  A lovely cottage in the perfect location.

  Very well-appointed and comfortable. It kept its rustic charms whilst still been modern in terms of appliances, facillities and features. The cottage's position overlooking the hillside and valley is used very advantageously in the design and it provides a wonderful backdrop both physically and as a view from the windows. We loved dining outside and overlooking these views. We had a couple of issues over patchy wi-fi connection, unavoidable I guess given the relative remoteness of the location, but they were always sorted quickly and without fuss and I suspect if we'd had any other issues that would've been the case also. The driveway is a little steep and difficult to negoiate in places and if you ever able to be in a position to change this I think it would serve the overall experience of the cottage well. One other thing that occured but didn't actually come into play whilst we were there, is the proximity of the two cottages on site to each other, with regards to privacy especially when outside. The other cottage was empty when we were there so it didn't apply, but we felt had it been occupied it would have prohibited us slightly in enjoying the outside and the garden as there was not enough of a fence seperating the two and not everybody is comfortable in sharing what is essentially a communal space with total strangers. We loved our stay at the cottage and can not speak highly enough of it.

  A lovely break away at a beautiful place.

  Denise & Chris were so welcoming & very helpful. Meadowsweet is a renovated grain barn and it was just fab! Lovely seeing the chickens wandering round, alongside lots of pheasants and lovely Casper the dog and Gaz the cat! The driveway is quite lengthy with potholes as previous guests have also mentioned, and steep in places too, so just go very steady up & down. We also struggled to find the cottage via the directions, but stopped at Goathland post office who pointed us in the right direction (back to Goathland Church from the post office and then right at the mini roundabout past the Mallyan Spout Hotel and follow the road quite a good while, then Murkside Cottages eventually on your right, just past a forest). All in all a really lovely stay, the place was just beautiful (beds so comfy too!) and scenery was stunning, lovely to wake up to each morning and could see the steam train in the valley too at certain times of the day. We were also not far from a lovely little village called Egton which had a great little pub called The Witching Post Inn. We recommend! Thanks again for a lovely stay!

  Meadowsweet is an outstanding property.

  The views and position are simply stunning. The track down to the property we found to be well maintained, rather fun and well worth the effort. We saw Red Grouse, Red Squirrels, a Hare as well as having an incredible view of the barn owl swooping down the valley. The hot tub is a welcome addition to this well thought out and tastfully renovated property. The owners, Denise and family, were very friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Casper and Olly - the owners dogs were also great company, eager to play but happy to stop once told! We all fell in love with the peace and quiet: lovely walks can be found without getting in your car. A highlight for us was walking to Goathland from the property and having Sunday lunch at the Inn on the Moor. The best Sunday lunch we have had. We all had a great time at Meadowsweet and would highly recommend it.

  Wow! Wow!

  Wow! I cannot recommend Meadowsweet highly enough. It was perfect in every way! All of the extra touches were so very appreciated! We were greeted by the most wonderfully decorated barn with presents for all of us under the Christmas tree! Denise is just so warm and welcoming and so generous and thoughtful. We had a wonderfully festive welcome basket and fresh flowers in every room. The barn is incredible and a true testament to all of the hard work that has made it more than a home from home! Everything is just perfect from the original stone walls and stairs to the most breathtaking views. The hot tub was amazing and we loved the clear skies under the moonlight! Everything about our week was magical and perfect and we will definitely be back. Thank you so very much ❤️

  In a word, Perfect.

  Made us feel so welcome. Introduced us to all their animals. Beautiful countryside, peaceful atmosphere. Great for the soul. Stunning, cosy house, loved being surrounded by the many different sounds of the wildlife. Owners are so warming and friendly. Made us feel at home, left us gorgeous flowers in every room, fresh eggs from their own chickens and a tray of yummy treats. Had everything we needed. Short drive to the whitby beach. Big garden for the kids to play. Eldest two really enjoyed the hot tub. Couldnt have wished for a more peaceful setting for our much needed holiday. So many happy smiles. Cant thank Denise and her family enough for giving us such an amazing place to call home for the week and for all the wonderful memories we made.
