The cottage is a wonderful place to stay. Perfect for two people and the hot tub is ideal after a day exploring. Sue was really friendly and helpful and Poppy was so welcoming. There is parking in front of the cottage and everything you need for a lovely break. We would happily return again, fantastic.

On arrival, Sue greeted us, showed us around, fresh milk in fridge, tea, coffee, sugar. The best information folder I have seen, nothing left out. The cottage was lovely, amazing hot tub, use of our own patio, secured for our dogs use of part of her beautiful garden. Situation was amazing to explore our favourite North Yorkshire, Scarborough to Whitby, Sands End, the moors. Cannot rate highly enough. Fab stay!

Anniversary stay with dogs

Stayed a couple of nights as a base to go to the coast with our 2 dachshunds, location was very quiet and perfect for relaxing, property was secure for our pets, a couple of miles in either direction was a village with pubs, shops etc. Coast was only 20 mins drive. Overall a very pleasant stay...

We had a lovely stay at this cute cottage cozy enough for 2. It was in a picturesque area and nice and quiet. The hot tub was a lovely touch after a stressful year to relax under the stars. The cottage was well equipped, very clean and Netflix was a great bonus. We spent New Year in the Ye Olde Forge Valley pub which had good food and lovely hosts and was a short taxi ride away with a local taxi company but book ahead as he does get very busy. Sue was lovely and friendly and happy to help with any questions we had and gave us info on places of interest. We will definitely be back

A little GEM

Well this was a great find, the cottage is of an extremely high standard with all mod cons, bright and nicely decorated, and ideal for a couple & dogs. Set in the sleepy, tranquil village of Ruston , great for the moors and the coast. Sue and Neil are wonderful hosts with great knowledge of the area and nothing is too much trouble for them.

Scarborough/Whitby visit with the pooch.

Great location as a base to explore the area. Sue is a wonderful host and will help make your stay an enjoyable one. The property was lovely and maintained to a high standard and the welcome basket was a lovely touch. Like many of her previous guests we will be contacting Sue when we are again visiting the region. Thank you Sue and a big โ€œwoofโ€ to Poppy!
