  We were generally happy with our stay at Derwent House Farm.

  A few changes would make the cottage a better prospect. 1) The information describes the cottage as having a well equipeed kitchen, but the cottage does not have a proper oven/hob/grill. The compact worktop oven in the cottage is not ideal. 2) The oil fired heater, which is sited under the worktop, is massively over-powered for the needs of the cottage. We were almost too warm, despite the cool weather, even though we turned the thermostat right down. Running the hot tap or taking a shower generated a lot of heat directly from the oil burner itself. The burner would be far better situated outside the cottage, perhaps in a small lean-to. This would also cut down the noise generated by the burner, which could easily heat a barn. 3) A small but important point, the fridge, (which looked very new), makes a very annoying noise, a pure tone, which is impossible to escape and became nauseating after a time. I have no sulution to offer in this case.

  We had such a great stay, honestly just what we needed!

  We were greeted with the lovely Kate when we arrived and left us to our weekend to enjoy, but was also on the phone if we needed anything. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind with our dog who really enjoyed the secure paddock and the peacefulness as I’m always training him in busy places, so I think he needed it just as much as we did. We did however have some time at the beach and just felt like we were abroad. We ended up sitting in the sun enjoying the sounds of wildlife in the paddock and couldn’t be more relaxed if we tried! The cottage itself was nice and cosy and had basically everything we needed for a short stay. We’ve been recommending it to everyone we know and will definitely be back. Thank you so much!! Xx

  The cottage was perfect, cosy and well equipped for a holiday stay.

  The combi boiler meant instant hot water without having to work anything out and the shower was excellent (I have longish hair and sometimes showers just don't work). Instruction manuals were in place for all the kitchen equipment. Fantastic location for trips out to the moors or the coast, although, at night, the entrance from the A170 Pickering - Malton road took some finding - at first. Plenty of wildlife (hares, lapwings) and truly dark skies for star gazing. Kate was on hand if we needed anything (which we didn't) but otherwise we were left to enjoy our stay in complete peace. We, and our german shepherd, Genna, had a lovely time. Would highly recommend.

  We had a great week at Dewent House Farm and were especially impressed by the owners desire to make sure we had an enjoyable time.

  The location was perfect and had privacy but help near by if we needed it. The adjacent paddock was ideal for peaceful sit, especially in the evening - we could only hear bird song. Next time we will bring the dog! The house worked well for my wife as she has limited mobility, but could maybe have a grab rail in the shower. A couple of extras such as an iron/ironing board, chair in the bedroom, some hooks to hang coats etc and a little more crockery/glasses would make the holiday home perfect. Once again the owner was more than willing to hear any suggetions. We really do look forward to returning to such a lovely part of the world and such a warm welcome.

  We stayed at Derwent Farm for 5 nights.

  This cottage is amazing in the most peaceful and tranquil location it’s got everything you want and need. It was spotless, warm and cosy. It may not have a full size oven ( which we were aware of after reading the cottage description) but the mini oven with hobs along with the George Foreman etc was more than adequate. The fully enclosed paddock was perfect for a 6 month old cockapoo and just being able to open the cottage door and knowing she was safe made the holiday so much more relaxing. In these Covid times we felt very safe! Thank you Kate Can’t think of anything this cottage is missing. Keep it just as it is
