The White House

• "Nice little cottage, very clean and comfortable."

  Superb hot tub in a secure area suitable for dogs. Some very welcome treats left on arrival which is a nice touch. Shower wasn't very powerful, and location-wise the local village is short on amenities. However there are some lovely local walks to be had, and the local pizza place is good. Overall an enjoyable short stay.

• "Very comfortable and well equipped."

  Ideally situated for sightseeing and racing. Lovely hot tub. Very friendly and helpful owners. Unfortunately Wi-Fi and mobile signals poor and although there was a warning notice above the entrance to the kitchen/living area my husband managed to bang his head several times on arrival and departure.

  It has been well thought out and well laid out. It’s nice that the hot tub is secluded and secure so your dog is save while you relax in the tub. Nice touch with the games,books and dvds. Very quiet on a night which we loved. Lovely pizza take away close by and great pub. Lovely to meet the family. Look forward to returning.

• "We had a lovely stay at The White House - the property is very well equipped, with everything you’ll need for a comfortable few days away."

  It was lovely and warm, the kitchen had all the essentials, and the bed and bathroom were all great. The bottle of wine and biscuits were a lovely touch too! We took our spaniel, who had the run of a private yard - and enjoyed the complimentary dog treats very much! The hot tub was absolutely superb, in its own enclosed, secure area with easy access from the property - just a short hop across the private yard. It was very clean, warm and a perfect way to relax throughout the day. We made use of it at least twice a day and could have spent longer! There are a few walks straight out of the door which are handy for other dog owners. The village is very quiet and relaxed. We had a great time and can’t wait to plan another trip in future!

  It was clean and comfortable, and the owner was on hand for any advice/information. It benefits from being in easy walking distance to a very (dog) friendly pub, where food is served Thursday to Sunday. Some lovely Market towns close by to explore and close enough to the sea for walks along the beach. The hot tub made for a relaxing end to the day. Thanks for your hospitality!

  What a hidden gem this is. A cozy, warm cottage that had everything we needed nestled in a fantastic village. We arrived to find a welcoming home complete with Christmas tree, wine and mince pies. A very nice touch. We ventured to the local "Robin Hood" on the 1st night and were greeted with a warm welcome from both the owners/staff and also all of the locals. We had great food too. On Christmas Eve we chilled and relaxed in the cottage and took a dog walk around the beautiful village before returning to the pub again where our well behaved dog was made most welcome, once again enjoying great food and a welcoming atmosphere from a great community of people. We enjoyed another 2 nights in Middleton and much of the same with a trip into Beverly in-between. All in all, we had a fantastic break away and I look forward to returning again in the not too distant future. The owners have made a cracking job of their rental and I would highly recommend for anyone looking to kick back, relax but still have home comforts. We couldn't find fault. Thank you for our stay - greatly appreciated.

• "The listing said something about the property all being on one level (the first floor); however, you need to know that there is step down into the living/kitchen area."

  This will not be a problem to most of you but if you are disabled it's something to think about. It is 'just one more step' to a 'normal' person, but being newly disabled myself, I found this step extremely difficult as you also need to duck to avoid the low door frame. Aswell as the step, the kitchen area is very small and not user friendly for anyone who can't easily turn and twist. I don't want the review to be completely negative, because the cottage is lovely, as is the hottub.

  Cute cottage which had everything we needed, even managed to make our lovely Christmas dinner on Christmas day! The village is also lovely and peaceful. On arrival the owners left us a bottle of wine and a Christmas card which was a nice touch and made us feel welcome. One of the main reasons we stayed here was because the cottage was dog friendly for our lurcher, he also settled in really well! And of course the hot tub which was excellent, the area was private and we could relax. Would definitely stay again.

  Local pub good for food, but, at the moment of from Wednesday to the weekend. The owners alowed us to slightly change our stay because of illness which was nice of them. The hot tub was very good to be able to wind down after a day out. The only problem is there is no viable internet but it is not advertised as having any so it wasn't a major problem, and they information provided tells you it is not readily accessed.

  The cottage was in a lovely little village with a pub within walking distance. We spent most of the days exploring the area and then the evenings were spent in the hot tub relaxing. My partner also proposed to me during our stay which made it extra special. We also visited the pub a few times for a drink and food which was delicious and really reasonably priced. The owner of the cottage was lovely, we called the day before to confirm when we would be arriving and were greeted with a bottle of wine and shortbread which was a really lovely touch. If you want a break where you can just switch off and explore the beautiful Yorkshire countryside this is the perfect place.. we would definitely return!
