• "Lovely isolated barn conversion."

  Excellent holiday feel and relaxed owners. Good for bird watching and on the public footpath. Drive from main road is steep and gravelly but do able with a non 4 x4 type car but worth being aware of before arrival. Suitable for family or group of friends. Thanks for a lovely stay.

  We are pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. As stated in the description we are accessed via a private farm track and we are situated on the side of a valley and we use our fiestas with ease in and out. Thank you for leaving our barn lovely and clean Kind regards Denise Property Owner

• "Absolutely perfect."

  This is an amazing place to stay for a holiday. Every attention to detail has been taken. I can't recommend this lovely holiday home enough. Great as a base, but also a lovely place to chill and take in the breathtaking views from the hot tub. The owners were there to greet us. Leaving a lovely welcome hamper. They were there, but in no way intrusive.

  Thank you for your lovely review it was a real pleasure having you stay with us. Thank you for looking after our barn,leaving it beautifully clean. Kind regards Denise Property Owner

  It has everything you need for a relaxing holiday and is tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. Owners Denise and Chris met us on arrival and were so friendly and helpful.

• "Meadowsweet is an outstanding property."

  The views and position are simply stunning. The track down to the property we found to be well maintained, rather fun and well worth the effort. We saw Red Grouse, Red Squirrels, a Hare as well as having an incredible view of the barn owl swooping down the valley. The hot tub is a welcome addition to this well thought out and tastfully renovated property. The owners, Denise and family, were very friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Casper and Olly - the owners dogs were also great company, eager to play but happy to stop once told! We all fell in love with the peace and quiet: lovely walks can be found without getting in your car. A highlight for us was walking to Goathland from the property and having Sunday lunch at the Inn on the Moor. The best Sunday lunch we have had. We all had a great time at Meadowsweet and would highly recommend it.

  Lovely welcome hamper of local goodies, none more local than the free range eggs from the owner's chickens. Property was immaculate as usual and the views never disappoint. Plenty of wildlife to view, from the clear view of the barn owl, pheasants, sheep/lambs and cows/calves, to the resident ducks, chickens, rabbits and of course the two adorable labradors, who are always very welcome visitors.

  Wow! I cannot recommend Meadowsweet highly enough. It was perfect in every way! All of the extra touches were so very appreciated! We were greeted by the most wonderfully decorated barn with presents for all of us under the Christmas tree! Denise is just so warm and welcoming and so generous and thoughtful. We had a wonderfully festive welcome basket and fresh flowers in every room. The barn is incredible and a true testament to all of the hard work that has made it more than a home from home! Everything is just perfect from the original stone walls and stairs to the most breathtaking views. The hot tub was amazing and we loved the clear skies under the moonlight!

  We had a wonderful stay, the accommodation is appointed to a very high standard and no expense has been spared. Denise was a very welcoming host and was available should we have needed her. The views from the barn cottage are stunning and you are surrounded by an abundance of wildlife; barn owls, deer, pheasants, rabbits to name just a few. We were also entertained by the resident ducks and the two wonderful Labrador retrievers. Lots and lots to do along the east coast, Whitby, Staithes, Robin Hoods Bay, Pickering, Rosedale, Ravenscar all visited and to end the week we had a brilliant trip on the North Yorkshire Moors Pulman dining train.

• "Very high standard and beautifully converted barn, fully equipped with more than we would ever need; the owners are onsite and happy to help if you need anything."

  Views are amazing, don't forget to travel on the NYMR so you can see the cottage from the steam train, to reverse the view of seeing the train from the cottage. Close to many local walks - you can get all of them to lead to a good pub without too much difficulty. Managed to have a really good view of the barn owls, hares and swallows, even without the binoculars that were supplied, as well as the lambs and calves this trip. Additions onsite for 2023 include a labrador pup, who is equally adorable as his older brother. We're already looking forward to another stay

The NYMR steam railway is is at the bottom of the valley and great to watch. We had Owls in the barn next to us which we saw nearly every day. We had a lovely welcome pack. Its a short drive to lots of lovely village's and the beauty of the Moors with loads of great pubs. The owners live in the farmhouse on site and are attentive but not intrusive.

  We were welcomed by Denise and given lots of great information on local restaurants, pubs and places to visit. The location is amazing; we loved looking out over the valley and watching the steam train travelling through. Meadowsweet was such a cosy and comfortable place to stay, with a big kitchen-diner and lovely living room to relax in. Our children loved meeting the animals and playing in the field outside.

• "A spacious, comfortable and warm barn conversion in a peaceful location with stunning views and numerous marked walking trails from the cottage."

  The North York Moors steam train runs from Goathland (Hogwarts' station and home to Heartbeat) which is a pleasant country walk away through the valley. The coast, Robin Hood's bay, Whitby and Staithes are half an hours drive away. Enhanced by the wildlife, deer, hares, barn owls, pheasants and the owners ducks, chickens whose delicious eggs were amongst other treats in a welcome hamper, the cats and lovable labrador Casper who brings his toys with him when he wants to play, this was the perfect get away. Wish we'd stayed longer.

• "A lovely break away at a beautiful place."

  Denise & Chris were so welcoming & very helpful. Meadowsweet is a renovated grain barn and it was just fab! Lovely seeing the chickens wandering round, alongside lots of pheasants and lovely Casper the dog and Gaz the cat! The driveway is quite lengthy with potholes as previous guests have also mentioned, and steep in places too, so just go very steady up & down. We also struggled to find the cottage via the directions, but stopped at Goathland post office who pointed us in the right direction (back to Goathland Church from the post office and then right at the mini roundabout past the Mallyan Spout Hotel and follow the road quite a good while, then Murkside Cottages eventually on your right, just past a forest). All in all a really lovely stay, the place was just beautiful (beds so comfy too!) and scenery was stunning, lovely to wake up to each morning and could see the steam train in the valley too at certain times of the day. We were also not far from a lovely little village called Egton which had a great little pub called The Witching Post Inn. We recommend! Thanks again for a lovely stay!

• "A lovely cottage in the perfect location."

  Very well-appointed and comfortable. It kept its rustic charms whilst still been modern in terms of appliances, facillities and features. The cottage's position overlooking the hillside and valley is used very advantageously in the design and it provides a wonderful backdrop both physically and as a view from the windows. We loved dining outside and overlooking these views. We had a couple of issues over patchy wi-fi connection, unavoidable I guess given the relative remoteness of the location, but they were always sorted quickly and without fuss and I suspect if we'd had any other issues that would've been the case also. The driveway is a little steep and difficult to negoiate in places and if you ever able to be in a position to change this I think it would serve the overall experience of the cottage well. One other thing that occured but didn't actually come into play whilst we were there, is the proximity of the two cottages on site to each other, with regards to privacy especially when outside. The other cottage was empty when we were there so it didn't apply, but we felt had it been occupied it would have prohibited us slightly in enjoying the outside and the garden as there was not enough of a fence seperating the two and not everybody is comfortable in sharing what is essentially a communal space with total strangers. We loved our stay at the cottage and can not speak highly enough of it.

  Due to being barn conversions and attached our let’s are next to each other we have adhered to the park’s regulations and therefore cannot change anything. However there is a large field which our guests have full use of for picnics etc. We have had a company in which are correcting the internet Thank you for staying with us it was a pleasure having you.

  Meadowsweet is everything it was promised to be and more. The views are stunning - it’s a challenge to pull yourself away from them each day! It’s very comfortable and everything is of quality, presented beautifully with extra little touches like a very generous welcome hamper and when we stayed, fresh flowers around the cottage. The hosts, Denise and family, are really lovely and friendly. The hens chortle nearby, the buzzards fly in clear sight and lambs baa in adjacent fields - it’s a little haven! I would highly recommend this cottage and it’s definitely one of the best we’ve stayed in. We’ll be back!
