Curlew cottage - Greenland Farm in Goathland

Had a little trouble finding it but that was due to our Canadian phone not picking up data. Property was very well maintained and equipped. Even a jug of milk in the fridge. Cleanliness excellent. Could not criticize a single thing. Hostess did an excellent job. Made us feel very welcome. Would definitely book there again.

Absolute Gem!

This cottage really is a home from home that we would highly recommend. You want for nothing - the cottage is so well equipped. It was clean, warm, cosy and we will definitely be returning. Jackie and John were excellent hosts and happy to help in any way they could. It was an absolute joy to be able to go walking to Goathland or Grosmont from the door. No need for the car until we wanted to venture into Whitby. Excellent location, excellent facilities. A real gem away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Thankyou Jackie and John for making our stay so comfortable. See you again!

We're so pleased that our guests have enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the environment which we ourselves cherish so much. We realise that we are so off the beaten track but yet so close to the beautiful East coast and historic town of Whitby. We are happy that our guests find the cottages warm and comfortable after a days walking or sight seeing.

Bliss!

What a location for this beautifully presented property! From the warm welcome from John and Jackie to the wonderful scenery we hit on a good one here. The cottage was roomy (watch your head on the sloping ceilings upstairs!) and had all the facilities and equipment you could want and was spotlessly clean. The freeview TV was a bit bizarre mind you so you might want to take some DVDs in case the weather is poor. Jackie has a good selection that you can borrow. We loved our stay here. The peace and tranquillity of the setting was just what we needed but at the same time it was a great base to explore. There are lots of walking opportunities and plenty of sights to see just a relatively short drive away., We will certainly be back.

Fantastic location, beautiful cottage!

Just returned from a fantastic week in this cottage. Beautiful peaceful location with wonderful wildlife on your doorstep! Our children loved waking up and watching the cows in the field. Ourselves, children and dogs were made very welcome by John and Jackie - perfect hosts! Great central location with Goathland, Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay only a short drive away. The cottage itself was spotless when we arrived, it was very well equipped with everything we needed. My daughter loved the toys provided and didn't touch ours! Very comfy beds much appreciated after all the lovely long walks. Dogs loved the under floor heating :) Even a lovely bottle of wine chilling in the fridge on our arrival that was a lovely touch and much appreciated! Could not fault it, hope to return. Lisa and Paul Cambridgeshire.

Paul & Lisa Thank you for choosing to stay at Greenlands Farm. It is always a pleasure to meet such a wonderful family. I would also like to thank you for your positive feedback and for leaving the cottage as you found it, clean and tidy with no evidence of our four legged friends. It was a huge help and much appreciated. If you would like a return visit then please don't hesitate to get in touch. Sending the very best of wishes. Jackie & John

Yorkshire im Naturschutzgebiet Northmoor. Wohnen in der Natur, nicht weit von der Hafenstadt Whitby. Nahe der historischen Bahnhöfe und Lokomotiven gibt es viel zu sehen und zu erleben.Jackie ist jederzeit erreichbar und eine gute Gastgeberin. Wer Tiere (Kühe/Schafe/Hühner) mag, hier leben sie friedlich nebeneinander. Ein Ort um Abzuschalten, zu Wandern und als Basisort zur Erkundung der Umgebung rund um das Northmoor. York ist nur eine Autostunde entfernt. Wer eine Zeit lang ohne umfangreiches W-Lan auskommt, wird sich hier wohlfühlen. Satelliten TV und ein DVD Player sorgen am Abend für eine gelungene Abwechslung. Aussergewöhnlich : sollte es mal etwas kältere Temperaturen geben : das Cottages verfügt über eine Fussbodenheizung.Fazit : Ein Urlaub dessen viele verschiedenen Eindrücke unvergessen bleiben wird.

excellant

Quiet, peaceful, in glorious surroundings, exceptionally clean cottage, and lovely hosts who are just next door if needed. Staying on a farm, so expect cows and sheep, though not by cottage. Perfect for exploring the coast, or walking the moors.

The scenery is breathtaking. Perfect for the family for walking and exploring. Jackie and John are welcoming to their guests. Very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. If by any chance we visit North Yorkshire again, we will definitely book on the same cottage, Very clean, well-equipped, peaceful, and comfortable cottage. Highly recommended!

A jewel up on the glorious North Yorkshire Moors.

Jackie did a great job of keeping us updated with booking, location and arrival details, really appreciated in this strangest of times. The cleaning regime faultless, the cottage amazing. On the farm but away from everything if you prefer. Given great space to run the puppy - can't tell you how much he enjoyed it!! Beautifully located, the views over the moors.....spectacular. Local villages minutes away. North Yorkshire Moors Railway providing the perfect get away for a day. We'll be back 😃

Wonderful short break

An excellent property, situated in a wonderful part of England on a working farm. Spectacular views, incredible dark skies and a very comfortable, clean and homely property to stay in. Our hosts Jacqui and John were very welcoming and throughout the booking process, interrupted by the national lockdown, were extremely helpful in helping us rearrange our dates. Highly recommend this property

Lovely cosy cottage

We stayed for a few nights over the bank holiday weekend and had a lovely, relaxing break. The cottage was spotlessly clean and was very well equipped. We also had our cockapoo with us who really enjoyed chasing his ball on the front grass. We came well prepared with food (and wine) as there aren't any large shops close by, and we weren't intending to eat out (what with covid restrictions and having a dog). The cottage is very close to Whitby, moorland villages, and also Runswick Bay which is a beautiful, dog friendly beach (and we got lucky with the weather!). Jackie and John are great hosts and we would recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful break.

Great accommodation in a wonderful location

We (two adults and one dog) had a lovely few days in the heart of the North Yorkshire Moors. The cottage was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Our hosts John and Jacky could not have been more helpful and even the weather was kind to us. If you like the great outdoors and life on the farm then this is the perfect spot for you.

Erstklassige Location in wunderschöner Umgebung

Sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt, inmitten einer wunderschönen Landschaft. Es war sehr angenehm ruhig und wir haben uns sehr gut erholt. Wir hatten nette und anregende Gespräche mit den Vermietern zu z.B. Ausflügen/Spazierwegen. Das Cottage war sauber und zweckmäßig eingerichtet. Es war sehr angenehm abends den Kamin anzumachen. Auch für unseren Hund war die Location ein Traum. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Darren und Heike
