What our guests say…
"What a wonderful cottage! I have stayed in quite a few Airbnb’s around the world, and this is my favourite! Our own private retreat for a week, yet close to many places of interest. Everything provided that you could need (all of a good quality). We truly relaxed watching the lambs from the patio with a glass of wine!"

"The location is unbeatable for peace & quiet and outlook, but it is isolated. The road there is narrow and uphill. The Smithy has been furnished to a high standard. Instructions covering directions, access and local amenities were very comprehensive and easy to follow."

“Warm, homely space in a beautiful location! We were just pleased to find a place that was situated in the North York Moors and appreciated how remote it was. Christina was very helpful at providing all the information about the cottage. The cottage itself was warm, clean and wonderfully put together. Loved the original beams around! All in all, highly approved by human and dog! ”

"We had an amazing week away from everything in Troutsdale. The cottage is situated in the bottom of a beautiful valley. We visited during autumn and the colours were amazing. The cottage is much larger than the pictures show. We had everything we needed, including a great kitchen for cooking meals. The living area is really cosy and great for watching TV or reading. The bed was comfortable and the bedding was really warm, boosted by the under floor heating. We had a couple of messages with Christina who responded quickly. All in all it was a great week and I would highly recommend staying here."

"Wonderful location in a beautiful and quiet valley. Perfect as a base for walks in the North York Moors National Park. It's wonderful to sit on the patio on a sunny day and listen to the birds singing. Very clean and the linen and towels had also been washed at a temperature of at least 60C, which meant they were properly clean and fresh. Nice to have mini guest soaps to use. Appreciate your friendly and professional communications. Thank you."

"We loved the Smithy. Luxurious high thread count bedding and very comfy bed. Lovely well equipped kitchen and nice furnishings. Best of all peace and quiet. Nice view from patio with good walks. Great wildlife and lots of sheep. 40 minutes from Whitby (I have never seen so many fish and chip shops!), with Sandsend nice beach an extra 10 mins further for a less commercialised experience. Scarborough 30 minute drive. The place to shop and very commercialised but nearby Cayton bay a lovely beach and well worth a day spent. Stunning coastal views everywhere we drove. the Smithy makes a great retreat or a good base for a holiday."

"The cottage and scenery are beautiful. The cottage had everything we needed. We were only 30 mins away from areas of interest such as Scarborough, Whitby and Dalby Forrest. Cottage was very homely and modern but with a cottage appeal. Plenty of space for 2-3 adults and dog friendly which was a big bonus."

"Wonderfully renovated traditional Yorkshire cottage in a scenic and peaceful setting within easy reach of the coastal villages, forest and moors walks. Very pleasant and friendly company to book your holiday cottage with."

"Small but well designed accommodation that is very well equipped and clean. It is extremely remote and whilst places not far in terms of miles, due to the hilly, windy and narrow roads it does seem to take ages to get anywhere! Having said that if you are after complete peace and quiet and happy to do a bit of home cooking it is a lovely location, and whilst we were not so lucky with the sunshine the week we stayed, the 3 of us had a very restful break."

"A delightful return visit to this peaceful location in very comfortable surroundings., Thank you once again and we hope to return and will recommend your excellent company. Your standards in all direction are right at the top end"
