March 2020 – Pat & Ray, Surrey
Can’t think of a better place to isolate. Wonderful cosy cottage which has been so thoughtfully furnished and equipped. Very convenient position for York and the coast. Have had many wonderful breaks here and hope to visit again soon. Thank you again.

Had a lovely weekend, meeting up with friends. Cottage is so warm, cosy and very well equipped. Weather wet/dry/windy but we made the most of it. Went to Malton, Helmsley, Pickering. Ate every night at The Grapes; so convenient and given a warm welcome. Food excellent quality and good choices. Perfect

Our 4th visit to this magical cottage. The moment we arrive, we relax, it’s truely home from home. Visit Sewerby and Flamborough, fantastic walking along the coast and great cycling along the sea front at Bridlington. Ventured up to Sandsend and Whitby and enjoyed wonderful winter sunshine. Karen, thanks for making this cottage so special.

Our 2nd visit to Spring Cottage and loved it once again, a great home from home . We enjoyed the beautiful weather over the weekend and made the most of the garden. Had a lovely mean in the pub ‘The Grapes’; first class food, would highly recommend. Visited Helmsley, Pickering, and Malton. also visited Eden Camp for the first time and it is well worth a visit. You will need around 6 hrs to visit, but can go back for a repeat visit on your ticket within 7 days. We did it over 2 days as lots to see. Thank you Karen for the balloons and birthday cake for Damian and welcome pack. Didn’t want to leave your lovely cottage. Hopefully not be long ‘til we are back again.
August 2019 – Slater family
Had a lovely week here. Visited Castle Howard, steam train to Whitby (and Goathland), Robin Hood’s Bay, Filey, Malton. Our best day was in York (park and ride) – York Chocolate Story, Harry Potter shopping in The Shambles and ‘Swallows and Amazons’ at the theatre. So much to do round here! Thank you for the lovely cottage.
August 2019 – Karen, Nick Josh
We loved the cottage, great size and layout for what we needed, a real home from home with a good local pub. We enjoyed Countryfile Live, Pontefract races and the North York Moors railway along with lots of walking.
July 2019 – The Finch’s
Our 2nd visit to Spring Cottage and just as relaxing as the 1st! Amber loved hunting through the toy box and enjoyed the Polly Pockets, Battleships and all the outdoor toys. We loved eating at The Grapes in the village, The Talbot and the new pizzeria in Malton. Visited Flamingo Land, Filey, Robin Hood’s Bay, Eden Camp, Castle Howard and York. You think of everything Karen; this place is still the best cottage we’ve ever visited. Enjoyed the goodies that were left and will miss relaxing in your garden watching the pigeon nesting and butterflies flying around. See you again Spring Cottage!
Had a wonderful stay at Spring Cottage, everything you could wish for. Enjoyed North Yorkshire. We will be back. Thank you for letting us stay in your fab cottage. Pictures on internet do not do it justice!
Lovely stay in Spring Cottage with my husband and 6 month old son. Great place to explore Yorkshire. Went to Malton, Helmsley, York and Filey. Cottage ideal for babies and children. We will be back!
Our 2nd stay at Spring Cottage. The cottage was perfect – thank you for the goodies and all the extra home comforts – we wanted for nothing! (apart from a bit more sun perhaps…) We enjoyed Bridlington, Castle Howard, Nunnington Hall, seeing the steam train at Pickering, a bit of walking and a bit of relaxing in the garden. We had a lovely welcome at The Grapes – twice – a good takeaway from Malton Spice and huge sandwiches in Yo Bakehouse tearoom in Malton. Thank you.
Don’t look any further – this is the place to stay. Family of 4, we’ve had such a lovely time. Thank you. Everything has been thought of – showing just how caring the hosts are. Wow! Bedrooms super cosy and the garden was so pretty. Plus the swings are the icing on the cake!
Fabulous cottage, lovely garden, in a great location, lovely treats on arrival too – thank you very much!
A gem of a cottage! We have had a wonderful and relaxing week. We’ve enjoyed exploring the area in sunshine, wind and raid – and also just hiding from the rain in the cottage! Food at the pub in the village is also good -as was their welcome. We must return to see all the things we’ve missed – including the steam railway which has not yet opened for the season.
February 2019 – Sally, Stu, Sky and Cate
A gorgeous cottage with fabulous extra touches, thank you! We very much enjoyed our stay. Plenty to explore in the surrounding area and we managed to stay dry crossing the stepping stones at Egton Bridge! Off to Wharram Percy on our way home. Thanks again!
February 2019 – Alethea, Joe and baby Lily
We’ve had a wonderful week here at Spring Cottage – has been the perfect holiday before maternity leave ends 🙁 ! We do quite a lot of cottage breaks so are used to bringing lots from home with us but here you really don’t need to – there is everything! Lily loved the toys, books and swing. We loved the hamper on arrival and welcome information pack. Beautiful part of the world visiting Castle Howard, Whitby, Helmsley, Malton, Pickering and the garden at Spring Cottage of course! We would love to return again. Thank you.
December 2018 – Mary and Fred
Our second visit and again it was pure bliss. So cosy and comfortable, we didn’t mind the weather. Lovely food and welcome at the local pub and nice walks and fresh air. So lovely then to come back and chill in front of the fire with nice nibbles and wine!!
There is nothing we would change! We loved everything about the cottage, everything has been carefully considered and we loved the compliments on arrival, also catering to dietary needs. We will definitely return during warmer months as the garden is beautiful and in full bloom would be worth enjoying too. Thank you for our relaxing break.
We came for a couple of ‘girly’ days away and have thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The cottage is beautifully located and has every need catered for. We can highly recommend the village pub for excellent food and service. Will definitely be coming back. Thank you!
Spring Cottage was a “home from home” for the week – a perfect base from which to explore this interesting region and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Only one word needed to sum up Spring Cottage from its initial information pack through to its location, decor, fixtures and fittings, garden and welcoming owners …. Superb!
Lovely stay and everything we needed. Can be especially tricky travelling with little ones. Lots of toys, things to keep busy. Enjoyed our days thoroughly. Beautiful house, visited Flamingo Land, York Maze, Whitby, Scarborough beach.
