  Sorry but we felt rather disappointed in this cottage.

  For the money I expected a few luxuries, like tables beside the bed to put a cup on, not a dressing table with no access under the roof beams. It would have been nice to have a mirror with a shelf for makeup that was lit enough to see and/or a dressing table. The sofa was so slippery it was barely possible to sit on. The kitchen had the basics but I felt, as in other reviews sadly, that I had to wash things before use. The cupboard cupboard for food had sticky shelves which I covered in paper towel and the frying pans had to be washed before use to get rid of the grease still on them. One of the lamps didn’t work and had a broken plug. Thankfully the bed was comfortable and the shower worked well. The bathroom was very clean. Generally though, I’m afraid, it was not à comfortable experience and we did not wish to linger longer. I was shocked to find that the cottage that I had paid a lot of money for, for 3 nights, was definitely not the end to our holiday that I was looking forward to. I paid almost half of this to two other companies and they were well appointed and pristine- a hotel and a private accommodation.

  I have given the property information a score of 2 purely because of the parking information. It has as the website states "off-street" parking for which scratch cards are issued, what it doesn't tell you is that the "off-street" parking is about a 15 minute walk from the property and that whilst you can get to the property by driving along Church Street this is a very tight cobbled street for which vehicular access is very restricted to certain days and times and parking outside for any period of time for off loading luggage etc would block the street. I really feel this should be made clearer on the website as should you be on your own with small children and dogs this could be quite stressful and not easy to manage. Apart from that the cottage is lovely with amazing views and couldn't fault it.

  We had a great time, the location suited us as we have a farm back ground which in this case suited us down to the ground.

  It was just comfortable for a few nights, clean and facilities were what was expected and of course dog friendly.The property had fantasist views into the valley and the North York moors beyond, well off the beaten track down a gated road, which suited us. Chickens in the yard and ponies in the stables, sheep on the moor and rabbits every where. Due to a booking problem it wasn't quite ready on arrival but was soon sorted and made ready. The bathroom was clean as was the kitchen and linen. A big log fire kept us warm in the evenings. Pubs and eateries not far away and easy driving to Whitby and the beaches, moors and valleys

  We’ve just got back from a short break at the nook.

  It was absolutely perfect from start to finish. We received a lovely welcome from the owners. Upon entry in to the cottage we were left a very thoughtful welcome pack. The cottage is absolutely as the photos show, it’s a small one bed that is immaculately presented. The owners have thought of everything. It’s situated just outside of Glaisdale in a remote valley. Walks and cycle routes on the door step, but only 25 minutes into Whitby. The grounds are amazing and perfect if you have a dog, they can have a good run in the “paddock”. We thoroughly enjoyed our short break and will be sure to return!
