  Lovely and well equipped kitchen. Well furnished and very roomy. Beds comfortable. Handy guide to local walks provided. Owners very helpful with any queries and left a lovely welcome pack which certainly did make us feel welcome. Cannot recommended this highly enough

• "The welcoming cake and eggs was a nice touch."

  The only slight negative was when the weather warmed up towards the end of our stay there was no way to regulate the temperature of the central heating so it became a little stuffy in the cottage.

  Thank you for your comments regarding your stay. I am sorry that you feel as though the property was 'stuffy' during your stay as it was the hottest week of the year so far. We did leave a manual in the welcome pack to advise on how to work the heating system and if you required any further assistance, to let us know. I'm so sorry you didn't raise during your stay so we could assist you. Property Owner

  We were gifted a welcome pack upon arrival and the owners were immediately on hand for any queries that arose. Easy walk to the village centre. We would definitely recommend this cottage to others.

• "We really enjoyed our stay, the cottage was cosy and had everything we needed."

  The owner made us very welcome with cake and eggs and we were reassured that she lives locally and would be on hand to sort out any problems. The cottage is around 10 mins walk from the centre of the village, we recommend the Golden Lion for great food and atmosphere - but book a table in advance - , also the local chip shop which is under new ownership. Being just 5 minutes off the A19 the cottage is really handy for Thirsk, Northallerton, Wensleydale, the Moors etc. But as it was getting dark by 4pm it was really good to have somewhere cosy to come back to. Our only disappointment (not the owner's responsibility!!) was that the weather was too mild for the log fire, which we never lit!! Would recommend this property and would love to go back in the summer to take advantage of the outside seating areas.

  A nice little touch with a lovely victoria sandwich cake & some fresh eggs. Set on the edge of a gorgeous village. It was very spacious with lovely comfy beds. Even the water pressure was great for a good shower. We will definitely be returning in the near future. THANK YOU

• "We had a fabulous week at Belle Vue."

  The cottage is charming, spacious and well equipped. Lovely garden with table and chairs overlooking the countryside. Great base if you like walking and a short walk to join the Cleveland Way. The centre of Osmotherley village and has three pubs. We ate at the Golden Lion which was excellent. Fiona left a cake and fresh eggs for us which was a lovely touch. Our only niggle was that the internet was a little unreliable whilst we were there and TV channels were limited though that may have been due to the hot weather.

• "We’ve had a lovely week stay at 1 Belle Vue."

  The cottage has lovely views & only a few minutes walk from the village where there are 3 pubs (we visited the Queen Catherine as menu appealed to my children), a coffee shop, shop & park. The cottage is clean, comfortable & well equipped. The owner Fiona was very helpful & suggested a visit to Newby Hall which we all enjoyed, perfect for all ages. We also went to York, so easy using the park n ride just 30 min drive & then 15 min bus ride.

  The Top Shop had everything needed to make the stay comfortable. Sadly the fish and chip shop closed down the day before we arrived. The owner Fiona made sure we were looked after. The cottage was well presented throughout and garden ideal for al fresco dining in the evening sun. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

• "The Cottage was extremely well appointed and very clean."

  It is also very spacious with 3 good size bedrooms, especially the master with its large ensuite. Situated close to the centre of Osmotherly, it suited us very well to explore the North York Moore's and the many interesting historical sites. The Cottage has a lovely garden but due to the inclement weather during our stay we weren't able to enjoy it. Overall I can't recommend Belle View cottage highly enough.

  3 good size bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Osmotherley is a lovely friendly village and the cottage is about 5 mins walk into the centre. We enjoyed our meals at the Golden Lion and staff were great. Gets quite busy, best to book. The cafe and shop in the village are great assets and we made good use of both. Good base for exploring the North York’s Nat Park. Would recommend.

  Very well equipped kitchen and the cottage layout works well.

• "Great location, clean and comfortable bed."

  Lovely welcome of cake, eggs,flowers and card.Pleasant gardens.Parking for estate car only possible by leaving garage doors open onto short driveway. Downstairs ensuite too cold to be comfortable. Upstairs bathroom only heated by small fan heater on wall so wouldn't like to stay in cold weather.Various floor levels between rooms and outside steps to access property and garden requires mobility.Personally would feel overcrowded if 6 people in this cottage. Was fine for 2-4 adults in sunny weather.

  Thank you for your feedback. We take criticism seriously as we put our heart into the care for 1 Belle Vue. My number is provided to all guests and we ask them they let us know of any issues as we want you to have the best experience possible. We have never previously had any issues with heating highlighted by any guests. We wished you would have contacted us as we would have happily provided additional heaters for your use as well as confirmed any additional parking requirement as there is extra roadside parking to use as well as the garage. The cottage is over 120 years old so we are unable to convert the access as we wish to retain Belle Vue's original charm. Should you wish to visit again, please contact us with any concerns and we will be able to help. Kind regards Property Owner

• "Glad to get home to our own beds."

  Beds very hard we all woke each morning with backache. Furniture in living room not much better. Small tv. Log burner full of ash had to empty it before use. Rose bush at front door needs cutting back. Parking on the road a bit of an issue. Did not realise there was that much woodchip wallpaper still around. Was it worth the money paid? Definitely not.

  Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry our beds were not to your preference, we do not usually have this issue raised by our guests. The mattresses are new and specially designed for hotel use and should deliver a high comfort level. I note your comments on the ash left in the log burner, this is actually how we keep the log burner working efficiently as it is advised to leave some ash for continued use. Lastly, I'm sorry to hear you had trouble with the parking, this is advertised accurately on the listing page for our guests Property Owner

• "I Belle Vue Osmotherley is a lovely quirky ( in a pleasant way) cottage situated just outside the village."

  Its a fairly easy walk to the pubs, fish and chip shop, café and small shop of the village along a path, narrow at first but gets wider after a 100 yards or so. Pubs have decent food and lovely outside areas, there are walks you can take from straight outside the cottage door. The owners whom we spoke to and met are responsive and care about the cottage itself. Fiona's husband came round the next day with a replacement light bulb, Fiona left a cake and eggs for us ,most appreciated. Cottage was clean, tidy and as described. The upstairs lounge is a good size for 6 people, but would benefit from side/drinks tables for the chair and second sofa and the kitchen and dinning table is slightly bigger than the photographs imply. Kitchen is well equipped so cooking is a possibility . All bedrooms were lovely, beds, bedding and mattresses comfortable and despite being on a main road the double glazing works really well to keep external noise out. Our only issue, not a big one was ,that access to the side and rear garden is only through a bedroom upstairs, a bedroom shower room downstairs or the front door and up some outside stone steps. As I have said not a big issue but should be borne in mind during a period of summer rental when using the lovely private rabbit filled garden and drinking or eating al fresco. As others reviews have said the downstairs toilet is very small, its separate from but accessed through the large shower room from the downstairs bedroom and is quite tight ( it can also be accessed from outside). Parking is also tight and any large, long car requires opening of the garage to ensure the rear end does not overhang the pavement and onto the road. You can find other parking in the village and can park on the road outside the cottage however that road is busy . I expect parking in the village is difficult in summer. This is a quality cottage. Its owners care about it and have furnished it with items appropriate to its age and style. Its very clean and provides a comfortable stay. We have stayed in many cottages over the years and this is one of the nicest. If ever returning to this area Belle Vue would be our first choice. Thanks for a great stay. Fridlington family.

• "A perfect stay!"

  Located in the 'picture postcard' village of Osmotherly, the cottage was amazing and exceeded all our expectations. Beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and fully equipped, plus a pretty garden with tables and chairs to enjoy the sunshine and the views. The rabbits were an absolute delight as were the birds and squirrels. You can walk into the village, about 5 - 10 mins & there is a lovely village shop, a cafe & 3 pubs. We tried out all 3 (of course!) and can recommend them all, particularly the Golden Lion for evening meals (delish & not expensive). We visited Scarborough & Robin Hoods Bay (fab places) York, Northallerton, Saltburn, Helmsley, Byland Abbey (free entry), Mount Grace Priory & took the steam train from Pickering to Whitby. We'd recommend them all especially Scarborough and Saltburn. The moors are stunningly beautiful as are the walks around the area. We 100% recommend the area and the cottage. The hosts were fab, very helpful and totally lovely. To find a freshly baked cake (didnt last long!), fresh eggs and flowers were such a kind and thoughtful touch, thank you. Over the years, we've stayed in a lot of rental cottages & can honestly say this comes out on top. Add in such a lovely area with so much so close by to see and do, it WAS a perfect stay. Go, stay in Belle View too, you wont be disappointed. We'll be back!

• "Thank you for the cake and eggs."

  A lovely welcome. Lovely bed linen and beds very comfortable . The only thing was the downstairs toilet was hard to use with not enough space around it and both toilet seats were wobbly. Lastly, we would have loved a chest of draws in each bedroom as there was nowhere to put clothes but on the chairs and so much lovely space. The other furniture was lovely though :) thank you for a lovely stay, cottage and lovely village and pubs :)

  Thank you for feedback, we are glad you enjoyed your stay at Belle Vue. Thank you for the suggestion regarding the additional draws within the bedrooms, we will look into this and where possible look to add additional. We are glad to see you loved your stay and enjoyed the local village. Property Owner

Fiona (the owner) had even gone to the trouble of leaving a lovely home made cake and a large bowl of fresh eggs from "her Girls" as a little welcome.

• "We had a very comfortable stay at Belle Vue cottage - it was very homely and had all the facilities we needed."

  We especially liked the lounge on the second floor which was light and cosy. Osmotherley is a lovely village with a handy shop selling basic provisions, a very nice coffee shop with fantastic cake and 3 pubs. We ate at the Golden Lion twice and would recommend. Only had a drink at the Three Tuns because, unusually for a pub it stopped serving food at 6pm - really only a lunch time pub. The village is in a great location to easily access the Moors, the Dales and the Coast and we explored all three. Also had a great day out in York which is only 40 minutes drive away (park at Rawcliffe Park and Ride). There is a lovely walk from the village to Mount Grace Priory and Cod Beck reservoir (approx. 6 mile circular). We visited Runswick bay and Whitby, Hutton Le Hole, Helmsley, Leyburn, Redmire and Castle Bolton (with a ride back on the Wensleydale steam train). Also recommend Sutton bank for cycling/walking with amazing views. The only word of warning about the cottage is that if you have a long car ( we have a Landrover Discovery), the driveway is very short and the back of the car hangs over the quite busy road so a bit precarious getting things in/out the boot. Also once parked you can't access the freezer and washing machine in the garage! This is just a small thing though - we had a great stay.
