  This was our first time staying at Blink Bonney Cottage.

  It was lovely the views are absolutely beautiful. Especially from the bedroom watching the lovely pink sky's and odd nights went to bed early just to listen to the birds singing. The beds were very comfy and everything was there we could need. We enjoyed the Guess Who game it was funny. Sitting outside in the sun in the back was lovely then we sat also on the front. We also took the 11.21 train midweek from Glaisdale Station 3 times to whitby and return, if you time it right when you arrive in Whitby you can catch the X94 bus, onto Robin Hoods bay and return to catch the 15.59 train back to Glaisdale. The northern line is called the pretty line, it was beautiful. Our daughter loved it. We also enjoyed visiting Lealholm the next village, another pretty place and did the stepping stones. We filled up with fuel too there, very handy prior to our journey home, and visited the village store which has everything and also the most gorgeous garden centre and local pub. We had a wonderful stay thank you. Sadly our holiday ended on the last night with sad news of my Dad passing away and I think I was meant to be there when I found out, I went and sat by the stream on our last morning and a blackbird visited, it hopped right up to me and stayed for quite some time, maybe it was my dad visiting me one last time, that's what I'd like to think.

  Had a wonderful week away from it all this November in Blinkbonny.

  The cottage is wonderfully situated in the lovely village of Glaisdale, just up the road from the local pub and the train station. The cottage has everything you could need and is very cosy. The owners Jonathan and Rachel leave a welcome pack, of milk, local cake, Rachel's home made marmalade and a Whitby Gazette and are very helpful. There are also provisions in the cottage to use if you want to use them such as tea bags, coffee and all the essential cooking equipment etc. The stairs are quite steep but that wasn't a problem for us and to be expected in character properties. It was so quiet and peaceful and the views were stunning. There are many walks in the area with the added bonus that a lot of the local villages have a train station if you didn't fancy walking home. Whitby is at the end of the line too, so twice we caught the train there and back. I would highly recommend stopping in Blinkbonny.

  We had an amazing stay here at Esk View.

  The cottage was so clean, quiet and comfortable, very light and airy, and the river views and sounds were wonderful. The rocking chair in front of the patio doors overlooking the river was a highlight for the kids. We would have benefitted from a clothes airer. We did use the washer dryer but being a family of 4 in hot weather the airer would have been really useful. We also weren't really sure what to do (if anything) with the bins. We made good use of the NYMR, the cottage is literally a minutes walk from Grosmont Station, which was perfect. The parking was a little tricky but manageable, but we only used it twice during the whole week so wasn't an issue. Brilliant stay, we really didn't want to go home and would love to come back. Highly recommended. Thanks the owners and the cleaning staff who clearly look after the property so well.

  We felt that the cottage had been nicely set up but have to agree with previous reviews about the seating in the lounge area.

  The leather settee and armchair seemed too big and cumbersome for the room and we found them too low and uncomfortable. The heating was not set to the temperature stated in the information pack but being familiar with hive we were able to adjust this to suit us. The parking was awkward as detailed in the description but more detail on exactly where to park would have been helpful, luckily the neighbours were very helpful and accomodating. Additionally, if the shrubbery overhanging the wall opposite were cut back it might have reduced the amount of bird mess on our car. The location was great for access to the train station both the NYMR (heritage steam railway) and Northern Line (unfortunately closed for maintenance during our stay) and in easy reach of Whitby Park and Ride (highly recommended for visiting Whitby).

  This was an amazing place to stay.

  I stayed with my four year old grandson and my husky. Gorgeous and had everything we could possibly need inside the cottage. The only thing we could’ve had that would’ve made our stay 100% was a hose outside at the tap. As the walk from grosmont to goathland has horrid black shale and due to rain and sleet my once white and grey husky was black and filthy. Outside tap was great idea shame wasn’t a hose to do his belly and legs before entering cottage. Views out the windows of the river where beautiful I would definitely stay again. So peaceful. But as it’s a dog friendly place definitely a little hose outside would be a fabulous addition. This place is amazing fantastic walks in the area.
