Guests say
Boundcliffe Farm is a well-received cottage, praised for its spaciousness, cleanliness, and welcoming touches. Guests enjoyed the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, and additional facilities such as a games room and outdoor play area. The location is ideal for exploring the North York Moors, coast, and nearby towns. The hosts are commended for their hospitality and thoughtful gestures, such as freshly baked bread on arrival.
The cottage is consistently described as spotless and very clean, with only one mention of needing to clean upon arrival. This indicates a high standard of cleanliness maintained by the owners.
The location is frequently praised for its convenience to the coast, countryside, and attractions like Dalby Forest and Whitby. The absence of a village pub or shop nearby is noted but does not significantly detract from the overall positive reception of the location.
Guests found the cottage comfortable, with spacious rooms and homely touches. Comfortable beds and a cosy atmosphere are mentioned, although one review noted some mattresses were too soft, slightly affecting the score.
The property boasts a well-equipped kitchen, games room, and children's play area, which were hits among guests. Minor issues like poor quality cutlery and an oven that may need maintenance were mentioned but did not overshadow the overall excellent facilities.
The hosts' thoughtfulness is highlighted through gestures like freshly baked bread and cakes on arrival. While these gifts greatly enhanced the guests' experience, it is politely noted that such personal touches, though common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

The area is an ideal location for forest walks, visiting Flamingoland and the surrounding market towns of Pickering and Kirbymoorside. The house is extremely spacious with more than enough room for 10 people - the kitchen has every utensil you need if you want to cook (I made a fabulous Sunday dinner) and is a huge space with a good sized dining table. The sitting room has a wonderful log burner which makes for cosy evenings by the fire. The games room was a must for our teenage grandson and daughter. Beds are comfortable with good pillows. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the owners are next door should you need anything but as we didnât we were just left to enjoy our holiday. Great stay, highly recommend.
