  Lovely well equipped cottage in a beautiful location, ideally situated for Whitby, Grosmont - Goathland, Scarborough.

  In fact you can walk out of the front door and enjoy stunning walks without travelling anywhere. The pub ‘The Horse Shoe Inn’ is literally next door a 20 meter walk across the grass where you can grab an excellent meal but you definitely need to book as it’s virtually impossible to walk in and just get a table! If you can’t get into ‘The Horse Shoe Inn’ then the pubs’ sister pub which is 2 and a half miles away is an excellent option, seems to be easier to book a table in here called The Fox and Rabbit’ also an excellent meal. I walked down to Levisham station a couple of times to see the steam trains it’s a one and a half mile walk ( just over 3 miles there and back) the hills on the way back are quite challenging as they are seriously steep! It’s also possible to walk to The Hole of Horcum from the cottage which is a beautiful setting. Nearest shops are back in Pickering where we stocked up out supplies, there’s a LIDL and a Spar As for the cottage itself everything thought of, well equipped and comfortable, shower wonderful after a hot sweaty day walking, washing machine and line outside to dry, everything except the two armchairs in the kitchen which for some reason didn’t have their cushions on them and we spent the majority of our time sat on these with small cushions as substitutes as it was so cool temperature wise in the kitchen area. The only other thing that we didn’t like was the recycling arrangements, everybody by now recycles and it’s instilled in us and I have no problem putting bins and boxes outside to be collected by the bin men whilst on holiday but taking our bottles to bottle banks in Pickering which is seven miles away is a no go for us!

  Fabulous stay at Oak Tree Barn for myself, my partner, sister-in-law and sprocker spaniel.

  The Barn was immaculately clean, well equipped and very welcoming and we were very thankful for the ceiling fans in the bedrooms on the unexpected hottest week of the year. The garden was perfectly secure without us having to worry about our dog escaping although we did have to watch him with the hedgehogs he found. We had 2 cars in our party and both were easily accommodated off road in front of the garages to the property as described. The owners were wonderful in communicating and ensuring we had all we needed and going above and beyond with the extra welcoming touches which were very much appreciated. The property is perfectly located a short walk from the centre of the village where there are some good pubs and other eateries (we enjoyed The Buck Inn dog friendly and the fish and chip shop twice as we hadn’t realised that food serving stopped so early in the evenings so did get caught out a bit). The village itself is a good base for those who want to head out to visit the towns/city, experience the outdoors/ beach/sea or not do much at all and just stay local and enjoy some peace and quiet and the scenery so a good mix for all. Nothing I would change about the Barn or the holiday. Hope to come back soon. Thank you for our well needed stay.

  Oak Tree Barn was absolutely lovely, not only is it in a great location it is a great place to stay.

  Our first impression of “this is fantastic” stayed with us throughout. From the well stocked kitchen to the wonderful cosy living room and comfortable very clean bedrooms. This really is a home from home. We were welcomed with a lovely gift hamper that was quite personal. Chris the owner obviously checks who will be staying for the week. We even had welcome text upon arrival. It is the little touches that make a difference. I can also see in colder weather the house would be very warm, with lots of heating and a wood fire stove in the sunroom. As stated this location is perfect to explore the Yorkshire Moors and beyond. Thornton le Dale has great amenities which is a very easy walk. With larger places such as Pickering and Malton a short drive. We have every intention of returning.

  What a find.

  This cottage ticks all the boxes. Just like home, well better than home, because we don't have a pub next door at home. My only request would be to have a smart speaker in the kitchen, but otherwise everything was better than expected. We had some lovely walks, although we passed on the walk down to the station because our dog couldn't jump over the stile at the top of the hill, and the walk along the road was very narrow in places, so we used the car. Park all day only £3, [Pickering is £7], but then you will have to get the train The pub next door, was very busy and we had to book 2 days in advance, even then they could be fully booked. Cant wait to return to Manor Cottage, as I said earlier what a find. Many thanks to the owners for renting this property. 5 stars

  On arrival at the property we discovered the property hadn’t been serviced which was alarming at 3:30pm but a phone call to the owner resolved this by 18:30 which was ok as pub next door!

  The emergency clean was to a very high standard and after that was a comfortable stay! The only negative from us personally we live in the middle of nowhere and this property was on the main road which was extremely busy during our stay and obviously very noisy for us! There is a shared access to access the garden so the dog couldn’t be let out directly into the garden but no drama! I wouldn’t return to Ducky’s on a personal note but if you’re used to town and city noise I’m sure this wouldn’t bother you! Fantastic place Pickering for pubs etc and Dalby Forest and the Hole of Horcum fabulous dog walks! This isn’t a negative review but my own personal view!
