  • "No visible signage on road side."

    Lounge furniture very sad and uncomfortable. Insufficient instructions for central heating control, especially as we needed to reset the timer for clock change. Quite a few issues with cleanliness, cobwebs, dirty dishes/pans. Very tight to move around double bed, now sport several large bruises as frame stuck out further than mattress. Many lights not working. Pantry light ceiling rose was sparking when switched on. The state of the front entrance way was very poor and unsafe in wet weather. Front door and twin bedroom window frame are rotten. No doormat provided to avoid tramping in mud etc.

  • "This Cottage has huge potential but is in need of significant TLC."

    The key safe catch is worn smooth and difficult to open. The upper panel of the front door is rotten. Not a welcoming first impression. The low voltage lights in open plan room are too dim and do not reflect the bright photos in your website. Very antiquated fixed shower over difficult to access bath, hazardous for elderly. Piping hot water from taps but only-luke warm in shower. Lack of signage off lane. Problem shared by neighbours. BBC channels constantly pixilating to the point of unusable. Wi-Fi connections erratic despite visit from Open Reach mechanic. Comfortable lounge furniture and beds. But limited wardrobe space. Excellent central heating system. Peaceful location with regular visits from neighbouring peacock. Easy access to regional attractions. Recommend Pickering/Whitby steam railway, CedarBarn farm shop & Cafe en-route to Thorton le Dale, Cropton New Inn.

  • "Lovely cottage in a beautiful spot!"

    Situated only 9 miles from Pickering but feels very remote so absolutely fine in the summer months, but maybe more difficult to get to in the winter.

  • "It would help if a contact phone number is included as there was no way that we could inform of any problems."

    There were a number of different containers for disposing of rubbish but the main bin had not been emptied since the last client had left. By the time that we had added our waste the bin was rancid. There were no spare liners to replace the full one and no information about the dustbin location to dispose of anything. There was a lovely bath but no safety hand grips to get in and out. In the room with the single beds, the windows could not be opened as they were screwed up making the room very hot and stuffy.

  • "Hi our recent holiday at The croft Hartoft the cottage was in a spotles condition on arrival and well presented and comfortable to boot The terriffic."

    My 4 star rating doesnot due enough justice to it.My only gripe was the WiFi which [i need for my C O P D records] wasnot working all week i tried to phone but recption was so bad [ not his fault ] computer diagnosis was router not plugged in and no light on router this has left a gap but hey-ho a small price to pay for a otherwise brillant holiday
