This is a lovely place to stay, a real home from home. Close to Whitby beach and Abbey also a 40 min drive to Scarborough. Clean, tidy and very comfortable. The eggs and milk were a lovely touch. We are definitely going to go again

Lovely quiet property close to Whitby

We had a great short break to visit the area and the goth weekend. The cottage was perfect for our needs and Pauline and Bob were very helpful. The kids loved feeding the alpacas! Easy walk to the park and ride to get a bus into Whitby, and a 5 minute drive to beautiful Sandsend to enjoy the beach. We hope to be back!

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location

Very well equipped cottage in a well positioned location. There were 6 of us staying and had plenty of space for us although we were lucky to have great weather so we could use the garden as well. We had a few wi-fi issues in the evenings but

Just back from a lovely little 2 night stay at Grain Cottage. Beautiful little hideaway with everything you could possibly need.

Thanks Pauline!

I booked the wrong week like a moron. Pauline was still able to accommodate even though I didn’t notice until about noon the day we arrived. It’s a very well done barn conversion. It was great having an enclosed yard for the dog. You can’t beat the price and we even got to feed the alpacas.

Second visit with my family. The barn is in a quiet location, but only a short walk to the beach. Whitby is only a 15 minute drive. The barn is lovely and plenty of room for a family (4 in ours). The beds are come with fresh bedding.

Idyllic

Beautiful cottage with all essential amenities. Placed in a quiet, exquisite area just outside Newholm. Lovely garden and we were blessed with outstanding weather! Good selection of DVDs, boardgames and beach toys. Owners live next door, not remotely over-bearing, but always happy to help. Nice walk into Whitby and Sandsend. If you can't face the hills on the way home, taxis were all dog friendly we found. Would definitely return again.

Lovely cottage in great location

We had a lovely time in the very clean and well equipped cottage. The setting and garden were lovely, only a mile or so down to the beach at sandsend which was dog friendly even in July. Very convenient for getting into whitby too, Lidl only 5 minutes away by car. Loads to see and do and easy to access coast road to visit other places nearby. Cottage was well equipped for visiting with small children with stair gates, a cot and a high chair. Only downside was very see through blinds on the velux windows in the two upstairs bedrooms, we rigged up some towels to make the rooms darker but there was still quite a lot of light coming through so would bring travel blinds if we came again.
