• "Lovely little place, but wasn't exactly clean in the bathroom."

  Toothpaste still on the sink and pink bacteria and mould in the shower. And thick grime under the shower tap that wiped off easily. Dust webs a plenty in the open plan kitchen/frontroom, and the bedroom and the kitchen sink had an orange rim round it from the last person who had washed up. Had to clean all this before I could relax. The bed needs a new mattress as its like sleeping on a piece of plywood and didn't have a mattress protector on it. And the pillow protectors were stained/ needed a wash. Lovely place with lovely views, but just needs a proper clean between guests.

  Brilliant location, comfortable bed, super clean, hot tub was wonderful and the secure garden was even small dog secure - no gaps! Lovely host who showed us around the property and made us feel welcome. Would stay here again and have already recommended to family. 10/10

• "I literally cant rate this place highly enough."

  Everything we needed was there, everything was clean and tidy too. The welcome tray was a lovely touch and the hot tub, oh my goodness the hot tub was maaaarrrvellous. Paul knocked the door to introduce himself and answer any questions we may have had on the first evening but that was the last we saw of him. We could contact him should we have needed him but never did. It was quiet, peaceful and utterly wonderful. In the words of the poet and wise man Arnold Schwarzenegger, 'I'll be back'

• "Nice place, well presented, convenient and quiet location, the welcome pack was welcomed and an excellent host."

  There is a paddock opposite for running dog(s) and a distance foot path along the adjacent fields for longer walks or morning and evening walks. Not a busy path. Location handy for trips to local villages and into Scarborough, Whitby (if travelling into Whitby by car, I recommend the park & ride bus service) and Filey (The Country park is a good place to run dogs, picnic and walk into Filey).

  Great host on a working farm. Never felt so relaxed on a holiday. Will definitely stay here again. I asked Paul (owner), if he has a fan we could borrow as it was 30 degrees on arrival. He went out his way to buy one there and then which was above and beyond!! Hot tub was incredible, I want one now lol. Only recommendation is to bring a mattress topper as the mattress is very firm (or was for us anyways). Thanks Paul. Keith, Lisa & Alfie.

  When we entered the cottage we noticed they’d left a hamper out with treats for both us and the dogs which was a lovely touch. Cottage was very clean, organised and everything functioned as you’d expect, with the hot tub being a fantastic addition after a day of sightseeing. To put into context how amazing the owners are, I made a mistake with the booking only putting one dog on not two but they a still allowed us to bring both, thank you so very much, we had an outstanding time and will 110% be back!

  Decorated beautifully. Was perfect for what we wanted. The welcome basket with treats including dog treats was a lovely gesture and the dog loved them! A very minor issue with the bin but was sorted immediately and professionally which was very much appreciated. Also appreciated the owner stopping by to make sure we were happy with everything. The kitchen utensils lacked ever so slightly in that couldn’t find scissors and there were no ‘normal’ glasses for drinks but it didn’t stop the holiday at all and that is me being super critical. The outside space was great and we would definitely come back!

  The cottage itself was gorgeous, so clean and i personally loved the decor with the old country feel! Its very dog friendly which puts your mind at ease. On arrival we had a welcome basket waiting for us with a few treats and even some dog treats for Ronnie. Paul came round and introduced himself and he was very easy to talk to and very friendly, he showed us some walking routes too! The hot tub was a added bonus and was so relaxing looking out over the fields, not one building in site just trees and wildlife. We spent both evenings out on the back in the hot tub and a few drinks. We didn't really see anyone only a few locals when waking it was so peaceful. A great base as well for if you are waiting to go and explore we visited Scarborough, robin hoods bay & Filey. We will definitely be recommending and returning!

  Everything we needed was there. It's spotlessly clean with beautiful decor. A delicious hamper was waiting for us with dog treats too. Paul the host introduced himself and let us know he was nearby if we needed anything. We stayed from Friday to Monday in February, the weather was very kind to us so we enjoyed the many walks practically on the doorstep, we visited Scarborough and Dalby Forest. The hot tub was just what we needed at the end of the day. Plenty of room for the dog to have a wander in the enclosed garden by the hot tub or there's a paddock for them to have a bit more freedom. A delightful, peaceful place to stay and we would love to go back one day.

  We took our 9 month old German Shepherd and the owners welcomed him with open arms. The property is cosy but spacious and in a very quiet area which is perfect for that tranquil relaxed stay, which is exactly what we wanted. The owners provided some treats for us and our dog which was very generous. The owners are very welcoming and friendly and provided their phone numbers in case there were any problems.

  Some aspects of the cottage might benefit from a little tlc. For example the lid of the hot tub does not have a framework so is very difficult to take off and put back on. Also not all of the jets were working properly at first as one of the control valves appeared to be stuck although we did get it free. Suggest the tub is checked each week. Also there were lots of cobwebs in the lounge and bedroom. We appreciate that there will be some activity at this time of year but once we had got rid of what we could see, they didn't come back. The kitchen was well equipped unless you wanted to cook a 3 course dinner.

• "Everything was excellent-the only a couple of niggles we have was there we missed an arm chair as my partner had to sit on a dining chair due to the settee been low and soft as my partner suffers with back problems."

  Also finding the cottage with the post code took us to the farm further down the road-this is quite stressful after a journey with a dog. Needs to have a sign on the gate or something noticable for future guests. Overall we had an excellent and relaxing time-great cottage and countryside for dog walks-the paddock is ideal for walking the dog early morning or late at night. Facilities are good and the bed comfortable. Paul was very friendly and always on the end of the phone. Appreciate the directions into Scarborough from Paul-was a lot easier. Welcome pack very good and the strawberry tarts in the fridge-thank you

  Set on a very quiet road with easy safe parking. Small but well secured garden for our dog. Very grateful for the treats left by the owner the dog treats were especially welcome! The hot tub was lovely & large and great for relaxing in after a day out and great for stargazing! The kitchen had everything we needed and was spotless. Comfy leather sofa. The cottage was always warm and the heating was easy to alter. The cottage was ample for 2 and well laid out. The shower room was really nice & had a fab shower. Our only minor negatives were it could do with somewhere to put shampoo and shower gel whilst in the shower also a small clothes airer to hang wet cozzie/trunks to dry inside the cubicle if it was raining. No hairdryer (but not sure if missing due to Covid rules) A full length mirror and small coffee table would be a nice addition. We prefer a memory foam mattress so did find the bed a bit 'springy'. Overall a lovely holiday cottage, in a pretty and quiet area at a great price would definitely recommend.

The only suggestions I would make is to provide a hair dryer and a bigger mirror, for makeup and to see full outfit. The hot tub was lovley, it was so cosy and peaceful. Really enjoyed my stay here.

• "Shallows Nest is a lovely place to base yourself for a tour of the Yorkshire moors and coastline ."

  You really need a car as its a little remote but for most people visiting the area that's a prerequisite. The cottage is cosy and quiet well maintained and pleasantly decorated. Good off road parking . A good number of farm shops and honesty tables to be found close by but only ten minutes to a well stocked super market for the pizzas . The host was extremely welcoming and friendly, always happy to chat without being constantly around . All in all a marvellous place to stay and perfect to tumble back to after a busy day exploring.

  It’s a beautifully presented, well thought out haven. Everything was spotlessly clean and the attention to detail (including dog treats) was fantastic. Great location.

  Very warm and friendly welcome and all facilities were perfectly clean and everything was easy to find. We particularly enjoyed long walks on the footpaths around the house and using the jacuzzi. Lots of lovely places to visit near by. Exactly what we needed and we would both stay again. Many thanks to Paul and Wendy.

• "We really loved our holiday."

  Picky feedback would be - plz fix toilet seat and provide more loo roll, we would also welcome a blind on the front door for toing and froing from the shower. Nothing spoilt this trip though. Lovely place, Lovely host, immaculate cottage it really was. Thank you for our stay in a little haven. We really appreciated the goodies and also how quiet it was, host was there if we needed but not in your face. Cheers Paul.
