What our customers say about their holidays

  On arrival the cottage was clean and tidy.

  However, it was only a surface clean, there were spider webs and spiders that had to be got rid of. The work surfaces and table were not clean. The lighting switches were all mixed up and wrong way round, on was off and off was on. There was no landing light. There was no main light or pull cord in the bathroom of the double bedded room, only a shavers light, which made the lighting dim. The cutlery had to be washed before use and some of the plates too. The curtain pole at the landing window came down when curtains were closed. The toaster tripped the fuse on our first night and we had to make contact with yourselves and the named person on the folder in the cottage, which was difficult as no mobile signal and the phone box we were told to use was overgrown and not working. Once we found out where the fuse box was, we could ask the guests to flick it back for us. However, physical help was not available, so had there been no guests or they were out we would have been stuck with no electricity for a night. We had a fridge full of food and children, so this would not have been ideal. Information in the booklet was not correct about the phone box, there was no information about the rubbish, recycling, washing machine or what to do with the laundry at the end of our stay. We found out about the rubbish and recycling ourselves, though these bins were overflowing! The laundry, we stripped the beds and put it in a pile in each room as didn't know what else to do. However, we had a nice stay once settled and will have a cottage again, but this was not a nice experience for our first time.

  Stayed here with my wife, son (4), son (5 months) and one dog….

  This place is amazing! Provides all the comfort of a big hitting holiday park or hotel but is remote and small enough so your stay is very personable and private. The welcome pack and ‘rules of the house’ make you feel that you’re staying with family providing you with a make yourself at home vibe. The attention to detail is subtle but when you see it you can only but appreciate the work that has gone into these family built lodges. Fresh free range eggs everyday from the hens and Thornton le dale village a 5min drive away for any other bits you may need. Pickering is another 5-10min beyond that. Plenty of local farm shops as well if you truly want to buy and support local industry. Unless you’re aiming for a complete break from the outside world which these could truly give you then there is also plenty of things to do with you not requiring to drive for anymore than 40-60 min. The one and only point I do have but it truly makes no odds to me but might for future guests is, there was no electric BBQ but was on the listing as a feature. Unless there was one but I failed to see it then my bad. I will 100% be staying here again.

  This is smaller of the two cottages.

  Lovely cottage with everything you will. Nice touch of tea, cake and milk for something after long drive. The patio area is nice and the kids area up at the field with trampolines and slides and goals was great. Had great week here apart from people staying in the other cottage head NO thought of others around them. Allowing their children to knock on our window . But that not the worst. Owners have in the handbook no noise after 10pm however they where loud well after this and on couple occasions after 12am. We decided to leave a day early as we could not put up with it anymore. Guess we where unlucky. But as said the cottage was amazing. If anything I would update the TV and maybe a whirligig for putting washing out on as the wee white frame not the best

  From start to finish we got the wow factor.

  Pulling into the property we thought it was stunning then all the wee touches inside were truly heartwarming. Nicole and Scott have truly thought of everything and clearly put the work in. My pooch Petal gave this a 5 paw out of 5 rating with all the dog friendly touches including a wee bed, dog treats and a note of dog friendly places nearby. Anybody thinking of booking absolutely go for it and try the fresh eggs from the hideout hens who come and greet you at the fence when you go walking by. All in all our week at this beautiful property gave us the tranquility we needed, I'm already trying to plan our return again.

  Amazing properties, the best we’ve stayed in!

  We stayed in Foxes Den last February so couldn’t wait to return. We have also booked Eagles Peak for Christmas. Scott and Nicole have done a fantastic job with these properties, such high spec and comfort, everything has been thought of and catered for. They have horses on site so are always around checking if everything is ok. We loved feeding the chickens and their eggs are the best website tasted. There is a pub at the bottom of the driveway and Thorton-Le-Dale and Pickering are a short drive or bus away. Whitby and Scarborough are a also good day trips. Highly recommended and can’t wait to return!
