• "Lovely character cottage in a very unique location."

  On arrival the cottage was very clean, warm & comfortable, with everything we required for our stay. The owner Sam had gone to great lengths to ensure our stay was special and left us some very nice treats - thank you. Beck Hole is very quiet & peaceful especially at night and it's handy having Whitby only a few miles away. There are plenty of walks on the doorstep. There is a pub & shop but they are very small & only open for a short while but are well worth a visit as they are also unique little places. Bear in mind that mobile reception in Beck Hole is non-existent until you get out of the very steep valley. We definitely hope to come again. Highly recommended!

• "Outstanding."

  Caring and thoughtful owner. Cosy and comfortable cottage with exceptional hospitality who goes beyond expectations to ensure a happy stay. Setting peaceful and glorious but within a car ride to the coast. Excellent base with delightful walks locally. As a regular visitor , through all seasons, it has never failed to live up its high standard and the owner continues to replace and maintain as required to ensure a totally relaxing break in a well equipped and characterful cottage. Perfect .

• "Quoits cottage is a great place to stay on the North Yorks Moors."

  Walks from the door, NYM Railway nearby. Comfortable, spacious, and generally well appointed (bathroom needs a shelf and dining room is very dark). Friendly owner who left a more than generous welcome package. Local pub, quaint, very friendly but closes at 7:30 pm, limited food and drink.

• "We very much enjoyed our stay Quoits cottage."

  It is an excellent place to stay for both local walks and trips out. We were made to feel very welcome on arrival. Food, milk and treats were left for us on arrival which made it easy to wind down after a long drive. The cottage is spacious and well equipped to relax in. It was good to be able to park on the drive next to the house. It is a beautiful location and we would recommend the cottage as place to stay. Our son loved the quoits match on the green.

  Never really stayed in a holiday cottage before as we usually camp but I think we have set the bar very high with our first stay. The welcome basket alone and fridge full of food on arrival was just above and beyond!

• "This beautiful cottage was as my 9 year old son said, " the best place in the world to be on holiday and I want to go back next year"!"

  The location was absolutely stunning with easy access to the gorgeous Goathland and steam trains out from there, as well as easy access to the main roads. We bumped into our host too, who as well as leaving an enormous and excellent welcome package (we didn't have to go foraging in the evening on arrival) was one of the loveliest and most helpful people you could hope to meet. Will definitely be looking to book again.

• "Outstanding!"

  !! Gorgeous cottage in a beautiful quiet hamlet with walks from the door. Lots of things to do in the area with Whitby and the coast within 20 minutes drive. Spotlessly clean, wonderful friendly welcome with owners on hand if required but with privacy once they knew we were ok. Tastefully decorated, very warm and homely with all amenities you could need. There are shops for the basics and also restaurants and cafes in Goathland a mile away but also other shops and fish and chips in Sleights which is only about 10 mins drive. I can fully understand why this holiday cottage has received well deserved awards. Thank you very much. We loved this holiday cottage.

  There was a lovely welcome pack on arrival, plus a delicious cake. The only two slightly negatives were the king sized bed was uncomfortable (far too soft), and the house holder next door playing very loud music on the Sunday and Wednesday morning at 05:45, which I was forced to message the owner about.

• "Quoits cottage is exquisite."

  We had a lovely time in this beautiful and idyllic cottage. Sam is a great host and she’s just next door. We were welcomed into the cottage with a selection of sandwiches and cakes, which is a lovely touch. Sam then greeted us once settled in and was very welcoming and friendly and gave the children some more cakes and paid an interest in the children, which they loved . Sam doesn’t bother you then for the rest of your holiday but you can contact her if needed but we didn’t need to because everything is so well maintained and thought out. The cottage is cleaned to a very high standard on arrival, The decor is lovely and the furniture comfortable and well maintained.The garden area is lovely to relax in and read a book or just listen to nature. Cottage Instructions are clear but not overbearing with do’s and Dont’s. The location of the cottage is very tranquil and quiet, the sheep wondering on the green outside is lovely to see each morning. The surrounding area is beautiful with the lovely Goathland just a 1 mile drive away. Quoits cottage is a great base if you are looking for a walking holiday around the beautiful countryside or if you just want a base to get to all the towns and attractions North Yorkshire offers. We would highly recommend Quoits cottage to couples, friends or families, this cottage would suit anybody, there is nothing not to like about it . It’s perfect and we hope to return again one day soon. Thank you again Sam!

  This was by far the best cottage we have ever stayed in. Sam, the owner is bext door if needed. She is lovely but we did not need to disturb her. Great location for walking. A lovely cake and scones along with tea and milk awaited us. Very much appreciated after a long journey. Be aware that sheep roam freely around the area and you may get an early morning wake up from them calling.The local quoits team appeared unexpectedly on Tuesday which was lovely. One of the team sat with us and explained the rules. Everyone in the area is friendly. The North Yorkshire Railway was a treat to ride along. The staff were knowledgeable and helped us with the baffling timetable. Birch hall inn is a treasure and chatting to the owners and locals gave us great options for walking. Walking from the cottage daily was great as we got to see local wildlife including deer. Downside is you need to travel to Pickering or Whitby if you are planning on getting food other than essentials. If you don't want to cook though, there are plenty of tea rooms, cafes and pubs to choose from. Highly recommend this gem.

  We have previously been in March 2018 and seen winter in its log fired splendour, October 2018 for the autumn leaves. This time we went for the spring / summer flowers, leaves and fauna. The walking here is wonderful and dependent upon your needs can be serene or challenging. This time we did both and the views were breathtaking. The Quoits players played two nights which was entertaining. The fat lambs gave their mums the run around and were a joy to watch. Beautiful birds, butterflies and flowers. The sausage roll at the school house cafe at Grosmont and their coffee and scones was smashing. Val particularly enjoyed the steam trains there. The goodies that Sam put on for our arrival were really, really great. We couldn’t speak more highly of the owners, Sam and Andy, they are lovely, considerate people. The cottage is spotless, well equipped and comfortable. We sat in the sun on the garden seat watching the birds and bees a lot, the plants and trees smell lovely. Again a lovely week, thankyou Sam and Andy.

  She provided a 5* welcome making sure everything was comfortable for us. We were blessed with good weather and able to walk every day. The car was not used until the day we left. The location of the cottage was very tranquil and we were privileged to see a quoits game outside the cottage. You could not fail to enjoy a stay at this beautiful cottage.

  The cottage was clean, well equipped and just right for relaxing. The goodies on arrival where scrumptious [many thanks Sam] Even the neighbours we met were all very friendly. If im to be picky....the small area for evening sunset and drinks is very small and up steps [ older may struggle] and had overgrown a tad. overall thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Geoff & Trish

• "We had an amazing time at Quoits Cottage which was so quiet and peaceful we were able to relax totally from day one."

  The area was excellent for walking with the moors on your doorstep and towns within easy reach should you need them. The Cottage was extremely comfortable and the owner Sam had added some very welcoming touches. We were also introduced to the game of Quoits which is played on the green in front of the cottage. In all we have been self catering for over 30 years and I can honestly say this cottage was one of the best experiences we have had. Jan and John

• "Our third visit to Quoits Cottage in three years."

  The standard of the accommodation and the welcome from the owners is outstanding. Sam is fully deserving of her ‘Best in Yorkshire ‘ award. The quoits match outside the window that gives the cottage its name just added to the feeling of belonging in this small community. Wonderful moorland walks right on the doorstep cater for all levels of fitness while curlews and lapwings rise from the heather around you. It’s like stepping back to a nicer place in time.

  The cottage is very comfortable , cosy but well able to deal with four persons. Owner Sam, exceptionally thoughtful and provided additional touches such as afternoon tea and cakes on arrival and milk in the fridge. The setting is ideal for walks but open to travelling wider afield like Robin Hood’s Bay. Some beautiful walks without the need of the car. In walking distance of the NYMR steam railway Outstanding countryside setting quiet welcoming which leaves you with a real feel good factor and sense of tranquility. A gem of a cottage run by a Yorkshire treasure, Sam!
