We had a fantastic week in the lovely Stables cottage at the end of August. It was perfect for our family, in gorgeous... surroundings and the private garden where our kids could run around safely and freely. The cottage is perfectly located, close to a lot of places to visit. Also Jane and Kevin were lovely and so helpful and gave us some great tips for our days out. Would highly recommend this cottage 😀read more

Granary Cottage is a very well equipped cottage which is decorated to a high standard. The shower was one of the best... we’ve come across in holiday accommodation, great pressure. The cottage is in a peaceful setting, surrounded by fields, but still close enough to local amenities. Kevin and Jane were superb hosts, ensuring we were settled and had all that we needed. The welcome pack was very much appreciated. I am missing the sheep, horses and my morning walk down by the wheat field with Poppy, our dog. Thank you Kevin and Jane for a wonderful, relaxing week in your beautiful cottage. We will definitely return.read more

We have just spent a week of rest and relaxation at The Stables Cottage. Jane and Kevin couldn’t have been more... welcoming. Everything was spotlessly clean and Covid safe. Comfortable beds and fabulous shower only added to the pleasure of returning home after a days sightseeing. The patio and garden were a lovely place to eat or drink a glass of wine whilst watching the sheep and lambs play. This is one of the nicest cottages we have stayed in and can highly recommend it. It goes without saying that we will be back!read more

We stayed at Granary Cottage in May. My wife, small daughter, dog and I had a lovely time. Jane is very friendly and... helpful. The cottage is genuinely cosy with comfy beds etc. Our daughter loved seeing the lambs in the field. And it is a great base to explore the area, either by car or on foot. I would happily stay again and what better recommendation is there than that?read more

We have just returned from a weeks stay in Granary cottage. What a perfect place to stay, quaint, quiet, cosy &... comfortable. Jane & Kevin are a lovely welcoming couple that are on hand if you should need them.Plenty of things to do in and around the area.

We stayed in Granary Cottage with our two boys aged 8 and 9 for half term. The cottage is beautifully decorated and... very cosy, especially when the clocks went back and the nights drew in whilst we stayed. Jane and Kevin were warm and friendly hosts for whom nothing was too much trouble. We had a wonderful time in this beautiful location and will be back bringing our extended family with us as soon as we can. Thanks Jane and Kevin for a truly relaxing stay. Our 9 year old now prefers Yorkshire to anywhere he’s been abroad!read more

Just returned from a week in Stables cottage. How lovely to get away for a while! The cottage was luxurious, ... beautifully presented and the cleanliness couldn’t be faulted. Jane takes every precaution possible to ensure a safe stay with an extremely thorough cleaning routine between visitors which we were very grateful for in the current climate. A good base from which to explore the NYM and the coast. If like us, you like a cosy evening meal in a lovely welcoming pub, try the Cayley Arms at Allerston or the Copper Horse at Seamer and of course fish and chips at Whitby! Five ⭐️read more

We had a brilliant week at Granary cottage. Jane and Kevin are so welcoming and helpful and clearly take COVID... precautions very seriously so we felt really safe and able to enjoy our holiday. The cottage is cosy and comfortable and had everything we needed. The location is perfect for day trips to the seaside and Dalby forest as well as local walks from the door and Jane gave us lots of helpful tips. Our toddler loved going to see the sheep every day too! We will definitely be back!read more

We've just had a wonderful weeks holiday in Stables Cottage. What can I say other than I would recommend it to anyone!... We were a family ranging from 3 years old to grampy's age and everyone was well catered for. The cottage itself is very tastefully decorated and is set in a perfect location. Peace and quiet but very close to coast, moors, pretty towns and villages plus much more. Our hosts Jane and Kevin were lovely, nothing was too much trouble and the hard work they had put in to ensure everyone's safety during these uncertain times was evident. We can't wait to return, and to introduce other members of our family to this cottage!read more

We have just returned from a 2 week stay at The Stables and Granary Cottages with our two 14 year old sons. We stayed... in the Stables Cottage this time, but have also stayed in Granary Cottage. We have had holidays at these Cottages many times over the past few years as it’s our ‘go to’ place to stay when visiting North Yorkshire. Both Cottages are very comfortable and are well equipped with everything you need and set in beautiful peaceful surroundings.There are lots of things to do in the area. We visited the nearby towns and villages - Scarborough, Whitby, Malton, Thornton-le-Dale and Ravenscar. We cycled in and around the nearby villages, Sutton Bank with their dedicated cycle tracks (visited the lovely High Paradise Farm and Tea Room on route for lunch - tasty pizzas) and Ravenscar where we cycled on the cinder track down to Scarborough and back (lovely pub along this track). We bought and downloaded some Treasure Trails at home before we arrived to do once we were here, which were great fun and took you down streets and alleys that you wouldn’t normally go down and gave you some historical/interesting facts along the way.We ate out at The Coachmans, The Grapes, and The Cayley Arms on an evening. Visited Tea Rooms at Betton Farm, Ravenscar and Baldersons through the day for food - all were very good! The fish n chip shop in Snainton is excellent too!Jane and Kevin are welcome hosts as always and everything was clean and felt very safe during our stay here during the current situation.We already have a week booked for next year - can’t wait - until then! 😊read more

Just returned from a fabulous week’s stay at Granary Cottage. Set in a rural and picturesque location but close... enough to all the highlights of the East Coast. Jane and Kevin were welcoming and friendly hosts and were examples of excellence in terms of ensuring the cottage etc was Covid safe. The cottage was extremely comfortable and well equipped. The thoughtful welcome items were gratefully received. We would fully recommend the cottage and the area and would happily stay again if visiting this part of Yorkshire.read more

Just returned from a wonderful, restful week with our 2 teenage sons 19 and 15 and Miniature Schnauzer in the Granary.... This was our first stay here and we were not disappointed! We always look for independent cottages rather than those rented through a company or agent as we find the quality to be so much better! The cottage was spotlessly clean, well equipped and fully covid safe. There was hand gel on the wall outside the cottage and another dispenser inside. Protocols were in place for cleanliness and safety of customers with plenty of cleaning products and covid safe disenfectant for use. On leaving there were bags for towels and bedding to be placed. At no time did I feel unsafe as Jane and Kevin had thought of everything and were keen to make our stay both safe and happy.We were really comfortable in the Granary and I've not slept so well in ages. The bedding was lovely quality Egyptian cotton and the beds, pillows and duvets comfortable. We also loved the walk in shower which was lovely after a long walk or day at the beach! The highlight was the little sun trap patio for breakfast in the morning. The cottage was located on the outskirts of the village of Snainton, about 40 minutes from Whitby and 15 mins from Scarborough. There were plenty of places to eat nearby and we visited the Coachman in the village and the Fox and Rabbit in Lockton. Both pubs served great food at reasonable prices. We also had fish and chips from the Quayside on the harbour pier in Whitby which was great as always. We enjoyed walking in Dalby Forest, going to the beach at Scarborough and Whitby (The dog beach was much less crowded with good social distancing) and the boys enjoyed a few visits to Snainton golf club for a bucket of balls at the driving range. Local businesses are well prepared with track and trace and cleaning which made our holiday as relaxing as it could be in these strange times!We would not hesitate to recommend The Granary and Jane asnd Kevin as hosts. Thanks for a great holiday!read more

We've just come back from a 3 night stay in Stables cottage with our two young children. Its been a fantastic little... break, the cottage was gorgeous, spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. The cottage is well located to explore many of the surrounding areas. We visited Robins Hood Bay, Scarborough and Whitby- All only a short drive away. We also enjoyed two meals in the local pub (Coachman Inn), which we can highly recommend. Jane and Kevin were fabulous hosts and I even purchased a hat from Jane's hat shop next door " Get Ahead Hats"- We will definitely be back!read more

Just returned from a fabulous 4 night break for our 29th wedding anniversary, and the Granary Cottage was absolutely... perfect. Ideal for the dogs, clean and warm. Jane and Kevin were very hospitable and, although we didn’t need to, you always knew that nothing would have been too much trouble! Highly recommend these cottages for that quiet, restful and relaxing getaway, but close enough for all needs - walking, sea and moorlands.read more

The hosts have done a fantastic job converting these farm buildings into luxury accommodation with flair and attention to detail. They gave us the warmest of welcomes and were proud to show us around their adjacent home and fashion showroom.Jane and husband are happy to point you in the right direction for local sights, trails and places to eat. We’ll definitely recommend their cottages to family and friends and hope to return ourselves.Gerry Osipczak and sistersread more

Just nicely off the A170 from Snainton (follow the Get Ahead Hat signs) brings you to the two cottages. A warm welcome... awaits from your hosts Kevin & Jane and then duly directed to your cottage. Both are well appointed and have a very cosy feel to them. The bed and the linen are good quality resulting in a great nights sleep. We were in 'The Stables' and had the twin beds together to make a 'super king' which was great for us. The other room is a double with bath and separate shower, ours was shower over bath, again en suite (nice towels too). Looking out from the living rooms with wood burning stove or open fire in The Granary, onto a small patio then over to a paddock with sheep adds to the peaceful feel of the cottages. If you want bright lights and music you need to be in Scarborough. If you like peace and quiet, on the outskirts of a rural village with a starlit night sky to gaze upon, then this might be just what you are looking for. It did it for us on a cold winter weekend so I'm thinking it must be even better in the other seasons. We might even take bikes next time.....!read more

Just returned from our second visit to the Granary.....absolutely perfect! It’s the cosiest place to be on a cold... evening with the coal fire burning and the dog on the rug! We love it. A lovely welcome from Jane and Kevin, made even better by the bread and scrummy cake that was waiting for us on the kitchen table!! Jane let us take a peek in the other cottage, The Stables, what an amazing place! The bedroom with the free standing bath was stunning. A beautiful place to stay if you’re looking for somewhere special. Try it, you’ll go back again and again. Jill, Pete and Leonard the dog Gunson. Xread more

We stayed at Granary Cottage with our 3 young daughters, for one week over The Easter holidays and absolutely loved it.... The weather wasn’t great so we were having lazy mornings in the cottage which were made so enjoyable thanks to the comfort of the cottage. The beds were divine, the bath in our bedroom was such a treat and the open plan living downstairs was perfect for our family. When we arrived there was a tray with home-made cake, mini chocolate Easter eggs and milk etc. Such a nice and very much appreciated touch. The furnishings were really tasteful and the whole place was spotless. The only bad bit was when we had to leave!!! Don’t hesitate to book!read more

The perfect relaxing getaway! Just left the granary cottage after a long weekend. The cottage was spotless and... furnished to a really high standard with everything you could need for a self catering break. The grounds were beautiful and in a great location for exploring North Yorkshire Moors and the coast. The owners were fantastic, informative about the local area and went the extra mile to make us feel welcome with bread, milk and delicious cakes on arrival and lending our son their grandsons toys. Already planning when we can return with family and friends!!read more

Just back from our first visit to the Granary.. it won’t be our last! The cottage is the perfect bolt hole for... exploring the surrounding area -tucked away just enough to feel like you’re in the countryside but still close to villages, walks and pubs! JANE the owner was there to greet us on arrival and explain the basics (and offer some great recommendations for eating out etc). The cottage is fully equipped and super cosy- we went as the cold spell descended and although the radiators were more than sufficient to warm the rooms we couldn’t resist using the open fire and cosying up with a glass of wine. You may find cheaper accommodation - but you get what you pay for and at the Granary that was tasteful /luxury accommodation and a great location. Be back soon �read more

What a fabulous find! We have just returned from a last minute break in Granary cottage and from the warm welcome... afforded us by Jane on our arrival, the attention to detail and homely feel of the cottage, we immediately relaxed into our holiday - the fresh bread and cake was a very nice touch. Such a lovely part of the country, the cottages are close to some fabulous little villages, (Helmsley is a must visit!) easy driving distance to the coastal towns of Scarborough, Filey and a little farther north will find Whitby. The nearest village to the cottages offers some lovely pubs (the Downe Arms is very highly recommended by us) and we had THE best fish and chips from the village chippy that we have had in a long time. The cottage is well equipped and cosy with extremely comfortable beds! The towels provided were plentiful and smelt divine (please let me know which wash powder and fabric conditioner you use lol). If you are thinking of visiting these beautiful cottages then we have no hesitation in offering our recommendation - you won't be disappointed xread more

We've recently returned from a weeks stay at the Granary Cottage and can highly recommend it. As dog owners, it is very... welcome to find a pet friendly property that is so beautifully furnished. The weather was not very kind and the dark nights meant that we couldn't make the most of the patio area which is a pity as the views are lovely. What we did get to enjoy was the peace and quiet and settling down in front of a roaring fire after a day out exploring the Yorkshire coast. Many thanks, we hope to return one day - Karl, Jan, Josh......and Vinnie 🙂read more

We have just returned from a weeks fabulous holiday in the beautiful Granary Cottage - the cottage is truly lovely and... the standard of furnishings and décor excellent. Flossie, our Sprocker, was in her element as the coast and North Yorkshire Moors are on its door step. Filey Beach is definitely a must for dog walkers. The cottage is so peaceful .... just the sound of a small flock of Ryedale sheep (who were lambing whilst we were there). Some great local hostelries - The Coachman and The Anvil - both of whom welcomed our dog. Thank you Jane and Kevin - we will be back!read more
