Reviews
"We really enjoyed our stay at the Wood. The cottage is very clean, cosy and well-equipped with fabulous rural views and in a great location. There are lots of nice walks in the area to nearby villages, and we never tired of walking around the picturesque village of Brompton by Sawdon itself. The location between Pickering and Scarborough is ideal, with Malton, the food capital of Yorkshire, around 20 minutes' drive away. Marlene, the host, is kind, friendly and helpful and keeps the cottage well stocked with cupboard staples, cleaning supplies and a welcome tray of cereals, biscuits etc. She is on hand if you need anything, but your privacy is assured at all times. Marlene also provided great recommendations on walks and places to go nearby. We throroughly enjoyed our stay at The Wood and were very comfortable there - whether sitting out at the back of the cottage gazing out over lovely views on a sunny day or cosying up around the fire on chillier nights. Highly recommended!"
"The Wood cottage is located centrally between Scarborough and Whitby. The cottage is nicely presented with a spacious lounge and walk through kitchen to a dining room which overlooks the surrounding countryside. Spacious twin bedroom and a double provide comfy sleeping accommodation. An open fire is a nice feature to warm a cold evening. Although the gas central heating is extremely efficient and quick warms the cottage. Wifi is available in the kitchen, dining room and lounge. Parking is to the side of the cottage down a steep driveway onto a gravel area which can accommodate 2 vehicles easily. An enjoyable weekend in a warm and cosy cottage."
"Lovely cottage with a beautiful garden over looking open fields, ideally set out with a log fire,very clean with two bedrooms and a mezanae with a sofa bed Ideal for a family holiday. "
"We very much enjoyed our stay - and not only because the weather was generally friendly. It's an excellent location for places we like, it was very confortable, and the facilities were good. There was wi-fi available even though we had not expected it. All in all, we could not have asked for better!"
"We had a lovely week in the cottage and were very lucky with the weather. The cottage had everything we needed"
"Excellent central location for all east coast attractions. Very comfortable cottage with all mod cons. Children loved the galleried area. Refreshments tray on arrival was a really nice touch. Would definitely stay again."
"We were warmly welcomed, shown around the property and given useful information on local amenities and places to visit. The property, although on a main road, was set down from the road and screened by a high hedge with very little traffic noise and with lovely views across fields and the Derwent valley, particularly from the breakfast/dining room. The property was modern, clean and well equipped, although TV reception was very poor, even on the large modern LCD TV. Set on the outskirts of the village of Brompton, it was very convenient for its excellent local butcher's shop and the local pub -very good for meals! The very steep drive down to the parking area could prove challenging to a less experienced driver, particularly for the hill starts necessary to get out on to the main road. All in all an excellent stay in a lovely location in easy reach of the North Yorkshire Moors and the coast."
"Light, spacious accommodation, rather unusually arranged, with open-plan stairs from the living room leading up to the third bedroom, which is in effect a large landing with a futon bed - would be ideal for children, with lots of play-space, except there is no way of restricting light and noise from the living-room at bed-time. Well equipped kitchen leading to pleasant small dining-room. Bathroom could do with updating and supplying with a lock. Huge lawned garden with country views. Very easy access to the coast and Moors."
