Black Sheep Cottage

We had a great stay at black sheep cottage!

Beautiful location and very cosy property! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, had everything we needed. No faults at all Thank you!

The property was clean and adequate but it isn't for tall people!

Description was accurate, even to the fact that the pathway to park the car is small. We wished that there were some additional directions for using the laundry and the television. And the building is old so the mustiness may affect your allergies. But it was comfortable and clean and a good base to use for exploring.

Lovely little cottage with everything we needed.

Comfortable and ideal for all of Thirsk's shops, yet with good walks on the doorstep. Entrance drive looks trickier than it is, pull in your wing mirrors, drive in, there's a turning space and park in front of the cottage. Then go for an Italian.

Was a bit disappointed with the cottage ,it was smaller than we thought also being a dog friendly accommodation we expected a small garden for the dog but there was nothing.

The cottage was well equipped the only downside was that it needs decorating and new furniture.The sofa in living room was broke and the mattress on double bed needs replacing.

Cosy little cottage with everything you need.

The only issue we had was negotiating the shower. If you have mobility problems it could be a problem. Everything else was lovely.

Very comfortable and cosy cottage, well equipped and extra touches, such as milk, tea bags etc.

Very convenient location in town centre but quiet.

A lovely cottage in a very convenient part of town.

The entry to the parking is quite tight and if there are other vehicles there it can be very tricky to turn round. The little welcome gifts of a local beef and fudge we very much appreciated. The bathroom is getting a bit tired and because of the size and shape of the room there is only a bath. Overall it is a nice small cottage for two people. We have stayed here twice now, but would probably choose a different place next time.

We enjoyed our four night stay over New Year.

The cottage was warm and comfortable with a smart TV and the kitchen was very well equipped and the welcome pack was much appreciated. The bathroom was a little awkward because of the eaves but it wasn’t really a problem. The cottage was also truly dog friendly with no areas out of bounds. Before we arrived I was a little concerned by some of the comments regarding parking. However our Nissan Quashqai went through the entrance tunnel without a problem and with a little manoeuvring you could park outside the door to the cottage even though a Range Rover was also parked outside the next door cottage. Once parked it was easy to walk into Thirsk. The cottage was ideally located for trips around the countryside and the coast. We will definitely want to return in the future. Regards John and Pat

I really enjoyed my time in the cottage.

It was really cosy and the bed comfy. It was ideal for walking into town for all the shops and eating places

A cosy cottage set in the centre with everything on your doorstep.

The welcome package was appreciated as well as the other little things. It was my second visit here and won't be my last. A big thank you to the hosts.

Our stay in this beautiful cottage was delightful.

A lovely welcome package was waiting for us and the cottage was beautiful. We were surprised how peaceful it was considering how conveniently close the town is, and all home comforts were provided. Dogs are made very welcome not just in the cottage but in the town itself, which was a big plus for us. The shower was interesting but we managed fine and the toilet didn’t give us any issues. Parking was fine too. Overall very happy with our stay and would definitely visit again.

Great little cottage suited our needs it was perfect

Clean enough.

Very well stocked, probably the best we’ve been too. Probably best cottage we’ve stayed at. Spacious enough downstairs. Seconds from the marketplace. Quiet. Front door is not aligned properly so can’t use all the locks. Oil bathroom door as it saves others being woken up. Bath and shower very hard to use due to the slope but it’s obviously a cottage so options limited. For us the worst was the toilet flush. Only allows small amount water into bowl and handle difficult to operate.

The cottage was lovely and quiet away from the main road.

Everything you need for a nice trip away would definitely stay again. Thank you

Our 2nd visit to this lovely cottage and we enjoyed it just as much as the 1st time!

Love the cottage, love Thirsk and the surrounding areas! We would highly recommend a stay at Black Sheep Cottage and will hopefully return very soon!

We had a very enjoyable stay at Black Sheep cottage.

The cottage is compact and exceptionally clean. Ability to park outside the cottage is a major bonus and less than 5 mins walk to the centre of Thirsk

A very nice, comfortable and cosy cottage.

Perfect location in the centre of Thirsk. Car access is tight but we managed fine. The bath/shower is short on space but the owner’s description and photos are accurate. We’d be happy to stay again in the future.

We had a ĺovely week here Just would say for any tall people the bathroom is a bit awkward due to the low beams Ian struggled Also the narrow entrance on Kirkgate for a bigger car is tight.

..just to warn people maybe I put my wing mirrors on and the hollow on the long wall needs trimming back The hotel owner keeps a sharp eye on the parking!! These aren't complaints just recommendations Regards Susan

If there are ever very cosy cottages, then Black Sheep Cottage is certainly one.

It is compact, exceptionally clean and very comfortable. The kitchen is very well appointed, the lounge is very comfortable, and the bedrooms are spaciously adequate and very comfortable. The ability to park outside is a bonus - no parking in the marketplace, which is a mere five minute walk away. Throughout, there is the "theme" of Swaledale sheep, very topical for the area. We were very surprised, and grateful for a "goodie" bag of gifts - thank you very much (not sure if this is customary - we were there over New Year). Thirsk is a bustling town with many shops, pubs and restaurants to choose from and not to mention the beautiful scenery at close hand. We had a very enjoyable New Year at Black Sheep Cottage

Lovely little cottage.

But having bath u see the eaves was a little difficult to use.

A cosy and clean little cottage with everything you need for your stay.

You're right in the centre of Thirsk to visit the local shops and cafes. Plus there's lots of places to visit in the surrounding area. The little extra touches were appreciated too, thank you. I'd definitely recommend this cottage and hope to return next year

Black Sheep Cottage was lovely.

It had everything we needed for a great stay. It was very clean and comfortable. I was worried about driving into the courtyard entrance thinking it was very narrow, but I needn't have worried as I had absolutely no problems at all. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone thinking about going. First rate!

Black Sheep cottage was in a good position and comfortable.

The bathroom, being under the dormer roof was very difficult to use for anybody with mobility issues. Regards, Philip Gibson.

The cottage had everything you need, plus a couple of extra treats.

Great location for the town centre and other villages. A lovely comfortable bed and well equipped kitchen.

The parking area is very small suitable only for a Fiat 500 or similar.

We had to take the bench into the lounge for our stay in order to squeeze a medium sized Ford into the space. No hairdryer - we have stayed in some 50 cottages over the years and this is the first one without a hairdryer. It is not possible to use the toilet when standing due to lack of head room. The bath is lethal - no handles and also incredibly slippery - a rubber bath mat make this safer. The shower has no head room and no curtain - is impossible to use apart from washing one's hair. The property should be advertised as unsuitable for seniors due to the unusable facilities.

We had a great time at black sheep cottage.

We would come again. The only slight negative was to be greeted by the bed and breakfast owner next door calling himself the acting caretaker. He was extremely unhelpful and obnoxious.

Black sheep cottage gave us everything we needed for a lovely break .

It was clean ,comfortable ,nicely presented and conveniently situated in thirsk to provide us with the Base we needed to visit some beautiful places in North Yorkshure

Lovely cottage, perfect location to explore Thirsk and Yorkshire.

We soon settled in. Everything we needed. Thank you for the bottle of beer, fudge and milk. Would definitely recommend.

Comfortable clean cottage, in a good location.

Couldn’t ask for more. We have had a lovely holiday visiting the surrounding places of interest.

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful cottage!

From the minute we arrived we felt very settled. It is extremely comfortable, well equipped and cosy! Just a stones throw from the centre of Thirsk but tucked away in a very quiet spot. We would not hesitate to recommend Black Sheep Cottage and would love to return, hopefully next year

Has a wonderful weekend at the Black sheep cottage.

Fully equipped with everything that was needed . The owners added a few extra treats which were very nice . Very comfy beds and clean through out . So close to all the shops and a lovely park near to walk the dogs . Only issue I would highlight on the site is yes there is a parking space outside which is brilliant but a bit of a sharpe turn into the entrance if you have a big vehicle. Well worth a stay and would highly recommend a stay . Thanks once again .

Lovely cosy cottage perfect location very well equipped with every thing you would need,a real home from home,would love to return one day.

Lovely little cottage and perfect location.

Bed was super comfy and just what we needed.

Lovely cottage with offroad parking in the middle of Thirsk, very dog friendly and had everything we needed for a lovely stay.

Lovely welcome pack. we would definitely stay again.

Black sheep cottage exceeded our expectations.

It was perfectly situated in town, but down a very quiet lane with private parking which is always a bonus. The owners have gone above and beyond with the unique touches.and decor. It has everything needed for a relaxing break. It is so warm and cosy with a very comfortable king sized bed. It was just the therapy needed for a relaxing break. Also a lovely welcome pack on arrival. Thank you.
