Well designed and equipped with charming owners in a good location for us and with 2 super restaurants nearby.

4 SEPTEMBER 2017

Applewood is a beautiful property with very welcoming hosts. We loved the homemade cake and the gardens. A perfect weekend,

29 JULY 2017

Property was only recently refurbished but was overall of a high standard and well equipped. Welcome basket was excellent as was the village and surrounding countryside. WIFI would be a bonus.

1 AUGUST 2017

From the owner ~ we are desperately trying to get broadband to the cottage, but have been bounced between BT and Openreach for last 6 weeks despite hours on the phone and many emails.

17 JULY 2017

This is a newly completed and perfectly presented property with everything needed for a perfect stay. One of the very best we have encountered, reflecting the loving care that the most helpful owners have put into it. Thoroughly recommended.

18 JULY 2017

Applewood is a lovely new addition to our portfolio and we are really pleased that you liked it so much.

5 JUNE 2017

Beautiful accommodation and gardens. Attention to detail by the owners of this property was exceptional. Hamper provided was way beyond our expectations. Quality goods which were very much appreciated.

1 JUNE 2017

Applewood was a lovely, newly refurbished property in a wonderful location.
The house was small (perfect for 2) but had everything we could possibly want and was beautifully designed and decorated. Phil and Anne, the owners were very friendly and helpful. The freshly baked cakes on arrival were a special treat!

25 MAY 2017

Lovely brand new property-comfortable and tastefully decorated. Large very well-equipped kitchen and secluded garden to sit in. Great hamper and home-made cakes. Pretty village and easy to get to the coast,countryside and towns. Will visit again!

Great place to stay. A little difficult to get hold of the owner to arrange pick up of the keys as she had a particularly busy week at home. Would stay again.

16 AUGUST 2017

home from home. absolutely gorgeous. just needs some drawers in the single bedroom and maybe a coffee table or some small end tables for drinks, maybe a side light for softer mood lighting as over head lights give me a headache. luxury 5*. truly loved it. the drive in is poor though and needs a sign.

24 JULY 2017

Didn't really see the housekeeper so felt it lacked the personal touch and the garden was not checked as dog poo was left by previous occupier.
Other than that excellent, clean and spacious accommodation in a beautiful rural location. So close to 5 stars!

13 JULY 2017

Amazing place everything you could possibly need Catherine has thought of everything. Thank you so much! The dog Rex had a great time too! Would definitely recommend and return.

14 JULY 2017

Wow. What lovely feedback for Keepers Lodge. We are delighted that you and Rex had a wonderful holiday.

26 JUNE 2017

The property itself was excellent. Clean, beautifully spacious and in full working order. A really lovely property. We were a little surprised at how close the property is to the owners home. The property has large, bi-fold doors which are fantastic but actually the property looks into the owners property. This didn't spoil our holiday at all but we didn't get any feeling of the position of the property from the property details.

23 JANUARY 2017

Lovely warm welcome. Beautiful property. Would return

17 JANUARY 2017

Might have been nice to see housekeeper - we felt we lacked the 'local knowledge' touch.

3 JANUARY 2017

Beautiful cottage exceptional quality and friendly owners. Perfect location to explore North Yorkshire

4th time of staying at the apple store. Excellent cosy cottage. Owner very friendly & welcoming. Always sorry to leave

8 AUGUST 2017

Beautifully clean and well furnished home with attention to detail, as well as bonus of hospitable hostess.

2 AUGUST 2017

The place was very well equipped and clean. Liked the selection of books. Sadly as the weather was quite wet we weren't able to use the outside sitting areas. The settees were quite low. The housekeeper was very friendly and helpful. The hamper was excellent.

28 JUNE 2017

Very comfortable and homely! Very highly appointed with a high standard of comfort and cleanliness. Super large, fluffy towels and high end toiletries! Love especially the welcome hamper and fresh flowers. Our hostess made us feel Very welcome and it was great to have access to the grounds and fields to walk in the evening.

29 JUNE 2017

What lovely feedback for Apple Store, thank you so much.

12 JUNE 2017

Lynn and George are always so welcoming - nothing is too much trouble for them. They are the perfect hosts.

The Apple Store is beautifully furnished and decorated throughout, with amazing gardens for the kids to explore. Whatever the weather, it's the perfect spot to spend a week away from it all.

Our family has been going there for ten years - and looks forward to many more.

14 JUNE 2017

That is the best recommendation of all - visitors who have returned to the same property for ten years! Thank you for your lovely review and we look forward to making your booking for next year.

22 FEBRUARY 2017

Beautiful cottage - would definitely book again.

13 FEBRUARY 2017

The Apple Store is a lovely cottage and the standard was excellent. Lynn is an excellent host really helpful. We have been a few times and will be booking it again.

10 JANUARY 2017

Beautiful cottage in a wonderful location.

5 DECEMBER 2016

Delightful spot, enthusiastic & committed owner who has established a cottage of quality. And a brilliant hamper. Thank you

16 NOVEMBER 2016

It is a pleasure to visit this cottage, everything about it is first class. It reflects the owner who is pleasant and helpful. Overall a excellent experience.

14 NOVEMBER 2016

Beautiful accommodation, exceptional attention to detail.

10 OCTOBER 2016

Our previous RR cottage had been appalling so we were quite apprehensive with this booking but my goodness, what a difference; Apple Store is an excellent property and I would recommend it to anyone. The standard of fittings, bedding, towels and supplies was superb. How pleasant to have plenty of dishwasher tablets too, not just enough to use one a day! The hosts are very welcoming and hospital and the hamper was delicious. We plan to return.

26 SEPTEMBER 2016

First class. Very welcoming, excellent standard of housekeeping and real attention paid to detail in this lovely cottage. From first contact with the owner to our departure we were made to feel very welcome which contributed to this being a very enjoyable stay.

15 SEPTEMBER 2016

This is the third time of staying at the apple store. A very lovely, cosy & well equipped cottage. The owner is extremely helpful and makes you very welcome. It is a cottage i will certainly be returning to

23 AUGUST 2016

Beautifully clean and everything you could wish for provided. Very impressed. Lovely decor, orchard to walk in, spacious comfortable lounge. Nice village pub. Central position for the area. Could live in the cottage all the time!

15 AUGUST 2016

Lovely property with everything you could wish for, in an excellent location for touring the beautiful countryside, towns and Castle Howard.

9 AUGUST 2016

Lovely additional touches and immaculately clean cottage. Beautiful bedding and accessories. Fab owner on site too!

13 JUNE 2016

Excellent

18 APRIL 2016

best cottage we have ever stayed in. Very kind, helpful owner. Great facilities. amazing welcome hamper

24 MARCH 2016

Lovely cottage and very helpful owner. Hamper and decor and comfort excellent. I feel at this price wifi should be abailable as there was not even a mobile phone signal in the property and although a pay phone is still mentioned in the details it has been removed. It is lovely to get away from it all but in this 24/7 work day world not always practical.

This cottage is fabulous. The owner, Jo has made sure that everything you need is provided. The welcome basket is truly wonderful. The cottage is situated in a idyllic peaceful little village. Great base to explore the North York Moors. Cannot say enough about this lovely cottage. Gold star recommendation from our family!

What wonderful feedback for lovely Heather Cottage. Thank you so much.

22 AUGUST 2017

Schoon en goed uitgerust huis. Uitgebreide welkomstmand. Mooie omgeving.

23 AUGUST 2017

Bedankt voor uw mooie feedback. We zijn verheugd dat u genoten van uw verblijf in Heather Cottage.

24 JUNE 2017

Excellent holiday cottage in great location. Well equipped, very comfortable and lovely welcome hamper!

8 MAY 2017

We're glad you had a lovely time at Heather Cottage. The cottage offers so many lovely things and the owner wants her guests to thoroughly enjoy their time there. Thank you for your recommendation, we look forward to welcoming you back again.

5 JUNE 2017

Cosy and comfortable for two. Spotlessly clean and well appointed. Loved the fresh flowers on arrival and the well supplied welcome hamper. Heather cottage also has a very pretty garden.

17 MAY 2017

Very comfortable cottage. Certain small details (e.g. bigger TV, more powerful shower) might be worth investing in. Housekeeper Jo was very helpful and friendly.

29 JUNE 2017

We are glad you foundthe cottage comfortable and were made to feel welcome. We appreciate yourfeedback. There is a now a new 32"smart TV at the cottage (as well as good WiFi). The electric shower has also been replaced. We hope to welcome you back to Heather Cottage in the future.

19 FEBRUARY 2017

Certainly not up to the standard expected of a Rural Retreats property and not worth nearly £500 for two nights there in December. The kitchen floor is filthy all over, but is especially bad near the cooker and sink: it looks like very old grease that has become black with dirt over time. It was freezing in the kitchen and the downstairs toilet, which didn't have a light bulb that worked. Two sections of the toaster didn't work. The bedrooms were very warm (there are storage heaters upstairs) and the beds comfortable. Both had good ensuites (one with a bath, the other with a shower).

8 MAY 2017

Thank you for reviewing your stay at Heather Cottage. I am sorry that you experienced some housekeeping shortfalls. The owner of the cottage would have visited during your stay to rectify them had they been made aware. They have replaced the toaster and the light bulb and cleaned the kitchen floor. I am glad that you found the bedrooms and en suites comfortable

9 FEBRUARY 2017

Water pressure terrible- not great for our guests in the twin room especially. A pump really is needed! Sadly we won't be returning as always look for a dog friendly cottage.
The cottage was well equipped and very cosy with the woodburner.

8 MAY 2017

A little note from the owner: We are pleased that you found the cottage well equipped and cosy, but sorry you felt the water pressure was unacceptable. Maintaining the character of a country cottage while meeting modern-day demands is always a balancing act. The water flow to all the sinks is normal, the hand-held shower is adequate and a decent bath takes ten minutes or more to run, which may not suit everyone. The water flow in the kitchen has been vastly improved. This cottage is having a trial without dogs but I am sure Rural Retreats look forward to welcoming you to one of their dog-friendly properties in the future.

1 DECEMBER 2016

Very comfortable and well equipped.

28 NOVEMBER 2016

Heather Cottage is a well equipped holiday cottage and was clean and comfortable. However.......the hot water supply to the rear ensuite bath, the front ensuite shower and the kitchen sink was nothing less than disgraceful. It took 20 minutes to run 1" (yes....one inch) of hot water in the bath. Considering the price we paid for this cottage for the weekend I would not book this property again until assured that this problem has been fixed. This is unacceptable and from a previous comment in the visitor book, this problem has been highlighted before....and clearly not addressed. It is not unreasonable to expect a hot bath/shower in November.

8 MAY 2017

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at Heather Cottage. We are sorry to learn the issues you were having with the hot water. I have been in touch with the owner and she explained that the tap in the middle of the bath has to be on the correct setting fully (ie. shower/bath) and then the hot water flow will work as normal. This has been tested this morning by the owner. Regarding the pressure, the owner is looking into options to improve the hot water flow to the kitchen and is also considering fitting in a pump but noise could be an issue. It is a pity that you didn't contact the housekeeper during your stay as this issue could have been resolved.

24 AUGUST 2016

I thought it was very average and the downstairs needed updating ! Not up to the usual standard for rural retreats although location was fab

8 MAY 2017

Thank you for your review. I'm sorry that you felt the ground floor of the cottage needs updating. Heather Cottage is cosy and comfortable especially after a long walk in the countryside.

27 JUNE 2016

It was very nice, lovely quiet village. Very well appointed, clean cottage

14 JUNE 2016

Housekeeper hard to get hold of when phoning for key details - had to try 3 times to get a response but this was probably because she was at work. The Welcome pack was excellent - request for stronger coffee was met - could not fault the cottage. Exceptionally well equipped. This was our second visit as we had enjoyed the first one so much

24 MAY 2016

Property okay except lounge was not particularly comfortable. Properties should have wi-fi these days.

We stayed in Galatea - cottage attached to Whitby lighthouse. A beautiful spot if a little off the beaten track. However there was everything you need for a perfect stay.

17 SEPTEMBER 2017

A cosy, comfortable cottage with everything you could ever need.

18 AUGUST 2017

The lighthouse house is in a beautiful location with stunning views. Very peaceful. I would have given 5 * if there was a wifi. Because there's no signal to plan a day ahead was difficult as we could not use the internet to research the area fully.

16 AUGUST 2017

such a nice and peaceful location

3 AUGUST 2017

An excellent cottage in the perfect location. This was our 6th visit to Galatea.

4 AUGUST 2017

The best recommendation of all - 6 visits to Galatea!

22 JUNE 2017

Brilliant location in a comfortable and secure environment. Everything as stated on website. We much enjoyed the welcome basket.

22 JUNE 2017

Thank you for your lovely review of Galatea.

14 JUNE 2017

Very pricy but worth paying for the amazing location and history. Great welcome hamper. We booked the adjoining cottage too and sadly there were some issues with that one which took the shine off the trip, but Galatea was fine.

14 JUNE 2017

Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Galatea.

10 JUNE 2017

Excellent location. Matched description. Loved the proximity to the coastal path, easy to walk into Whitby. Abundant wildlife, particularly the roe deer, and the kittiwakes on the cliff top

5 JUNE 2017

Amazing location and wonderful property.

18 APRIL 2017

The accommodation was damp,smelly and mouldy.The mould behind the bed would constitute a serious health risk to someone with respiritory problems and low infection resistance.Also generally grubby and tired.Carpet was a trip hazard and needs replacing. Not happy at all having spent twelve hundred pounds plus for the week. Definitely not worth the money and so not a pleasant holiday.

18 APRIL 2017

I am sorry to hear that you found the cottage damp. We have contacted the housekeeper to ask that they carry out a full investigation of your comments. After which we will write to you under separate cover.

30 JANUARY 2017

5 SEPTEMBER 2016

Loved the welcome basket it was also very clean and tidy

28 JULY 2016

Our fifth break in Galatea was just as enjoyable as the previous four! The cottage is very comfortable, and feels like a home from home. Particularly appreciated was the extensive welcome pack that got us successfully into the week. Not forgetting the amazing views...well it is an ex lighthouse keepers cottage! We would certainly consider returning for visit number six.

7 JUNE 2016

We really liked the accommodation. It was expensive for three days but the location is superb. Full marks to the house-keeper - the place was very welcoming after a long drive. Heating was on. Lovely hamper. Thank you very much.
The cottage is great - views are magnificent and the fact that you are right on the coastal path is a huge bonus. The walk into Whitby is easy and picturesque. The kitchen is very well equipped. Lovely towels and bath products.
Couple of minor things - the CD player did not seem to work and the pay phone didn't work. There is no mobile phone signal. If you walk 500m along the coast path towards Whitby you start getting a signal.
Carpets could do with renewing. All in all. A a good break though

12 MAY 2016

We would have preferred known in advance that there was no radio, phone reception or internet. We would suggest the addition of a radio for local news and weather. Otherwise we loved it.

I am so sorry that you feel that the cottage was a let down and I am investigating your complaint.

11 JULY 2017

Excellent venue and lovely welcome pack . Bonus being dog friendly. Although I agree the garden furniture needs replacing this did not spoil our fabulous stay at the lighthouse . Highly recommend for a holiday break . Something different

5 JULY 2017

Cottages and grounds were stunning. However, the garden furniture was of unacceptable standard, old and in need of repair or replacement and several of the chairs were unsafe/unusable. When you pay so much for a stunning outlook the outdoor furniture should be of a high standard. This needs rectifying urgently.

6 JULY 2017

Thank you for your lovely comments about Vanguard. We are extremely sorry about the outside chairs and, having spoken to Trinity, new outdoor furniture has now been approved for the site.

14 JUNE 2017

Nice cottage, amazing location, great welcome hamper. However, tv had no satellite reception and was useless, dangerous loose patio slab and lots of broken patio chairs were disappointing given the high price.

14 JUNE 2017

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased that you liked the cottage and the hamper and you thought the location was amazing. I am extremely sorry about the tv reception and the broken slab and I have highlighted these issues with Trinity. The patio chairs are now being replaced and thank you for highlighting this issue for us.

7 MARCH 2017

Very comfortable. Hamper appreciated. Warm & clean. Fantastic location.

13 FEBRUARY 2017

A unique property in a beautiful spot. Winter may not have been the best time to visit, to fully appreciate it!

9 JANUARY 2017

We really loved everything about the cottage but on the details it said the garden was enclosed which was important to us as we have two dogs. However, there was an open section so we couldn't leave our dogs to enjoy the garden on their own as had to watch that they didn't escape!

4 JANUARY 2017

Had not been checked prior to us coming, drawers still had paper and tags in, carpet in the lounge very dirty and equipment in the kitchen not working, also chipped glasses and cup. Drain also did not work in the shower

9 NOVEMBER 2016

Housekeeping - good, very clean, HOWEVER, need to review contents of drawers, matching tea set not complete which was a shame. Website said telephone available it wasn't - not usually a problem but we had building work going on at home so made life more difficult. Broadband hub there, but couldn't connect to it, so better to keep broadband code out of sight, made it look like we could link as it was left so handy, normally would just enjoy being unreachable but sometimes it isn't always possible to just 'disappear'. Other than that, fabulous location, very clean and has potential. Hamper appreciated and good contents.

7 OCTOBER 2016

A number of lights were not working - bathroom, main bedroom bedside, external. The sink waste in the bathroom was broken and there was mould around the base/grouting of the shower and sink. There was also mould/damp around the kitchen sink.
Otherwise a spectacular holiday venue.

30 SEPTEMBER 2016

Lovely and clean. Smelt nice.

26 SEPTEMBER 2016

Well equipped & comfortable cottage in a lovely location. Was ideal for visiting nearby relatives

5 SEPTEMBER 2016

Can't fault it , very clean and tidy love the welcome basket

30 AUGUST 2016

Had difficulty contacting housekeeper re 2 minor faults, i.e. poorly draining shower tray and TV remote not functioning. Left messages on answer machine but did not get acknowledgement so don't know if received. Problems very minor and did not detract from a wonderful time.

23 AUGUST 2016

Spotlessly clean but some items missing (eg washing up liquid) and some very low/inadequate supplies (detergent, toilet paper, dishwasher tabs).

6 AUGUST 2016

Problems were dealt with very quickly.

13 JULY 2016

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location. Well decorated- lovely and bright. Beds really comfy! Great hamper of goodies on arrival.

A lovely location and well presented cottage. In our feedback to RR we suggested turning the family bathroom into a walk-in shower (rather than a shower over the bath) to be more accessible to elderly or restricted mobility guests and to add grab rails for increased safety. This was NOT a negative for us but a suggestion for other guests who may have access problems.

19 SEPTEMBER 2017

Having used Rural Retreats for many holidays we were slightly disappointed with this property. The initial call to the house-keeper to arrange key collection was met with puzzlement as she had no record of our booking. She was going to check and call back, but didn't and I had to call her again and then it was sorted.

The welcome hamper felt very mean in comparison to usual, 1 apple, 1 banana and the like.....just not as generous as usual. There is no microwave in the kitchen, despite this being in the standard equipment listing. Finally the master en-suite shower room is very small. for someone who is 6'2" tall it was very restrictive.

Despite these minor grumbles, the property is well equipped and well worth a visit.

4 AUGUST 2017

Beautiful house, fully equipped. Pity one of the showers was leaking so we could only use one bathroom with 6p is a little crowded. Quick and understanding response from the caretaker service though. The house is rather far from supermarket/shops.

13 SEPTEMBER 2017

Thank you for your fee back. I am very pleased that you thought Wesley House was beautiful. My apologies for the leaking shower but I am glad that the caretaker service were prompt with their help.

22 JULY 2017

Beautiful house in pristine condition. Probably the best equipped kitchen we have ever had. Lovely, well-tended garden with good quality proper garden furniture.

24 JULY 2017

What a lovely review. Thank you so much.

14 JULY 2017

The house was beautifully and tastefully decorated and everything was of the highest standard. We did, however, encounter a few problems:
- no warning was given about the spiral staircase, which proved difficult for my disabled son. Elderly visitors and young children could also find it a problem.
- there should be an extra (higher) bannister for safety at the top of the stairs just as you turn into the twin bedded room. Coming out of this bedroom, particularly in the dark, could prove dangerous.
- a hook on the back of the door to the small en suite bathroom would have provided a place to hang a towel.
- there was no microwave in the otherwise well stocked kitchen. When on holiday not everyone wants to have to cook everything from scratch.
- we realise that this is not just a holiday let but we didn't appreciate the family's fox tails and stags heads on show.
Otherwise it is a wonderful home and we loved staying there.

18 JULY 2017

Thank you for your review and for your kind words in the guestbook. We are delighted by your really lovely comments about Wesley House and we are so glad that you enjoyed your stay there. Regarding the problems -we actually mention the spiral staircase in our property description - Sitting room with wooden spiral staircase. Do ask our booking team for their suggestions for suitable properties for your son and they will be very happy to help. The owner has considered putting a hook on the back of the bathroom door but decided against it as the hook would have to be at head height. No, there isn’t a microwave at the property. The owner doesn’t wish to have one in the kitchen and therefore we don’t list it.

Already explained. Maybe think about price compared to similar sized properties.

From the owner - I am so pleased that you were reunited with your belongings and look forward to seeing you again at Wesley.

22 AUGUST 2016

The cottage was very clean, but there was a problem with the integrated hot and cold kitchen tap, which we were told was awaiting replacement. Only one of the TVs worked and we could find no replacement bulbs for the 6 failed lights on the landing and the ground floor. There was a warning about ensuring the shower door in the bathroom was properly closed, which clearly presented a problem as water did leak out and came through a light fitting in the kitchen on 2 occasions. Judging by the slight staining around this fitting it had happened before. There were no wardrobes in 2 of the bedrooms only coat hangers and chests of drawers. Finally, although we did not need it we were unable to locate a key for the first aid cupboard, identified in the house instructions book.

12 MAY 2017

From the owner - Thank you for bringing these points to our attention. I have made a note for future guests to contact our Housekeeper so she can deal with any snagging details immediately instead of after their departure. I can assure you everything has now been rectified; there is now a stock of light bulbs downstairs, the medicine cupboard was always open (it has no key) but we have a new knob on the outside, we have a brand new kitchen tap, all the TV's work (I can only guess that one of the leads had been replaced wrongly), Sadly we cannot accommodate wardrobes in two of the bedrooms as it would detract from their charm but there are hangers on coat hooks and plenty of drawer space. I do hope that you enjoyed your stay at Wesley House.

15 AUGUST 2016

The lights failed 1st night and the mess the electrician made was not cleared up by the housekeeper only us.
Then we were asked to stay in to let him in obit holiday not value for money for 4 nights at 1247.00
Worst stay I've had

12 MAY 2017

This from the Owner - Such a shame the lights failed, unfortunately this was due to circumstances beyond our control however the problem was rectified as soon as was possible (these things happen in an old property from time to time I'm afraid). We have contacted you directly to rectify that situation and offer compensation. With regards to your comment to us about your daughter's hay fever, as Wesley House is located in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside and near a working arable farm , the pollen count can occasionally be high. Sadly this is beyond out control.

4 APRIL 2016

The house was lovely and spacious I would recommend it. We had a lovely stay. The area is nice and quiet but close to ripon and other sites. Although the kitchen and cupboard contents needs a good clean.

It was a real treat to stay in this fabulous property: plenty of room for 6 adults to spread out and relax. The weather stayed fine for us to enjoy the extensive garden and we made full use of the local pubs too.

13 SEPTEMBER 2017

Yet another great review for Lonsdale House. Thank you so much.

29 AUGUST 2017

Great house and beautiful gardens. Everything was well maintained and well equipped. My only suggestions would be to have at least one large or full length mirror somewhere within the house, in the hallway or in one of the bedrooms. Also due to our fantastic weather I would have made use of some sun loungers. Unfortunately the loft hatch fell open in the middle of our last night there which was a little disturbing in the early hours. After jumping out of my skin I then got out of bed and tried to close it but it wouldn't stay shut. The welcome hamper and wifi service was superb, and I would highly recommend this house and my suggestions are a minor detail.

11 AUGUST 2017

Superb accommodation the pictures do not do it full justice. Clean, high spec, lots of room and a great quiet location. Just 40 mins to York park & ride and approx 60 mins to the coast, with plenty more to see on the doorstep. A great base for any holiday.

8 AUGUST 2017

We had such a lovely family holiday at Lonsdale House, it is such a homely place. The house is so well equipped all of which is fantastic quality.
The House and garden are so spacious and the location is perfect. We had one small issue with the boiler and this was sorted out very promptly by Zena, Thank you.

17 JULY 2017

An absolutely lovely house in a wonderful location .We stayed there on the weekend of my daughter's wedding but were disappointed we couldn't spend longer enjoying the house and garden.The housekeeper was very helpful and there was a lovely welcome pack when we arrived.We can highly recommend Lonsdale house.

Lonsdale House was just perfect for our pre Xmas stay. A beautiful house in a great location. A big thank you to Zena for decorating the house for us. The house was spotless and the hamper was impressive.

1 DECEMBER 2016

LOVELY PLACE!

7 NOVEMBER 2016

Exceptional. This is a fabulous 'home', brilliantly appointed and spotlessly clean. The housekeeper could not have done a better job.

10 OCTOBER 2016

To the usual high standards

28 SEPTEMBER 2016

Absolutely beautiful house! Every small detail was thought of by the housekeeper and her efforts were very much appreciated. Want to live there!!

30 AUGUST 2016

The owners seem to have thought of everything.

15 AUGUST 2016

Although there was a high level of cleanliness, it was not absolutely spotless. We We did enjoy the property and would definitely return however a few minor points: There was no sun umbrella for the outdoor table and there was a lamp without a working lightbulb. There were also no instructions about what to do with the key when vacating the property and although there were four adults we had only been left with one key between us.

27 JUNE 2016

Very happy with all aspects of the accommodation including cleanliness and very good hamper. Would highly recommend this property.

Wonderful location and property - contained everything that was needed and more, in excellent style, comfort, space and ambience. Stunning views too.
Only quibble was that the downstairs bedroom did not have an opening external window/door which meant it was a little musty.
Also I recommend some highlight tape on the small step in to the back larder with the big fridge - couple of us (absent minded adults) tripped on that.
Great holiday tho', thoroughly enjoyed by all.

8 JUNE 2017

The location was fabulous with stunning views. Hillside Farm was a great property, well appointed and a great place for a family holiday. There were 10 in our group including 4 children but it had plenty of space so we wern't on top of each other. I would recommend it and hope to book it again.

13 JUNE 2017

Thank you for your lovely recommendation for Hillside Farm. We look forward to booking a holiday for you there again.

27 MARCH 2017

Lovely property and location, ideal for family gathering. Addition of shower in family bathroom was appreciated - property info on line needs updating.

1 MARCH 2017

Facilities as described and impeccable

5 NOVEMBER 2016

Need to review arrival directions, no yellow road covering. Larger signage at gate would help. Cottage amazing but needs stair carpet looking at as fraying and worn which could prove dangerous

25 OCTOBER 2016

Extremely underwhelmed with the cleanliness of the property. Couldnt help but feel we were being fobbed off with the 'turn the wifi off and on' to get it to work (needless to say this did not work.) Also, the stay was not helped with an unwanted rodent taking up home in the attic, most nights we were kept awake with the noise above us. A note was left about this, and we atleast expected some form of apology- perhaps an email or phone call from the property owners!! Poor.

5 SEPTEMBER 2016

The cleanliness of the house was very poor, mould and mildew in the shower and utility room, overflowing litter bins, poor electrics, inadequate shower facilities and dangerous carpets on the stairs.

24 AUGUST 2016

Overall very good, but the (many) Windows need to be cleaned.

26 JULY 2016

Very good, but not quite excellent, property. The ground floor bedroom and bathroom had a damp smell, probably due to poor ventilation. We enjoyed Whitby very much. The property is in a very good location and the view from the property is lovely.

19 JULY 2016

The house was immaculate! Rooms were very comfortable and welcoming. Small problem with bathroom having carpet material on floor becoming wet from shower. This was difficult to avoid!

13 JULY 2016

Fantastic location, didn't see the housekeepers which I much prefer but Holly made clear she was around if we needed anything. A fantastic holiday was had by all!

All you may want to consider is a warning re steep roads for access and egress. Not a problem for any of us but some may find their cars can't handle it.

22 JUNE 2016

The cottage was beautifully clean, with a large, very well stocked welcome hamper on arrival.

28 APRIL 2016

Great cottage, nice and clean, lovely welcome hamper thank you.
Puzzled why the large bathroom has such a tiny shower cubicle for 8 people to use. The upstairs ensuite had no shower either (only a bath)which was not clear in advance and disappointed our guests. Overall I would recommend it.

25 APRIL 2016

Cottage was clean and lovely to walk into. It is well furnished and the beds are very comfortable. Kitchen is well equipped and we found everything that we needed. We had a wonderful four days there, thank you.

20 APRIL 2016

Brilliant house, loads of room for all of us. Immaculate condition. Housekeeper does a wonderfull job, keeps it like a 5 star hotel, even better. Beds, pillows, sheets, towels wonderful. Welcome basket really welcome. Great location, great views. Family would return in future. Thanks.

4 APRIL 2016

Everything was as we had expected except that the large main lounge was very cold in the evenings even with the fires on. Also the radiator wasn't working in the downstairs bedroom making that whole area quite cold. The housekeeper had had problems with the heating and it did take 24 hours for the rest of the house to warm up properly.

22 MARCH 2016

What a beautiful place for a peaceful break with friends and family the views were breathtaking . The barn conversion and living room was stunning plenty of space for 10 people . I would really recommend this property and would like to use it again myself .

2 MARCH 2016

Farm house was fabulous and clean only let down was the wifi service very slow.
