L’emplacement, la vue magnifique sur la lande, le calme ; très bon équipement.<br/><br/>Beaucoup de poussière !! Odeur de renfermé tenace malgré une aération quasi en continu. Gite déconseillé aux personnes allergiques aux acariens.

Really lovely cottage to stay in with family. Local village is lovely and walkable, the views of the moors are incredible. Very quiet and private, and brillantly located for beaches, towns, activities etc (all 1/2 hour drive or less)

The only noise is from the local wildlife which is a pleasant change from the sound of traffic. Beautiful scenery. Well equipped, very clean on arrival. Nice pub, farm type shop and bakery in the village( the bacon sandwiches are a must!) We had a great time exploring the local area.

Character filled and views<br/><br/>Nothing but co-ordinates are wrong and location of 42 on goggle maps is wrong! Make sure you read the directions with regard the location of the car park/lookout on the left before entering Danby coming from the north.

Beautiful spot, lovely cottage.<br/><br/>Only downside was a few low points in the ceiling which caught out the taller members of our group

Cosy cottage tucked away in the beautiful Cleveland hill. A beautiful property that unfortunately has really been let down by the hosts. <br/>On arrival we were greeted by a dysfunctional kitchen (hobs not working) and no log fire (no wood) . I understand that amenites can have issues however, what is done to address this by the hosts is my concern.<br/>I immediately raised these issues (particularly hob issue) with the hosts and their response was, we aren't willing to cover meal expenditure for the period effected and we shall send a technician out the following day to investigate. This never happened and we left the place on our departure date with the non-operational amenities the way we arrived. <br/>This was only resolved with Airbnb support intervention who really stepped up and took our complain seriously. <br/>Our family holiday ruined and I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to recommend Host & Stay as a host. <br/>Lastly, be careful not to fall into the hidden charges applied - read description

Beautiful scenery and lovely house.<br/><br/>WiFi was very intermittent and at multiple times just would not work leaving us with no signal as it was as very remote. Many of the contacts in the book were out of date. Initially we were told the admin fee for the deposit would be refunded as there was no mention of it in the booking. This has since changed but they would not honour the refund of the admin fee even though they said they would. Overall the person we messaged to here rude and left a bad taste in our mouth to what could have been a lovely stay as the house was lovely.

Absolutely beautiful scenery and location. We felt so relaxed and rested sat by the fire looking across the moors. We enjoyed a moorland walk everyday and loved coming back to the cosy cottage in a private setting. The kids loves their bedroom and many and adventure was had by them. Perfect lo action to celebrate my mums birthday before we head back to Australia !

A truly fabulous location with wonderful views, you can walk straight onto the moors. Ideally for a family with a dog. We will definitely be staying here again.<br/>It’s felt like home from home with all the extra luxuries you want for a country break.

Wonderful cottage in an idyllic location. Very well equipped and space well thought out. Never tire of the view and watching the birds in the morning was lovely - especially the resident pheasant! Can highly recommend.

What a wonderful house! So well equipped with kitchen things, toys, books and home comforts. We had such a lovely week. The views from the house are amazing and just hanging out there is a joy. We also found it very easy to get to both the coast and the moors. The location was excellent for family activities and the bakery, shop and pub all in walking distance was an added bonus. Can't wait to go back!
