Lovely cottage in a beautiful location

Very well equipped cottage in a well positioned location. There were 6 of us staying and had plenty of space for us although we were lucky to have great weather so we could use the garden as well. We had a few wi-fi issues in the evenings but

Nice comfortable cottage with enough space for a family. Wonderful quiet area but still close to all amenities. Beach very close, the whole countryside is just beautiful. If we went to Yorkshire on holiday again, we would definitely come back here.

Wonderful accommodation!

As I was ill for practically the entire holiday, we manged to utilise everything within the accommodation much more than we had planned. It's a fabulous place, with just enough of everything. The location suited us perfectly as it was away from the hub bub of whitby.

Thanks Pauline!

I booked the wrong week like a moron. Pauline was still able to accommodate even though I didn’t notice until about noon the day we arrived. It’s a very well done barn conversion. It was great having an enclosed yard for the dog. You can’t beat the price and we even got to feed the alpacas.

Escaoe to the country

Myself, my wife, daughter and granddaughter (age 9) stayed at Grain Cottage. Thus was our second stay. The property was as listed. Bob and Pauline were terrific hosts. My granddaughter enjoyed helping out with the alpacas, chickens and throwing frisby for the dog, Peggy. The cottage is in a great location within walking distance to the beach, provided you don't mind hills on the way back. There is a lovely garden centre/tea room in Newholm village, about 10 minutes walk from the cottage. The cakes were fabulous. We played cricket and trampoline tennis in the garden. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can't wait to go back in Easter.

Such a tranquil spot on a quiet lane, which was a welcome retreat to return to after the hustle and bustle of Whitby. Lovely comfortable house and gardens, delightful hosts, and alpaca feeding an added bonus! Many thanks Pauline and Bob
