  • "This was my second stay in The Granary and I hope it won't be my last."

    The Granary is a comfortable, cosy well equipped cottage on an immaculate working farm. Debra is a friendly and helpful host. This is a great base for visiting the coast and inland with some lovely dog walks from the farm too.

    We have already booked for same time next year which will be the 6th time( I think) we have stayed. Excellent location-peace and quiet but handy for coast from Whitby to Bridlington.

    Really well equipped cottage on a working farm. Peaceful week spend visiting the Yorkshire coast. Some wonderful sunsets in that huge blue sky. Owners very friendly and helpful. Will no doubt return again next year.

  • "Such a comfortable and very well equipped cottage for both of us and the young dog."

    Great walking area - some from the farm itself made the holiday quite special. Mark and Debra were generous and helpful hosts and the ambience of the cottage was great for a relaxing break. Despite some poor weather, we made the most of the location and its proximity to the great walks of the Cleveland Way etc. Would thoroughly recommend this very reasonably priced cottage to anyone. Loved it so much we have booked again for 2025! Really looking to returning next year. Harry and Wendy (and Bailey)

    This is such a lovely comment. Things like this do make it all worthwhile so thank you Debra & Mark Property Owner

  • "The Granary was all we could have wanted."

    Comfort, cleanliness, all necessary facilities. Absolutely perfect for our two doggies being on ground level with doors out on to the fenced in patio area and then out into the open tracks and fields. Beautiful setting with great views from "the bench" and endless walkies. We are coming back in December when the weather won't be as good as we've just had but we'll cope ! One caveat though .... and this is nobody's fault .... if you go in summer as we've just done make sure your dogs are treated for ticks. We had several removals every day and it's not pleasant. It can't be helped but take care. Other than that no problems at all and we'd highly recommend the Granary. The upstairs Granary Loft also looks excellent but is ony for two people plus dogs.

  • "We have just returned from our Easter weekend stay at Granary Cottage."

    We had a very friendly welcome from both Debra & Mark. A welcome basket of Chocolate Eggs, Biscuits and an Easter card with a handwritten message awaited us, there was a pint of milk in the fridge and a vase of daffodils on the coffee table. The cottage is tastefully and comfortably furnished in keeping with its character. It was very clean and there was everything there that we needed. Mark happily helped out with some WD40 when we had a slight issue with the lock and quickly came to our rescue when ‘someone’ accIdentally switched off the hot water instead of the heating on the control box. We had hot water again in minutes. ‘Someone’ also managed to leave their phone charger and Debra sent us a text to let us know and had offered to send it on to us. The cottage is so peaceful despite being on a working farm and there was no movement of tractors and other farm vehicles before 8am. The location was ideal for us as we were visiting elderly parents in nearby Scarborough and it gave us a restful comfortable break away from the Easter Holiday crowds. The villages of West & East Ayton are just 1.5 miles down the road with a Spar supermarket, couple of pubs serving food , petrol station, and a lovely Fish Restaurant. From Ayton you can easily access Scarborough and the other coastal towns of Filey, Bridlington & Whitby in one direction and Pickering , Mallon, York , Helmsley in the other direction. The cottage is an ideal base for walkers or cyclists , there are the ruins of Ayton Castle and the very pretty Forge Valley Woods Natural Nature Reserve which takes you along a quieter route into Scarborough. We can highly recommend Granary Cottage and will certainly return.

    it was delight to drive the long tree lined driveway to the cottage. Set in the farm, this cottage has the comfort and views of the stunning North Yorkshire dales. The owners made us welcome and we were left alone in the peace and tranquil surrounding to enjoy our week there. The cottage was very comfortable, with all the facilities you would need, its a real home from home and our dog Poppy, loved it too. Highly recommend this cottage for a real relaxing holiday, with plenty of places to visit with in a short drive. Looking forward to our next visit. Thank you.
