Steve “We spent a lovely, quiet, 3 days at Derwent House Farm using it as a base for visiting friends from Scarborough and Pickering.”
Despite being 'dog friendly', the cottage was warm and clean with no wet dog smells! Would recommend to friends and family.

Tracey “We booked a last minute break to Derwent House Farm to avoid New Years fireworks that our little dog Eddie does not like.”
Derwent House Farm was perfect. We had a peaceful and comfortable break. The cottage was clean and well equipped and Eddie loved a run around in the paddock. Kate was friendly and welcoming and ensured we were happy with everything. We would happily return in the future.

Karl “We had a brilliant time in Derwent house farm.”
When we pulled up we thought it looked small, but after unpacking we realised we had everything we needed, the well kept secure paddock was a bonus for our dog. The barn was really clean and comfortable and in a good area to visit Yorkshire. There was sky tv but no WiFi which we thought was great to relax and unwind. Cooking facilities were fine with table top oven and hot plates, we cooked most days and found them easy to use. We will definitely return as we loved it..
- Karl, September 2024Hi thankyou so much for the positive feedback you are very kind it was lovely to meet you xx Property Owner
Darren “Lovely, quiet, clean cottage , our small dog enjoyed the large well maintained enclosed area , we felt nice and safe for her to be running around such a large area exploring whilst we sat in the sunshine.”
The cottage is situated in a very peaceful area to get away from the busy coastal areas yet in a great place to visit lots of different places , some great pubs locally , we tried the Providence Inn where we had a great value meal and nice ales. Will definitely visit again.

David “Just returned from our second visit to this lovely quiet cottage set in open countryside just outside Malton.”
Perfect for a couple and dog, our Labrador would have spent the whole week in the huge, well kept, paddock if we had let him, but we managed to drag him to the beaches at Whitby, Scarborough, Filey and Bridlington too (numerous other places of interest also nearby!). Thanks again to Kate, the owner, for a warm and friendly welcome. Hope to see you again in the not too distant future.

The property was fresh, warm and clean and had everything we needed including the large paddock, which provided freedom for our dog to run around, she loved it. A very peaceful and quiet location and perfect for visiting the coast, market towns and of course the moors. Our host Kate could not do enough for us and made us feel very welcome.

Terry “Kate is the perfect host and the cottage was exactly as described.”
We loved watching the wildlife, a pair of hares playing in the farmyard, right outside the cottage, a pied wagtail stood on the doorframe looking in. There was also a partridge that seems to think that he or she is a pigeon; 2 hens that would come inside if the door was open....... A great location and so peaceful, we will be back. Many thanks.
- Terry, June 2023Thankyou your very kind I'm so happy you enjoyed your stay and the wildlife the hens are missing you !! Property Owner
Thomas “Excellent cottage with a lovely lady owner Ann.”
It is 3miles from the main road and very quiet and peaceful with only birdsong to listen to also a large secure paddock for your dog to exercise in. The cottage itself is very comfortable and cosy and the lack of wi-fi did not bother us. We hope to go back in the future. Tom,Joan & Fagin the Chihuahua1
- Thomas, May 2023Hi thankyou very much for your kind feedback It was lovely to meet you and I am so pleased everything was ok for you. Kate xx(Ann is a lovely name but not mine !!!!) Property Owner
David “Lovely cottage in very quiet location, but ideally situated for access to the coast and numerous other places of interest.”
As a motoring enthusiast I couldn’t resist a visit to Mathewson’s Garage (of Bangers & Cash fame), which is only a few minutes away in the picturesque village of Thornton le Dale. The property has everything that you might need for a relaxing break and is perfect for dog owners. The owner, Kate, made sure that we were completely comfortable and was a pleasure to meet. Highly recommended! We hope to return soon.

Denise “A lovely warm, cosy & peaceful Christmas.”
Nice and quiet. Situated far enough from the main road to be able to enjoy the wildlife. Having the space in the large paddock to let our dog roam free was fabulous and Kate is a lovely host. Look out tor the hare, kestrel & barn owl!

Brian “The property was perfect in every way.”
We would recommend the cottage and it’s faculties. A beautiful cottage for couples, particularly dog owners. The paddock to exercise your dog is just perfect, a large grassy fenced in dog friendly area at the rear of the property. We certainly recommend Derwent Farm Cottage.
- Brian, August 2022hi thankyou Brian for your kind review im so pleased you enjoyed your stay xx Property Owner
Georgina “We had such a great stay, honestly just what we needed!”
We were greeted with the lovely Kate when we arrived and left us to our weekend to enjoy, but was also on the phone if we needed anything. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind with our dog who really enjoyed the secure paddock and the peacefulness as I’m always training him in busy places, so I think he needed it just as much as we did. We did however have some time at the beach and just felt like we were abroad. We ended up sitting in the sun enjoying the sounds of wildlife in the paddock and couldn’t be more relaxed if we tried! The cottage itself was nice and cosy and had basically everything we needed for a short stay. We’ve been recommending it to everyone we know and will definitely be back. Thank you so much!! Xx
- Georgina, August 2022thankyou so much for your very kind review i am so pleased it was everything you hoped it would be and it is lovely when we meet such lovely people who appreciate the cottage and its surroundings .xxx Property Owner
James John “Derwent House is in a beautiful tranquil location with a large secure paddock perfect to excercise your dog or just to relax.”
The property is well placed to explore North Yorks or further and is well equiped and comfortable.The thing i love about this property is that it is real and not corporate and antiseptic like some places and holiday parks i,ve stayed in.All credit to Kate and Steve the friendly and charming owners.
- James John, July 2022Hi thankyou both for your kind words it's always a pleasure to have you to stay xxx Property Owner
Louise “Very peaceful location with just the birds and lambs for company.”
Coastliner 840 scenic bus route passes the end of the lane for car-free access to Pickering, Goathland and Whitby over the North York Moors. Comfy cottage and loungers in the sunny mown paddock to return to at the end of the day. We couldn't have asked for more!

Josephine “Our second time here.”
Had a lovely relaxing week and the weather was glorious. Our greyhound loves the paddock as did we to relax in the sun. Great location and 30 mins drive to the coast. Kate checked in us to make sure everything was ok which it was. Lovely barn with everything we needed, we will be returning.

Jason “Derwent House Farm was perfect for our needs.”
The location is ideal if you are looking for peace, quiet and a good base if you are exploring the area. The private paddock was a godsend for our six month old spaniel and a very relaxing place just to sit and unwind. Kate, the host, is an absolute star and could not be more helpful; we were made very welcome. The cottage itself is warm, very clean, comfortable and has everything you need to make you feel at home. Thanks for all your help and hard work Kate; we’ll be visiting again.
- Jason, May 2022Thankyou so much for your feedback which is very welcome.I. am so pleased you enjoyed your stay and it is lovely to meet such kind people .Stay safe Kate xx Property Owner
Barbara “I found the cottage had very basic facilities.”
There was no hob/oven but a unit on top of the work space with two hot rings. The rings were then at shoulder height making it too dangerous to use. I realise it was out in the countryside but there were so many beetles in side. I bought some insect killer but they continued to come in. I cut my stay short and went to a hotel
- Barbara, May 2022Thank you for your feedback. The description clearly describes the facilities at the cottage and there is also a separate hob.If you had brought the issues to my attention I could have rectified this for you.This is is the first time this has happened and someone has been in to check this out and it is partly due to the warm weather followed by rain and the countryside location.The issue has now been resolved by a qualified expert in this field. It is sad that you had to write this and not notify me whilst you were there.I do my best to ensure guests have the best holiday. Property Owner
Sally “Really lovely place to stay, clean and well looked after.”
The paddock is a brilliant idea , we and our dog enjoyed it immensely.The whole place just made the holiday more enjoyable. Kate the owner is lovely , made sure we settled in OK and knew she was available if we needed her. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing base for their holiday. Sally.

Peter “We had an amazing week at Derwent House Farm.”
The property is set along a country road and in the middle of nowhere, which is perfect for a quiet retreat. There are local towns within a short drive away which have an excellent selection of shops. The cottage is toasty warm with good facilities. The bed is very comfortable, the shower is excellent and the kitchen facilities ideal. The paddock for our dog was huge and he absolutely loved it. The owner checked we'd arrived OK and that we had everything we needed. We would highly recommend this property and will definitely be back.

This cottage is very cosy quite and peaceful the paddock was great for our dog Kate was a lovely lady there uf we needed her
- Lynda, December 2021Thankyou for coming and for your kind feedback x Property Owner
Claire “The cottage was perfect, cosy and well equipped for a holiday stay.”
The combi boiler meant instant hot water without having to work anything out and the shower was excellent (I have longish hair and sometimes showers just don't work). Instruction manuals were in place for all the kitchen equipment. Fantastic location for trips out to the moors or the coast, although, at night, the entrance from the A170 Pickering - Malton road took some finding - at first. Plenty of wildlife (hares, lapwings) and truly dark skies for star gazing. Kate was on hand if we needed anything (which we didn't) but otherwise we were left to enjoy our stay in complete peace. We, and our german shepherd, Genna, had a lovely time. Would highly recommend.
- Claire, November 2021Thankyou for your kind review x Property Owner
Terry “Lovely place to stay.”
We will return
- Terry, November 2021Rita “Lovely cottage in a lovely setting.”

- Rosemary, July 2021Josephine “We had such a lovely peaceful break.”
Just wasn’t long enough for us. The barn was lovely and clean. The paddock for the dog was brilliant and our greyhound loved it. Fantastic location to get to the coast. We went to Filey and Pickering and both lovely and in easy reach. We will definitely be booking again.
- Josephine, June 2021Denyse “The owner a very nice lady couldn’t do enough for us”
- Denyse, May 2021Mark “We had a wonderful weekend at Derwent House Farm.”
The cottage is exactly as described, well equipped comfortable and clean. The location is excellent - close to both Malton and Pickering, and within easy range of the coast and many North Yorkshire attractions. The added bonus of the pasture for dogs is just “icing on the cake”! Kate was extremely welcoming and helpful, there when needed. We would highly recommend this cottage, and hope to return again. Mark and Jayne - Nottingham
- Mark, April 2021Keith “Really lovely cottage for a couple & 'pet friendly' if you have dogs too.”
Kate is extremely helpful & although our visit was cut short by the new Government COVID restrictions we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. There is no wi-fi at the cottage but we checked the network coverage at the cottage before leaving home, which was good 4G, so we bought a dongle & data sim for our own portable wi-fi. This worked fine. Great to sit & observe some of the local wildlife. Very entertaining. May well book this cottage again at some point. Great base for exploring the area.
- Keith, October 2020Lynn “We stayed at Derwent Farm for 5 nights.”
This cottage is amazing in the most peaceful and tranquil location it’s got everything you want and need. It was spotless, warm and cosy. It may not have a full size oven ( which we were aware of after reading the cottage description) but the mini oven with hobs along with the George Foreman etc was more than adequate. The fully enclosed paddock was perfect for a 6 month old cockapoo and just being able to open the cottage door and knowing she was safe made the holiday so much more relaxing. In these Covid times we felt very safe! Thank you Kate Can’t think of anything this cottage is missing. Keep it just as it is
- Lynn, October 2020Howard “We were generally happy with our stay at Derwent House Farm.”
A few changes would make the cottage a better prospect. 1) The information describes the cottage as having a well equipeed kitchen, but the cottage does not have a proper oven/hob/grill. The compact worktop oven in the cottage is not ideal. 2) The oil fired heater, which is sited under the worktop, is massively over-powered for the needs of the cottage. We were almost too warm, despite the cool weather, even though we turned the thermostat right down. Running the hot tap or taking a shower generated a lot of heat directly from the oil burner itself. The burner would be far better situated outside the cottage, perhaps in a small lean-to. This would also cut down the noise generated by the burner, which could easily heat a barn. 3) A small but important point, the fridge, (which looked very new), makes a very annoying noise, a pure tone, which is impossible to escape and became nauseating after a time. I have no sulution to offer in this case.
- Howard, October 2020Thank you for your feedback. We are happy that you enjoyed your stay at Derwent House Farm. We have taken your comments on board. Previous guests have not mentioned the cooking facilities. There is adequate cooking facilities in the property including a grill. We were told to put that type of boiler in the property. This meets building regulations for an old barn. Unfortunately there is little we can do when it comes to the noise but it usually happened when it try's to cool down if not stocked. Thank you and we hope to welcome you back soon. Property Owner
Chris “My partner and I, our 1 year old daughter and Cockerpoo have just returned home following a week at the cottage.”

The property was really comfortable and warm The host was very pleasant and helpful It was very easy to get around not very far away from any location we both enjoyed our holiday
- Garth, September 2020Emma “Had a fantastic short break.”
Kate's holiday cottage is exceptional and Doris Dog loved the paddock. The area is so peacefully quiet, yet you're in a great accessible location. I highly recommend this property. We will definitely return if we're in the area again. Could've stayed so much longer, and Doris certainly agreed ☺️
- Emma, August 2020Gillian “What a wonderfully peaceful location.”
Cottage was beyond our expectations with lots of little extras. The paddock for our dog was perfect, we loved the tranquility of it and had a couple of picnics. Kate was very welcoming and went above and beyond. Thank you
- Gillian, August 2020Claire “The place at Derwent Farm was fabulous.”
It was the most peaceful place I have ever stayed - you could hear the insects buzzing. Even the neighbours (sheep) were quiet. It was an amazing find. It was very clean and covid safe. The owners were at hand for any help we needed and gave a great recommendation for the local pub. Will definitely come back.
- Claire, July 2020Kim “Great for a blissfully peaceful break.”
- Kim, July 2020Ben “Lovely little cottage in an idyllic location.”
Owner couldn't have been more helpful checking us in and making sure we had a good time. The cottage isn't too far from any amenities, with a lovely (dog friendly) pub down the road serving really good food. Plenty of shopping in the adjacent villages not too far away. The paddock at the rear for the dog is great and our Labrador loved bounding round exploring! Yes, it only has a mini oven and two hobs, but that was plenty for us! Looking forward to returning in future!
- Ben, March 2020Eddie “Comfortable cottage in a scenic and peaceful location.”
Kate was very helpful and concerned that we had everything we needed. Adjoining paddock ideal to exercise our dog. Couldn't ask for anything more for a relaxing holiday.
- Eddie, February 2020Heidi “Kate is a lovely host and made us very welcome.”
The cottage was clean, well kept and we were well provided for. Plenty of towels, tea and coffee were an added welcome extra too. The cottage is situated in an ideal place; it is on the top of a hill; providing a quiet and peaceful break, with stunning landscape to view from the windows and lovely walks. Would definitely book again. :)
- Heidi, February 2020Thankyou for taking the time to review Derwent House. The cottage is not on a hill but 3.5 miles down a lane off a main road which gives it a really peaceful location. Kind regards, Property Owner
Ian “It was very comfortable and the owner was most helpful.”
It was every thing we expected, and in the ideal spot for traveling the local area. And wonderful for the dog.
- Ian, November 2019Belinda “Wonderful location and great for dog”
- Belinda, November 2019Wendy “Beautiful dog friendly accommodation in a tranquil location.”
A comfortable retreat in close proximity to Malton and Pickering, Derwent House is ideally located to explore many interesting towns and villages. The property has excellent facilities including a large shower and a very comfortable bed. The paddock was also excellent for exercising our dog. The owners were friendly, welcoming and informative. We came home (reluctantly) after a wonderful break and plan to return soon. Thank you Kate x
- Wendy, November 2019Jo “Had a fabulous 3 days here with my daughter and year old puppy.”
The cottage is warm and cosy with everything you need for a “get away from it all” break. Beautifully clean, lovely big shower and a very comfortable bed. The paddock was fantastic for my pup, she could not wait to get out there each morning! Kate was so welcoming and friendly and could not have done any more for us. Would definitely recommend and we will be back as soon as we can.
- Jo, October 2019Joanna “The bed is very uncomfortable so uncomfortable you couldn’t sleep all night on ...”
The bed is very uncomfortable so uncomfortable you couldn’t sleep all night on it disappointed with the cooker only one source been without a lid no I will cooking facilities to cope with television is rubbish sitting looking out the window to a terrible black building book to be a working farm I would never returned to it I wouldn’t very comfortable with it looking at the advert the cottage looks very nice
- Joanna, October 2019Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry you did not find the bed comfortable, the bed and mattress topper were both bought new in April and this is the first time any one has mentioned they did not find it comfortable. We cannot do anything about the Shed however the property has wonderful views on 3 sides. It is advised in the description that the television is freeview and the property has a mini oven. We often receive 100% feedback and I am sorry that the property fell short of your expectation. Kind regards Property Owner

- George, September 2019Paul “Our holiday was most enjoyable the facilities were excellent the setting quiet ...”
Our holiday was most enjoyable the facilities were excellent the setting quiet and rural in its setting also the paddock set aside for our dog run around was brilliant ideal for anyone wanting a relaxing break
- Paul, August 2019Karen “We had a very quiet, relaxing, comfortable holiday at Derwent House Farm.”
The cottage was spacious, very clean, had all the amenities you could ask for & the paddock you could solely use to exercise your dog gets a massive thumbs & paws up from us all. The owner Kate could not do enough for you. Will definitely be back again, thanks Kate for a wonderful holiday.
- Karen, August 2019Susan “Lovely lady owner whom did everything to make us welcome.”
- Susan, July 2019G “We had a great week at Dewent House Farm and were especially impressed by the owners desire to make sure we had an enjoyable time.”
The location was perfect and had privacy but help near by if we needed it. The adjacent paddock was ideal for peaceful sit, especially in the evening - we could only hear bird song. Next time we will bring the dog! The house worked well for my wife as she has limited mobility, but could maybe have a grab rail in the shower. A couple of extras such as an iron/ironing board, chair in the bedroom, some hooks to hang coats etc and a little more crockery/glasses would make the holiday home perfect. Once again the owner was more than willing to hear any suggetions. We really do look forward to returning to such a lovely part of the world and such a warm welcome.
- G, June 2019John “We required a thorough rest and escape from our home renovations.”
The cottage holiday certainly allowed us peace and quiet in a relaxed farm environment with our dog. The facilities were excellent ... all we required. The location perfect ... short drives to pubs, country towns, places of interest and the coast. The hosts were helpful and there to assist when required. This probably was our most relaxing holiday in memory and would highly recommend a stay! We certainly will be considering re-booking. The initial choice of location and booking was relatively easy and we gained reminders and support from Sykes throughout the process. We were impressed!
- John, May 2019Mark “This cottage is ideally located to serve as a base to explore the North Yorks Moors, Scarborough, Robin Hood's Bay, Whitby, and York.”
It is close to Malton and Pickering too. We loved the location and the cottage and the owners were really helpful and polite. The cottage is so peaceful, and we had a fantastic restful time. The cottage also features a private paddock which was wonderful for our dog too. We will definitely be booking a stay again. Thank you so much!
