• "Our 2nd time at Abbey View, this time in the Barn."

  Everything you could need for a weeks break. Lovely festive tree and lights in the yards making it very Christmassy. Special thanks to Alex and Kay for their extra duties for us in the Power Cut due to storm Darrah.

• "Beutiful cottage in idyllic surroundings."

  Alex and Kay are lovely hosts and we had the distinct feeling nothing was too much trouble. The loss of one point for recommendation is purely that for a self catering cottage the fridge is very small; we fully accept that there is no space for a larger fridge but possibly making this clearer would be helpful, also may be a few more tea bags in with the coffee/ sugar box ? These were the one thing we had forgotten, so the two that were in the box didn't last long. There were a couple of areas which had been missed with the duster such as the bedside lamps and under the radiator in the lounge area, we know trying to keep ahead of dust in the country is a never ending job, but lamps and also top of the fire had unfortunately simply been missed but overall cottage was spotless. Kitchen was well stocked with equipment which again was really clean. Was there anything that has put us off going back? NO! We weren't sure to start with, but within 24 hours, we were looking at dates to return and are continuing to do so. Thank you Kay and Alex for a lovely relaxing stay.

• "Lovely few days at Barn Cottage despite the poor weather!"

  The location is perfect down a country lane next to a farm, but very well placed for the all coastal destinations and so peaceful. The property is very spacious and well equipped and the secure dog field is very handy! Would definitely visit again.

• "Nice holiday let in a great location."

  Just a few little things stop this being higher rated or us returning. The outside seating area is next to the bungalow accessed by wooden steps from the courtyard rather than directly from the bungalow. The electric shower water pressure is very low, even on its highest setting. The bed springs are annoyingly loud and you roll into the dip in the middle of the soft mattress. We could hear every word of the holidaying neighbours conversation next door through the wall night. This is the first letting we have been to with no washing machine (always handy for washing dog/beach towels, swim stuff etc) But we still enjoyed our stay, as we love the area.

• "Wonderful location, friendly host, A comfortable cottage with everything we needed."

  Cozy homely feel with beautiful views of Whitby and the surrounding countryside. The dog field was an added bonus (our dogs loved it and we loved the views from it) especially as there was no direct access to the enclosed patio area adjoining the cottage and the steps were a little steep for the dogs. Ample parking Can't wait to visit again

  Cottage was cosy and had everything we needed. I would have liked a couple of big mugs for a morning cuppa as the slimline ones just weren’t big enough for me but that’s a personal choice.
