    Nothing we didn't like.

    We stayed in the Wood cabin, and it was comfortable, clean, spacious, beautifully decorated, quiet and equipped with everything you could possibly need to be self-sufficient. Sandra and David were wonderful hosts and were on hand to provide and assistance, a fabulous breakfast each morning and to start the day with a laugh (thank you David). No problems with parking, which is very secure and it's a good location to catch the steam train from Pickering to Whitby.

    A large slice of magic in north-eastern Yorkshire.

    Nothing.

    Wood Cottage is a true home from home and situated in a beautiful village with excellent access to the North Yorkshire Moors from the south and the coast at Scarborough to the east. Sandra and David were perfect and very friendly hosts and made us feel most welcome throughout. Our bedroom was spacious with a large double bed, TV, tea/coffee making facilities, a small fridge and a fully equipped en suite and its huge windows and balcony facilitated great views southwards over the stunning countryside. Our breakfasts, either continental or cooked, were superb as was the home-baked cake in the fridge which awaited our arrival. We have never had better value for money anywhere else and will certainly be returning for longer very soon. Wood Cottage must be in the running to be Yorkshire's if not the UK's best B and B.

    We had a two night break at Wood Cottage following a reshuffle of an already planned stay, and we are so glad we chose this wonderful accommodation, Sandra and David are amazing hosts and nothing seemed too much trouble. The room was wonderful with spectacular views, a very comfortable bed, quality bedding and a choice of firm and soft pillows and a whirlpool bath that was just the ticket after a long day walking. Breakfast is pre-ordered the night before to ensure there is no disappointment, both mornings we opted for the "Full English" which was delicious however every taste, diet and appetite is accommodated for on the comprehensive menu. For our second day we ordered a packed lunch, this was great value for money, incredibly tasty (homemade carrot cake and flapjack) it was all in the ethos Wood Cottage packaged in recyclable containers.

    - The floor/ceiling windows meant that it was the best view we have ever had on a holiday. - The magic tricks at breakfast meant it was an unforgettable experience! - Lots of small, little touches that were really lovely (for example, bottles of wine/homemade carrot cake on arrival/the most friendliest cat!). - Despite it being a rural location, the internet was fantastic! - Lovely breakfast options.

    "Charming Yorkshire Weekend Getaway"

    I recently had the pleasure of spending a weekend break here, and it was truly a delightful experience. From the picturesque countryside views to the warm hospitality of the locals, Yorkshire offers a perfect blend of relaxation and exploration. The cobbled streets and historic buildings transported me back in time, providing a glimpse into the region's rich literary history. Indulging in Yorkshire's culinary scene was a treat for the taste buds. From traditional pub fare to gourmet dining experiences, the local cuisine showcased the region's culinary prowess and dedication to using fresh, local ingredients. The Wood Cottage was cozy and inviting, providing a comfortable retreat after a day of exploration. The hospitality of the hosts added an extra layer of warmth to the experience. Overall, my weekend break in Yorkshire was a perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and cultural immersion. I highly recommend this charming region to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in the heart of the English countryside.
