“This lovely little hideaway is on a remote farm with absolutely no mobile signal, absolutely dependent on wifi for everything The owners of the cottage were very friendly and approachable.”
While we were there, the wifi had a major wobble, but they worked to solve the problem as quickly as possible. Norah's Nook is small and cosy, with a bath as well as a shower, which was very welcome after a long walk! There is also 2 loos, which was brilliant. The Kitchen is fairly well equipped, and the freezer is in a shed/utility room across the yard. There is an icebox in the fridge, though. There is no washing machine. On arrival the gift of eggs (laid by the chickens on the farm), milk, cookies, and prosecco was most welcome. We took half a dozen eggs away with us when we left. The info said they were for sale, but the owner of the farm didn't charge us. The wonderful thing about Norah's Nook is the animals on the farm - the aforementioned chickens, sheep, cows, ponies, and Alpacas! Both Norah's Nook and Erica's 'eaven have boxes outside with food for the animals in, and occupants are invited to feed the animals. We had the alpacas eating out of our hands - wonderful! You need a car to get to most places, but we found a railway station half an hour drive away in Castle Moor, and were able to catch a train from there to Whitby for the day. Car parking is free. There are several walks in the area, some which start from the cottage. We would definitely recommend this cottage, and hope to stay there again at some point in the future.
