Lovely property and location

Lovely large property with plenty of space for all 12 of us that were staying, the house had everything you could need and communication with the owner was without fault. The location of the property was brilliant with lots of lovely walks and beaches on your doorstep. A few doors down from the house is the village pub where the food is amazing and we would highly recommend. We had a lovely stay and would definitely return.

Family Getaway

The property was amazing! Spacious and there is room for everyone to spread out. Very clean, well equiped and comfortable beds. For us personally, meeting our grown up kids and grandkids at the property at 4pm check in was a little bit late for us. We were all meeting up from different locations to the cottage to spend quality time together before Shaun and I head back to Perth, Australia. However, we all loved our stay and weekend baiting Whitby and Robin Hood Bay. The pub 300 yards away, Fox and the Hound was lovely too. Good quality food and spoilt for choice.

A perfect family holiday!

Our party of ten and two 2yr olds stayed here last week. The house was beautiful, spacious and very well equipped. There was a lovely sunny playroom with plenty of toys which opened on to a nice garden. All the bedrooms were comfortable and the whole house was beautifully clean and well looked after. The owner met us to give us the keys and was very friendly and helpful. Before we went I was emailing the owner asking questions and I always got a fast and informative reply. Location wise, the local pub was about 2 mins walk away and was really good with friendly staff and lovely food. Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay are just a couple of miles away and easy to get to. I cannot recommend this place highly enough!!

Excellent property which matched the description and made for a most enjoyable birthday weekend.

Grange Farm Cottage was a great venue for a family weekend meeting the needs of 4 generations from 4 to 88! Very spacious with lots of separate seating areas including a sun trap conservatory, garden and BBQ area. It was nice to have the children catered for with a supply of games etc and outside play space as well. Well located just outside Whitby with a large supermarket a short drive away and Robin Hoods Bay also just down the road. There is also a range of footpaths providing access to these resorts. The local pub is 2 minutes walk. An excellent choice of accommodation and location.

Wonderful Whitby

A family of 14 enjoyed a wondeful stay in N. Yorks. Grange Farm is large with a great amount of living space, enabling different people to do many different things. A small but sheltered garden was more than sufficient for our annual BBQ. The area is spectacular, with many beaches, interesting towns, cliff walks and the N York Moors on the door step. Sainsburys and Bike Hire are very close by. The property was very clean, exceptionally equipped and well maintained. Thoroughly recommended.

Well appointed and equipped house

The property was very clean and spacious, ideal for 8 adults and 6 children ranging in age from 1-12. Lots of places for hide and seek to be played as well as plenty of children's toys and books. There is a pretty garden and barbecue space at the end of it. There is a very good pub/restaurant about 50m away and children's playground and cinder and cliff paths to Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay close by. Falling Foss Falls and tea rooms are a few minutes drive away and there are easy drives to Staithes and Scarborough. The North Yorkshire Moors are nearby and it is about 40 minutes to Rievaulx Abbey. We enjoyed our week in Yorkshire and would recommend the house to friends.

Ideal family holiday venue.

Very comfortable, clean holiday home with a well equipped kitchen. The house was warm and welcoming and suitable for families, the beds ensured a good nights sleep. Various sitting areas meant plenty of room for different activities with children of differing ages. The house is ideally situated for visits to the coast or for local scenic walks. Would recommend this property to family and friends.

Easter at Grange Farm

We spent a week over Easter at Grange Farm. What a beautiful place to stay. When we arrived the Tesco delivery man had beaten us to it, but Denise, the owner had taken our order in for us and even unpacked it! The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. We had five children in our party all under 9 years old. The cottage was perfect for children and the amount of space meant that they could all play freely but safely. The garden was fully enclosed too. The surrounding area is very pretty. Robin hoods bay was a firm favourite. Would highly recommend a visit to fosse falls waterfall and tea garden, about a 10 min drive away. Very beautiful place to visit. Thank you to Denise for providing us with a lovely place to stay, with everything we needed. Highly recommend booking this cottage, especially for families with young children.

Perfect Holiday, Perfect House

Our family (8 adults and 6 children) spent a fantastic week at Grange Farm Holiday Cottage at the beginning of July. The house was just perfect! The accommodation is beautiful, maintained to a very high standard and very clean. The facilities in the house are excellent and everything you would need for a large family holiday. The house was perfect for our large family, especially for our family events and fun evenings. The children loved the layout of the house and there are plenty of rooms for the various needs of individual families. The location of the house was also ideal, just a short drive into Whitby (which was a revelation to us – such a lovely place) and to Robin Hood’s Bay. Our grandchildren especially enjoyed going crabbing! We would highly recommend Grange Farm Holiday Cottage and location – Perfect Holiday – Perfect Home!

When Can We Come Back?

After the worst December on record for weather we travelled from all corners of the UK to the snowy North Yorkshire Moors full of trepidation as to how cold we were going to be in an old farmhouse. How wrong we were!! The central heating was on full blast and the log fire was burning brightly.The owner greeted us as if we were old friends. Somehow we knew we were going to be in for a good holiday. Within minutes of arrival the Tesco Van arrives with our supplies and plenty of wine!! (Stroke of genius by daughter, recommend to everyone to do this.) So within an hour of arriving it was as if we had lived here forever. The cottage was immaculate, well maintained, well equipped, and the beds were very comfy. Rooms are a good size and the baths are HUGE, especially the romantic 2 person bath in the attic en-suite, perfect for a stargazing romantic evening!! The cottage is ideally suited to large families or groups and is deceptively large and cosy. The facilities for the children were brilliant, the owners had provided a stair gate, high chair and even some toys! We had some wonderfull family walks over the cliff tops to Robin Hoods Bay & Whitby itself, and a great time in Goathland(where Heartbeat was filmed). Must recommend The Magpie Fish Restaurant in Whitby. They accomodated our large party (including children and one with food allergies) superbly, and the fish and chips were to die for! Just ring and book a few weeks in advance to avoid the queues. There is plenty to do around the area, even in the snow and we will hopefully return for another visit soon.

top place to stay for large family

I highly recommend grange farm to anyone with a large family to get away from it all. The house was spotless and had everything we needed. loads of space downstairs, a table big enough for 14 of us to get round, LARGE pans(great) and lots of pots. Dishwasher was good too. Bedrooms were fine but maybe a bit more hanging space would be nice. Lots of places to visit in the area but we spent lot of time on beach with grandchildren . Great, would go again any time

Everything we could wish for ...

Our family holiday to celebrate my daughter's 40th birthday with a collection of friends and family dropping in for the week was so much fun. Our expectations of the cottage were fully met - it is comfortable and very well equipped. Plenty of space for old and young alike - easy parking - easy access to Whitby, Runswick Bay, Ruswarp and Sandsend. We would definitely go again if the circumstances allow and will recommend the cottage to our friends and family.
