From reading the reviews and viewings the photos I had a great feeling about the property and felt it really suited the escape I had in mind. And it surpassed all my expectations. The view and idyllic setting of the property, the cosiness of the cottage and the communication/instructions from the owner and responsiveness was all exceptional. I can see why it has so many returning guests. The guest book was great for tips on where to see the wildlife and where to visit. I can't wait to return. Thanks again

A lovely place to spend Christmas, fully equipped to be able to cook a traditional dinner. The cottage is very warm, we had no need to use the wood burner, which I was disappointed about The cottage is ideally placed within reach of amenities. We visited the Abbey, church and the centre of Whitby on Xmas Eve & travelled into Sandsend on Boxing Day for a bracing walk on the beach.

A great location and very cosy cottage. It is close to the town of Whitby. We did not expect to be in the middle of heavy snow and high winds, but we could see the dramatic weather changes in a warm and safe place. Our comfort zones were truly tested in a very positive way! Our host was very helpful and understanding. We definitely need to come again!

What a find! A little gem of a cottage, cosy, spick and span and lacking nothing. The sea view was breathtaking and the bed was sooooo comfortable, I didn't want to get out of it! Thank you so much Joanne for providing us with the means to have a well deserved rest and brilliant break.

Had a wonderful time really enjoyed the peace & quiet.Lots of great walks from the property in all directions. Easy stroll into Whitby where you can get the bus to Staithes and walk back to the property or train to Grosmont & also walk back. Communication was first class & a great nights sleep was guaranteed. We were also very lucky with the weather.

Good communication with host with quick response time. A very well planned out barn conversion. You relax as soon as you enter! A bright, fresh, clean welcome. Terrific location with easy reach of local area and further afield. Beautiful sunrises from the roof window and a plethora of wildlife from the stairs window, along with picturesque sunsets.
