We thoroughly enjoyed our second visit to this Gem of a cottage, Sue is so welcoming and Larch cottage felt even more cosy and homly than it did the first time around. A beautiful cottage with so many beautiful places to visit nearby and a lovely host what's not to love.

Our stay at Larch cottage was perfect from start to finish. Sue was there to welcome us on our arrival and show us around. The cottage had everything we needed for a home from home stay, very dog friendly property with enclosed private garden area but also Sue very kindly gave us permission to use her garden which is larger, enclosed and very dog safe. The hot tub was the icing on the cake, perfect for relaxing after a day of walking the dogs and exploring. The location is a perfect base to explore the area, there is lots to see and do nearby. We loved it so much that we've booked another stay for my birthday later this month. Would definitely recommend.

The cottage is a wonderful place to stay. Perfect for two people and the hot tub is ideal after a day exploring. Sue was really friendly and helpful and Poppy was so welcoming. There is parking in front of the cottage and everything you need for a lovely break. We would happily return again, fantastic.

Anniversary stay with dogs

Stayed a couple of nights as a base to go to the coast with our 2 dachshunds, location was very quiet and perfect for relaxing, property was secure for our pets, a couple of miles in either direction was a village with pubs, shops etc. Coast was only 20 mins drive. Overall a very pleasant stay...

On arrival, Sue greeted us, showed us around, fresh milk in fridge, tea, coffee, sugar. The best information folder I have seen, nothing left out. The cottage was lovely, amazing hot tub, use of our own patio, secured for our dogs use of part of her beautiful garden. Situation was amazing to explore our favourite North Yorkshire, Scarborough to Whitby, Sands End, the moors. Cannot rate highly enough. Fab stay!

Lovely Place!

Lovely property fully equipped and nicely decorated. Hot tub is great, and the roof above means it can be used even in bad weather. Our dog Bessie loved using the large garden area, and the host Sue was great. Well recommended!
