Beautiful location and extremely well presented property.  All of the furnishings are top quality and the overall standard is extremely high. Had a magnificent week with our 2 children and the in-laws (2nd year running). Really enjoyed the tranquil setting but still convenient to other attractions.

A.R. - Granary Cottage, near Scarborough - July 2015

Red Kite House is an excellent place to relax. Placed in the middle of marvellous and idyllic nature. It is also a good starting point for many tours. The house was clean and very well equipped. We felt very comfortable.

K.K. - Red Kite House - June 2014

We've stayed in 14 cottages over the years and this one is equal first with one other for facilities but easily the best for location. After an enjoyable holiday we often say we would love to go back in this case we will definitely return. The welcome basket of food was very much appreciated.

S.D. - The Boathouse - June 2015

Fabulous place to stay, superbly appointed. Excellent too for guest with mobility problems, very accessible. Thank you for your attention to detail.

Loved the gift of wine and chocs - much appreciated.  The quiet country location suited us well.  All three ladies in the party were pleased with their rooms and accommodation overall. 

J.F. - Manor House Farm - April 2015

The most beautiful cottage in a breathtaking location. Absolutely loved our stay and will definitely return. We had a couple of issues which were resolved by Country Cottage Holidays immediately and without question. The only thing we would find off putting is the adjacent cottage. It was unoccupied whilst we were there, but if it had been and they had had a dog, it could have caused problems as there is only a gate separating the two gardens at the front. Other than that, full marks!

G.W. - Manor House Farm - April 2015

The house is absolutely lovely, really nicely decorated and furnished and in the most wonderful location you can imagine - fabulous views of the countryside from all the windows and blissfully quiet. It is really well equipped, cosy and comfortable, and I have never had such gorgeously luxurious duvets - ever! There were also some really nice and very welcome touches - such as shower gel and hand wash left in all the bathrooms - not usual for rented cottages. I would definitely and whole heartedly recommend a stay here and we definitely plan to return. Thank you.

K.F. - Manor House Farm - April 2015

The Cottage was immaculate, very homely, warm and the log fire was brilliant.  Couldn't fault anything, the milk in the fridge, tea coffee and sugar basket, and the vase of flowers were a very nice thoughtful touch!

J.H. - North Cottage - March 2015

Very nicely appointed cottage in a great location, perfect for a relaxing weekend away. Would definitely go again.
