    There was some thoughtful additions from the owner , milk in the fridge, tea, coffee and sugar and fresh flowers on the table. Lots of walks to be enjoyed straight from the cottage door. This is a beautiful location and we were very sad to leave. We would definitely come back here again.

    The cottage was so well appointed with everything you needed for a relaxing visit. The bread maker and ingredients was a splendid welcome touch and the bread it made delicious. The location and views from the cottage were amazing and it was a great place for getting out and about in North Yorkshire. The owners were so friendly and helpful that the cottage felt like a real home from home. Definitely a ten out of ten score from us. Thank you.

  • "Everything about my stay at Stone Cross was excellent."

    The location is idyllic and there are lots of walks straight from the cottage to the nearby villages. The cottage itself is stunning and had everything I needed for my stay. Everything was exceptionally clean and the cottage feels very light and airy. My dog particularly liked laying at the french doors and watching the world go by. Travelling alone, I am always grateful for nearby parking when having to unload bags and dog etc. and having parting right outside the property is perfect. I didn't use the outdoor area as the weekend was more walking than sunbathing weather but it was nice having an outside area that was secure and I could let the dog out in to. I will definitely be recommending the cottage to friends and family

  • "The property was super, and just right for what we wanted to do."

    It was well equipped and very cosy. Having the garden was helpful and would have been a lovely place to enjoy supper with a glass of wine had the weather been better. It was very easy to walk to three villages for supplies, and a quick drive for a number of activities we had planned, so it was a great location. I would definitely recommend and return to, should we holiday in the area again.

    The location was perfect for exploring the area -- by foot or by road. The cottage itself was immaculately clean and very well equipped. There was a lovely vase of roses and bottle of wine on the table when we arrived. The washing machine made it easy to pack relatively light and stay for seven nights.

    The cottage was spotlessly clean, well equipped and homely, with amazing views over the country side. I was a little hesitant about the spiral staircase when we booked, but it was fine. It's carpeted, the steps are wide enough & not steep. There are some lovely villages round & about. We would definitely visit again. People visiting with four legged friends need to remember food/water bowl's as there weren't any.

    Only draw back was lack of bin facitlities. I stayed alone and made little waste but bins were overflowing with beer bottles and waste that was left by other users. A chair in the bedroom would have been good. Everything else was fine. Anyone disabled or unused to stairs would struggle on the staircase to the TV /sitting area.

  • "Fantastic! The cottage had absolutely everything that we needed for our stay."

    It was actually larger than we thought it would be and offered us peace, quiet and comfort coupled with being a great base to both cycle and walk. We loved the layout and enjoyed the mezzanine style lounge. Our hosts were great and they didn't interfere with our stay but made it clear that they were on hand should we need to speak to them. There are no shops in the village so forward planning was essential. Regarding properties of this size, this is by far the best we have stayed at. It was clean, well appointed, and we even arrived to find a bottle of wine and some milk - very welcome after a long journey! We were never cold as the underfloor heating was brilliant. Situated in a very private part of the farm we also had somewhere safe to park our car. We were very, very pleased with this accommodation and would visit again. The location was superb for us though possibly too remote for some. Our thanks to the owners for providing such an excellent service. Can't wait to return!

About the location

HUTTON-LE-HOLE

Kirkbymoorside 3.5 miles; Pickering 8 miles.

Situated in the heart of the North York Moors National Park and handily placed for touring both Moors and Coast, the idyllic little village of Hutton-le-Hole is widely accepted as the prettiest in the area. Charming stone built cottages cluster around undulating village greens, with a stream (Hutton Beck) passing through. It's the perfect spot to sit and watch the world go by - but don't be surprised to find sheep grazing next to you! The village is home to the Ryedale Folk Museum, a 'hands on' museum of local life and tradition, which includes a reconstructed Elizabethan Manor House, farm buildings and craft shops. The village also has a complex of craft shops, workshops, tea rooms and gift shops. Nearby the attractive old market town of Kirkbymoorside lies on the edge of the North York Moors National Park, in between the towns of Helmsley and Pickering. It's a charming place with a slightly 'old fashioned feel' and visitors will find plenty to keep them occupied in the many shops, tea rooms, pubs and restaurants. There is even an 18 hole course for golf enthusiasts and Pickering is the base of the North York Moors Steam Railway - a 'must do' day out for all visitors to the area. Both the City of York and the Yorkshire Coast are within easy driving distance.
