Leave ReviewA wonderful 3 night stay
By Asad Ahmed on 25-Feb-2025We had a wonderful three-night stay at this farm cottage. It’s in a nice, quiet area with plenty of open space outside, making it a great place to relax. The views were beautiful, and we picked the perfect time to go for stargazing. Helen was very prompt in communicating from the start, and both she and Dave were incredibly accommodating hosts. The cottage was comfortable and well-equipped, making it a great retreat for our family.
Probably the best we've ever stayed in
By Emma on 19-Feb-2025This was probably the best .....we've ever stayed in. It was a lovely place, clean and comfortable. Helen and Dave were so friendly and helpful, they had the heating and the lights on for us when we arrived even though it was really late. They even set up the travel cot for us. They check in regularly and give good local recommendations. The dog paddock is great to have and dog towels and bowls are provided. We saw loads of wildlife from our windows.
Outstanding - we felt like at home
By Deniz on 25-Oct-2024[Riccal Dale Cottage] was outstanding. We felt like at home. The location was nice and quiet and optimal for relaxing. You can do a lot in the area, but a car is a prerequisite here. We would definitely come again!
A lovely stay
By Sasha on 20-Oct-2024A lovely stay. Helpful hosts. The cottage is cosy with the Woodburner and comfortable sofa and beds. Good walk to Hemsley across the fields. The steam train from Pickering to Goathland is well worth doing and the circular walk taking in the Mallyan Spout.
Fantastic location, well equipped and cosy cottage
By Phil on 15-Oct-2024Fantastic location, well equipped and cosy cottage with nice views of the surrounding countryside. A dark site for those that like to star gaze. We enjoyed our short break and will definitely return.
Great accommodation, location and hosts.
