  • "I’ve stayed at Water Hall Farm cottages a number of times but this is my first stay at Kitchen Cottage."

    It was just perfect for me on my own. It is furnished and equipped to the highest standards with everything I could possibly need. I was so comfortable and happy there, with access to my favourite places on the North York Moors, the Dales and the Yorkshire coast. I can highly recommend this cottage.

  • "This cottage was perfect for us."

    It was of an excellent standard throughout. It was spotless, comfortable and well equipped with ample hot water and extras we haven’t found in other holiday lets. We found a copy of the inventory, which was sent out a week prior to our stay, very useful so that we knew exactly what we needed (and didn’t need) to take. We enjoyed walks from the door and several walks within a 10 minute drive although we couldn’t resist the hour’s drive to the coast in such beautiful weather. Everyone on site, the owner, his family and the team of ladies who clean the cottages were friendly, pleasant and always helpful. We’re sure it would be a cosy cottage during cooler months of the year so we’ll be happy to return in Autumn or Winter. We loved it!

The surrounding area villages and towns were beautiful and the views on the moors stunning . Lots to see and do the steam train from Pickering to Whitby was a lovely day out .

  • "The cottage was very clean and comfortable ."

    Unfortunately, the bed is too hard. In the listing it says that there are alpacas, pigs, goats, chickens, dogs and a cat. My wife loves animals and she was looking forward to see these little beauties. But no pigs, no goats, no cat, only a lovely dog called Bella, so friendly. We were able to see the alpacas because someone from another of the cottages told us where there were. But it was very difficult that no one welcomed us and instructed us where everything was, whom the owner was, where he lived, etc. Everything was just guess work. To complete, the mobile network does not operate in the house, no signal, neither around the farm, so if you want to call someone it's impossible!!! But there is internet access. Otherwise it was a nice week in Yorkshire.

    .. Kitchen Cottage was perfect. The first thing that hit us as soon as we walked through the door was just how spotlessly clean it was and in these strange times this was immediately reassuring. The cottage is very thoughtfully laid out and has everything you need for a very comfortable break - a real home from home and a perfect base for exploring the area. And, as for the welcome... we were made to feel so welcome and would absolutely recommend the tour around the farm. Thank you to all at Water Hall Farm Cottages for making our stay so enjoyable. I hope the commitment and energy you all so obviously put into the cottages is rewarded. We will definitely recommend to family and friends.
