Anniversary stay with dogs

Stayed a couple of nights as a base to go to the coast with our 2 dachshunds, location was very quiet and perfect for relaxing, property was secure for our pets, a couple of miles in either direction was a village with pubs, shops etc. Coast was only 20 mins drive. Overall a very pleasant stay...

A little GEM

Well this was a great find, the cottage is of an extremely high standard with all mod cons, bright and nicely decorated, and ideal for a couple & dogs. Set in the sleepy, tranquil village of Ruston , great for the moors and the coast. Sue and Neil are wonderful hosts with great knowledge of the area and nothing is too much trouble for them.

Scarborough/Whitby visit with the pooch.

Great location as a base to explore the area. Sue is a wonderful host and will help make your stay an enjoyable one. The property was lovely and maintained to a high standard and the welcome basket was a lovely touch. Like many of her previous guests we will be contacting Sue when we are again visiting the region. Thank you Sue and a big “woof” to Poppy!
