We loved it here and will definitely return. It was easy to find and in a great location between Whitby and Sandsend. Our grandson loved the alpacas and Pauline let him feed them and collect eggs. What a wonderful experience for him. The cottage was great, very cosy with everything you need. Parking is easy and safe and there is a lovely garden. People have commented on WiFi but we didn’t have an issue. It dropped in and out but was fine for what we needed. There is enough to do to not need screen time all day and night. Our grandson didn’t want to leave - and neither did we! I can’t wait to book another visit.

Lovely, clean, comfortable and cosy cottage. Love the extra touches like milk and fresh eggs. We didn't get time to visit the alpacas and chickens but will do that next time. Can't wait to return.

About the host

Hosted by Pauline Cameron

Host profile image
We retired in 2007 and moved to Whitby from Kent. The cottage included a field so we bought 5 alpacas to eat the grass. Alpacas appear to be addictive creatures and we got carried away and now have 20 alpacas and have had to rent more land down the road. We use the fleece to make yarn both handspun and machine spun which is available for sale.
We enjoyed meeting all the guests in Grain Cottage so when it went on sale we decide to buy it and continue to let it as a holiday cottage. After refurbishment we opened for business in July 2016.

Why they chose this property

We live in WheelHouse Cottage which is next door to Grain so when it came up for sale we bought it and continued letting it to holidaymakers.
