Beautiful position and gorgeous wee cottage. Backs onto farmland and further along into Dalby Forest, great for mountain biking and walking. Host super friendly and very helpful. The property needs a few minor tweaks to make it perfect. Bathroom sink tap loose, Bedroom door to garden had expanded and didn't close fully. We would definitely stay again! Thank you Trevor Smith6 May 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wife and I Had a lovely Short break here, may bank holiday... Martyn the owner, wasn't there to meet us, but kept us updated via email and did come introduce himself, as soon as he returned.. Very helpful and informative about places to visit, eat out and local walks with our dog Molly... We stayed in the Derwent, had everything you need to make your stay a good one, clean and tidy, fresh towels and bedding.. .. secure parking due to electric gated entrance... Fantastic place to stay for the ease of getting out and about, Pickering, Thornton le dale, Dalby forest, Whitby even Scarborough are not too far away... We will be back, let's hope for less rain next time.. Vicky Hudson-Ledger21 April 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great cottage, lovely location.
