• "Bee Garth is a lovely cottage and exactly as described in the owners advert."

  We had a great stay and the cottage was cleaned to a high standard with a well equipped kitchen. We went on four walks directly from the cottage and the views and scenery were beautiful. It was nice to return after hours walking and relax with a cuppa and cake on the veranda overlooking the garden and the view of the Moors beyond.

• "Absolutely lovely cottage but should state in the description, that the parking is tight, especially with a larger vehicle."

  It should also be stated that the cottage shares the grounds with the owner and another rental property, so not as private as we were expecting. However the owner did respect our privacy. With the property only being for two people, a washing machine would have been preferable to a dishwasher. Overall a lovely cottage. Spotlessly clean and a very nice stay.

  .. perfect for two people. Amazing location...views from the terrace are fabulous,especially with a glass of vino in hand!

  A haven for wildlife, the joy of watching birds, and hedgehogs in the garden. The cottage was comfortable, warm and the décor was lovely. The little details that we found through the week were delightful. The welcoming gifts were really appreciated as were the provisions in the cottage. The fact that there is no wi-fi was not a surprise as it is made known and we did not miss it in the least, The garden was relaxing and provided the perfect stargazing spot whilst also listening to owls There are facilities such as the pub nearby. The owners were welcoming and available without being obtrusive. They offered advice of events nearby. The moors are nearby for walking and you have Scarborough, with it's theatre SJT, Whitby with it's Abbey and Hutton le Hole all accessible. We hope to return soon

  They have obviously taken great pains to decorate and maintain this gem of a holiday home to a very high standard. We were amazed at how warm this little ‘sun trap’ was in October - we enjoyed making a fire but the central heating was more than adequate. We found everything we needed for cooking - and a fabulous array of leaflets and a couple of local history books. From the cottage it was only 100m to the Esk Valley Way so we had two days of walking without having to drive at all. We didn’t try the train but as long as you check the times (4 times a day), this would be very handy. We. Did make it to Whitby and the famous fish and chips but also enjoyed local tea shops and pubs. A great holiday break!

  An excellently presented, comfortable and very well thought out property that was also immaculately clean. The cottage was small which was absolutely expected as it only accommodates two but the way it has been designed and laid out made it feel spacious and not at all tight on space. It is situated quite close to a relatively busy road which did generate a highish degree of noise but that certainly didn't distract from our visit and I would love a return trip.

  We collected leaflets about local attractions and walks from the North York Moors Visitor Centre in Danby, as due to current restrictions there were none at the cottage. Good weather meant we ate on the stone veranda overlooking the owners' garden and watched the birds on the feeders every morning and evening. We would recommend the walks from the Danby Visitor Centre, clifftop circular walks from Runswick Bay and Robin Hood's Bay ( Maw Wyke walk), and the Rail Trail from Goathland to Grosmont (take the heritage line in the other direction).

  2 days we did nothing more than relax on the very comfortable sofa and watch Wimbledon. That’s strange for us - but we just didn’t feel the need to leave. It is very near the train station (at the bottom of the garden in fact) which is ideal for trips to Whitby - although very infrequent (3 or 4 per day) and you don’t hear them from the cottage.

  This is not a glorified shack at the bottom of a garden. This is a labour or love by Alan and Karen. It is situated very close to where you can park your car just of the main road to Castleton. the outside seats look out down the garden to the hills beyond. Your own outside space is limited but for a base to explore the area it is spot on. You have access down the garden through the gate and straight to the pub and railway station. Castleton is easily walkable. Inside Bea Garth there are personal touches and well equipped although a hairdryer and decent breadknife would have helped (we were lent a hair dryer). The bed was vey comfortable, very comfortable. The oven nice and clean, the shower immaculate, the settee comfortable all gripes from other holiday lets from the past. The attention to detail is fabulous and Karen and Alan are to be congratulated. There is no WIFI, (as of yet) but there is a mobile signal. The visitor book will tell you great places to see and things to do. So go for it. My only complaint..... no free beer

  On a separate note, It is not necessary for Sykes to tell me that "Jim" has just booked a holiday in Cornwall or that 3 people are looking at a cottage. These pop-ups are very annoying whilst looking at cottages on the website.

  Alan and Karen have definitely got the touch for making the cottage perfect, beautifully decorated and it was lovely to sit in the garden with a cuppa (or a glass or two) and watch the birds and just enjoy the peace and quiet. Train station at the bottom of the garden perfect for getting into Whitby in about 30 minutes, saves parking which, by all accounts, is pretty dire in Whitby. We booked the steam train to Whitby too which we did a few days later, picking up the train at Pickering (which is very pretty and has a market on a Monday). The steam train took 2 hours to get to Whitby but with the ticket we had we could hop-on and hop-off at different stations along the way. Also at the bottom of the garden and probably a 2-3 minute walk is the local public house, The Eskdale Inn, great food, great staff and a lovely place to just have a drink after a long day sightseeing.

• "Bee Garth is an absolutely superb cottage with all the amenities required and some added touches to make your stay there very welcoming."

  The outlook over the owners garden is splendid, a lovely place to sit and relax with a nice cup of tea. Situated in a beautiful part of the country with lots of places to visit this cottage is one of the best I have stayed in and would recommend it highly.
