“What a lovely place to stay, stunning location, lovely cottage, friendly people and the most amazing pub literally round the corner, we loved it.”

- Alexander, August 2023
Stephen February 2023

“Wonderful cottage on the Egton Estate with Laura and Olly Foster as perfect hosts.”

Cosy and well equipped with the softest beds for a great nights sleep. Superb location for walking and no less than 4 pubs nearby at Egton Bridge and Egton. The Wheatsheaf at Egton is highly recommended with great new hosts that took over in late 2022. You wont be disappointed. God's country.

“This last minute break was a gem to find.”

Hosts Laura and Olly were so friendly and accommodating, they couldn’t do enough for us. The cottage was first class with everything you need and the bed was so comfortable I want one for home. Although just the 2 of us, along with Billy the Spaniel, there would be plenty of room for a family, with lots of outside space for any kids to explore and play. Location was great with 2 local pubs serving lovely meals, miles of country walks (although dogs must be kept on a lead at all times) on our doorstep and within easy travelling distance to the local areas such as Whitby, Scarborough etc. Anyone looking for a quiet beautiful base in the North Yorkshire moors area should definitely think about booking Manor Cottage. We loved every minute of our stay. Thank you Laura and Olly.

“We have just had a fantastic week staying at Manor Cottage which is located in the grounds of the Egton Estate.”

What an amazing find! Laura and Olly could not have been more helpful and welcoming and are amazing hosts. The location is perfect as it’s tucked away on a small private path with miles of lovely walks right from your doorstep. The cottage is beautiful and obviously well loved. The living room is cosy and has a log burner for the winter months. The village has two really nice pubs within walking distance who both serve excellent food. The local train station is literally two minutes away where you can catch the train to Whitby. You can also take a stroll to Grosmont and catch the steam train to Pickering, which is like stepping back in time. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommended it to anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing stay in beautiful surroundings.

“A lovely house in a fabulous location.”

Great to be near a railway station and within walking distance of Grosmont. The local pubs were great - excellent food and friendly people.

“Amazing, magical space, enjoyed spending quality time there.”

Ann October 2021

“Manor Cottage is a lovely place to stay in the beautiful grounds of the property of the owners Olly and Laura, who couldn't have been more helpful.”

The beds were wonderfully comfortable and there was endless piping hot water, a spacious living room and small kitchen - ideal for a family of 5 (and a dog) with a quiet lane alongside the property to walk to the nearest village.

“The photographs on the website don't quite do justice to this property in that the main reception room is better than shown on the website and the setting at Egton Manor is not really shown.”

- Stuart, September 2021

“The owners were lovely and very helpful if you needed any info on what to do ,where to go and good places to eat”

“We’ve had a great relaxing holiday staying at Manor Cottage.”

The property was very nice and whilst secluded was also very close to two fantastic pubs with amazing food and also the local train station where you can catch the train to Whitby. There are loads of family friendly walks around the area and the hosts were very friendly, especially their three young lads who ours really enjoyed playing football with. Would definitely recommend this as a great family break.

Patricia July 2021

“Fantastic cottage and Laura the host was so accommodating and helping throughout our stay.”

The location and grounds are idillic. Bedrooms and bathroom fantastic. Sitting room excellent. Kitchen area brilliant - only comment would be to upgrade to the saucepans as they had loose handles and were not very non- stick anymore. We self catered and so.made good used of all facilities in kitchen. A nice touch would be to also have a bread bin to keep bread fresher during the week.

- Patricia, July 2021
Angela June 2021

“The cottage was so charming—very comfortable and even larger than it appeared in the pictures.”

The owners were lovely people, welcoming but never intrusive. The location was the perfect combination of private, tucked away on a small path with walking trails, but part of the village and walking distance to two very nice pubs. We’ll definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!

- Angela, June 2021

“The cottage was lovely snd the location/grounds are very special.”

Ideally situated close to local attractions and great walks from the door. Lovely village pubs close by. One of the nicest places we have stayed.

“Excellent and cosy cottage on a beautiful estate bordering the Esk.”

Owners delightful and on hand as necessary for any issues arising. Superb local walks and pubs. Highly recommended.

Liz October 2020

“Great location and property of a good size.”

Nice to have pubs within walking distance and easy access to Whitby and the moors. Had expected the furnishings to be to a higher standard - usually stay in National Trust or Rural Retreats cottages which are more like a home from home. Could have done with more crockery and glasses in the kitchen.

- Liz, October 2020
Sophie October 2020

“After a few stressful weeks leading up to our week away, this cottage and the surrounding area was exactly what we needed.”

The cottage is wonderful, and much bigger than the pictures would suggest. The location was perfect for us too. As a family with small children we were able to do small walks from the doorstep or take a stroll to Grosmont to catch the steam train. Laura, Olly and their lovely children were so welcoming and kind, always there if we needed anything. We definitely intend to return, there’s so much to do there that we felt we barely scratched the surface, and the cottage is a perfect home for us while we explore.

- Sophie, October 2020

“Very convenient spot for a holiday on the edge of Egton village (home to two lovely pubs and a train station) - good walks from house to nearby villages such as Grosmont (steam train, village shop, cafes, gallery).”

The cottage itself is very spacious and comfortable - made even more cosy by an easy to use log burning stove in the sitting room and an ample supply of seasoned logs. Charming and helpful hosts live in the adjacent manor house and supplied us with some great DVDs. It was really peaceful - no road noise which is very important for me and you could hear owls calling in the morning. Also beautiful starry skies as there's no light pollution there. Couple of downsides - no washing machine (unless we just couldn't find it) and it was a VERY muddy week with a lot of rain. The kitchen is large but could have been better equipped it was adequate but if you are going to be cooking up a storm every night (that was not us) then you might want to check what's available at the house in case you need to bring anything to supplement what's provided. Having said that the kitchen actually had sharp knives which is very welcome in a holiday let. If you are someone who likes a very well lit place the cottage looks out on the back to woodland so its dappled light and at the front is in a courtyard with a building in front so its not as well lit as some places I've stayed in - this being more noticeable of course in autumn/winter. There is an area at the front with a table, chairs and BBQ which will be lovely in spring/summer and early autumn but there isn't a garden sort of area you can sit in. Having said all this the pluses definitely outweigh the negatives in particular being able to walk out of the front door straight onto footpaths was just perfect and having excellent heating/ endless hot water, a really comfortable sitting room and lovely large bathroom. The local pubs are very good and its a short drive to Whitby (loved the abbey), Robin Hoods Bay (fabulous beach). We also went to Staithes, Richmond and Saltburn (good farmers market and beautiful beach).

“Beautiful cottage in an equally beautiful setting.”

A great location for exploring the area. The hosts at the property were so welcoming. Even our dog was made to feel so welcome. The cottage is well equipped clean and plenty of hot water! Thank you we will return!

- Alison, September 2020
Julie August 2020

“What a beautiful place to spend a holiday.”

The photographs of the cottage don’t do it justice. A delightful spot, completely relaxing setting and a real sense of getting away from it all. Just the right amount of contact from the owners who gave us all the help we needed.

- Julie, August 2020
Richard August 2020

“We had a fabulous time in this wonderful cottage, situated in such a beautiful location.”

The owners were on hand to ensure that everything was fine throughout our stay and were very helpful in pointing us in the direction of things our 4 year old would enjoy. The owners went above and beyond and we felt very well looked after.

- Richard, August 2020
Emma July 2020

“Beautiful cottage in an absolutely gorgeous setting.”

The hosts were fantastic, always on hand if we needed anything and very helpful and approachable. The cottage is stunning and very comfortable with everything we needed and set in a quiet pretty village but not too far away from local attractions, great if you want to escape to a more quiet and peaceful place. Beautiful local walks in the country and some great pubs all within walking distance, would definitely stay again. Thanks for a lovely time.

- Emma, July 2020
Samantha March 2020

“Had a lovely time at the Manor Cottage.”

The location is excellent. Great walks straight from the door with local pubs serving great home cooked food. The cottage is comfy and homely. It has all the facilities you need for self catering and the little welcome pack including fresh milk, butter, bread, tea, coffee is a nice touch. Hosts are friendly and welcoming and are on hand if needed. We would definitely stay again and recommend.

“We were very charmed by Manor Cottage and Mr and Mrs Foster.”

The setting was beautiful, the cottage was beautiful and they made us very welcome. My only reservation about giving such high, but truthful praise is that the cottage may not be available when we try to return.

- Kate, December 2019
Valerie December 2019

“Perfect holiday for us and our dog.”

Wonderful cottage and grounds.owners are fabulous. Although the village is small and and not a lot of amenities it does have two of the best pubs around the area which serve fantastic Food..The Postgate pub is just a four minute walk from our cottage. What Egton does have is a small train station, right next to the Postgate pub ,perfect for getting into Whitby as parking can be difficult in high season and if you fancy a meal and a drink you don’t have to worry about driving .(cannot hear the trains from the cottage by the way) Great walks from the doorstep of the cottage and I just can’t recommend Manor Cottage enough 5⭐️

“We wanted a quiet, cosy and charming place for Christmas and we weren't disappointed.”

We were made very welcome and the cottage easily accommodated our three families in comfort. There's a beautiful log burner in the main living room but to be honest you could just live with the central heating which was more than adequate for the Cottage. Beds were comfortable and the bathroom had amble hot water for much needed showers after a brisk walk in the country. Egton village is well served by both the National Railways and also the North Yorkshire moors railway. If you fancy a walking holiday just hop on a train then hop off at the next stop and walk back ... perfect. Whitby, Pickering and of course Gothland are within easy reach by car or by train. Egton also has a good choice of village pubs (turn right at the top of the cottage and one pub is 50 meters up the road ... what more can you ask for?). The other pubs, further up the hill and in the village, offer a handsome choice of pub meals to a high standard as well as a good selection of local beers !! Watch out for the owners dog ... once you start making a fuss and start stroking it ... it'll sit there for hours lapping up every bit of affection you can give it. The perfect addition to a country house. The Cottage is well situated geographically and offers an uncluttered escape to country with warmth and comfort. Book soon ... we're planning our next visit already. We couldn't fault it. Enjoy.

“We were absolutely delighted with Manor cottage, which was very well equipped, and in the most idyllic location.”

The owners Mr and Mrs Foster were the perfect hosts, they greeted us on our arrival but then left us to enjoy our holiday. My husband is a heritage builder so he loves to stay in cottages which have lots of character and original features . We chose to stay at Egton bridge as we like to dine out and as we have ate at The Wheatsheaf and The Post Gate many times before ,we decided to book Manor cottage as it was near our favourite places to eat , rather than in Whitby where we have stayed for the last 25 years. We also enjoy to walk and there was lots of places to do so right on our doorstop. Also Manor cottage allowed dogs which was very important to us because we like to bring our dog on holiday with us. We will most certainly be booking again to stay at Manor cottage and we will be booking through Yorkshire Coastal Cottages as we could not fault your company in any way. All of your staff were extremely helpful and gave a true and honest description of Manor Cottage so there was no nasty surprises on our arrival.
