Meadowsweet

Denise was very welcoming, lovely cottage clean and comfortable.

Set in beautiful scenery. Everything you need for a relaxing stay. I would recommend this property.

Meadowsweet was a well appointed, very comfortable holiday house.

The owners were very welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The house is situated in a most beautiful setting. Only 3 of us stayed in the house, which is set up to accommodate 6 people. We would recommend that the hot tub be emptied and refilled for each new set of guests. It should also be resited, away from the window of the adjoining, smaller, holiday house;"Foxglove"; so as to reduce any noise affecting the neighbours, or, Meadowsweet be given a larger outdoor area, to reflect the fact that 6 people could occupy the space.

The host is friendly and welcoming, together with her 2 lovely dogs.

Accomodation is a great barn conversion with plenty of space, beds are really comfy and all the bedrooms are good size. Fantastic views across the valley from the hot tub and glimpsies of the steam train when its running, the station is only 10 mins away. Goathland is a short drive away with nice cafes and gift shops. All in all a lovely little hideaway to relax, recharge and enjoy nature.

A really lovely cottage in a beautiful area, walks from cottage which was a bonus.

The owner Denise was on hand if you needed her and always very helpful, the hot tub was lovely after getting back from walking. Would highly recommend and definitely come back.

An excellent facility, we would highly recommend this property

Great property, plenty of space for all our family.

Extremely comfortable and with everything you need for a relaxing home from home holiday. Owner was very friendly and some lovely touches like flowers on our arrival made it even more special. Would definitely book again.

Excellent holiday accommodation set in a fabulous location with fantastic views Denise and Tim were brilliant with everything from contact before arrival and meeting us and giving us the tour The accommodation is superb everything was their from comfortable furniture especially the beds to a fully functioning kitchen and a excellent hot tub for end of day soaks and relaxation, we even seen the steam train I would highly recommend this accommodation as its in a great location and can't wait to return

Denise gave us a very warm welcome and tour of the property.

It was clean and well presented. the surroundings were superb, with amazing views and plentiful wildlife to watch.

Our second stay here in this comfortable conversion.

We love the peace and openness of the moors, and Caspar and Ollie the labradors provide added entertainment. The hot tub is a treat after a long walk or on a starry night, and the steam trains are visible from the house. Denise the owner is on hand if there are any problems, and the welcome basket provided was much appreciated. The kitchen area is spacious and equipped for making meals; we would suggest adding some more small/medium lidded pans. The cottage feels ‘away from it all’ but is well located for exploring the lovely moors villages and coast.

Fantastic October holiday week!

From the moment we arrived to the very end! Good communication with the owner Denise before we arrived, and a lovely welcome when we got there. Super accommodation, sympathetically renovated/developed, warm, wel equipped. Beds comfy. Hot tub was great. We all loved that we could see the North Yorkshire railway trains from the house. Fabulous views all round. Plenty of wildlife too, owls, pheasants and of course the owners lovely geese and dogs Casper and Ozzie. Good location for day trips, visited Whitby, Scarborough, York National Railway Museum. Also Staithes is beautiful and a great spot for crabbing! All in all, a fantastic week, would highly recommend.

We booked a weekend break at Meadow Sweet Cottage and honestly had the best time!

From the moment we arrived we felt so welcome — Denise greeted us with her adorable baby geese and showed us around the beautiful property, where a basket of wonderful Yorkshire goodies had been left for us. She also gave us some brilliant suggestions for days out, including a trip to Whitby Abbey where we caught a fantastic Dracula show and visited the brewery. The cottage itself was cosy, warm, and just the right size for the five of us. We absolutely loved the friendly dogs, Casper and Ozzy, and were sad to leave them when we went home. The geese knocking on the door and wandering about were such a lovely touch, and we even spotted lots of baby pheasants and partridges. The views and outdoor space were stunning, and we were lucky with the sunny weather so we could sit outside and soak up the gorgeous scenery over the valley. The hot tub was an absolute bonus and made our stay even more special. What really made the weekend though was how attentive and kind Denise and her family were — they truly went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. It was lovely to meet each of them, and they were such wonderful company throughout our visit. We only wish we’d booked for longer, but we’ll definitely be back. Honestly, you won’t be disappointed with this place — it’s fantastic!

Property sits in an idyllic setting with an amazing view.

It is very peaceful and serene. It is well-kept and clean, with a hot tub at the back facing the valley which was nice. I was fortunate to see the resident barn owl and abundance of game birds roaming the field! It’s off the beaten track and fantastic walks all around. There are plenty board games, books and dvds on those raining days. We will definitely return.

Warm welcome from owners who live close by, with friendly "nothing too much trouble" approach.

Fabulous surroundings, with plenty of wildlife, some domesticated to play with (geese, labradors, cat) and some just to look at (sheep, cows, bats, owls, pheasants etc.) Notable uninterrupted views would be the glorious hills, trees and other greenery, plus steam locomotive-hauled trains on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway in the nearby valley. Hot tub is ideal for relaxing and star gazing after a day of beautiful walks! Other small positives of note are, plenty of car parking, several Alexa Dots, variety of board games, Blue Ray player with selection of DVDs. Once you have negotiated the "interesting" single track road down to the cottage you are rewarded with a great base for exploring the magnificent North Yorkshire region.

A lovely cottage in a truly beautiful location.

The cottage is very well presented, and comfortable. And the owners were lovely and very helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to visit again.

Lovely cottage in peaceful location with amazing views.

Lots of space for 6 of us, really enjoyed hot tub and outside space to run dog. Friendly host would recommend.

Stunning property.

Will def be returning. Denise couldn’t do enough to help. Beautiful hamper left for us after a long journey, much needed. Location was idillic and so peaceful with beautiful wild life. We were even treated to a baby deer! Property was very very clean and comfortable. Lots to do in the house courtesy of the owners for rainy days. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Amazing place to stay in a fantastic location for all attractions the North Yorkshire offer.

Host of this property is so attentive but with the feel of privacy Stunning barn conversion Hosts animals so friendly and fun to be around. Had the most amazing time.

Beautiful barn conversion.

Very comfortable beds. Plenty of space for entire family. Views are out of this world. It is so peaceful and remote. Our dog made friends with owner’s dogs which added to the welcoming feel from the hosts. Whole package definitely deserves 5 stars and we will be back.

Very simple booking process, despite booking less than 24hrs before arriving.

Fabulous property, exactly as described, wonderful hosts, Tim and Denise, we were even blessed with the weather. Some of our family joined us at different times during the week and were equally impressed, they were also made very welcome by our hosts. The views from the property are simply stunning and the house had everything we needed for a relaxing, comfortable and enjoyable stay, the welcome pack a definite bonus. We will definitely be returning.

We had a great stay at Meadowsweet.

Loved the hot tub. Enjoyed watching the Barn owl, hares, deer and other wild life. Really enjoyed the pub at Beck Hole. We had very comfortable stay.

We had a fantastic 5-night break at Meadowsweet.

Beautiful cottage - very spacious, well equipped, comfy - could not have asked for more. Location is great. You can watch / hear the steam train from the cottage, which went a few times each day, including at 9.30am, which was nice to be woken up to. Hot tub fantastic. We had clear sky, so was great to sit and look at the stars. Great walks to the surrounding villages. Denise and her family were very helpful. Perfect mini break in a beautiful cottage, in a beautiful location.

Lovely isolated barn conversion.

Excellent holiday feel and relaxed owners. Good for bird watching and on the public footpath. Drive from main road is steep and gravelly but do able with a non 4 x4 type car but worth being aware of before arrival. Suitable for family or group of friends. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Absolutely perfect.

This is an amazing place to stay for a holiday. Every attention to detail has been taken. I can't recommend this lovely holiday home enough. Great as a base, but also a lovely place to chill and take in the breathtaking views from the hot tub. The owners were there to greet us. Leaving a lovely welcome hamper. They were there, but in no way intrusive.

We had a wonderful week at Meadowsweet.

It has everything you need for a relaxing holiday and is tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. Owners Denise and Chris met us on arrival and were so friendly and helpful. We were also greeted with a lovely hamper of goodies! The hot tub was a lovely bonus and the surroundings are simply stunning. We have already recommended to friends and we will definitely be back again. Thank you.

Meadowsweet is an outstanding property.

The views and position are simply stunning. The track down to the property we found to be well maintained, rather fun and well worth the effort. We saw Red Grouse, Red Squirrels, a Hare as well as having an incredible view of the barn owl swooping down the valley. The hot tub is a welcome addition to this well thought out and tastfully renovated property. The owners, Denise and family, were very friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Casper and Olly - the owners dogs were also great company, eager to play but happy to stop once told! We all fell in love with the peace and quiet: lovely walks can be found without getting in your car. A highlight for us was walking to Goathland from the property and having Sunday lunch at the Inn on the Moor. The best Sunday lunch we have had. We all had a great time at Meadowsweet and would highly recommend it.

Meadowsweet was such a lovley place to stay the views are amazing and the hot tub just finishes it off.

There is everything you need in Meadowsweet like a washing machine and dishwasher. When you stay there look out for the barn owl. The family who own it are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. I would recommend this place anytime just beautiful

Excellent, high standard property.

Very comfortable beds. Lovely reclining seats on settee and hot tub to relax when when you’ve been for a long walk. The views from the cottage are amazing and the steam train going through the valley just adds to the extra wow factor. So much to do in local area. Denise was lovely and helpful.

Another excellent stay at the amazing Meadowsweet.

Lovely welcome hamper of local goodies, none more local than the free range eggs from the owner's chickens. Property was immaculate as usual and the views never disappoint. Plenty of wildlife to view, from the clear view of the barn owl, pheasants, sheep/lambs and cows/calves, to the resident ducks, chickens, rabbits and of course the two adorable labradors, who are always very welcome visitors. Thank you Denise and family for another wonderful holiday

This property is a gem.

Furnished to a high standard, well equipped and nice welcome pack. Spotless throughout, comfortable beds, good heating, not that we needed it. Fabulous views, peaceful and very relaxing. Enjoyed the hot tub. Barn Owls nesting next door which were great to see. Highly recommended, would definitely stay here again.

We couldn't have asked for a better week.

The property and it's location are stunning, our 2 young daughters loved the property and all the animals from chickens, dogs, cats to owls and deer roaming the grounds. Thankyou for a holiday none of us will ever forget!

Great property right in the middle of the North York Moors, within relatively easy drive of all a lot of attractions.

Clean, warm, modern, comfy. Situated down 1/4 mile of farm track. Freakishly dark when you turn all the lights off, just a pity we didn't have a clear night to look at the stars! Would definitely stay again if we're in the area. Thanks!

A lovely cottage in an exceptional location for any walkers and steam enthusiasts!

Denise was wonderfully helpful with recommendations, cottage came equipped with fascinating books to learn more about the North York Moors Railway in particular, and the hot tub after a long walk was the cherry on top.

Wow!

Wow! Wow! I cannot recommend Meadowsweet highly enough. It was perfect in every way! All of the extra touches were so very appreciated! We were greeted by the most wonderfully decorated barn with presents for all of us under the Christmas tree! Denise is just so warm and welcoming and so generous and thoughtful. We had a wonderfully festive welcome basket and fresh flowers in every room. The barn is incredible and a true testament to all of the hard work that has made it more than a home from home! Everything is just perfect from the original stone walls and stairs to the most breathtaking views. The hot tub was amazing and we loved the clear skies under the moonlight! Everything about our week was magical and perfect and we will definitely be back. Thank you so very much ❤️

Fabulous hosts.

Welcoming, helpful, flexible and informative. The property is lovely and warm, and the hot tub - well

What a beautiful cottage, it had everthing we needed, on a great locatie.

The basket and fresh flowers was a nice welcome. Lovely walks nearby the cottage and the beach and nice villages are not far away. We had a wonderful stay! Thank you Denise & family, (and Casper & Ozzy)

We had a great stay at Meadowsweet.

It is a beautifully renovated cottage and has everything you would need. The cottage was warm and cosy and the warm welcome and fresh flowers made it more special. There are lots of lovely walks from the door and great pubs for lunch. The dogs were very entertaining. Thank you, we had a wonderful time.

A last minute booking and what a gem it turned out to be.

The barn conversion had been completed to a very high standard set overlooking a beautiful valley where the North Yorkshire steam trains run. The furnishings were quality. The cottage was well equipped and there was a much appreciated welcome basket. The host and indeed all the family were very welcoming, friendly and offered lots of advice on places to visit.

We cannot recommend this property highly enough.

We had a wonderful stay, the accommodation is appointed to a very high standard and no expense has been spared. Denise was a very welcoming host and was available should we have needed her. The views from the barn cottage are stunning and you are surrounded by an abundance of wildlife; barn owls, deer, pheasants, rabbits to name just a few. We were also entertained by the resident ducks and the two wonderful Labrador retrievers. Lots and lots to do along the east coast, Whitby, Staithes, Robin Hoods Bay, Pickering, Rosedale, Ravenscar all visited and to end the week we had a brilliant trip on the North Yorkshire Moors Pulman dining train.

We had a great time, the owners were lovely and very helpful.

The property was in a beautiful location and immaculately kept and catered for everyone, with everything we could want. Visits from wildlife and local animals, kept our children entertained. Hope to visit again and explore the woods and walks by the property. Thoroughly enjoyed winding down from a busy day at the beach in the huge hot tub! Views were fantastic and you can even see a steam train go by in the distance.

What a beautiful property in a beautiful setting.

Barn was extremely clean and the hamper on arrival was lovely. Fresh eggs were a treat too! The hot tub just topped the week off as very relaxing. Thank you so much

This cottage is holiday perfection.

It is spotlessly clean and has everything you'll need for a break away. The views are beautiful and it's rural location makes it quiet and restful. The NYMR steam railway is is at the bottom of the valley and great to watch. We had Owls in the barn next to us which we saw nearly every day. We had a lovely welcome pack. Its a short drive to lots of lovely village's and the beauty of the Moors with loads of great pubs. The owners live in the farmhouse on site and are attentive but not intrusive. We would absolutely recommend this location and will definitely visit again

Very high standard and beautifully converted barn, fully equipped with more than we would ever need; the owners are onsite and happy to help if you need anything.

Views are amazing, don't forget to travel on the NYMR so you can see the cottage from the steam train, to reverse the view of seeing the train from the cottage. Close to many local walks - you can get all of them to lead to a good pub without too much difficulty. Managed to have a really good view of the barn owls, hares and swallows, even without the binoculars that were supplied, as well as the lambs and calves this trip. Additions onsite for 2023 include a labrador pup, who is equally adorable as his older brother. We're already looking forward to another stay

We had a great week at Meadowsweet.

We were welcomed by Denise and given lots of great information on local restaurants, pubs and places to visit. The location is amazing; we loved looking out over the valley and watching the steam train travelling through. Meadowsweet was such a cosy and comfortable place to stay, with a big kitchen-diner and lovely living room to relax in. Our children loved meeting the animals and playing in the field outside. The hot tub was a fantastic bonus, too. Thank you for looking after us so well.

Simply wonderful.

What a great place to stay with family. The house had everything you could need and has been finished to the highest standard. The hosts were incredibly accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. We would certainly stay here again and have already recommended it to friends and family. A 5 star stay.

A spacious, comfortable and warm barn conversion in a peaceful location with stunning views and numerous marked walking trails from the cottage.

The North York Moors steam train runs from Goathland (Hogwarts' station and home to Heartbeat) which is a pleasant country walk away through the valley. The coast, Robin Hood's bay, Whitby and Staithes are half an hours drive away. Enhanced by the wildlife, deer, hares, barn owls, pheasants and the owners ducks, chickens whose delicious eggs were amongst other treats in a welcome hamper, the cats and lovable labrador Casper who brings his toys with him when he wants to play, this was the perfect get away. Wish we'd stayed longer.

We had a great week staying in Meadowsweet barn.

Fresh flowers and a welcome hamper provided with various food and drink goodies, including eggs from Denise and Tim’s hens. Enjoyed the hot tub with views down the valley and under the stars, and at the end of the week with snow on the ground. Plenty of places to visit and walk to, including down into the valley where the North York Moors steam railway runs in season. A great barn conversation, keeping some original features and very warm and cosy. We will definitely be back.

We all thoroughly enjoyed staying at Meadowsweet Cottage, luxouriously furnished and so warm and welcoming for our winter stay in February.

It's a wonderful rural location with expansive views over the Esk valley with plenty of wildlife including deer, owls, pheasants seen during our stay along with the owners family of rabbits, hens, ducks, cats and dog to keep us entertained during the stay too. It's a real gem of a cottage in a beautiful location and one not to be missed. Thanks once again for a most wonderful stay!

This is my second stay at the magnificent Meadowsweet - and I loved it as much as the first time!

Denise, Tim and family have created wonderful holiday accomodation - which is enhanced by Casper the dog, the cats, the chickens ("the girls"!) and the ducks. This is a holiday home for all seasons - whenever you stay you can enjoy the changing seasons all around you. I've already got my 2023 visit booked!

We had a great time staying at Meadowsweet, the location and views are super as was the property which was finished to a high standard.

The owners were very welcoming and quick to respond to messages. Would gladly stay here again in the future.

A lovely break away at a beautiful place.

Denise & Chris were so welcoming & very helpful. Meadowsweet is a renovated grain barn and it was just fab! Lovely seeing the chickens wandering round, alongside lots of pheasants and lovely Casper the dog and Gaz the cat! The driveway is quite lengthy with potholes as previous guests have also mentioned, and steep in places too, so just go very steady up & down. We also struggled to find the cottage via the directions, but stopped at Goathland post office who pointed us in the right direction (back to Goathland Church from the post office and then right at the mini roundabout past the Mallyan Spout Hotel and follow the road quite a good while, then Murkside Cottages eventually on your right, just past a forest). All in all a really lovely stay, the place was just beautiful (beds so comfy too!) and scenery was stunning, lovely to wake up to each morning and could see the steam train in the valley too at certain times of the day. We were also not far from a lovely little village called Egton which had a great little pub called The Witching Post Inn. We recommend! Thanks again for a lovely stay!

Denise , Tim and family made us feel very welcome they have worked so hard to make their dream become a reality.

The views from the patio (wow) and to see and hear the train more or less at the bottom of the field was fab . There is a track down to the accommodation which in time will need improving ( pot holes ) . lots of animals around , we saw deer, rabbits, sheep and grouse plus the very friendly cats and dog . All in all highly recommend this holiday cottage

In a word, Perfect.

Made us feel so welcome. Introduced us to all their animals. Beautiful countryside, peaceful atmosphere. Great for the soul. Stunning, cosy house, loved being surrounded by the many different sounds of the wildlife. Owners are so warming and friendly. Made us feel at home, left us gorgeous flowers in every room, fresh eggs from their own chickens and a tray of yummy treats. Had everything we needed. Short drive to the whitby beach. Big garden for the kids to play. Eldest two really enjoyed the hot tub. Couldnt have wished for a more peaceful setting for our much needed holiday. So many happy smiles. Cant thank Denise and her family enough for giving us such an amazing place to call home for the week and for all the wonderful memories we made.

A lovely cottage in the perfect location.

Very well-appointed and comfortable. It kept its rustic charms whilst still been modern in terms of appliances, facillities and features. The cottage's position overlooking the hillside and valley is used very advantageously in the design and it provides a wonderful backdrop both physically and as a view from the windows. We loved dining outside and overlooking these views. We had a couple of issues over patchy wi-fi connection, unavoidable I guess given the relative remoteness of the location, but they were always sorted quickly and without fuss and I suspect if we'd had any other issues that would've been the case also. The driveway is a little steep and difficult to negoiate in places and if you ever able to be in a position to change this I think it would serve the overall experience of the cottage well. One other thing that occured but didn't actually come into play whilst we were there, is the proximity of the two cottages on site to each other, with regards to privacy especially when outside. The other cottage was empty when we were there so it didn't apply, but we felt had it been occupied it would have prohibited us slightly in enjoying the outside and the garden as there was not enough of a fence seperating the two and not everybody is comfortable in sharing what is essentially a communal space with total strangers. We loved our stay at the cottage and can not speak highly enough of it.

What an amazing cottage in a superb, peaceful location.

Meadowsweet is everything it was promised to be and more. The views are stunning - it’s a challenge to pull yourself away from them each day! It’s very comfortable and everything is of quality, presented beautifully with extra little touches like a very generous welcome hamper and when we stayed, fresh flowers around the cottage. The hosts, Denise and family, are really lovely and friendly. The hens chortle nearby, the buzzards fly in clear sight and lambs baa in adjacent fields - it’s a little haven! I would highly recommend this cottage and it’s definitely one of the best we’ve stayed in. We’ll be back!

Very clean and comfortable property.

Beautifully decorated throughout but still feels like a home from home. Lots of little touches to make your stay even more enjoyable. The welcome hamper was full of delicious treats. Denise is a great host who is there if you need her but does not intrude. The views are stunning and the location is ideal to explore the coast and North York Moors.
