Amazing Tranquil piece of Yorkshire - everything you need yet near everywhere you want to visit.

Feel like I don't want to share this little gem of a place! Beautiful cottage with everything you would want. Didn't get chance to use the lovely wood burning stove as weather just lovely too! You feel like you have escaped from the hustle and bustle of life in this amazing little place - peaceful, amazing views, sunsets, cows, and sheep. Kids could roam free outside whilst we enjoyed a glass or two enjoying the view. Jackie and John were so friendly and helpful including providing an unexpected tractor ride. We will return ...

Yorkshire im Naturschutzgebiet Northmoor. Wohnen in der Natur, nicht weit von der Hafenstadt Whitby. Nahe der historischen Bahnhöfe und Lokomotiven gibt es viel zu sehen und zu erleben.Jackie ist jederzeit erreichbar und eine gute Gastgeberin. Wer Tiere (Kühe/Schafe/Hühner) mag, hier leben sie friedlich nebeneinander. Ein Ort um Abzuschalten, zu Wandern und als Basisort zur Erkundung der Umgebung rund um das Northmoor. York ist nur eine Autostunde entfernt. Wer eine Zeit lang ohne umfangreiches W-Lan auskommt, wird sich hier wohlfühlen. Satelliten TV und ein DVD Player sorgen am Abend für eine gelungene Abwechslung. Aussergewöhnlich : sollte es mal etwas kältere Temperaturen geben : das Cottages verfügt über eine Fussbodenheizung.Fazit : Ein Urlaub dessen viele verschiedenen Eindrücke unvergessen bleiben wird.

Had a little trouble finding it but that was due to our Canadian phone not picking up data. Property was very well maintained and equipped. Even a jug of milk in the fridge. Cleanliness excellent. Could not criticize a single thing. Hostess did an excellent job. Made us feel very welcome. Would definitely book there again.

Curlew cottage - Greenland Farm in Goathland

we had a lovely and quiet stay in the most beautiful setting in Goathland. We surely could recommend the Greenland farm cottages if you like walks and if you want to relax and retreat from your busy life

Quiet, peaceful, in glorious surroundings, exceptionally clean cottage, and lovely hosts who are just next door if needed. Staying on a farm, so expect cows and sheep, though not by cottage. Perfect for exploring the coast, or walking the moors.

A jewel up on the glorious North Yorkshire Moors.

Jackie did a great job of keeping us updated with booking, location and arrival details, really appreciated in this strangest of times. The cleaning regime faultless, the cottage amazing. On the farm but away from everything if you prefer. Given great space to run the puppy - can't tell you how much he enjoyed it!! Beautifully located, the views over the moors.....spectacular. Local villages minutes away. North Yorkshire Moors Railway providing the perfect get away for a day. We'll be back 😃

Wonderful short break

An excellent property, situated in a wonderful part of England on a working farm. Spectacular views, incredible dark skies and a very comfortable, clean and homely property to stay in. Our hosts Jacqui and John were very welcoming and throughout the booking process, interrupted by the national lockdown, were extremely helpful in helping us rearrange our dates. Highly recommend this property

Lovely cosy cottage

We stayed for a few nights over the bank holiday weekend and had a lovely, relaxing break. The cottage was spotlessly clean and was very well equipped. We also had our cockapoo with us who really enjoyed chasing his ball on the front grass. We came well prepared with food (and wine) as there aren't any large shops close by, and we weren't intending to eat out (what with covid restrictions and having a dog). The cottage is very close to Whitby, moorland villages, and also Runswick Bay which is a beautiful, dog friendly beach (and we got lucky with the weather!). Jackie and John are great hosts and we would recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful break.

Great accommodation in a wonderful location

We (two adults and one dog) had a lovely few days in the heart of the North Yorkshire Moors. The cottage was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Our hosts John and Jacky could not have been more helpful and even the weather was kind to us. If you like the great outdoors and life on the farm then this is the perfect spot for you.

Erstklassige Location in wunderschöner Umgebung

Sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt, inmitten einer wunderschönen Landschaft. Es war sehr angenehm ruhig und wir haben uns sehr gut erholt. Wir hatten nette und anregende Gespräche mit den Vermietern zu z.B. Ausflügen/Spazierwegen. Das Cottage war sauber und zweckmäßig eingerichtet. Es war sehr angenehm abends den Kamin anzumachen. Auch für unseren Hund war die Location ein Traum. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Darren und Heike

Bliss!

What a location for this beautifully presented property! From the warm welcome from John and Jackie to the wonderful scenery we hit on a good one here. The cottage was roomy (watch your head on the sloping ceilings upstairs!) and had all the facilities and equipment you could want and was spotlessly clean. The freeview TV was a bit bizarre mind you so you might want to take some DVDs in case the weather is poor. Jackie has a good selection that you can borrow. We loved our stay here. The peace and tranquillity of the setting was just what we needed but at the same time it was a great base to explore. There are lots of walking opportunities and plenty of sights to see just a relatively short drive away., We will certainly be back.

Tucked away this property has everything you need, inside and stunning views outside. Jackie and John made us so welcome. They were on hand for any questions but respected your privacy.

Lovely Break, Great Cottage, Welcoming Owners.

Thanks to John and Jackie for the lovely warm welcome to their property. Myself and the Boys (5&7) had a great time , and my wife when she joined us too. We loved the locality, the cottage was warm, beautifully presented and so comfy. Everything we needed was provided including the welcome milk and wine (very much needed in half term) We will be back im sure. Thanks again, Justin

Comfortable and very quiet

Our holiday here was very enjoyable. The accommodation was very comfortable and despite being on a working farm was also very quiet. Well equipped kitchen, spacious open plan living area along with decent sized bedrooms. The shower room appeared shoehorned in but in reality was fine. Comfy beds and sofas, and a wood burner available for the cooler evenings. The farm is over 200 metres altitude and great views available across the countryside. There was much to do in the area, without having to travel miles. Walks, cycling, moorland, coastline, steam trains, fish & chips. Great stuff. There were no issues while we stayed here, however if there had been I have no doubt the friendly owners would have done their utmost to help. We would book here again and recommend it to others.

Beautiful location and comfortable accommodation

Although the weather wasn't great it didn't stop us enjoying our stay at Greenlands. Ideally located on the moorland for walkers, although quite isolated, it was only a five minute drive to the village and fifteen minutes to Whitby. It was a pleasure to take a drive out to sightsee other beautiful hamlets and villages in the surrounding areas. Our cottage was pleasingly well equipped, spacious and clean. Modern natural decor complimented the barn conversion with its cosy wood fire. The open plan, spacious lounge area and well equipped kitchen area was a plus as plenty room for the children to play. The two upstairs bedrooms, one a double and the other a twin room were also spacious with storage etc on the landing area. Shower room although quite compact was adequate and provided ample plush towels, shower gel etc. To the front of the cottage was a small play area which our two young grandchildren throughly enjoyed. John and Jackie were very welcoming and on hand, should we have need them. The cottage is a credit to them. Would not hesitate to recommend and would visit again in future.

Wonderful location and welcoming owners.

We had a long weekend at the cottage which started with a warm welcome from Jackie. Nothing was to much trouble and only a knock at their door or a phonecall away. The cottage was very clean and the kitchen was well equipped. We enjoyed a very relaxing few days, especially in front of the log burner. If you're looking for a peaceful break then this could be the place for you. The only thing I would mention is that due to the nature of the building. The roof space, especially in the bathroom is quite low, not a problem for ourselves only been being short but taller guests may struggle. I personally wouldn't let this put you off. Overall I would recommend this cottage. Look forward to going back in the future. One very happy guest.
