Very friendly welcome. Ideal location for cycling and walking.

I enjoyed the quiet location of the cottage. The fresh flowers were a nice touch. The cottage was warm and cosy and a pleasure to sit in during the evenings. Did not use the pool because I am recovering from an operation but would do in the future and it is an added bonus.

Great location and great cottage. It's very picturesque and quiet. The swimming pool was lovely and there were a couple of nice playgrounds for the kids to play in - very safe and enclosed. The grounds are really well kept. A nice cottage with some lovely touches - nice bedding, nice furnishings in the living room, great bubbly-bath! Fresh flowers were a lovely touch. A credit to all involved - what a gem!

Excellent position for young children as it opens onto the play park. Lovely pool walk along the viaduct, which is about 15 minutes to Whitby, much easier than paying for parking. A lovely place and we will visit again.

The cottage was very well equipped. Fresh flowers on the windowsills were a nice touch.
Mrs Liddle, Washington, Tyne and Wear

The situation of the property next to the viaduct was stunning, feeding the ducks and swans along the river and use of the indoor heated pool was great.
