When Can We Come Back?
Review Submitted: January 21, 2011
Date of Stay: December 2010
After the worst December on record for weather we travelled from all corners of the UK to the snowy North Yorkshire Moors full of trepidation as to how cold we were going to be in an old farmhouse. How wrong we were!!
The central heating was on full blast and the log fire was burning brightly.The owner greeted us as if we were old friends. Somehow we knew we were going to be in for a good holiday.
Within minutes of arrival the Tesco Van arrives with our supplies and plenty of wine!! (Stroke of genius by daughter, recommend to everyone to do this.) So within an hour of arriving it was as if we had lived here forever.
The cottage was immaculate, well maintained, well equipped, and the beds were very comfy. Rooms are a good size and the baths are HUGE, especially the romantic 2 person bath in the attic en-suite, perfect for a stargazing romantic evening!!
The cottage is ideally suited to large families or groups and is deceptively large and cosy. The facilities for the children were brilliant, the owners had provided a stair gate, high chair and even some toys! We had some wonderfull family walks over the cliff tops to Robin Hoods Bay & Whitby itself, and a great time in Goathland(where Heartbeat was filmed).
Must recommend The Magpie Fish Restaurant in Whitby. They accomodated our large party (including children and one with food allergies) superbly, and the fish and chips were to die for! Just ring and book a few weeks in advance to avoid the queues.
There is plenty to do around the area, even in the snow and we will hopefully return for another visit soon.
