Robert 
“Lovely cottage in a lovely location.”
Loved looking out the French doors and watching the birds and sheep. On arrival it was lovely and warm, which was nice this time of year. The two risers and recliners chairs were a bonus to us as it made it easier for my elderly father to get up and out of the chair. If you go with children there are plenty of jigsaws, board games, lego and dvds. The only little thing I could suggest it could do with is a stand for the draining board and that's only because I prefer to wash up by hand instead ...

If you go with children there are plenty of jigsaws, board games, lego and dvds. The only little thing I could suggest it could do with is a stand for the draining board and that's only because I prefer to wash up by hand instead of using the dishwasher. The saucepan set could do with looking at as the nonstick coating is quite scratched on some of them. I will be booking this cottage again in the near future.

Michael “Middlegate is a definitely one of the very best holiday accommodation we have stayed.”
It was very comfortable and clean, the bungalow has everything you could ask, the owners left you to enjoy your holiday but were very friendly and there if you needed anything.

Tracie “This property was certainly everything you could have asked for.”
Shower powerful too which I didn’t expect. Beds lovely and comfy and very cosy when heating or fire on. Unfortunately we were there when storm Babet hit and had to spend a day indoors. Plenty of room for 5 of us not to get on each others nerves. If I could have changed one thing about property it would be for TVs in bedrooms as 5 of us didn’t want to watch same thing in evenings. Thank god for the wifi. I would definitely come back here. So relaxing with sheep as your neighbours.

Kathryn “The cottage is lovely and it's location is beautiful.”
The cottage has everything you can think of for a comfortable stay and It's in a great location for York and the seaside towns of Whitby and Scarborough. There's lots to do within a few miles and really nice country pubs to eat and drink at. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again in the future.

The property was spotless and very comfortable and very well equipped. The house is in a very peaceful and tranquil part of Yorkshire but is ideally situated if you wanted to explore further afield.
