Fabulous cottage so lovingly designed with the most comfortable beds and furniture all of a very high standard. It had everything we needed and more, to include the children’s park area with swing and slide all in a secure garden overlooking the beautiful scenic countryside. The view from the hot tub was fabulous and we took some late night dips to see the star lit sky that was magnificent. The farm pets were a pleasure to visit and feed and loved by the children especially. The owners Mike and Sam were so welcoming and had prepared a welcome pack for us that included a home made chocolate cake that was absolutely delicious. There was nothing we didn’t have as the kitchen was completely full of everything we could possibly want . Having 2 sitting areas allowed the children and adults to sit separately watching their favourite programmes, and all furniture and furnishings were of a very high standard and so very comfortable. Everything was just perfect. A few minutes drive away in Egton there were 3 pubs we visited and all were very friendly. We had a few amazing meals at the Wheatsheaf in Egton and fish and chips in Trenchers in Whitby.

Beautiful country location with far reaching views. Very spacious and beautifully converted barn which was perfect for our party of 10 (3 generations).. So much space, we didn't use the separate living area! Lovely farmyard location (beautifully kept) and very welcoming hosts. Plenty of parking and walks from the doorstep.We'd highly recommend it.
