What our customers say about their holidays

  We had a great couple of weeks here in Esklets Cottage.

  The house was perfect for us, a family of four - 2 adults and 2 teens. Castleton is a really good base with walks straight out of the doors, great views, a pub, tearoom, coop and fancy deli all in the village itself. The village is also on a trainline which makes for car-free possibilities too and there's lots to do within striking distance by car as well. We swam in the sea, in waterfall pools and the gorgeous Helmsley open-air pool; walked by the sea, on the moors and in lovely dales; visited castles and abbeys and the excellent Ryedale Folk Museum and ate our own bodyweights in local cheeses and cream teas. The cottage itself had everythinhg we needed including a very well equipped kitchen with a large dining table and a place to sit outside. It's clear too that the owners have made a special effort to make their guests welcome - the information folders about the house and local area were brilliant and the homemade cake, eggs, milk and biscuits left for us on arrival were very welcome. Highly recommended.

  We liked it so much that we've booked again for October, but for longer.

  We spent every evening on Saltburn or Whitby beaches. Places like Eden Camp and Beamish are an easy drive away. The train station is handy too, our 6 year old loved a trip to Great Ayton on it. The cottage itself is quite large. A large living room and a kitchen diner, but also 2 hallways, a downstairs loo, utility and a cupboard with lots of puzzles and games. There are 4 bedrooms on the next 2 floors. The master bedroom has a king bed with a fabulous mattress. There's even a basket of emergency period products. The amount of storage in the property is great, there are so many build in cupboards! The only downside is the lack of railings on the raised area of the garden and we found the bins a bit small. Parking is also a bit of a nightmare due to a very large mini bus mainly. But apart from that it was absolutely perfect for us.

  We had a lovely time in Esklets Cottage.

  The cottage was perfect for us. Everything we needed was provided in fact I think the kitchen had more utensils etc then my own kitchen. The shower was good and the cottage was warm. The bed was very comfortable. It was great being able to do lots of walking from the door in fact I think we only used the car about 4 times in the fortnight we stayed in the cottage. Although the car parking is on the road we had no problem parking on the days we used the car. We liked the fact that the village had a pub and a Co-op. We would definitely go back to this cottage and area in the future.

  This cottage was superb in all aspects including all facilities, the comfort and homeliness , where it is situated and how clean it was.

  There was a lot of useful information in the home guide and also the local guide folder. Also a very nice touch with the provision of a delicious Lemon Drizzle cake on our arrival. The area is very quiet but very beautiful particularly if you like walking. The village has a pub and a coffee / breakfast hall and a very useful co-op store who supply most things you need for your stay. There is also a Bakery which sells very nice pastries etc. We would certainly stay at this property again, no hesitation.

  The cottage exceeded our expectations.

  it was clean, comfortable and had everything you need to stay for the week. The lemon drizzle cake the owners left was fabulous. The cottage was situated on the main high street. a very short walk from the local Pub and COOP store. The top tier of the back garden Looked our over the North Yorkshire moors. A stunning location and a lovely warm welcoming house. We would definitely rebook if we were coming back to the area. .
