Tawny Cottage

We enjoyed the peaceful and quiet location of the cottage – it’s in a lovely setting that made for a relaxing break.

The hot tub and patio area were definite highlights and provided a great space to unwind. That said, the property itself felt quite basic, particularly in terms of the kitchen setup. A few more pans and essentials like foil, kitchen roll, or access to a mop and hoover would have been useful, especially after days out at the beach. While the property was generally tidy, the level of cleanliness didn’t quite meet the standard I’ve experienced at other dog-friendly accommodations. Areas like the stairs and carpets (both downstairs and upstairs) appeared not to have been hoovered, and some drawers in the kitchen and bedroom could have been cleaner. The bed was also uncomfortable on one side, as it felt like the springs had gone, and the mattress protector would benefit from a proper clean. Overall, it’s a decent place in a beautiful location, but with a bit more attention to detail and better equipment, it could offer a much more comfortable and enjoyable stay.

This is everything you could hope for quiet and peaceful and such a beautiful place to be.

Lovely clean cottage.

Location great for driving to Scarborough, Whitby, & Filey. Hot tub was a real luxury

Second visit of the year we will be back but would like accommodation on one level

Lovely cottage really clean and the hot tub made it a bit more special.

We will definitely be back.

Beautifully presented and well equipped cottage for two people in a peaceful location, but close to Scarborough town centre and a short drive to Whitby and other attractions.

The hot tub was a huge bonus and we used it almost every day. We took a taxi into Scarborough on the Saturday (Boro Cars, £12 each way) but there was parking in the town during the week. Used Whitby Park and Ride as the place was packed. Would highly recommend Tawny Cottage or any of the other cottages at Riggs Head.

Had a beautiful time away for my partners birthday, we loved the area.

Was like a home from home ❤️

Lovely cottage, beautiful views and placed for Scarborough, Bridlington, Filey and Whitby.

We went Friday to Friday and thought the price was very reasonable. Hot Tub was fun. Log burner was lovely (we had to buy matches which we found odd as all the other items were there - logs, firelighters).Will definitely return. Thanks again xx

Lovely clean and comfortable cottage.

would definitely recommend and will definitely be returning. Perfect peaceful location with easy access to the coast for some stunning walks.

Can’t recommend Riggs Head Farm enough!

Especially Tawny Cottage! We stayed for 4 nights in September and it was amazing. The facilities are brilliant, literally everything you would need and although we didn’t need anything else, no doubt it wouldn’t have been a problem at all to ask for anything. The cottage itself is gorgeous! Clean, modern, spacious and the bed gave me the best nights sleep I’d had in months, so comfy. Perfect for couples. The log burner was lovely as well as it was starting to get a little bit chilly. Hot tub was 100% a bonus as well. Lots of nice restaurants, pubs, walks, shops etc nearby and there’s even a book with some suggestions if you’re stuck! We will 100% be back soon for another amazing holiday❤️

The cottage was good for two people hot tub great plenty of places to visit but the mattress on the bed was very uncomfortable and sofa same when dogs are allowed in property a leather sofa would be better so it could be wiped down not that we allowed our dogs on there but maybe others had .

Also as the weather was mixed a mop and bucket to wash floors at the end of our stay the floor was dirty .

Lovely cottage in a beautiful setting.

Comfortable and very clean. All you could need is provided. Close to amenities and other resorts. Lovely hot tub ! I would totally recommend this property and would visit again.

We had a great stay at tawny cottage!

It had everything we needed, very clean and comfortable. Lovely views, quiet and in a really good location for everything we wanted to see/do! Thank you for a great stay!

It was a lovely place to stay owners very friendly loads to do locally especially if your a dog owner will def be going back

Great place for a break excellent hosts and setting just right the hot tub is a very good option after being out all day only slight gripe the sofa is not the most comfortable but you don't go to a place like this to sit inside overall excellent and we will be returning

Nice location.

Very well laid out cottage. Hot tube was lovely. Sofa wasn't very comfortable.

Very enjoyable stay.

Lovely landscaping and nicely decorated and presented. We could have done with some scissors and a few more glasses and cutlery. A Coffee machine and welcome pack of coffee pods, milk and biscuits would have been nice too. The cottage was very snug and warm even without the heating on - the bathroom was surprisingly chilly though.

Sofa wasn’t very comfy l but the bed was !

! Lovely cottage, just right for two

Such a great holiday home, absolutely loved the location and the quiet farm setting

Tawny Cottage is beautifully presented, spotlessly clean, with everything you need for a break away.

It’s located on a farm with other individual cottages of different sizes and styles. For us the only down side was the very steep steps to enter the property. It’s convenient for many locations in the surrounding area and nice to return and relax in the hot tub in the evening.

Beautiful location, spotlessly clean, lovely and quiet and a great place to bring your dog, Only small negative's, if you can call it a negative, was TV downstairs wasn't user friendly and internet code didn't work, these didn't bother us in anyway as it was a short stay.

Overall a great place and highly recommended.

Really lovely, perfect location we loved it!

We will be back! The owners were so accommodating and delivered fresh eggs to our door from their own chickens. We will definitely be back!

What an amazing 3 night stay me my partner and our dog had at this cottage.

It was the perfect location and not to far a drive from Whitby, Bridlington, Filey beaches etc. The hot tub was unreal too and perfect way to relax!

Lovely visit to tawny cottage, will definitely recommend and we will be back.

Lovely little mid week retreat. Thanks for having us!

Fabulous time at tawny cottage!

lovely area,lovely cottage,would highly recommend and hope to return in the future, thank you

Fantastic location to explore the North Yorkshire coastline.

Great enclosed patios for the dog and hot tub was such a treat! Situated on a lovely farm in a rural area, modern cottage and perfect get away. Would 10/10 recommend and stay again.

Nice Cottage, quiet location

Lovely rural quiet location, secure area at the front for the dog while we used the hot tub.

Had a fantastic week at Tawny Cottage , It was clean and comfortable, perfect location for getting away from it all , but easy to get to surrounding beaches , the other three cottages also look fantastic, we would definitely recommend staying there

Perfect little cottage, ideal if you are interested in walking, we had some lovely walks then finished off with a relax in the hot tub, and a cosy night in sat by the the log burner absolutely perfect.

We had such a lovely weekend at Tawny Cottage, if you're looking for a little escape to unwind, this is your place.

We took our 18 month little boy and dog and had a great time! Plenty of room for us all and very cosy, the cottage was very well equipped with everything you needed. The owners had a few niggles with the boiler but were so helpful and gave us extra logs for the fire, which as soon as it got going heated the whole cottage it was bliss, they couldn't have done enough to help. We had a Christmas tree too, so after a windy walk along the beach, coming back to the fire and a few Christmas films on Netflix was just perfect (Smart TV). My little boy enjoyed seeing the fish and the other animals, the owners were so friendly and happy to chat and even brought round some fizz and chocolates. It was a lot more private than I thought it would be, you're not overlooked by any of the other cottages when you're in the hot tub which was great. All the cottages have been done to a very high spec, it was spotless and very clean. A 10 minute drive to Scarborough, 30 minutes to Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay, the location was ideal, we'll definitely be back in the new year. Thank you for a lovely weekend!

A fantastic cottage in a superb location for exploring the areas around Scarborough and Whitby.

The cottage is superbly decorated and well equipped with every last detail considered. Highly recommended.

Me and my partner stayed in the Tawny Cottage and it was very beautifully decorated and super cosy!

We absolutely loved our stay and the area around us, waking up to the view of the country side, horses and sheep was wonderful! We loved the little touches like been able to relax after been in the hot tub to watch a film on Netflix! The location was perfect for visiting places such as Whitby, Goathland and Dalby Forest. The only downfall with our stay was the plot next door to the cottages is currently under construction which was very loud, this wasn't too bad with us having day trips out by the time we was back to the cottage the workmen had finished for the day and if other cottages have guests visiting/staying over this was causing a little bit of hassle with parking which we didn't think was fair as we was paying customers we should be able to park when returning for the night! Other then issues which was nothing to do with the hosts the stay was lovely and the hosts was wonderful, so lovely to chat to and very helpful! We would love to return in the future and maybe stay in another cottage/lodge!

Absolutely fabulous place to stay , very cosy on cold nights with the fire , hot tub is fantastic, very peaceful location.

The owners are very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this place and I will be returning very soon

wow wow wow wow me and my partner had an amazing time at this cottage, hot tub hot tub hot tub is all i can say, we was in that every night and some days,the cottage was amazing lovely views, amazing facilities, the hosts were lovely and very helpful esp when we ordered a take away and the lady host helped the driver found where we was, villages around the cottage was amazing we had such an amazing time and max our lab dog enjoyed it very much

Beautiful cottage and very clean.

We stayed over the new year and the hosts even brought over a bottle of bubbly for new years eve. The cottage had a Christmas tree and facilities to get the fire going on our arrival. Hot tub was amazing but the peace and quiet in such lovely surroundings made this the perfect break. We would not hesitate to return and have told all our friends about this lovely hideaway.

An absolutely amazing stay here!

! Stayed with my partner for 7 nights purely for a relaxing break away and that’s definitely how it stayed!! The people that run this place are so helpful and so so lovely I couldn’t recommend this cottage enough! Only a few miles away from the town centre too! Will definitely be returning :)

We had an amazing time in Tawny Cottage, it’s beautifully decorated, very clean and the facilities are excellent.

Great information given about the surroundings on arrival. A lovely hot tub to relax in and the hosts seem happy to help should you need anything. Only one note for dog walkers a lot of the surrounding areas are private land, took me about half an hour of walking along country roads to find somewhere I could let my dog off the leader for a run about, but the countryside surrounding the cottage is lovely. If you’re taking very young children pack a harness or sling as immediate walks aren’t pushchair friendly. Some lovely places to take children a short drive away, Sealife centre, a farm, lovely beaches, soft plays it really does have everything! I would highly recommend staying here and we will be visiting again!

Loved the cottage but when I went to book it for next year it was much more expensive so I'll have to find somewhere else.

We had a brilliant 4night break.

The cottage was lovely and the views were fantastic. The hot tub was a great bonus. The hosts were very friendly and helpful if required. We went for a relaxing break and that was what we got.

A lovely setting and the cottage was amazing, especially the Hot Tub!

!! Nick and Steph were very accommodating, nothing was too much even when our car needed to go into the garage they were willing to pick us up from Filey!!! On arrival to the cottage there was milk in the fridge, tea, coffee and sugar and some lovely biscuits. Would definitely recommend :)

Gorgeous cottage lovely views .

We have been twice this year. Hope to go again in the near future.

The cottage was absolutely gorgeous, finished to an exceptionally high standard and the hot tub was a welcome bonus after long walks with the dogs.

Perfectly positioned between the bright lights and amusements of Scarborough to the north or the tranquil scenery of the stunning Cayton Bay a little further south. Nick and Steph were lovely, friendly hosts and nothing was too much trouble for them. We would highly recommend this or any of the other cottages at Riggs Head Farm for a dog friendly break with the added luxury of a private hot tub to relax in after a long day walking.

The cottage is beautifully furnished, very peaceful and so handy for Scarborough and Whitby etc.

The owners were brilliant, a lovely family with a great set up and all the animals and so friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back asap. Highly recommended, just hope we can still get booked in!!!
