• "This is a lovely clean and well maintained cottage, I loved the good quality of the kitchen utensils ie; Saucepans, toaster and kettle."

  My only criticism would be the sitting in the living room was uncomfortable to sit on for long and also not enough sitting for the size of the room. The hot tub was a great size. The surroundings were excellent. Ivan the host was lovely and helpful.

  The cottage is immaculate, the views are spectacular and the hosts are lovely. It felt like a home from home, one major downside - we did not want to leave! The area is great, with so much to do - we all had the best time and would love to visit again.

  2 two seater settees rather snug for (largish) adults! This is not a major criticism at all, we really enjoyed our stay and would love to visit again. So beautiful and peaceful. Thanks to Ivan for friendly welcome and advice re area.

• "Our yearly pre Christmas visit."

  We book and stay in Derwent cottage and sometimes in the adjoining Primrose cottage. Both cottages offer similar facilities with comfort and cleanliness being a priority. This time we stayed for 7 nights in Derwent cottage which was extremely warm and cosy especially as there were frosty days. Ivan and Heather are great hosts always on hand if needed but not intrusive. Lots to do and see in the area. Malton Chrismas market is a must as is York Market. Also, a trip to Betty's Tearoom in York highly recommended ! A very enjoyable week. Thanks - Ivan and Heather.

• "This was our second visit to Derwent cottage and certainly not our last."

  A beautiful cottage with all the North Yorkshire charm you could imagine with a stunning view of the landscape. It’s so quiet and peaceful, but within easy reach of some excellent days out and only 25 mins to the coast. We visited with our 2 year old and after busy days out at the beach or petting farm, we could relax in the hot tub or the welcoming space in the cottage. Ivan is an excellent host and always within easy reach if you need anything. There is so much care and attention in the accommodation from the tasteful decoration and cleanliness to all the facilities from tea / coffee to condiments and kitchen roll. I would recommend to this cottage to couples, families and absolutely everyone else.

  A beautiful rural location but close enough to neighbouring towns and York that there is plenty to see and do. The cottage itself is a perfect, cosy base with great views and the added treat of the hot tub. We had a wonderful stay and highly recommend.

  This time we booked Derwent Cottage which was very cosy and invitingly warm. The perfect base to come home to after a day of spending money at York Christmas Market ! Ivan and Heather are great hosts, always on hand to sort out any problems, however, they are not intrusive, which is a good balance. Moreover, Ivan and Heather ensured the cottage was Covid clean, even "fogging" it prior to our arrival. We felt very safe, which is essential at this time. Well done ! Greatly appreciated.

  Host was very friendly and informative but also left us alone which i appreciated!

  It was absolutely beautiful, with stunning views and in a peaceful location. The cottage itself is decorated to a high standard and there is everything you could need supplied. The heating and the water were superb and always in good supply. Ivan was very friendly and welcoming - we had no issues but I would imagine he would sort them super quick! We would recommend Derwent Cottage to people and we will be back to visit again.

• "The cottage is fantastic, the hot tub, the log burner, well equipped kitchen, the bathroom isn't pictured but it is lovely with a bath and plenty of shelf space."

  Location wise the views are stunning. There is another cottage next door but Derwent isn't overlooked at all, you only see the neighbours walking past to their cottage or in the car park. It's about 5 miles from Malton walking just along the road, we did it once but I would recommend just calling a taxi (between £10 an £15). Beautiful walks nearby and Malton has amazing bars and restaurants. Have already recommended the place to others and would consider going back!

  They went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and special, and the facilities were first class.

• "Great directions to find this 'remote' location."

  Cottage was all we expected but unfortunately the COVID restrictions removed the 'soul' from the cottage as the soft furnishing had to be removed, not the fault of Ivan. It wold have been nice to know that the TV transmitter was not functioning but we did not go there to watch TV. Once sorted out the WiFi allowed us to connect a Firestick to watch something when required. That said, the beds were very comfortable, the furnishings of high quality, the kitchen was well equipped, the bathroom was fine with all the hot water you needed with a good shower. The location has views to die for and the tranquillity was just what we wanted. Sitting in the hot tub looking at the view is priceless. Would prefer to not have a 10pm restriction on hot tub use as that is when we want to get in not get out and having some larger plastic glasses for drinks in the hot tub would have been appreciated so we didn't have to get out so often for refills. Would we book again? Definitely

  You can see Castle Howard in the distance across the Vale. The hot tub was a very welcome at the end of busy days. The owner was very welcoming and helpful - thank you Ivan and Heather! A couple of local pubs are worth a mention for good food and service: the Blacksmiths Arms at Westow and the Stone Trough near Kirkham Abbey. This is the perfect base to sightsee around this part of Yorkshire. The York Park & Ride is not far away. The are plenty of walks to do in the area as well. All in all, an excellent holiday!

• "Lovely cottage with everything provided for in the kitchen."

  However the mattress was well worn and the garden area was overgrown with nettles which caught us on a couple of occasions going out the gate and steps up to the decking. Hot tub was well maintained by Ivan and we had some lovely chats. The cottage next door can see onto the decking or Derwent cottage and into the hot tub, which is a disadvantage.

  Everything we needed for a quiet weekend retreat! Amazing views. The hot tub is fantastic and extremely clean and well maintained. Super comfy beds - everything is top notch. The only thing we felt could have made the cottage absolutely perfect was different sofas. They were quite small and not very comfy for snuggling down in front of the lovely log burner!

We love it here - we stayed in the next door cottage last year. We will definitely be back.
