The place looked a bit ‘tired’ overall. Very quirky collection of decorative items were entertaining but actually the space could have been better used for, say, a clothes rail or shelves. The bathroom had not been decorated in years; something had been taken down from the wall but the gap had not been repainted, the bath edges were black in places. There was nowhere to wash eating/cooking equipment apart from the bathroom basin which is fine but… where to dry? One item of crockery had clearly been put back on the pile rinsed but not properly clean. Ours was one of maybe a dozen or more properties at over £100 per night, so there’s surely enough income to spruce up the accommodation a bit. We left with the feeling that the owners were happy to take the money but not invest it back into the properties.

Quirky decor, easy parking, dog friendly (much appreciated). Pleasant person at reception.

It seemed a little dirty possibly from dogs staying in there prior, but only by smell, not that bad though

Nice quirky self contained unit next to a pub

I suffer with a bad back so the beds weren't very comfortable for me as i normally only can use memory foam mattress. The shower was quite small but other than that it was lovely and we will hopefully return in November. Maybe if another cottage is available the bed mat be better i will ask when we book .

Me and my husband loved staying at this lovely cozy cottage with our 2 dogs who loved it there . Beautiful local walks . Perfect pub next door and staff were so friendly and welcoming. From the minute we arrived we felt so comfortable and that's what we needed due to travelling from Cornwall.

Bed wasn’t very comfortable. I could feel the springs but was ok for 1 night.

Easy to find. Easy to check in. Good pub next door. Fridge, microwave and even a toaster in the room.

No internet which was a disappointment

Good pub nearby with value for money with food

There was nowhere to put soap or shower gel/shampoo in the shower cubicle. Toilet was on a plinth. Bit awkward being a smaller person.

No breakfast included. There is a pub next door, but we didn't make use of it. Only stayed one night. Handy lane for walking the dogs.

Dark room dark furniture in need of updating Extremely small bathroom. Toilet squeezed between shower cubicle and wall

No meals on site available as they are self catering Location not too bad by a main road Good local pub next door

It definitely needs an overall and the bedding even though clean needs to be nice and fresh looking and feeling. Thought it was nearer Yarm centre. We like a nice walk but the walk into Yarm but was mainly on very busy main road.

The pub next door was very nice. The host was very friendly and helpful and our room was ready so could check in early.

Stayed in July 2024

The people next door seemed to hire the room and then invite ten people around for a drug fulled party the nosie went on till early hours of the morning with nothing but abuse. Awful time had will not go back

Stayed in May 2024

The staff were rude, the bed was uncomfortable. It was very close to the main road so this made it noisy and on a Saturday the pub has live music so in the cottage allocated to us you could definitely hear it.

The location for us was the reason we booked it as it was close to my family that we could walk wihh tbh out using taxis/public transport

Stayed in March 2024

There's not much room, very small double bed, and we're not big people. Unfortunately, it wasn't very clean, lots of cobwebs, no forks and only 1 cereal bowl. The rooms are definitely not soundproof, we stayed in a room next to a resident man and daughter, we're woken up both mornings at 7am, with loud talking and blaring tv, not good when having a little break away. Saturday morning at 4 am woken again, he decided to watch TV, so not much sleep that night.

Nice location, dog friendly, very helpful owner, lovely dog friendly pub within a short stroll. Nice hot shower, although strange having a clear bathroom window.

I have no complaints at all.

We decided to go away for the evening at the last minute. After booking we checked in less than an hour later and the room was already ready for us. Got a really lovely welcome from the owner and was shown straight to the room. Our room was cozy and had everything we could want during our stay and more. The room was fully equipped to make our own food or there was a great pub right next door that did sit in or takeaway food. Their parmo was exceptional. The cottage was in a really lovely location that was so quiet and surrounded by gorgeous fields which our little dog enjoyed running around in. We’ve never stayed in a place that dogs were welcome before so it was amazing to be able to take him with us. All 3 of us slept like logs as the bed was so comfortable and the room was lovely and warm. I’d recommend this place to anyone as you definitely wont be disappointed. I’d go back today if I could.

Only the weather. But even that didn't stop it being a lovely break.

Dog friendly, quirky rooms that make it so special and a lively weekend away. The rooms were amazing. Pub next door had outstanding food too.

Stayed in March 2023

The cottage was in need of refurbishment and it didn’t feel clean. Brown sheets on the bed is never a good sign. Bathroom very small. If I was a large lady I wouldn’t have been able to use the toilet.

Stayed in February 2023

not a bad thing but thought they may have provided the extra little essentials like shampoo etc but overall that didn’t put off my lovely stay here as will come down again :)

I liked the quirky style of the cottage and the layout and the styling, the hostess was lovely and polite and was approachable when needed. also are allowed pets so that’s the huge advantage and lovely pub just next to door too :)
