  We had a wonderful holiday at 1 Brow Cottages.

  The cottage is lovely and full of character, but also comfortable, with both central heating and two traditional wood burning fires. Newly decorated throughout, we thought it was a lovely place to come home to each evening. It had all the amenities needed, the beds were comfy, and it was clean throughout. For those who need it, the wifi worked perfectly - our 10 year old played on his console while we there and had no complaints. The cottage felt like it was in the middle of nowhere (which we loved), but it also wasn't too far from main roads; we found it easily, and it was close to many local villages and beaches. During our 3-day stay we explored Whitby, Runswick Bay, Staithes, Goathland, and Sandsend Beach. At the time of our stay dogs were allowed off lead on all beaches, so our pooch had a great time (they're not allowed on some beaches between May and September). For anyone with dogs, there is a large, fully enclosed garden at the back in which you can let your dog out to play. This was perfect for our greyhound and meant we could safely let him out in the evening for a run. It's worth noting that out the front there are often sheep roaming about, so this space at the back is ideal. Finally, Derek (the owner)'s welcome email was also very helpful. It had all the information that we needed for a great stay. If we're holidaying in this area again, we'll definitely stay here, and we'd recommend the cottage to family and friends.

  1 Brow Cottages is a quirky stone built cottage in a remote location of the Yorkshire Moors.

  It has a contemporary feel which compliments the original old features such as stone floors and beamed ceilings. It is generally very well equipped with most of the things you would need for your holiday. We were fortunate enough to have lovely weather so spent most of our time outside (useful because the TVs signal is very erratic and the channels available very limited). There are some very steep hills in the immediate area which really test your calf muscles but are worth the effort for the beautiful walks right on your doorstep. Whitby and Scarborough both have dog friendly beaches and places such as Robin Hoods bay and Runswick bay are well worth a visit. The owner, Derek, is very approachable and responsive via email and will do his best to resolve any issues should the need arise. The cottage is very dog friendly as our spaniel, Rusty, can attest to! He loved the secure, large lawned garden as did we and most evenings we sat out watching the woodpeckers, swallows, curlews etc. Dog owners should be aware that due to the number of free roaming sheep/livestock in the area there are also a lot of ticks and tshould ensure pets are treated before arrival.

  The cottage is delightful.

  It's old so bear that in mind. The stairs are steep and narrow but an overweight, arthritic 67 year old managed them easily with care! There are no frills but everything is top quality. The double bed was the best I have ever slept in...and I'm a fussy sleeper. The garden is vast and secure and ideal for inquisitive dogs. The heating is easy to manage; I didn't use the two woodburners at all during my stay but they would have made it very cosy. The cottage is quite remote and very peaceful. My only "better if" would be there was no washing up liquid and only rather dodgy looking hand-wash. Don't expect a welcome pack, but there were sachets of tea coffee and milk available in an emergency. You will need to bring your supplies with you...the village shop in Goathland has the bare essentials only. The directions and information from the owner were excellent. If my knees will stand it, I'd certainly book again! The area is beautiful, even in the wet and wind....of which there was a great deal.

  Just had week at brow cottage amazing.

  Beautiful cottage scenery mind blowing and so quiet. It is remote but that's what we wanted. Pub at bottom of the hill worth the walk good pint of black sheep. Whitby 15 min drive trenchers fish and chips a must Gothland worth a look Gothland hotel ( Aiedensfield Arms ) for a pint. Would recommend the hotel opposite for food Inn on the Moor great value. We did get lucky with the weather. Cottage had everything we needed. Two really niggly things because of the great weather spent alot of time in the in garden which by the way is huge table and chairs have seen better days and just a fridge with ice box struggled to get a bag of ice in it. Ideal for pets completely enclosed. Sandra next door is a diamond insisted in taking the bins out there if you need her not there when you don't if that makes sense. Highly recommended we will be returning

  The cottage is in an amazing position.

  Views all around, quiet and peaceful. Enclosed back garden that's terrier proof! It is exactly what it says. Basic, old cottage. Had everything you'd need. Any queries the owner is very helpful- even in New York! Walks straight from the door. Goathland is very close by, we walked there a few times with our 8 year old. We were lucky we had fab weather so spent most of our time outside. We went to Whitby and Sandsend, plus visited NYMR in Grosmont, also in walking distance. You can hear the steam train from the cottage. We'd definitely come back to this property. If you want luxury in a busy town environment and amenities on your doorstep this isn't for you. If you want to relax with peace and countryside, a slower pace, enjoying the wonderful Yorkshire Moor views, walks all around, within 20 minutes of the coast book it!
