“We had a wonderful break at Foxglove Cottage.”

It was perfectly positioned for all our day trips and a short stroll from the pretty village. The furniture, including the bed, was comfortable and we loved the decor, which made us feel cosy. Our only small suggestion would be a larger mirror on the bedroom, as once we had showered it was impossible to see in the bathroom mirror. Fantastic stay and we hope to be back soon for more drives and walks in the glorious countryside. .

“We had a small problem with a tap on entry but within minutes it was sorted out in a pleasant way.”

It’s our second stay at this property in a delightful village where I was lucky enough to watch the aurora dancing across the village.

A rare find, thank you so much.

“The location is great and the cottage is well decorated and fitted out.”

The outside is good but there are a few issues which would put us off booking it again. - the lighting particularly in the bathroom was poor - it needs a mirror in the bedroom the only mirror is the one in the bathroom which given the lighting was pretty poor - there was nowhere to sit down and eat indoors, there was a table but only really one chair to sit at it. The outdoor eating area is great but not much good in poor weather It does not need much done to it to rectify these things and it would then be a very good place to stay

“We really loved our stay in this little cottage, the cottage has been finished to a high level with comfortable furniture.”

It is in a great location to relax for a long weekend. We enjoyed dinner at the nearby Pheasant Hotel and walks along the river to Nunnington and chilled in the yard in front of the cottage. A couple of things that could be improved... the check-in and check-out times are not great, 6 pm check-in is very late. The dining table is not very usable and it would be great to be able to use some of the gardens of Holly Cottage as sitting in the sun on a bench is not the same as a bit of soft grass. But overall a great experience with some small improvements to make the stay even better.

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Foxglove Cottage, the only feedback really is that there was no welcome book, e.”

G. how to operate the boiler etc. there were no instructions from the owner with regards to how to leave the cottage, we used our own initiative and stripped the bed and left the sheets and towels on the bed ready for cleaning etc. apart from that we had a great holiday

“Sykes Staff have been nothing but friendly and accommodating, they were not to fault for our unsatisfactory stay.”

The property however had dust webs left in corners (despite cleaners) and offered no QR code/Covid guidelines, no antibacterial hand wash or sanitiser (good job we took our own). We were greeted by a wasps nest by the front door obviously using the property’s roof. The door with its large double glass windows offered no privacy from passers by using the shared drive and communal laundry room given the fact the shower and toilet were right behind it which resulted in us having to hang a towel over the door. The pictures of the garden were misleading. It clearly shows a grass area which had been cordoned off and belonged to another property which only left the stoned area you see in the pictures which would have been fantastic if it weren’t for the fact they are not friendly to the paws of our fury friends which meant our pet friendly get away wasn’t in fact so pet friendly at all and his off lead play time went out the window. The directions to the property are not clear, even using ‘what four words’ we had difficulty. In the end we were forced to contact Sykes which then had to contact the owners who added another couple of steps to the directions. Frankly if it weren’t for the fact we had to rely on a family member for travel and our signal was so spotty we never would have stayed.

The property

Nestled in the quiet Ryedale village of Harome is this romantic single-storey retreat, Foxglove Cottage.

The exceptional accommodation offers a welcoming base for a couple looking to explore the North York Moors National Park.

Be welcomed into a private front patio area, complete seating where you can enjoy an afternoon picnic on a summer's day, whilst a communal laundry room rests to the side of the property.

Step inside this attractive holiday home and admire the themes of ocean blue throughout as you explore the well-equipped kitchen and living/dining room, two quaint spots where you can rustle up a delicious home-cooked meal for two as you delight in an intimate date night over a bottle of wine before snuggling up on the sofa, letting the electric fire create a romantic ambiance.

As the evening draws to a close, withdraw to an inviting double bedroom with a hot cup of tea as you curl up with a good book, whilst completing the interior, you'll find a sumptuous shower room with a spacious walk-in shower for your morning soak.

Get better acquainted with your surroundings and roam around the ancient cobbled streets of Harome, finding two award-winning inns, one with a Michelin starred restaurant, here you can enjoy a night away from the kitchen for an evening of luxury.

Pick up some local delicacies from the nearby farm shop in Beadlam, or venture further afield into the market town of Helmsley where you'll find a lovely selection of independent shops, supermarkets, restaurants, bars and delicious delis, as well as historic attractions at Helmsley Castle, Duncombe Park, and the National Centre for Birds of Prey.

Explore the rural beauty of the North York Moors National Park with a plethora of walking, cycling and hiking trails for outdoor enthusiasts, or enjoy a classic day at the beach at the seaside town of Scarborough further afield.

Alternatively, discover the amazing city of York for a day of jam-packed fun with fantastic amenities and must-see attractions at its gothic-style cathedral, Castle Museum, JORVIK Viking Centre, and the York City Walls.

Enjoy a romantic escape with your other half at Foxglove Cottage.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
