Simple accommodation in glorious setting
We stayed for four nights while visiting family near by. The cottage was large enough to allow our young granddaughters to sleep over. The owners were very pleasant and helpful.

Location Location Location!
Back for a second visit, stayed for a week and wished for longer. The cycling is fabulous in all directions (on and off-road), lovely pubs in easy walking distance, and the coast a short car or train trip away. Rachel and Rory couldn't be any nicer or more helpful. Just a glorious, peaceful place

An outstanding property, in an idyllic and beautiful location in rural North Yorkshire
Simple put - there was nothing we didn't like about our stay. From the booking process right up until the day we left, the property and its owner Rachel far surpassed all of our expectations. The property was immaculately presented, spotlessly clean and well stocked with everything you could possibly need for a short or long stay. The views are simply outstanding, and the property itself is cosy, warm and beautifully laid out. Rachel was amazing throughout and we can't wait to come back.

It really only takes one word,BRILLIANT.
The hosts were warm & friendly and always on hand with help and information if needed. Our accommodation was spotlessly clean and fully equipped with anything we might need. Nestled among rolling green fields it’s very easy to just relax and enjoy the peace and tranquillity it offers.
The location was not too far for us to explore popular places such as Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay and the beautiful Mount Grace Priory as well as just enjoying a ramble across the heather covered moors.

Wonderful cottage in spectacular location
We have stayed at Church House Farm at least two times before. We love the beautiful countryside location and close proximity to Grandma's house. The hosts are friendly and keep the units in perfect condition. Washing machine and clothesline are essentials on a long trip.

Lovely and comfortable accommodation in a beautiful area of the country
A lovely property which is maintained to an incredibly high standard.
Comfortable beds, comfortable sofas, and a well stocked kitchen (of kitchen tools).
Outside there is a quiet place to admire the views and relax.
Rory and Rachel are really friendly and very helpful.
This was not our first visit, and we are already booked to return.

I loved my stay
The property is spotless, comfortable, practical, and relaxing.
Rachel is a warm and friendly host who is proactive in ensuring your stay goes well. Rory was on hand to save the day when I had a minor personal emergency. Excellent hosts, highly recommended.
As for the views, the sights and sounds of nature and Yorkshire at its best, just perfect. And a really good location for exploring the moors, the villages, the countryside and Whitby a 20 min drive (off peak).
