Guests that stayed at this property said
The property is consistently described as clean, with several reviews highlighting its well-prepared state upon arrival. However, a few guests mentioned specific instances of outdoor furniture needing cleaning and an overpowering smell of garlic, which suggests room for improvement in certain areas.
The location is highly praised for its picturesque village setting, proximity to local amenities like a bakery and pubs, and ease of access to the coast and moors. It serves as an excellent base for exploring the surrounding areas.
Guests find the beds very comfortable and the property spacious. The presence of a wood burner and a cosy living area contribute to the overall comfort. However, some guests suggested that additional amenities such as a downstairs toilet would enhance comfort for larger groups or those with mobility issues.
The cottage is well-equipped, particularly the kitchen, and guests appreciate the utility room for pets. Some maintenance issues like scuff marks and tears in wallpaper were mentioned, and a few guests encountered minor technical issues. These points suggest that while facilities are generally good, there is some need for maintenance.
While the reviews reflect a generally positive experience, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the property owners. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Lovely and warm too! Loads of space for 3 couples. Clean and close to pub, bakery and the wedding we were attending at Danby Castle The house is super well equipped with lots of kitchen utensils and crockery. Great to have an outside tap to hose the dog down after a walk in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside. Locals in the pub were very friendly too! Would book again when next in the area.

if the owners were wanting to add extra perfection in the future i would recommend a TV in the master bedroom, and also to put a downstairs toilet in the back room where the washing machine is then the house would be beyond prefect. we had a loverly stay and would like to say thank you jean keith and bella the dog.

The owners were very helpful in sending through information before we went and left a lovely cake and teabags for us to enjoy cake and a cuppa. Location, was great for many places if interest such as Whitby and Staithes and the moors. We would go again without doubt
