Little weekend break
Just back from a lovely little 2 night stay at Grain Cottage. Beautiful little hideaway with everything you could possibly need. Pauline and Bob are great hosts too, especially giving little meet and greet with the alpacas. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be back. Thanm you so kuch

Thanks Pauline!
I booked the wrong week like a moron. Pauline was still able to accommodate even though I didn’t notice until about noon the day we arrived. It’s a very well done barn conversion. It was great having an enclosed yard for the dog. You can’t beat the price and we even got to feed the alpacas.

Lovely place.
Second visit with my family. The barn is in a quiet location, but only a short walk to the beach. Whitby is only a 15 minute drive. The barn is lovely and plenty of room for a family (4 in ours). The beds are come with fresh bedding.

Idyllic
Beautiful cottage with all essential amenities. Placed in a quiet, exquisite area just outside Newholm. Lovely garden and we were blessed with outstanding weather! Good selection of DVDs, boardgames and beach toys. Owners live next door, not remotely over-bearing, but always happy to help. Nice walk into Whitby and Sandsend. If you can't face the hills on the way home, taxis were all dog friendly we found. Would definitely return again.

Lovely cottage in great location
We had a lovely time in the very clean and well equipped cottage. The setting and garden were lovely, only a mile or so down to the beach at sandsend which was dog friendly even in July. Very convenient for getting into whitby too, Lidl only 5 minutes away by car. Loads to see and do and easy to access coast road to visit other places nearby. Cottage was well equipped for visiting with small children with stair gates, a cot and a high chair. Only downside was very see through blinds on the velux windows in the two upstairs bedrooms, we rigged up some towels to make the rooms darker but there was still quite a lot of light coming through so would bring travel blinds if we came again.
