  7 Dale End.

  ...Just perfect for us and our 2 dogs. So glad we managed to come a cross this gem. Set in Danby a lovely quiet moorland village with 2 great local pubs ,shop & Bakery close to lots of moorland walks & coastal areas by car. The Cottage is very well presented - clean tidy & warm on arrival.Furnished and decorated nicely throughout a mixture of country with a modern twist. Lovely large well stocked Kitchen /dinning area with plenty of pots, pans etc for those who wish cook has nice wood burner in it too had everything we needed.From the kitchen is access to a good size utility room which also has it own access from outside...this was a massive bonus for us with our 2 dogs...perfect for wet dogs to dry off and store boots and outside gear. The utility also had to dog beds in. Another added bonus was to the side of the property is an outside tap with hose handy for washing down muddy dogs,bikes and boots!!!washing machine, small counter freezer and boiler all in utility room. Living room isn't the biggest but lovely, cosy and comfortable Wood burner and smart TV perfect for winter nights in after a day exploring. 3 bedrooms1 bathroom upstairs. We slept in the master bed was massive and so comfortable and splendid views from the window. All bedrooms nicely presented- as was the bathroom. Fabulous garden to both front & Back of property....we loved it & so did our dogs!! We have a Lab & a J.Russell who were both secure in the garden and it is big enough for them to have a play around in..One of the best gardens compared to other properties we have stayed in pevious. Better than in the pictures!! Outside dinning area & lawn at the back perfect for the summer months. We have really enjoyed our stay at 7 Dale End so much so we plan to come back..the property met our needs and we have felt relaxed and comfortable thru out.Would definitely recommend. A couple of slight gripes but nothing major or enough to put us off returning would be bath towels are not very large would prefer later or take own. No Whisky tumbler / small size glasses .No personal welcome hamper like you get at some cottages...all that said it didn't effect of spoil our stay and not the end of the world!! Finally think it is always nice to have a guest handbook for guest to leave feed back for new guest and thank property owners we always enjoy reading previous guest comments first cottage we been too that hasn't had one!! Only issue we had was locating Guest handbook and property info folder not left in normal places you would expect took ages to find and had to ring owner for Wi-Fi code who was extremely helpful and asked if we we were happy and comfortable with the property...we did eventually we did find folder in a kitchen drawer !!! LOL.

  7 Dale End was very comfortable and the kitchen was well supplied with essentials.

  Danby is fairly peaceful and has a ‘getaway from it all” feel. We went out in the car everyday and enjoyed going to the coast, Skinningrove, Staiths and Runswick Bay are favourites of ours and so Danby is a good base and makes a nice change. The views from the back windows have nice scenery to the right. I did sit in the garden and read, not as peaceful as you would think but I did get a few quiet reading sessions in the garden. There are a few things I would like to mention but nothing spoiled our stay here and we had some good sleeps in the very comfortable beds. When we arrived at the house there was an overpowering smell of garlic in the doorway and when we went inside the smell was setting off the fire alarm and hurting our ears and making us feel sick so hubby had to cut back the wild garlic that was growing in the doorway, we were both heaving until we got rid of the smell, there is still some growing around the back of the house. Someone kept parking a blue Hyundai outside the gate halfway on the pavement, this was our only entry/exit making us have to lift larger items over the fence to and from our car and this was parked nearly all day everyday. Just a couple of points to mention but we really enjoyed ourselves and would recommend 7 Dale End.

  We had a great couple of weeks here in Esklets Cottage.

  The house was perfect for us, a family of four - 2 adults and 2 teens. Castleton is a really good base with walks straight out of the doors, great views, a pub, tearoom, coop and fancy deli all in the village itself. The village is also on a trainline which makes for car-free possibilities too and there's lots to do within striking distance by car as well. We swam in the sea, in waterfall pools and the gorgeous Helmsley open-air pool; walked by the sea, on the moors and in lovely dales; visited castles and abbeys and the excellent Ryedale Folk Museum and ate our own bodyweights in local cheeses and cream teas. The cottage itself had everythinhg we needed including a very well equipped kitchen with a large dining table and a place to sit outside. It's clear too that the owners have made a special effort to make their guests welcome - the information folders about the house and local area were brilliant and the homemade cake, eggs, milk and biscuits left for us on arrival were very welcome. Highly recommended.

  We liked it so much that we've booked again for October, but for longer.

  We spent every evening on Saltburn or Whitby beaches. Places like Eden Camp and Beamish are an easy drive away. The train station is handy too, our 6 year old loved a trip to Great Ayton on it. The cottage itself is quite large. A large living room and a kitchen diner, but also 2 hallways, a downstairs loo, utility and a cupboard with lots of puzzles and games. There are 4 bedrooms on the next 2 floors. The master bedroom has a king bed with a fabulous mattress. There's even a basket of emergency period products. The amount of storage in the property is great, there are so many build in cupboards! The only downside is the lack of railings on the raised area of the garden and we found the bins a bit small. Parking is also a bit of a nightmare due to a very large mini bus mainly. But apart from that it was absolutely perfect for us.

  We had a lovely stay in Danby.

  The house was brilliantly prepared for us, we found the guest book really helpful as we weren't sure what to do when we got there. Great recommendations for local things such as the bakery, which we made good use of, and walks (which our dog loved). We used the kitchen most nights because of how well equipped it was, and found the big telly and comfy sofa well needed after an adventure. The house makes a great base because of its distance to places like Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay, although the immediate surrounding area is also beautiful! We will definitely be staying again, and thank you so much for a great week!
