I absolutely loved this place. I think Tom and Nina must have lived in it before letting it out, because there were many thoughtful touches that wouldn't necessarily occur to owners just setting up a rental property de novo. I'm only sorry not to have met them, because I was left with the feeling that they must be very warm and welcoming people. My only (very minor) plaint was that the back garden looks a bit neglected.

Cozy country cottage

This house is a perfect getaway, supplied with everything you would need for a short or long stay, including comfortable beds! The home makes a perfect base to explore surrounding attractions such as York, Pickering and Dalby Forest. However it's also within walking distance to many shops and restaurants and has a beautiful garden for dining and relaxing. Highly recommend!

Lovely cottage

We stayed for a short 7 day break in September , the cottage is in a pretty village with some pleasant walks and local shops to browse , it bustles but is generally unspoilt by tourism , Whitby, York and the Moors are within easy reach of whatever your preference is , history or walking /cycling and so on The cottage is well equipped , alot of thought has gone into making it comfortable without over cluttering it , chromecast TV and wifi are available for the evenings, a nice touch , I cook alot and the kitchen is easy for this without without the cupboards and drawers being stuffed with pots and pans/cutlery , you can find what you need without causing an avalanche or digging around in an overstuffed cutlery draw full of mismatched scrap metal ! its a thing for me Nina is a pleasure to deal with, informative to just the right amount , no fuss or petty rules , just lets you relax and get on with enjoying a well deserved break Overall we loved the place and will definitely book it again in future

Well equipped little cottage

We loved our stay at Stone Cottage. The owners had thought of pretty much everything you would need to make our stay with a young family comfortable and easy. There was steps and seats in the toilet for young children, plastic crockery and cutlery, washing facilities for all those clothes and Netflix all set up to keep them entertained. Was so easy to make it our home from home for two weeks. The cottage is surprisingly roomy, especially the bedrooms - however, be aware that it's a beautiful but old property and the ceilings are very low (didn't bother us we're short). It's placed just on the outskirts of Thorton Le Dale and a short walk from a lively little village, with lots going on and places to eat. It was a great place to base our holiday, we were only about 30 minutes - 1 hours from most places of interest, like York, the North Yorkshire Stream train, Whitby Bay, Dalby Forest and lots of lovely beaches and bikes rides/walks. Would come again if we wanted to holiday in the area again. Well recommended!

The perfect getaway

Wow, what a fabulous little cottage. We (2 adults and our son aged 9) had a fantastic adventurous 3 days. Firstly the cottage is lovely - modern, clean and perfectly cosy. We took our bikes and cycled to nearby Dalby Forest - definitely recommend going through the fields rather than the road, which we did on the first day up a very very steep hill. We also enjoyed a morning in the trees at Go Ape, again thoroughly recommend if you’re ok with heights. We ate out in Thornton le Dale on a couple of nights and enjoyed our return back to the cottage in front of the fire. On the way home we stopped at Sutton Bank and enjoyed more cycling. All in all a fabulous getaway, in a lovely cottage in a beautiful setting. We’ll certainly be back for more adventure 😊

Really lovely but watch out if you're tall

We stayed as 2 adults, a 3 year-old and a 5 year-old for 2 weeks. Clean and smart. Comfy beds. Plenty of storage. Well equipped - cookware, washing line and big freezer were handy. Lovely village. Decent size secure garden. Welcoming flowers, pro secco and biscuits on arrival. We were always able to park on the street outside within a few houses away. Check in and out were with a key safe so we didn't meet owners but they were helpful on email. Wifi worked fine. Beware of low ceilings downstairs: my husband is 6'1", he just about fitted under the ceilings but couldn't tip his head back to drink without banging it on beams, he had to duck under the doorways.
