There is absolutely nothing to criticise with this property - only praise. The decoration is tasteful, the additions such as wine, coffee and bath bombs are thoughtful, the owners were lovely and the setting is breathtaking. It is the perfect couples' getaway.

Beutiful Cosy Cottage

The property is located in a beautiful valley with far reaching views of the picturesque Yorkshire Moors, the cottage is well equipped with everything you could need and very comfortable and cosy! Mark & Moya were very welcoming hosts and the thoughtful touches on arrival certainly added to the overall experience. Thank you both for a wonderful stay!

Quiet, clean and welcoming

This property is just right for romantic couples of any age looking for a quiet space to 'catch their breath' away from busy lives. It is clean and well equipped and the hosts are warm and welcoming without being intrusive. Lovely views, accessible footpaths and 'big skies' complete the picture.

Away from it all

This is a wonderful little hideaway in the picturesque Yorkshire Moors. We enjoyed a couple of nights away for our 25th Wedding Anniversary and Moya and Mark could not have been more helpful. Car definitely needed but in easy reach of Whitby / Pickering and lots of choice for pub grub. The cottage had everything we needed.

Beautiful property with a spectacular view

Hosts delightful and so helpful and cottage immaculately clean. Thoughtful touches like fresh flowers, milk and wine! The cottage has beautiful views. It’s very private and super quiet. We stayed for one weekend and liked it so much we booked for the next weekend too. We are very happy to have found this place and will return again.

Relax and unwind in a beautiful setting

This super cottage, perfect for a couple is one of the nicest we have stayed in, you won't be disappointed, from the lovely welcome, the wine, biscuits and bath bombs, all the special little touches made our stay perfect in this immaculate cottage. We enjoyed walking from the front door but the station isn't far to go further afield if you don't want to drive. Yes, we would certainly recommend and hope to return one day.

Fabulous holiday !

Our second stay at this beautiful cottage in the most stunning location. Cottage so cosy and comfortable with everything you could need and very friendly helpful owners. The location is perfect for nature lovers we saw deer on our way out one day - watched rabbits and lambs from the garden, amazing bird life, a nature lovers heaven ! Ideally situated for all of NYM and Whitby and driving distance for a day out in York. Thank you Mark and Moya for another lovely stay - we will most definitely return !

Peaceful and relaxing location

We had a fabulous time. The views of the surrounding area were so beautiful. The fields were dotted with cows, sheep, rabbits and even an owl came to visit! We went to the Egton agricultural show, and many other places on the coast and in the dales. The accommodation was cosy with all the kitchen equipment you needed. The bed was very comfortable too. Our hosts were very attentive and friendly. Would certainly return and recommend it to anyone who wants to chill or be more active.

Wonderful holiday

We had a lovely holiday at the Postgate Nook. It is a cozy house, tastefully decorated. The kitchen is complete. The wood stove provided warmth and extra atmosphere on cool days, although the temperature inside was always pleasant. The terrace offered a beautiful view of the valley and beautiful garden. Mark and Moya are very friendly and helpful. Nice people. Are always available. They make every effort to make your stay more pleasant and also respect your privacy. The great location in a beautiful region and the contact with Mark and Moya gave us a wonderful holiday.

Wonderful retreat

We had a lovely time at Mark and Moya’s property. As hosts they were friendly, helpful and we really appreciated the welcoming touches as well as the insider knowledge of what to do in the local area. We made the most of the tips we were given and spent a very enjoyable and relaxing few days in the middle of rolling countryside and an idyllic setting. The cottage itself was as described. It was cute, well maintained, cozy and comfortable, stocked with everything you need for a few days away. We have wood burning stoves at home and it was a great addition to the cottage; keeping it warm and welcoming throughout our stay. The bed was comfortable and as mentioned above, the setting was wonderful. We would thoroughly recommend staying here if you are a couple wishing to experience all the area has to offer and it has the added bonus of being owned by two wonderful hosts!

Total peacefulness and Tranquillity

We arrived late from a very long journey from south east England so we're tired and hungry on our arrival ,Moya and her husband Mark gave us a warm welcome and we're so extremely kind making us a food parcel to make a meal out of to save us venturing out after 8pm when not many shops open or around in the village. The property was exactly how was described and for anyone wanting quiet countryside with rolling hills as a view ,you won't be disappointed. The beauty is you are completely remote away from the hustle and bustle but only a 25 minute journey away from Whitby and other more busier towns and places to visit .The owners left us to our own devices which was appriciated but also were there if anything needed or any problems arose . Recommended, kind regards Alison & Tom

A Great Weekend - Above & Beyond Expectations

The property looks really nice online but in person it's even better. It's old fashion and cosy but also meshes with a modern feel - we had access to everything you could want (including a really strong Wi-Fi connection). The hosts greeted us and went over everything we needed to know - they had a great knowledge of the surrounding area and pointed us to some great local spots including a lesser-known waterfall which blew us away when we saw it. They were also on hand whenever we needed. What really set them apart was the numerous small touches from candles, board games, DVDs, a comprehensive information book with all flyers they had collected and other things. The log fire was an excellent addition and really sets a great atmosphere on colder nights. There was ample firewood on hand to see us through our time there. Overall, we loved our stay and will definitely be looking to return. For anyone looking for a perfect little getaway...this is the place!

Absolutely wonderful.

Lovely little cottage, ideal for two. Stunning scenery from the main living area. Everything exceptionally clean and tidy. Kitchen/dining area well equipped with just about everything you need. Upstairs, the large double bed is extremely comfortable, with the bath shower unit in the room. The toilet and wash basin are in a separate little room off to the side, and all towels and linen supplied. One small criticism, which could be easily rectified, is the lack of 'vanity' space. A couple of corner shelves by the wash basin for soap, tooth brushes deodorant, etc. A shelf under the bedroom mirror for make up and one behind the bath would make this delightful cottage perfect. Mark and Moya made us feel most welcome, and I would recommend their cottage to any couple. Many thanks, John and Christine.

Perfect Stay

This little cottage is a perfect hideaway for peace and quiet. Set along many a narrow road, expect an exciting ride to get to it, especially if you arrive in the dark, but once you are there you won’t regret it! Mark and Moya were the perfect hosts - great communication before our trip and were there to greet us upon arrival but at the same time, they left us alone unless we needed them. During our stay we were toasty warm there was an unlimited and ample supply of wood in the cottage we only needed to ask if we ran out ( we didn’t and we had the burner on every night!) there is also central heating if you’re not into making fires. The location of the cottage is perfect for a 30 or so minute trip to the coastal resorts (Robin Hoods Bay is beautiful) and about the same to Pickering or Helmsley. There are plenty of supermarkets in these places too, I wouldn’t rely on the village shop, but it was useful when we needed a thing or two. The cottage is in a beautiful setting and very well equipped with the promise that if you need anything else, you just have to ask. I honestly couldn’t think of anything else I needed. My advice would be do a good shop before you get there as once in, you won’t want to go anywhere! The owners provide you with a small quantity of tea and coffee to get you started, but I’d say make sure you pack extra! Top tip: start filling the bath in plenty of time…who’s in a rush anyway when you’re on holiday? It’s just worth mentioning. Thanks so much Moya and Mark for our week with you - we will be back!
