“It was a lovely spacious cottage and the boys ( Flint and Jack) loved the garden.”

Nice and quiet but close to Kirbymoorside to get provisions. Would recommend.

“We stayed at Grouse as a party of 3 adults and 2 dogs.”

Friendly welcome from the owners. Lovely cottage, everything we needed for our stay. Home made cake for us and treats for the dogs were a nice touch. Large secure garden for the dogs. Lovely walks from the doorstep. Overall a great weekend and would definitely return.

Geoffrey October 2023

“The property was very nice and comfortable to a point our only complaint was that the easy chairs and settee where toolow and difficult to get out ,maybe its just that we are old and have creaky joints.”

- Geoffrey, October 2023

You may have been more comfortable in out accessible cottage, as we did note some mobility issues in your party. The furniture is standard height and has never been a problem, but may be different from what you are used to at home. Property Owner

“A lot of thought has gone into making this cottage welcoming and comfortable.”

Pauline June 2023

“Grouse Cottage is a fantastic place to stay the owners are on site if you require anything but not intrusive.”

It is a very peaceful place with a lovely enclosed garden for our dog to roam around in with no escape ! . Milk and cake on arrival was much appreciated , and the beds are very comfy. The cottage is well placed to visit surrounding areas . We would definitely try and stay again if in that part of the country. 10 out of 10 Patrick and Tracey .

Geraldine April 2023

“Hosts were very welcoming and friendly.”

Cottage ideal for location, very dog friendly and comfortable. Secure back garden for dogs. Fully equipped and everything you needed Tracey left us a beautiful homemade cake and milk in fridge. Would definitely recommend and hopefully will return.

“Thank you for a lovely stay at Grouse Cottage.”

We had a great time and loved the ease and simplicity of the place and surroundings. A great place to get away from it all.

Heleen November 2021

“A larger, more visible sign outside would be useful as it was a bit hard to find it the dark.”

Very well equipped and the hospitality very welcoming. We loved the fruitcake, dog friendliness, little dishwasher and recycling options. Very quiet location and comfy bed. The only thing was that the shower head would not stay up whilst showering and it ultimately sprang apart in the middle of the night (we and dog were indeed very alarmed by the noise!).

- Heleen, November 2021

Thanks for your feedback. I'm so sorry you had trouble finding us - it's really very straight forward and nobody has previously had a problem. I'll certainly double check the directions now that you've pointed this out. However, we don't want to litter our beautiful surroundings with big neon signs. And if only you had told us about the shower before you left - inevitably some things will break but we keep spares for every eventuality and could have replaced the errant shower slider bracket straight away. All fixed now. Do come and see us again now you know where we are. Property Owner

“Lovely relaxing break, cottage well presented, lots of lovely thoughtful extras, milk in the fridge, home baked cake, dog treats, dog towels and throws.”

Enclosed garden to let our dogs wander in, giving peace of mind. We will return and hopefully there will be no rain.

- Wendy, November 2019
Jenny May 2019

“Well presented, comfortable, fully equipped holiday cottage to a high standard.”

Private garden with patio and BBQ. Owners very helpful and friendly. Excellent that dogs are allowed. Plenty of walks from the door. Great location quiet and peaceful but with easy access to moors, woodland walks, towns, historic properties and the beautiful coast. Our second visit, will return and highly recommend.

- Jenny, May 2019
Melanie March 2019

“Wonderful hosts helpful and kind.”

The lemon cake and milk in the fridge very thoughtful along with tea and coffee. Super location a very comfortable very clean high standard accommodation. I would not hesitate to recommend this lovely holiday cottage to friends and family, with or without pets.

Alan March 2019

“Very nice cottage, owners friendly and helpful.”

The cottage was very well equipped with all we would need, very high standard. Very good location for the places we wanted to visit. Our dog was fully catered for with biscuits and blankets, and the welcome sponge and other bits were a nice surprise. Safe enclosed garden for our dog to run in. The cottage lacked for nothing and was very homely. Would definitely recommend.

Gillian February 2019

“Tracy was really welcoming and her flapjacks are to die for.”

Grouse cottage is lovely and very comfortable. It is in a great location, really quiet and peaceful, yet I didn't feel at all nervous, being on my own with just my dog, and he was very happy and relaxed too.

- Gillian, February 2019
Laurence November 2018

“The owners were very helpful and the cottage was very clean and well equipped.”

It was a lovely to arrive to find a cake and milk in the fridge. Have no hesitation in recommending Grouse cottage. A great base to explore the North Yorkshire Moors and perfect for dogs.

- Laurence, November 2018
Tony September 2018

“Lovely cottage with a nice welcome from Tracy complete with a fresh baked Victoria sponge.”

Cottage was excellently equipt to a very high standard the garden was lovely and well secured if you have small dogs. Under floor heating kept the cottage at a good temperature but the wood burner was lovely in the evenings. The cottage is a good base for visiting North Yorkshire as Whitby, Scarbough, Bridlington and the North Yorkshire Moors Visitors Centre all within 30 miles. The North Yorkshire Railway at Pickering to Whitby is a must stopping at Goathland (Heartbeat) country. Overall we had a fantastic holiday and we can’t fault the cottage or the location in the slightest. Highly recommended.

- Tony, September 2018
Jenny September 2018

“Great location for exploring the coast, moors and market towns.”

Owner of holiday cottage very friendly and helpful.

- Jenny, September 2018
Paula August 2018

“Cottage is out of the way but not so far you feel you have to travel miles out of your way.”

It makes it very quiet. Exactly what we want. The small town is only a five to 10 min drive and has three pubs, and a few takeaways depending on what you want and a small co-op. The nearest towns (Pickering or Hemsley) are lovely to have a look round and Thirsk has everything you could want. We have come here two years in a row now and it recharges our batteries! We look forward to going again in the future.

- Paula, August 2018
Mike July 2018

“The cottage was well equipped and beautiful throughout.”

However one small snag was not being allowed to leave our dogs to go out for a meal or to the pub in the evening. Made it very limiting. But the cottage and its location were excellent.

- Mike, July 2018

Thank you for your comments. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and found the property excellent. In relation to being able to leave dogs unattended, as per our terms and conditions this is not possible. The property is very dog friendly and the owner provides information in the property on dog friendly eateries nearby. Property Owner

Ronald May 2018

“Staff who were contacted prior to booking were helpful and efficient.”

The cottage itself is superb. Very comfortable and well equipped. Very dog friendly too - dog bowl for water was provided as was a jar full of dog biscuits (and flapjacks for us!) but in addiaion tyhe owner offered us the use of dog throws that were put on the furniture to allow the dogs to sit by us.

The excellent walking and magnificent scenery of the National Park are close by, as are the picturesque villages of Hutton-le-Hole and Lastingham.
