Cosy cottage with lovely views
Cowslip cottage is the perfect size for two people and the views to the sea are lovely with goats and donkeys for entertainment. The cottage is cosy and comfortable with all the kitchen bits needed and a handy bottle of milk on arrival. Even more helpful is the EV charging port. Really good location for exploring Whitby, Robin Hood’s Bay and other local places. Very nice holiday overall!

Gorgeous cottage with sea views nr. Robin Hoods Bay
Perfect location to visit sites all around e.g. Robin Hoods Bay, Whitby, Filey, Staithes, The Cleveland Way, etc. Lots of really good info in welcome pack, especially footpath walk to Boggle Hole beach. Milk, tea, coffee and cake on arrival. Superb views of the countryside and sea. Goats, sheep, chickens and 2 very friendly dogs. Owners very welcoming and helpful. Cottage warm, cosy and very well decorated with everything you need. Good parking. Pub and bus stops at the top of the lane. Excellent!

Fantastic cottage with everything that we required.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the cottage was a great base to explore the surrounding area. The owners were very helpful and made us feel welcome. My daughter particularly loved the games room and there was great fields within 2 mins walk for the dog. We would strongly recommend this cottage to anyone who was thinking about staying in this location.

Wonderful Place
Super cottage in a lovely place. Really nice welcome. Bus stop with bus to either Whitby or Scarborough just at the top of the lane. Funny donkey alarm in the morning which wakes you up with a smile and a walk to Robin Hoods Bay if you fancy some exercise. 100% recommended.

Beautiful.
This property is stylish and comfortable in a gorgeous location with stunning views. You can spend the day exploring the picturesque area or having fun on one of the local beaches and come back to relax at the cottage with everything you need for a great holiday. We also enjoyed both the wildlife and domesticated animals at Meadowbeck with a special mention to the lovely donkeys Willow and Bracken! We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to friends and family.

Great little getaway
The cottages are beautifully presented, spotless and have gorgeous views down to the sea. Everything you could need in a home from home is provided, down to tea towels and dishwasher tablets. Just a short drive or walk down to Robins Hood Bay and a few more miles from Whitby they are in a great location. We loved popping up to the local pub The Flask in the evening and even won the pub quiz! Great 3 nights away, we thoroughly enjoyed it!

Beautiful cottage. Will definitely be back.
We stayed in the 2 bedroom Cowslip cottage for a week just after Easter. The cottage was beautiful. Spotlessly clean and stylishly decorated. The views from the patio are fabulous with the sea in the distance and a field where the owners donkeys roam during the day. They have a large games room opposite to the cottages with an honesty bar, pool table, darts, chess and more which was great to pop over to for an hour after we had been out. We definitely felt like we were coming 'home' at the end of each day. The location is perfect, 10 minutes in car from Scarborough, 10 minutes in car from Whitby and nicely located for Pickering and Helmsley. There is no doubt that we will definitely be booking to stay there again.
