About this property
A beautiful contemporary property resting in Lingdale, Greencroft is an excellent base for a family or group of friends looking to explore North Yorkshire. Park off-road and enter into this lovely contemporary property, boasting a fantastic open-plan living space with seas of light pouring in through bi-fold doors. The kitchen houses many handy amenities in stylish furniture, ideal for cooking up a storm, and guests can enjoy a meal together at the dining table, overlooking the gardens. After a long day of exploring, the charming sitting area encourages you to settle down in one of the leather sofas with a cup of tea and reflect on your day. With quirky wallpaper and an opulent feel, as well as the addition of a handy cloakroom, this is a great social hub for guests to enjoy. Freshen up in the contemporary bathroom before settling down into one of the three bedrooms, including a tastefully furnished master with king-size bed, a spacious double and a twin. Outside, dine alfresco at the patio area, enjoying breakfast in the sunshine, and here you will notice extra accommodation horses. The property rests just a short walk from a grocery, butchers and a pub, great for an evening spent with a glass of your favourite beverage. Lingdale offers access for avid birdwatchers to the scenic Margrove Ponds Nature Reserve and is also within reach of the coastal town of Saltburn-by-the-Sea. Here there are more amenities and attractions including a large sandy beach, ideal for watersports, wild swimming and beachcombing, Valley Gardens and a local golf course. Enjoy the beautiful scenery at the village of Staithes, checking out the independent shops and tasty eateries, and Captain Cook Museum, and explore the wonders of the North York Moors National Park either on foot or bike, immersing yourself in history, heritage and wildlife. The attractions of Whitby and Saltburn are easily reached in a scenic car journey, providing fantastic days out. All of this and so much more with a stay at Greencroft.
The small village of Lingdale lies on the northern edge of the North York Moors National Park, 4 miles from the former Spa town of Saltburn-by-the-Sea. Surrounded by open countryside, Lingdale has a local pub and shops for everday needs. Saltburn has excellent amenities such as good restaurants, tea rooms, individual shops and art galleries. There are also good sandy beaches with a splendid historic pier. Lingdale village is a great base for visiting the pretty coastal villages of Staithes and Runswick Bay, which lie on the Heritage Coast, renowned for its Jurassic fossil hunting trips. From Lingdale there is also easy access to the seaside towns of Whitby and Scarborough, and of course, the stunning scenery of the North York Moors.

The house was comfortable and a good size for up to 4 people (there were only 3 of us though) with plenty of space for parking and in a beautiful location. The views from the front of the house are of rolling fields and out to the sea at Salburn and then to the rear more fields full of bunnies and horses which was a lovley thing to wake up to each morning. The area is gery quiet and we found the house a peaceful and comfortable retreat to come back to after a day of exploring. We found the hosts pleasant to chat to in the few interactions we had with them. There were a couple of things that we felt could be improved and would really make this 5 star accommodation (and are the only reason we can't give the full 5 stars). The biggest thing is the cleanliness, the place is in desperate need of a deep clean. There was food remnants from the previous guests on the floor and sofas downstairs, the kitchen counters were greasy, rubbish under the beds and the bedrooms were very dusty. There were a few maintenance issues also with cupboard doors being faulty and trim fallen off in the kitchen, which could do with attention. In the kitchen there are only very minimal glasses and crockery provided which we feel could be increased a little, namely tumbler glasses which there were only 2 (a bit of an issue when there were 3 of us) and only one plastic cup. Finally the bedrooms would benefit from some additional clothes storage such as a chest of drawers - there is definitely room for some in the 2 larger rooms and the smaller room really is only suitable for 1 child due to its tiny size. Overall and despite the things mentioned above we enjoyed our stay and would return if holidaying in the area again but would hope that the issues mentioned above are addressed to really make this a perfect home from home. We would still recommend to friends and family but would mention the issues to be mindful of.

The shops were basic and no eating establishments in walking distance. Other than that the property and location were lovely.

The property was clean, well situated and as described. Even the weather didn't damp our spirits and we still managed to get out and about!
