16th December marks the 100th anniversary of the Bombardment of Scarborough - the first attack on our shores in 1914. There are some very interesting bits of information, accounts and photographs of that day (see www.scarboroughsmaritimeheritage.org.uk/) when over 700 shells were launched from sea in half an hour! There are also lots of events around town to mark the occasion - see discoveryorkshirecoast.com/scarborough-remembers.aspx for more info. On a brighter note, it's actually a lovely time of year to visit the Yorkshire Coast and stroll along our beautiful beaches with your fish and chips

We have stayed numerous times over the years at this cottage and love everything about it.

A.S. - North Cottage - October 2014

We enjoyed our stay in Manor House Farm and recommend it to anyone wanting a peaceful /away from it all holiday in a beautiful valley but yet so close to the busy Yorkshire coast. Delightful renovation and high quality fixtures and fittings. All you need is there.

J.T. - Manor House Farm Cottage - October 2014

This is a beautiful, peaceful place that let us enjoy the Highland countryside - from the pheasants to the scenery! We enjoyed the layout and the ability to accommodate a 3rd child in the one room. Having 2 full bathrooms and a half bathroom was a pleasant surprise for us.

G.M. - Roebuck Cottage - October 2014

Beautiful relaxing setting. Very tastefully decorated and furnished.

J.B. - North Cottage - October 2014

After all these years a true home from home - the weather as always was fantastic, we managed to do all we wanted but still had plenty of relaxation at the cottage:- Thanks Jo the cottage was as welcoming as always.

P.M. & Y.M. - North Cottage - July 2014

What a perfect place. It has a real wow factor on so many levels, from the 25ft vaulted ceiling to bedding by the White Company. The little terrace is a real sun trap. The weather was so nice when we were here that we had to buy a sun brolly! Highly recommended, we WILL be back.

S.A. - Otter Lodge - July 2014

Beautiful cottage. The Smalls loved having Al Fresco breakfast with the sheep and lambs. Had a great day out @ Thorpe Perrow Arboretum @ Bedale with the birds of prey. Lots of picnic places, cafe, and great play park. Spent a day @ Richmond. Market Day is Saturday. Waterfalls, picnicing & paddling in the River Swale is worth a trip. Barney is always lovely too - great cake @ Penney's.

J.M. - West Cottage - May 2014

All fantastic, very comfortable and homely with everything you would need and more. Location absolutely beautiful, not one negative thing to say at all. Look forward to coming back again. No issues at all, all very high standard.
