  A plain but nice cottage.

  We had a comfortable and pleasant stay. Beautiful area with all that you need only a short walk away. I found that the kitchen could have been better equipped with a larger array of cooking equipment, if we hadn't taken our own pressure cooker, frying pan and wok I feel that we would have struggled to cook the kinds of food that we prefer to eat - spaghetti bolognaise, stew and curries etc. -- for our family of four never mind a family of six. We couldn't get the tin opener to work so struggled to open cans. There also wasn't a useable potato peeler so we struggled to peel vegetables (which wasn't ideal as I struggle with hand disabilities) we did though mention this to Kristen when she came to do changeover cleaning so perhaps this will now be addressed for future users. We also mentioned to the property maintenance manager about the light over the back door which he said no-one had mentioned before -- we struggled to see our young dogs when taking them out for "toilet" at night, our dogs don't like torches either and the lights from the kitchen and bathroom weren't bright enough either (maybe consider a movement sensor light on the outer bathroom wall?) -- and he said that he would advise to get that changed. Kristen did mention that no-one had ever given them feedback like this before so I suppose this would be why these things haven't ever been resolved. One other thing we struggled with was parking as visitors' cars seemed to being parked anywhere they could find a space leaving holidaying people with nowhere to park. Has it ever been considered to remove the grassed areas in front of the cottages to provide off road parking for guests or would this be a planning permission issue? All in all a lovely week away for us and our two young spaniels

  This is a lovely, warm and cosy cottage with the added bonus of 4 little ponies as the neighbours!

  It was a well equipped kitchen which made it great for enjoying meals together. Our almost 2 year old loved collecting apples from the garden. Outside the kitchen window was an active bird feeder which was calming to watch. There was a very nice welcome package. It's very useful having the bathroom downstairs to supplement the one upstairs. Great location for walks, trips to the North York Moors (we went to Whitby bay and Robins Hood bay - great day trip) whilst being close to the conveniences of North Allerton (Betty's tea rooms there is lovely). We did a trip to Thorp Perrow (arboretum, kids playground, birds of prey and mammal centre) and the Forbidden Corner (absolutely amazing maze, with sculptures and labyrinths - strongly recommended!). The only improvement is that we didn't find a clothes horse we could use indoors so it made a bit tricky to dry clothes after washing them. Thank you for such a lovely stay!

  The cottage was a perfect getaway.

  The village of Osmotherley has great amenities and we really enjoyed walking our dog on the footpaths around it and visiting all the dog (and child) friendly pubs. The play area a short walk away was a lifesaver for lazy afternoons. Many beautiful historic places under national trust were within a short drive away as well as the lovely villages of Northallerton and Thirsk. The cottage itself is simple and clean and the beds and sofa were so comfortable. We had everything we needed. The back garden was well enclosed for our dog. The only criticism I have is that I wish there was a clothes horse to hang up some washing. There is a makeshift washing line outside but it rained/snowed for the majority of our visit. With two young kids and lots of muddy clothes we really needed to get a few loads done and somewhere to hang it.

  The washing line was dreadful.

  It was left in a heep under a tree in the dirt. We had to string it from trees across the garden. No clothes props and few clothes pegs. Could do better. Garden could have been lovely but it was full of weeds and had a large patch of nettles which wen wet drooped across the path. I pushed them back. The kitchen is small so I can’t see how you could fit a dishwasher but it would have been a advantage. Their is nothing you can do about the parking outside the cottage but it was a nightmare. We were in the position that we worried we couldn’t get near the cottage and cut activity’s short to get parked. We had to what till the pubs and restaurants closed to get parked. During the day’s walkers park hear too. If we had known we would not have booked.

  Webstone House is a gorgeous cottage in a stunning part of Yorkshire.

  The cottage has a lovely homely feel, is well equipped and very well located for getting around North Yorkshire. I spent many a happy moment watching all the different birds, from tiny Robins, stunning Pheasants to the village Peacock wandering down the lane. The Gardens are lovely and the whole place is peaceful, its a real sanctuary wasted if you are planning to just sleep and go - I recommend time is taken in between days out to stay 'home' and enjoy the cottage and amble around in Thimbleby, or walk up to Osmotherly, its all delightful. There is Clay Shooting near by but I didn't find the gunshot sound intrusive and wasn't happening all the time. The Host was friendly and quick to respond to any concerns I had.
