  • "Fabulously presented cottage, beautifully designed with everything you could need."

    Welcome pack lovely surprise from owners! Lots of things to see and do in the area. One improvement the owners could do is some extra soft lighting in the living room as one lamp isn’t quite enough and the main light is too bright in the winter months, but that is the only negative. Will definitely love to return and will recommend to family and friends .

    Hi Alison, thank you for your lovely review it really is appreciated, we’re glad you enjoyed Mollys Cottage. So pleased you mentioned the lighting, I can confirm we have now been and put in additional soft lighting to further improve the cosy feel, the current residents have helped us get this right. We hope to see you guys again soon. Thanks Glenn & Ally Property Owner

  • "Excellent holiday cottage, spaceous and well equiped."

    Great views from the property onto the open spaces of the farm. Enjoyed watching the horse, sheep and chickens roaming around. Malton, Helmsley, Castle Howard and Dalby Forest all within an hours drive or less. A welcome break for us and the dog.

  • "A beautifully warm cottage awaited us on what was a cold, wet day!"

    A phone call resulted in the beds being sorted quickly and efficiently. ideal location for walking and exploring North Yorkshire. Seating arrangement is as pictured - seating for 4, but 3 in a row & 1 armchair at the other end of the room is not ideal for two couples who wish to chat & catch up, otherwise a great place for friends to stay with two lovely bedrooms & en-suite shower rooms.

    Hi Janet, Thankyou so much for taking time out to leave a review it's really appreciated, were really pleased you guys had a lovely time in Molly's Cottage and found the location ideal for exploring North Yorkshire. Were gutted you never mentioned the seating arrangement whilst you were here as this could have been remedied straight away, however at least you know now that seating arrangement which was as described doesn't work you. We have however based on your feedback been and purchased another chair which is placed opposite the other, were awaiting updated photos to go on the site, so we hope you guys come back and see if this works for you. thanks again, take care.

  • "Stayed at Molly’s cottage for the weekend whilst attending an event at Scampston Hall."

    The cottage was very clean, the beds very comfy and the whole decor was fabulous. Even though it was near the A64 it was very quiet and peaceful, just a great base to explore the area. Met Glenn the owner who was lovely and has put so much work into the cottages. Received a nice little hamper on arrival too. Would definitely return and recommend to family and friends.

  • "Mollys cottage is a lovely place to stay."

    Very spacious and clean. They go above and beyond to make your stay as perfect as possible. Charlie our dog loved just sitting outside and watching the world go by. Easy to go out for the day, Scarborough, Filey, Whitby and Pickering are all within easy reach. Would recommend a stay at Mollys. X
