"Our second stay at Puddleduck and it didn’t disappoint."
Jane thoughtfully checked-in on us to ask if we were warm enough due to the very cold weather. The cottage was spotlessly clean and the welcome basket was well received thank you.
Puddleduck has great off road parking as is perfectly placed for exploring the surrounding area. We hope to return in the new year for a third visit
Delightful guests. It was a pleasure hosting. Look forward to welcoming you back soon.

"Absolutely beautiful cottage."
Every need has been catered for. The owners have made a lovely comfortable and quirky holiday home which leaves you wanting for nothing….except a much longer stay.
We really enjoyed our short break and will definitely return

Main door still sticking ( pointed the same thing out on our last visit 5/6 years ago ) so not the easiest to close and lock
Banged our legs on the frame of the bed a few times as there is only a narrow walk way
But this would not stop us from coming back , lovely well positioned cottage with parking outside
New inn has food all week ( but decided not to do food on the Monday and as the Buck only dose Wednesday to Sunday we ended up with fish & chips ) the fox & rabbit just out of town is very good but probably best to book a table
Chocolate shop is fabulous

"Lovely, cosy holiday cottage."
Perfect for our family half term break. Lovely village, with plenty to do not too far away, like Scarborough Castle and Whitby. A very much appreciated welcome basket of essentials and treats too.

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan to return."
The only improvement we would make, and it is a small one, is that a double hook should be fitted to the bathroom door.

"This is a lovely furnished cottage with a quiet rear garden in the middle of Thornton-Le-Dale, one of the prettiest English villages."
Especially the bathroom is very spacious and comfortable, and the kitchen is well fitted out for home cooking. We were very pleased with the welcome package we found upon arrival: bread, butter, wine, biscuits, milk and chocolate. York and Castle Howard are on your doorstep, as is the North York Moor Railways steamtrain to Goathland (Hogwart) and Whitby.

"Simon & Jane have totally nailed it, even more impressive as they're comparative newbies to the cottage letting game!"
The cottage is lovely, everything you need, nothing you don't, right down to the 'Welcome' hamper. There's all the home equipment you require for a longer stay, washing machine, dishwasher, outside washing line so no need to be swamped by laundry when you get home.
Simon tells us it's still a work in progress, but other than perhaps a link of paint and an odd tweak here & there it's perfectly fine ad it is.
The lounge is comfortable, plenty of room to sprawl around, the bed is vast and supremely comfy, so a good night's sleep is virtually assured.
All in all, very very good, high quality cottage.
The paddock to the rear of the cottage reinforces the rural feeling, along with the sizeable lawned area to relax at the table with a long glass of something alcoholic.
Be assured, we will be back, as time and circumstances allow, as its a wonderful place to let the cares of the world float away!
We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Puddle Duck. Your positive feedback is greatly appreciated. You were absolutely perfect guests. We very much hope to welcome you back in the future. Simon and Jane

"The cottage had a lovely situation and was very convenient for the village amenities."
The directions to get to the property were accurate and clear. The standard of equipment and cleanliness was excellent. Hot water and heating was set up for the guests convenience. It was a quiet location and parking space was close by and spacious. The WiFi was fast and reliable.
Just two minor comments – nothing that would stop us re-booking and that need not be included in what you publish about the cottage. We found the large knives a little on the blunt side for cutting anything substantial. We used the washing machine just once and found the cycle very slow.

Excellent location, close to pubs, restaurant, shop, ice-cream parlour, tea room and chippy; and well placed for visiting the sights. The welcome pack was a lovely surprise and much appreciated, and put smiles on our faces when we arrived! We docked you one point on comfort as the sofa and tub chairs weren't the most comfortable....we like to slob around on a big sofa! Having said that we would love to visit again one day. Thank you for having us (sorry we didn't make a note in your guest book, we didn't have a pen)

The cottage is in a great location in the village, within walking distance to it's amenities (shops, pub, ice cream etc) and a great location too for exploring the North York Moors - we had a great time in Dalby Forest, and some lovely walks in the moors as well as on the coast.

Only complaint can you make the sign stand out a bit more. It blends into the brick work and we missed it a few times. All in all we had a comfortable stay.

"A wonderful little cottage, we really appreciated the welcome pack."
The owners had thought of everything, the only thing we did go out and purchase was an extension lead for the single bedroom as we had nowhere to charge all the devices and some medical equipment.
We found a little dust under the bunk bed but it didn't impact on our stay (we left a little note mentioning it, however only so whoever cleaned it could address it for future guests who may be bothered). The only way to improve it would be to change the couch and chairs in the living room, we all found them pretty uncomfortable. It was great to have faultless wifi, the visitor book was a great addition and was all the information we needed for our stay however the leaflet “basket” could do with an update. We had a wonderful time though and would recommend it, especially if the furniture was updated.
