“The property was lovely and cosy just right for us with an adjacent parking space very important, good location easy access to all the places we wanted to go.”

Only downside was the sofa which seemed to want you not to sit on it as the seat cushions slip forward. otherwise we had everything we needed and a lovely welcome box to boot

Kerr August 2024

“Really nice cottage.”

Great location and really nice village. Pub near by, butchers, shop and bakers. Short drive into Whitby too and surrounding villages such as Runswick Bay. Good facilities in cottage, clean and well equipped. Only thing would be couch was uncomfortable and could possibly do with a pouffe or something. Not major as always out all day, just for at night when in cottage.

- Kerr, August 2024

Thank you for your kind feedback. We have now added a pouffe for the sofa. Property Owner
Denise July 2024

“Rosemary Cottage is the ideal bolthole for two - very comfortable and well equipped.”

It's beautifully decorated and furnished with everything you need and in a great position between the coast and the moors. The village of Sleights also has everything you need - butcher, baker, pub. The only slight niggle we had was the weedy state of the garden in front of the cottage. That aside, we had a wonderful stay - thank you

- Denise, July 2024

Thank you so much for your kind feedback. I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

Karla June 2024

“This is a lovely cottage in a great location.”

It’s very peaceful and easy to get to all the great surrounding locations. The cottage was clean, well furnished with everything you need and more. The was a lovely welcome pack and milk on the fridge on arrival which was great after a long journey. Comfy bed. We had a great week and would highly recommend this cottage.

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. I’m really glad you enjoyed your stay and hope that you return in future! Property Owner
Alan June 2024

“Lovely cottage nicely located and convenient for many places around about.”

Nice quiet location and very helpful neighbours. The only mark against it is it could do with a new settee. Other than that no complaints and definitely recommend.

- Alan, June 2024

Thank you for your feedback, we hope you enjoyed your stay! Property Owner
Colin June 2024

“Been at this cottage twice now.”

Its such a lovely place to stay. Already booked again for next year, but staying at the cottage next door .I'm sure this will be at the highest standard.

- Colin, June 2024

Thank you for your feedback and I’m glad you enjoyed your stay so much that you returned! The property next door is owned by someone else but they are a similar layout and I’m sure you’ll have a wonderful stay. Property Owner

Susan May 2024

“One big issue for us was we couldn't fill bathroom washbasin with water to wash our hands as the plug didn't work.”

We had had to wash our hands under running cold water as the hot tap became scalding hot very quickly, hygiene issue & scalding possibility. For us as being elderly with health issues downstairs not very comfortable, one sofa unable to stretch out, maybe tv on the wall and out table under the window, it takes huge space up in the middle of the room where a small armchair and coffee table could be. Love the bed mattress, just the bed is too low, it was hell getting on our feet, especially my Husband recently diagnosed with Parkinson's. Overall enjoyed it but wouldn't come back as the stairs was a really bad problem for us, I have mobility issues but overcame the stairs in hands and knees, unfortunately we booked this before we knew what medical issue my Husband has, only something we thought was fixable, had we known we wouldn't have booked this, so to be fair to the owner maybe make a point in mentioning somewhere not suited to those with mobility issues.

- Susan, May 2024

Hi, thank you for the feedback & I’m sorry that you didn’t find the cottage suitable. I will look into the bathroom sink, thank you for bringing this to my attention. I’m glad you still enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Anne April 2024

Sarah March 2024

“Great holiday cottage, very well-equipped and comfortable with tasteful decor.”

Convenient location to access the coast or North Yorkshire moors inland attractions.

- Sarah, March 2024

Thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed your stay Property Owner
Terry March 2024

“This one bedroom cottage is in a nice quiet location.”

It is fitted out well with all the appliances you would need..however as an older couple ..(late sixties) the stairs were narrow ,quite steep with a turn in them ,making them difficult to negotiate. The Bed albeit very comfortable was extremely low and again difficult to get out of.. for us older clients. The welcome pack was a lovely gesture and much appreciated. One criticism would be the attention to detail in cleaning..there were a number of areas that could have been cleaner..the drawer in the wahing machine..(now cleaned by us)..the rack in the oven needs a better clean..cobwebs on lights in Bedroom. But the general tidiness was good. On the whole we thought that it was lovely but probably better suited to a younger couple.

- Terry, March 2024

Hi Terry, thank you so much for your feedback. I’m sorry that you didn’t find the cottage suitable and I apologise that some cleaning jobs were missed. These have now been addressed, thank you for bringing them to our attention. We have now ordered a new bed that isn’t as low, sorry I know this doesn’t benefit you but hopefully will be more suitable for our future guests. Thanks again and I hope you enjoyed your stay aside from the issues you mentioned Property Owner
Gerard March 2024

“The property was as listed, when we had arrived thr place was clean, and as described on the listing.”

The owner had left some biscuits, cake and prosecco which was a lovely touch. Whitby was only a short drive away, there are some lovely walks around the area and had everything that we had needed

- Gerard, March 2024

Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are really glad you had a nice stay! Property Owner
Jessica February 2024

“We had a fantastic stay at Rosemary Cottage for a long weekend.”

It was lovely and peaceful yet with great accessibility to local attractions. The cottage is very homely with gorgeous decor throughout. The kitchen is very well equipped including branded appliances. A perfect property for a couple, or couple with a baby.

- Jessica, February 2024

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay & hope you visit again in future. Property Owner

Steven November 2023

“A nice cottage situated in an area that we know and like - fantastic butcher (Radfords) and bakers (Bothams) close by.”

And also close to all the places we love - Goathland, Whitby etc. Neighbour was friendly and welcoming. Quiet area, no disturbance. The cottage was comfortable and looks to have been well equipped. However some things were a little tired - frying pans worn out, poor knives (all blunt), loose taps. Oven was a bit greasy and smoky when we first used it. The outdoor wheely bin was full on the day we arrived (Friday) with collection not being until the following Thursday. Also no black rubbish sacks in the kitchen. The bathroom was probably our biggest disappointment - noisy fan (as per previous reviews), very low pressure in the shower and worst of all the bathroom smelled very damp and musty. The cottage wasn't brilliant for us as we do a lot of outdoor walking in all weathers and there was no outside tap to clean boots and very little space inside the front door to take off/dry footwear and coats. It all got a bit busy and complicated! Overall though it was 'good' and sufficient, just not very good or excellent. It could be a lot better quite easily with just a little effort.

- Steven, November 2023

Thank you for your feedback Steven. I apologise that our cottage didn’t meet your expectations. We try really hard to maintain the property to a high standard to please our guests. I will replace the knives & frying pans, thank you for bringing this to my attention. There are hooks for coats under the stairs and also a shoe rack that you could have used. Regarding the bathroom smell, it’s not something I’ve noticed when doing weekly changeovers but will certainly look into. Property Owner
Jeanette September 2023

“We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely cottage with its own parking space.”

We found it very comfortable and well equipped for our needs. The welcome pack was much appreciated, such a nice touch. We would have liked a broom to sweep up with, and maybe a lamp downstairs to provide softer lighting of an evening, but otherwise all good. Sleights is delightful, we especially enjoyed sitting in the garden of the Salmon Leap pub of an evening with the dog. The cottage is very handy for the local buses/trains and all our usual haunts ie Whitby, Goathland, Ruswarp. We would definitely stay here again as it was so very quiet and peaceful (we loved hearing the birds sing in the morning, the owl in the middle of the night, and the steam trains as they passed).

- Jeanette, September 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We always try to take on board suggestions so we will look to add a lamp and a brush. Thank you & we hope that you book again! Property Owner
Trevor August 2023

“The cottage was lovely with plenty of light and fresh air in a lovely village setting.”

Comfortable apart from the sofa which was too low. Instruction would have been useful for the shower as it seemed to be either too hot or too cold. Local shops very good bakers and butchers and the general store well stocked. Good walking and close to local attractions. North yorkshire moors railway. Whitby etc

- Trevor, August 2023

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We recently replaced the sofa which we think will be more suitable for guests. We will look to include more instructions in the property information. We hope that you’ll stay again in future. Property Owner
Cheryl July 2023

“On the whole a lovely cottage in a peaceful area.”

The welcome pack is a lovely gesture and the cottage is well equipped. The only negatives are: 1. The settee isn't very comfortable and is a bit low. 2. The bathroom fan is very noisy and goes on too long We would definitely recommend this cottage to others and hope at some point to return ourselves

- Cheryl, July 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We always try to make improvements based on the feedback that we get so thank you for bringing these things to our attention. We do hope you’ll return in the future. Property Owner
John June 2023

“Very good cottage, with a couple of negative comments.”

Cups in the cupboard were unwashed….we always bring our own fortunately. The cottage is “dog friendly” but has no area in which a dog can perform its toilet functions. We also felt a lighter weight duvet (10.5 tog in use)would be more appropriate in early July,

- John, June 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We apologise that you found various issues during your stay. We have purchased a summer weight duvet which is available in the wardrobe if it’s too hot for the thicker duvet. Property Owner
James June 2023

“Excellent cottage extremely well kept and very clean .”

It is just three miles from Whitby and well placed to explore such well know places such as Staithes and Runswick Bay . Given the opportunity to book again we would have but having looked at the at the dates available we found it was fully booked , a testament I feel to the quality of the cottage .

- James, June 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We hope you’re able to return in future Property Owner

But the house was well stocked of all essential s which was a really nice touch and surprise.

Upon the cusp of the North York Moors National Park and a short distance to the coastline, the cottage is the ideal base for a romantic getaway, offering open-plan living, a decked area, and a stylish double bedroom.

Benefit from the well-equipped kitchen, where you can prepare meals for two, before gathering around the dining table or venturing outdoors for an alfresco affair.

Return indoors to relax upon the corner sofa enveloped by beamed ceilings and homely furnishings, before retiring upstairs to complete your nightly routine in the sleek shower room.

Rest your eyes in the double bedroom, featuring a grand bed, olive green panelling, and plush carpets underfoot, before kickstarting your countryside adventure.

Once you're ready to venture into the county, make your way towards Whitby, stopping off at the breath-taking Larpool Viaduct, before following the Cinder Track towards the coastline, arriving at Whitby Museum and the stunning Pannett Park.

You'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to local attractions, with the chance to tour the history-rich remains of Whitby Abbey, welcoming visitors for over 1500 years, enjoy the sandy terrain of Whitby Sea Front, aligned with delightful beach huts, and view the town from an elevated position, by climbing the 199 steps, overlooking the coastline.

On return to Rosemary Cottage, be sure to enjoy the host of beauty spots dotted across the national park, including Mallyan Spout Waterfall, and the chance to tour the area upon the North Yorkshire Moors Railway line, offering memorable on-board experiences.
