MIKE AND LIZ MASTERS AND BELLA MAR 2022

Thank you for a fabulous stay. Willow was a fabulous place to relax and recharge. We enjoyed trips to Scarborough and Whitby, and walks to Falling Foss waterfall, and the circular route from Robin Hoods Bay to Boggle Hole. The hot tub was a great bonus at the end of the day. P.S. Thank you for the welcome pack.

RICHARD, KIRSTY AND MAISIE THE COLLIE JAN 2022

Thank you for a wonderful stay. The weather was not on our side, but we really enjoyed using the hot tub and some more local walks. We really recommend Cayton Bay Beach if you have a dog, the pub close by called The Farrier is fantastic and dog friendly. The Brytherstones pub in Cloughton is also an absolute gem and the steak pie is the best we have ever had. Thank you we will be back.

CHARLOTTE AND MAX SMITH AND COOPER DEC 2021

This is our third trip to Thirley Cotes and our second stay in Willow Cottage. Great experience as usual, weather was great - it snowed!! We had Alpamere water park to ourselves and hunted the Gruffalo in Dalby Forest first. Recommend "Quayside" for fish and chips in Whitby... but ger there early as winter opening times means it shuts earlier! Three Jolly Sailors in Burniston is a very nice pub! Nice ale and good food.

A wonderful week and very relaxing. Everything you need is within the cottage.

If you're looking for gluten free fish and chips we highly recommend Capplemans in Scarborough.

We had a wonderful holiday and loved the cottage and hot tub. Weather could have been better but the wonderfully helpful staff helped with lots of things to do indoors and we have booked two holidays here for next year.

BETTY AND DAVID GASKIN

Delightful stay in a well-appointed cottage. Loved the woodland setting and time spent recuperating in the hot tub surrounded by the beautiful countryside and coast. We recommend Bempton cliffs and Flamborough head to walkers and bird watchers.

MS SARA JENNETT

This is definitely 5 star accommodation and was ideal for 3 kids, 5 adults and 2 dogs. We have stayed in both Willow and Oak Cottage and they are perfectly situated for visiting the coast. Sandsend beach is a must for dog owners and Daisy Tea rooms is brilliant for afternoon tea.

THOMPSONS, BENNETTS AND CO.

A spacious and well-equipped cottage in a peaceful location. Scarborough, Whitby and Pickering are lovely places to visit and the electric car charging points are very handy! Friendly and helpful staff were on hand for the excellent horse riding recommendations.

Thank you for a brilliant holiday! We were welcomed by kind and helpful staff and arrived to the best (and biggest) welcome hamper I have ever seen!

Thank you for a lovely week. The cottage was just perfect and all our needs were catered for (including a generous welcome hamper).

We all enjoyed the hot tub and the grand kids really loved the park and play room.
Fantastic cottage with amazing wildlife to watch. This is our second visit and we are looking forward to our next visit.

THE MITCHELL FAMILY

Well equipped cottage that met the needs of my elderly mother thanks to night lights in the corridor and it being a one level property. Enjoyed cooking in the kitchen and the hot tub.

Really pleased with the cottage. It offered everything we needed (including a beautiful Christmas tree) and was perfectly located to visit the surrounding area. Would definitely recommend any time of year and look forward to coming back.

THE HEWLETT FAMILY & ALFIE THE DOG

Beautiful cottage. We loved how cosy it is here thanks to the under-floor heating and the location is great for access to most places on the North Yorkshire coast. Will be back again soon.

GLESNI AND GARY

We have not visited the North Yorks area for many years and found our stay most enjoyable. The cottage is in a great area and we found it to be very comfortable and clean. A very stylish conversion of a lovely barn. We would love to return and if we did we would definitely stay here again.

GAVIN AND ELLIE DEANS

Our first visit was hugely enjoyable and the perfect setting for a few days away. Just right for the four of us.
