The property's remote and peaceful setting is appreciated for tranquillity, though its distance from local amenities and attractions is noted, which may not suit everyone's preferences.

The comfort of the property is generally praised, but there is a subjective note regarding the underfloor heating being too warm for some guests, which suggests a slight variance in comfort levels.

Facilities are described as high-quality with modern conveniences, though there is a mention of a challenging staircase for some guests, which could indicate a potential issue for accessibility.

    We were even greeted by the lovely owners saying if we had any questions we could contact them about anything. We did actually ask if the heating could go up any further and they did this for us remotely! The log fire was amazing and cosy to full asleep in front of after a trip out each day. Beautiful view of fields and horses in front of the barn. Highly recommend the Postgate pub.

  • Eileen

    It was well furnished and spotlessly clean. Everything we needed was provided . As we opened the door we were greeted with a vase of flowers, a scrumptious cake, tea, coffee, wine and milk in the fridge - very thoughtful. Neil and Serena were very friendly and helpful and are rightly proud of their project. We enjoyed a few evenings playing darts in the Stumble Inn which was very quirky and great fun ! Be aware that the staircase in the third bedroom with the mezzanine bathroom could be difficult to negotiate for those of advancing years! The location was very peaceful, very quiet with views across the fields. You must be aware that this property isn’t in the village- it’s at least 2miles from anywhere. It’s a good half an hour or more to drive to Whitby or any other places if interest around some extremely winding and steep lanes - but that’s how it is in this part of the world!
