• "We have 3 small dogs which were made very welcome."

  The kitchen had everything we needed and the dogs were happy to stay in there at night. The walled garden where we were allowed to exercise the dogs was fabulous, we even had our own seating area. We didn't get to use the swimming pool. Possibly on another visit. Loved the cottage.

• "Lovely comfortable cottage and plenty of room for the 4 of us and 3 dogs."

  Lovely location to explore lots of Yorkshire. Cleanliness was generally good just needed some attention to easily forgotten areas such as the microwave and oven but this did not spoil our stay. No hot water when we arrived but this was very quickly sorted as soon as we reported it. Highly recommend the pub across the road, very friendly and food was excellent.

• "Bella Cottage is a really nice Cottage shame it doesn't have a garden attached as having to walk dogs at midnight for a pee is not ideal Replace the carpet in the entrance hall for something more dog/family friendly."

  Muddy boots/dogs and carpet are not ideal Kitchen is lovely, good size and very well equipped Final comment would be, a nice welcome basket would have been appreciated it's the only place we have stayed at over the last 3 years that didn't provide one

  Thanks for your comments. In this extremely wet time we would hope muddy boots don't come inside ! There is the farmstead and big enclosed garden a few metres walk from the cottage. Property Owner

• "The house is generously sized with good basic facilities."

  We had a comfortable stay and had everything we needed. North Dalton is a lovely village and was very convenient for us. The heating didn’t seem to produce much heat, though there were electric heaters and, luckily, the weather was mild for December. We would definitely stay again.

• "Everyone was amazingly friendly and helpful."

  The actual estate is wonderful with great walks and not to mention the pub directly across the road. The cottage is well equipped, homely and comfortable. The walled garden was a wonder as was the swimming pool! Highly recommended .

• "This was our third visit to Bella’s Cottage."

  As usual the cottage was in good order with a bottle of milk and a bottle of wine in the fridge. The owner came to greet us and check all was well. At the end of the stay the owner came to say farewell and check we were happy with our visit. We have booked again for next year.

  Great location. All enjoyed the walks from the cottage and safe for kids to play. They enjoyed the pool & tennis court. Owners there if needed but not intrusive.

• "The description was very accurate and the cottage well equipped and comfortable."

  We were blessed with the weather and we were able to use the outdoor pool most days. It was in an enclosed courtyard and was a real sun trap! We also had a couple of barbecues in a designated garden area. We would recommend the local pub, across the road for a meal / drinks and visiting Pocklington, Beverley and York. The owners were friendly and helpful and we’re hoping to return in the future.

• "We really enjoyed our stay at Bella's Cottage, thank you so much."

  The owners and neighbours were really lovely people and the cottage was perfect for our needs, clean and very comfortable, the outside seating beside the cottage door and the walled gardens behind the old farmhouse are lovely and quiet, and having use of a swimming pool is a major bonus too. There is a pleasant walk that runs around the sides of some of the owners fields giving access to a public bridleway and the Minster Way footpath which means you have plenty of options for taking your dog for their morning and evening exercise. A really wonderful property in a lovely quiet village which we would thoroughly recommend and hope to be able to visit again one day.

• "We really enjoyed our stay at Bellas cottage."

  It is much larger than the photos show. Beautiful bathroom and main bedroom, very comfy bed. Friendly owners but not intrusive. Plenty of logs provided. Lovely walks within the grounds. Central location to visit the coast. Definitely worth a visit to the Star pub across the road with excellent food and friendly staff. Pretty little village.

  Nothing to do with property, but the pub opposite was disappointing. Lots of other places to eat locally made up for it, but a shame as it would have been nice not to have to drive.

  It was good as previously. We appreciated the completely refurbished bathroom. The owner was very helpful. We used the property as a base to visit family. It was good to see the village pub open this year and the Wolds Inn at Huggate just four miles away.

• "We had a wonderful time at Bella's cottage."

  It was clean and functional and had everything we needed. The owner was very friendly and helpful - we were made to feel very welcome. The thing that made the holiday so fantastic was the use of the pool. We had it to ourselves for a minimum of 2 hours a day on a rota. The pool was just the right size for our family of four and a load of inflatables or for a spot of exercise. Between the pool and the tennis courts, we didn't really need to spend much money on going out as all the entertainment was provided. I would totally recommend Bella's Cottage and I'm sure we will be going back there.

  Wi-Fi reception was poor, they only supplied one towel each, there were no hand towels, only one tea towel, no welcome pack with information, or just a pint of milk and tea and coffee. Plus the only cleaning material was a bottle of Joy, no bleach or antibacterial spray.

• "Wonderful location, accurate and helpful information and excellent value for money."

  The cottage is in a beautiful small terrace. The rooms are surprisingly large; with a lovely large kitchen with a good sized table and well stocked cupboards; including things like cafetières and graters which are sometimes not provided. A newly installed bathroom with a good shower was a joy to return to after a day’s walking. The house is warm and cosy and we didn’t need to set a fire, though loved the open fire in the sitting room and the ready supply of logs and coal. The BBQ area for the cottage was in the stunning walled kitchen garden which opened onto a small dry valley paddock which was perfect for morning and evening runs for our dog; before a day running on beaches, on the wolds and on some of the most beautiful walks in England. The owners were very welcoming and are clearly keen to provide home from home comfort and convenience. We will definitely return as we have much still to explore in this spectacular part of England; from a cosy, comfortable and perfectly located holiday cottage.

  The owner was also very generous in letting us pick fruit/veg from the walled garden, which we enjoyed. The area is very agricultural, though there are places to visit locally - RSPB at the coast, York, the empty sandy beaches. The house is spacious and well equipped.

• "What a fantastic little find, we absolutely loved our stay!"

  Bella's cottage was exactly what we needed for a stay with our 2 dogs: even though there is no private outdoor space, we had the use of the big walled garden just across the yard for our dogs to run around in and explore whilst we could bbq and enjoy a glass of wine in the sunshine. Part of that area is the 'kitchen garden' where Olly grows seasonal fruit and vegetable - and we could help ourselves to anything grown in there. I must have eaten my own body weight in raspberries and strawberries every morning whilst taking the dogs out! One reviewer mentioned that some of the furniture is a little dated and that is true - however, everything is clean and comfortable, so no complaints there. The kitchen is well equipped with all utensils needed and there was even a pint of milk in the fridge for a cup of tea! The area is fabulous with plenty of hikes and the beach just a short drive away. We had an amazing week and will definitely book again if we are in the area!
