Crabtree Cottage Reviews

Joanne

Beautiful cottage. Great location for visiting local area.

We had an amazing time at this well presented cottage. The pictures dont do it justice. We loved the hot tub and have enjoyed a more restful weekend There are so many places to go to from this location. Only 1 tiny dislike was we prefer bigger towels when showering but thats more personal preference. Overall 1010

A beautiful cottage with everything you need to hide away for a week, though the location perfect as lots of local places to visit if you want. We had such a good time and looked for availability to come back as soon as we got home! Thanks for a lovely week!

Lovely place , everything you need for a peaceful, perfect stay , don't have to travel far to enjoy some great walks with the dog . .. definitely recommend this property

Nichola

The property was lovely. Very quiet and had everything you need. Walks right from the door as long as you don't mind having a brown lab type dog barking at the back of your legs

Angela

The cottage itself is beautiful. Very clean and comfortable and so well equipped. Little touches such as milk waiting in the fridge and the treat of biscuits, tea and coffee on arrival were lovely. The cottage provides a wonderful hot tub, which we didn't get to try due to our own physical ability, but it is there as another wonderful extra touch. There is a long, bumpy, farm track to leading up to the property , but this is a working farm, and as long as you are aware of the access, not a problem. We enjoyed our stay and found our hosts friendly, welcoming and helpful .

Denise

This is the second time we have stayed at Crabtree and like the first time we found it lovely and relaxing. It is close to both off Scarborough's beaches and peasholm park plus within easy reach of Whitby & Robinhoods bay and in the other direction Filey and it's beaches.

Lovely converted barn in a very quiet surround. It has been done to a very good spec. Had a relaxing comfortable stay and would recommend. Little added touches of furnishings, games and books was fab. For us it was great, i would of liked an additional blanket or throw and maybe some larger towels. The only thing i would consider to advise people is the road to the cottage although well maintained is a long way on stones. You need to be able to either drive up this road or walk it to get to nearby walks.

Really lovely spot ideal for exploring both Yorkshire moors and coast

For the 2 of us plus the dog the cottage was lovely and well positioned for everywhere we wanted to go and visit. The kitchen and living room was spacious with everything you need, the bedroom was comfortable and the bathroom had the best shower. Was a real treat having the hot tub after being out all day. Couldnt fault it at all and would definitely stay ago if in the area.

Sandra

We had a lovely stay here. The cottage is lovely and very well appointed the owners of the cottage live on site as it is a working farm and they are a lovely couple very friendly and we felt really at home here. When we go back to the area again, we would definitely book this cottage. We wouldnt want to stay anywhere else. if youre looking for a lovely quiet place to stay, I can highly recommend crab cottage. I dont think anyone could fault it.

Graeme

Lovely place very friendly would definitely recommend

Kathryn

Immaculate and well laid out cottage in idyllic location. The hosts were very attentive to our needs and very friendly. We really enjoyed the comfort and peace thank you

Nothing could better, a credit to the owners.

We had a fantastic stay at Crabtree cottage. Very clean. Facilities all that you need. And the extra essentials eg milk dishwasher tablets and cakes even salt and pepper were a great extra. They let us use the field which was lovely for the dogs morning and evening stroll. Very quiet and relaxing location.

The cottage was quaint and very nice. Just as shown on the pictures but a bit too rural for me . The track down to the property is not the best and your car will be covered in dust as was mine. Be careful of the hot tub lid as the space around it is very private but the lid isnt like one Ive seen before and it almost fell onto my partners head as we sat in it. Not far away from Scarborough which was a bonus.

Olivia

Absolutely beautiful cottage and the location was perfect! The view is unreal and hot tub was great. The whole stay was absolutely brilliant it was everything it was advertised as and more. The owners left us with milk in the fridge and welcome muffins along with all the essentials tea coffee etc. Kitchen was very well equipped. I would say that If you visit with a dog who may be reactive to other dogs to be extremely careful as over the course of the 3 day stay we had 7 different dogs off the lead outside the cottage this is to be expected as is on a farm however did put us slightly on edge as our dog is reactive but we had no issues just double checked no dogs around before we let him out. All round fab stay.

Bethany

Really enjoyed our stay, would 100 be coming back. Thankyou

Louise

We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful, very well equipped cottage. The hot tub was fantastic, would highly recommended

A wonderful place and location. Very comfortable and owner friendly and helpful. We will return.

Nicola

Crabtree Cottage is a beautiful, peaceful place to stay. The cottage is very spacious and clean with an openplan living room and fully equipped kitchen. We travelled as a couple and had a fantastic time, especially with the bonus of the hot tub! Loved watching the sheep and lambs in the field outside and the owners are friendly and welcoming. It's close to both Scarborough and Whitby with lots of little hidden gems round about. We would definitely stay again! Highly recommended

Michael

Beautiful cottage spacious but no table or chairs to sit outside the road down to the cottage is appalling very rough no instructions on how to use cooker shower although very good slow to drain away settee too low needs replacing feels like kids have jumped all over it you sink into it not comfy to sit in no support nice gesture from owners though leaving milk n bread for you a bit disappointed to be honest in my stay came home on 3rd day

Loved our stay in January 2023! Booked again for December!

Really lovely cottage, very well equipped, beautiful location, with lots of walks and a brilliant hot tub. Have recommended this place to quite a few friends. The people we saw were all very friendly.

The cottage was wonderful! The inside was done to such a great standard and was so homely. The location was fab, a short drive to Scalby which was lovely with a nice pub and cafe. We loved our stay, it was perfect for our first family trip away after having baby Nelly in September. Loved it and will be definitely be back!

Denise

Loved it so much we booked it again for next year. Everyone was so friendly.

We had a lovely week at crabtree cottage, a fantastic base for the seaside, Scarborough Bridlington whitby robin hoods bay filey, & the hot tub was a lovely end to the day, we will definitely book again Thankyou Phil & Amanda & George

Excellent property, set in the peaceful North Yorkshire moors. I highly recommend this property its well worth the money.

Beautiful location Very quiet and peaceful Cottage exactly as shown Ideal base for touring the area

Whilst the Cottage and surroundings were lovely it needs a good overhaul regarding storage and cleaniness. Every cupboard,draw was filled up with paint. Brushes. Christmas decorations. Fire blanket was under the sink instead of the wall. No sign of any appliance having been PAT tested. The TV has a large white spot on the screen making watching difficult. Information pack was minimal. Mattress has come to the end of its life as very creaky and lumpy. A little more attention to detail would make this cottage wonderful.

Rodney

Crabtree Cottage was. Fantastic place to stay. Everything in the cottage was too a very high standard, the best in our opinion that we have ever stayed in.The position was ideal for those who like the peace and quiet, all be it the sheep were in the field opposite. There was a welcome pack, and the owners couldnt have been more helpful, we thoroughly recommend Crabtree Cottage, we had a great ,relaxing time, and our dog was in his element on the farm. Rod & Anne

We really enjoyed our stay here in this lovely cottage. The location was perfect for walking and cycling from the door . Everyone we met on the farm was very friendly and welcoming and it was such a peaceful setting. The cottage is one of the best equipped ones we have stayed in, the owners have designed it well and the hot tub is an excellent addition. So, definitely five stars from us for a great holiday.

Family fun attractions include the 4D cinema, the lost river ride and the Little Monsters Den of Mischief.
