Reviews
"We arrived late after car trouble and were pleased to find that Wrelton is a beautiful little village with lots of character . The owner of the cottage was friendly / approachable and showed us to Croft Head Cottages only entrance which is a traditional low door ( I am 6'1" and the top of the door met my eye brows ) and so bobbing down was necessary for me and our teenage son but my wife managed to clear it with a bit to spare . On entering the cottage we found the compact kitchen/lounge/diner which includes an attractive fire place & log burner . The kitchen area of the room was equipped with a free standing cooker , washing machine , fridge and microwave oven but little available cupboard space . The sofa and accompanying chairs appeared to be a little ' tired ' and were not as comfortable as we are used to . When I opened the door to the stairs I was a little surprised at how steep and uneven they appeared to be ( the wife had forgotten to mention that aspect ) . I was able to ascend the stairs with a little effort but had to be more aware of my footing on the way down because some steps were higher than others ( the properties only WC / BATHROOMS are upstairs ) . Watch out for a couple of low beams upstairs . Our stay was relatively peaceful but punctuated by a few sessions of noisy aircraft manoeuvres from the local RAF air bases - I understand that this issue is totally out of the owners control and only mention it in the interest of an honest review of our stay . The cottage on the whole was clean and tidy with some attractive features but some of the furnishings were tired and in need of owner attention - not least the mattress on the double bed which was uncomfortable and seemed to have some kind of structure down its middle which at times made us feel like we were falling out of bed . Everything said this cottage offers value for money in an area where accommodation can be very costly but personally speaking l like a little more space and comfort and so l would not consider staying here again .... SORRY ."
"Yorkshire tea on arrival and yummy biscuits were great. Brilliant wood burner."
"The cottage is really well presented and the en suite in the 2nd bedroom was a bonus for our teenage daughter! Everything we wanted to see and do was within an hours drive so the location really worked for us. Would definately recommend this cottage to others. The living, dining, kitchen is compact but has everything you need. I imagine it would be very cosy in winter with the log burner going!"
"Lovely, well equiped little cottage in a gorgeous setting. Perectly located for travelling to nearby attractions. We appreciated all the little touches the owner set out for our arrival, esp the choc biccies! Very clean and this is the first holiday we've booked where we didn't need to buy lots of products and bits and bobs for cleaning etc. Our girls loved the fact there was a trampoline and table tennis to use in the barn outside and that they had their own en-suite! If you're looking for the tradition "cottage" feel holiday,this is the cottage to go for. 5*'s all the way! We will def be back sometime soon."
"lovely cottage situated in a quiet hamlet outside Pickering made it central to our explorations standards at the cottage were very good and the owners freindly and approachable would certainaly reccomend this property to friends and family"
"Definitely a great place to stay if you want a quiet home, not too far from York. The kids (10 and 12) enjoyed being on their own floor. You have everything you need and more in the small but adequately furnished family room. The washing machine is a great plus. The area is fantastic for walking and taking a tour on a steam train. Maybe less suitable for a family with teenagers."
"The owners were extremely welcoming and we appreciated the tea and biscuit tray on arrival. The cottage was exactly as we expected it to be and looked just like it did in the brochure.the location was perfect for exploring the coast, the Moors and the city of York. the village was pretty and had a good local pub and there were good restaurants near by. The whole holiday was fantastic and the cottage didn't disappoint. We had a great time."
"Wow; we received a warm welcome not just when we arrived but everytime we met our hosts during our stay. They offered advice on places to visit, where to eat and even how to get there. The cottage is beautifully decorated and located; we dont usually visit the same area twice, but if we where ever in the location there is only one place to stay - HERE!"
"We really enjoyed our stay in Werlton North Yorkshire and would recommend the cottage and Sykes .However i think the lounge kittchen area could be improved and as a overall opinion as we have stayed in two of your cottages i think an investment in better TV entertainment ie freeveiw with at least a 28" screen"
