What a beautiful cottage on a lovely farm, our grandson loved seeing the tractors, the cows being fed all from the safety of the childrenâs playground on site, the downstairs bedroom and shower room, was perfect for our elderly relative, while also providing a double room en-suite upstairs totally private for ourselves, the milk and cake in the fridge was a lovely surprise, to say we were only staying over the weekend, we will definitely be back, such a warm welcoming cottage, near Whitby and Scarborough, THANK YOU
