

It was a privilege to stay in Christine's lovely home. We particularly enjoyed watching the birds in the beautiful garden with a view over breakfast, having our own sitting room and being able to soak in the bath after a long walk. Brambling Cottage is in a great location and Christine is a very friendly, helpful and accommodating host, understanding our needs as public transport users. Exceeded our expectations and excellent value.

Lovely house, in a lovely village with a lovely host and an adorable dog! The room was very nice, the bed was comfortable, and all was very clean. The guests have their own bathroom and sitting room. Christine was a great host! Friendly, helpful and talkative (in a good way!). Milly the Labrador was the perfect pooch! Very friendly and keen for a fuss, but quiet and obedient when instructed to stay out of a room or leave us alone. It was all great.

Christine is a lovely host and was very helpful, I only wished we could've stayed longer. Thank you

Arrived and met our host, left saying goodbye to a friend! A wonderful room with our own bathroom, in a gorgeous setting with a wonderful host.

Christine,is a fantastic host! We spent the weekend in the area to visit Goathland and Whitby for the Goth weekend. Christine was really helpful in explaining how to reach Whitby from the cottage. The cottage is absolutely stunning and Christine's welcoming even more, especially for breakfast time in the conservatory. Christine is also very well traveled and it was a pleasure to spend some time talking to her and learning about her many travels. Millie, her dog, is lovely too and she wants you to know that she is happy to meet new people.

We only stayed one night but it was a wonderful experience. The house was easy to find and we met Christine walking her dog on approach. The view of the garden from the room and breakfast room was just out of this world. The room is average size but you are quite independent and have most or all of the first floor to yourself as their is a an adjoining lounge with TV and country views. The bathroom is your own just across the top of the stairs. Christine was the perfect host as she has managed BnB's for many years. If you are a airBnB host she will show you how to behave as a very friendly professional. I now feel a little inadequate! This is a perfect BnB and we have already recommended it to friends. We only wished we had stayed longer.

Christine is a warm welcoming person and has created a lovely home and garden. I enjoyed my first stay with a friend so much, I went back just over a week later to stay a couple of days at 'Brambling Cottage' with my husband. Goathland is an excellent location to explore both the moors and the coastal towns.

We spent a wonderful long weekend at Nicola and Mick's at the end of November. The cottage is cosy, beautifully decorated and well equipped. In addition the location at the top of Staithes is fab - very close to the centre of the village, and with the added bonus of stunning cliff top views. Nicola and Mick were excellent at communicating throughout, and left us seriously the best carrot cake we have ever had (it was worth the stay for that alone). We hope to return in the near future and would not hesitate to recommend the cottage to others.

Definitely recommend this place highly. Unlike some hosts Nicola, Mick and Tom care about their guests and go that extra mile to ensure they have a great stay. A well stocked kitchen, ample firewood, a simple personalised welcome card. The house itself is cosy and ideal for walking or visiting this beautiful part of the world. We found the bed a little soft and the wind blowing through the windows was a little noisy but hey nowhere is perfect, so just like home.

Fresh Coffee and Carrot cake on arrival...... what more could you ask for!! Your house is so homely and has a beautiful and relaxing feeling. Plenty of wood, films and books to entertain us and the maps of the area were what we needed too. We couldn't of wanted more, a fire after a day in the fresh air is perfect on those chilly nights, relaxing and taking it easy. A perfect house to discover the area, relax in and with the addition of candles everywhere. Everything works as it should- Highly recommended indeed!!! Gracias! Nicola and Mick

Nicola and Mick have a lovely, comfortable home a stone's throw from the picturesque centre of Staithes, with wonderful views of the sea to one side of the house and the glorious countryside to the other. Accessibility in terms of parking is VERY simple, with spots available. It's a home from home - they've thought of everything. We took trips to Saltburn-by-the-Sea, Sandsend, Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay. All are a closeby, with plenty to do for all eventualities. Highly recommended!

Lovely little terrace just above the village of Staithes. Beautifully clean, very well appointed, charming house. Small outside seating area where you can watch the birds on the feeders next door. Very easy access to Cleveland Way path. Very comfy bed, proper cotton bed linen. Coffee, tea bags (and even herbal tea bags), milk, juice and a giant cake on arrival! Very clear instructions on how to find and access. Would definitely come again.

This was our second stay in Nicola and Mick's cottage and we loved it just as much as when we first visited in April. We took far less with us this time, as we knew that absolutely everything we needed would be there, or easily available from the nearby Co-op. The weather was interesting (fog, gales, torrential rain and brilliant sun), but that really didn't matter, as there were so many different options for things to see and do nearby. The cottage itself, as others have said, is beautifully presented and homely at the same time - a really lovely place to spend time. I particularly loved the arrangements of herbs around the house, rather than flowers. I'm sure we will visit for a third time and quite possibly many more.

We would like to thank Nicola and Mick... we had a very nice stay in their lovely cottage. Everything was as described... except for the extensive DVD collection, which we enjoyed exploring.

The listing gave us a good idea about what to expect, but the cottage was even better than we hoped. I can't quite put my finger on why, it isn't a newly refurbished, purpose built holiday home. It is a hundred year old miners cottage with all the history and charm of a house that age. I think it’s the hosts homely touches that sets it apart from other holiday homes. Enjoy their fantastic collection of coloured glass. Mick and Nicola have really thought of everything from the lovely cake, tea, coffee, milk and the fire made up to welcome you, to making sure the cottage is well equipped. Not just the kitchen, the games , books and DVD’s but also thoughtful , practical things like a couple of spare toothbrushes, razors and shower gel just in case you have forgotten yours. There are plenty of bath towels and a couple of hot water bottles. There is a helpful folder of places to go, contact numbers and how to work everything. They have also provided a great basket full of maps and leaflets. There are lots…..i mean lots, of candles for romantic nights in in front of the log burner, but if you prefer to go out there are pubs in walking distance, There is a coop up on the main road about five minutes in the car if you need any shopping. There are great walks directly from the cottage or take the car and go and visit the surrounding area. We liked the ghost walk at Whitby, and finding the ‘Yards~ that had been on TV Thank you both so much for letting out your cottage. We’ll be back.

Perfect location and view, in the old Whitby Abbey. No Wi-Fi. Close to a lot of restaurants and stores . Less than 10min walk from the train station. Just a little detail with the bathroom door (it did not stay closed).

The Abby steps tea rooms have an awesome view of the Harbour and are in a great location right next to the 199 steps. The rooms are lovely and are clean. Garry the host has been very helpful to us during our stay and the food and drinks here are served to a high standard.

Lovely room and wonderful view!

Amazing rooms with even better views!

I checked out the location on (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Earth before arriving, but nothing prepares you for the amazing view from your room, of the harbour, the town and the steps of course! Great to people watch from! Room was very comfortable. If you're driving ask about parking.

We had a great weekend the accommodation was clean, tidy, with plenty of space and storage for what we wanted, amazing views from our room and the staff were really friendly and welcoming would defo recommend staying there again and we will be.

A beautiful room with the most amazing view over Whitby harbour. Ideal location close to shops, restaurants, cafés and Whitby Abbey.

A beautiful little place at the bottom of the Abbey Steps! Such a fantastic location with shops and pubs right ouside the door. Garry was so friendly and was happy to take our call when we couldn't find the parking! Parking is very handy & is right at the top of the steps! We stayed in room 2 which had a gogeous view of the sea. The room was just the right size for us with tea, coffee and biscuits provided. It has a lovely modern and clean en suite bathroom aswell with towels provided. Would definitely recommend staying here!

The host canceled this reservation 48 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Had a great week here - two of us and our 10 week old son. Its a lovely house, homely and comfortable with everything we needed - well equipped kitchen in particular, and really nice little garden. Also a v nice welcome from Catherine so felt at home from the start.

Julie was a lovely host - very friendly and welcoming us with a glass of Prosecco after our hike, which was wonderful.

Great, quite home in easy walking distance from the central area of Whitby. Comfortable, clean, and very nice place to stay. It was very easy to make arrangements for arrival with Julie and enjoyed having a chat with her and her husband around a lovely fire. It was a short trip but very nice stay!

Lovely room hosted by a lovely couple. Near to the centre of Whitby and close to the abbey. We will be back!

A pretty and comfortable room, with a simple but immaculately clean shared bathroom. We also had use of the sitting room during our stay. Our room was cleaned and bed remade during the day while we were out (we stayed two nights) which I was not expecting.

very nice thank you

Julie is the dream host. She welcomed us in to her lovely home and couldn't have been more friendly and helpful! I would not hesitate to stay again.

Firstly, I go there Julie's husband was waiting for me. He helped me to carry my heavy luggage! The house is very very nice and the room is clean and bright. Bed soft material has a good quality. There is no bird voice to noise your voice. Julie and her husband are very enthusiasm, after dinner we talk together, play the game with other travelers and enjoy drink & fruit! Cynthia

This is a very lovely house and our room is really (URL HIDDEN) is located at a very quite area,where is not far from the center.Julie is very nice and she prepared biscuits for us.It is a great experience for staying here.

We had a lovely stay in this quirky and historic cottage. We had everything we needed and it was warm, comfortable and in a superb location. We didn't want to leave. It was made more relaxing by not having WiFI. Even our son didn't miss his I-pad! Claudia is a considerate and thoughtful host. If you are hoping for an authentic and charming little property, this is it!

We were kindly welcomed by Claudia personally, which was very kind. The cottage was great - very well appointed, all clean and tidy, and very pleasant to stay in. We already knew we loved Bay. The shop practically next door is amazing - they sell absolutely everything you can imagine, and are friendly and helpful. Great pubs, places to eat, endless beach and clifftop walks. Magic!

The house was just perfect and Robin Hood Bay is a little gem! Our host was very warm and helpful making us feel like friends! We highly recommand the place.

Tiny cottage in fantastic location

Fantastic location to both town and beach. Great period property full of character and history. Very comfortable with everything you could possibly need, excellent communication from host.

Wow! What a delightful little cottage in a perfect location just a few minutes walk from the beach! The cottage was a perfect definition of quirky, with just one main room on each floor and delightful character. Our family of four fitted in well and wished we had stayed longer than 2 nights!

Bramley Cottage is a lovely cottage in the middle of the old fishing village. It is only a few minutes walk from the beach and there are plenty of shops and pubs within a small area. There are lots of alleys and pathways around the village which would take some time to fully explore. For exploring the wider area of the North Yorkshire Moors this makes an ideal base. We only spent a long weekend there but could quite happily have stayed longer.

Great period cottage, all requirements catered for. Clean and comfortable. Claudia a great host, really helpful.

This place is absolutely beautiful and amazing and the hosts are equally nice and very hospitable. It's a hidden gem.

We stayed with Sharon for one night. The tent is very comfortable and well equipped. The garden itself is beautiful and feels private. It was a real pleasure to sit watching the birds flit around the tree tops as the sun went down. We very much enjoyed getting to know Sharon's family and the animals they care for. It was a shame not to stay for longer. It is worth noting that it is a working animal sanctuary and whilst there are many good news stories, while we were there the family were caring for some rather poorly animals. In spite of this they went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed for a pleasant and comfortable stay.

Lovely little place to escape for a night or 2 set amongst some very happy animals in the North Yorkshire Moors, we would certainly visit again.

Having read a review, I thought I would struggle to find the place but it is so easy to find if you follow the instructions! Sharon was very kind and hospitable and they even offered a live fire in the tent as it was a bit damp due to rain. It was the best feature and very safe as the chimney took all the smoke out. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it to anyone.

Had a great stay here - very friendly and welcoming and enjoyed meeting the animals with Warren! Would definitely recommend.

I am so in love with this place. From a chicken popping in the caravan to say hello to meeting the hard working, lovely family that run everything. I was lucky enough to visit when some volunteers came along so got to meet some fantastic, like minded people too. Sharon thinks of all the little touches to make the place homely and cosy. I had such a relaxing time there. There is pub nearby The Black Bull that does great food and had a good vegan option including cherry pie and ice cream for afters. Also a good size Sainsbury's about 15 minutes away should you need to stock up when you get there. It is such a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere. Love to see the animals so happy and friendly, they know they are safe. Whether you are vegan, veggie or not I cannot recommend this place enough. It is good for the soul. ❤

I can not praise the hosts enough... such a beautiful compassionate family who are so welcoming and extremely helpful! With stunning picturesque scenery surrounding the sanctuary and a snug/cosy tent to call your home from home (not to mention all the beautiful animals who are so very happy and content... & utterly loveable!) this is an ideal get away... we will most certainly be making a return visit (only next time we'll make sure we book for more than the 2 nights!) x

Sharon and Warren couldn't have been friendlier and more helpful, and introduced us to lots of the animals which was wonderful. The tent itself is perfect and in a beautiful spot, and even though the nights were pretty chilly we were really cosy, especially with the log burner going. It's really close to Whitby where there's a few options for vegan food, and everything you could possibly need (even shampoo etc) was provided and more! We hope to be back!

Visiting Judith and Paul was like visiting own family. We had a warm welcome despite us arriving late. The house is very clean and comfortable. Amenities in the room were far beyond what we expected. Highly recommended! 

Beautiful house in a stunning area, couple were very welcoming and helpful.

The place was very easy to find. The house was very clean and the bathroom and the bedroom were very spacious. We had a very good breakfast on the morning and then she offered us to drive us to Whitby !! She is a fantastic host !! We definitely recommende this place.

Judith and Paul were very welcoming and friendly hosts who truely shared their home with us. The house is located very beautifully in the Yorkshire countryside and it was super quiet during the night. Everything was absolutely spotless and homely. My room spacious with a big comfortable bed!! The shared bathroom was just next door and the back garden was very convenient for letting Rudi my dog out as it is completely secure. Can't recommend them enough as hosts!

Goathland is an amazing place, and Paul and Judith were very welcoming. We (and our dog) were very happy - especially enjoyed the bird feeder view during breakfast, with a multitude of different birds just outside the window!

Judith and her husband greeted us at the door on our arrival. They are fairly new to this but they had it bang on. Nothing to complain about. The room is very spacious clean and the bed is very comfortable. The house was also very clean and smelt of freshly cooked bread mmmm If your looking for a quiet get away, Get booked up at Judith's 100% recommended and would love to stay again!

Great place to stay, lovely people and a lovely village to visit.

Such friendly and welcoming hosts, v helpful. Showed us different walks we could go on. An absolutely beautiful queit spot. Super clean house and lovely garden birds as well. Would recommend a stay here.

Great little cottage in a sleepy little village. Good communication and very comfortable for 2 people. We were too late for food at the pub, so it was a relief there were enough bits in the kitchen to cook something up!

My husband and I spent a lovely weekend at James traditional cottage. It's traditional, quirky, small yet perfectly formed. It was lovely to put our phones away and switch off from the world. Situated in a quiet village with places to eat, beautiful surroundings and fantastic walks on the doorstep I would totally recommend this little home. Great communication from James dad who met us with the keys and gave us a whistle stop tour of the house' history. I'll be telling everyone I know to book a visit.

Had a lovely one night in Castleton, in the area to watch the Tour de Yorkshire. This event however led to parking restrictions which essentially meant no parking in the village. James was very attentive, as was his Dad, offering parking about 1.5 miles away, with personal chauffeur service to compensate! The cottage is a real treat, a bit like participating in a 'back in time' documentary. Such a special opportunity. Really well stocked kitchen, easily made eggs, toast and coffee for breakfast. Beer also enjoyed, as was the pub over the road and the Fox and Hounds where the food, drinks and service were wonderful (Peter's recommendation). Would highly recommend the cottage, though probably for short stays given the small dimensions and lack of TV/wifi or (for us)phone signal, though these have their advantages.

This is a great place to be based from. It's very cozy but has everything you need. Good communication from the start from James's dad who met us at the cottage. The history of the cottage is interesting too. We were left tea, milk, beers, bread and eggs! I found some lollies in the freezer too! It was warm, comfy and in a great location. Lots to do on your doorstep, good pubs (with food), local shops, the railway, lovely walks etc. The coast is only a short drive away. Great value for money, would highly recommend and would love to return.

Had a lovely stay, the cottage was filled with character. The bedroom was very cosy. The host was very welcoming and helpful. No TV and wifi was unusual for us but we managed! :-)

James's dad, Peter welcomed us on a Sunday afternoon late November, we met at his address just down the road from Castleton and then followed him to the cottage by car where he let us in and showed us around. The cottage was very small, but we expected this from the description (actually, probably even smaller than it looks in the photos and the description). We found this a positive though, as it was extremely cute and well presented, and being self contained, rather then a room in a house like most airBnB's we have stayed in before, it really seemed like a luxury. Peter was very helpful and interested in our sight seeing plans, and he also gave us some useful hints and tips on where to go. The kitchen fridge was stocked with the basics including half a dozen freshly laid eggs, a loaf of bread and some milk. There were also a couple of local craft beers in the fridge which was a nice touch. I did bring some groceries with us, but there is a Co-operative near by if required. The cottage has an extremely small kitchen. As a short/small person myself, I had no trouble though. If you were 6 feet tall, or larger build you might find it awkward. But for a small kitchen, it was very well equipped for cooking basic meals, including most cooking utensils and a small electric stove and oven. We found the place relaxing, nicely decorated, with a comfortable bed and ensuite. I could have happily just stayed in the cottage the whole 2 days we were in the area. Easily heated cottage, with an electric fire place.. No mobile phone reception for us (with 3 and vodafone) and no wifi, unless you want to go across the road to the local pub. We took this as an opportunity to relax and unwind without the distraction of technology, instead with a book, or read a few maps and tourist brochures about the area which I found in the cottage. There were also some old board games in the cupboard, so we played a few rounds of chess with a glass of wine. You can relax in the bath tub upstairs. The pub across the road was not serving meals on a Sunday night, so we walked about half a mile down the road to another pub which served delicious large meals, with friendly service. All in all a great winter escape to the country! I would love to go back again if possible one day.

Lovely little town and cottage

Exactly as it says on the tin - a tiny, cosy cottage in an idyllic location.
