“We really enjoyed our stay in Jenny’s cottage.”

It was comfortable, cosy and surprisingly spacious - it sleeps 6 comfortably (3 bedrooms) - and has a generous sitting room with a dining area. It also has a good-sized garden. The maps, books and local info were a lovely touch. It really had everything we could have wanted as well as an excellent location at the heart of the village.

“A lovely cottage ,nice and comfortable bedrooms and good bathroom.”

Lots of hot water. The garden was a bit unkept and could do with a bit of attention. Osmotherley is a lovely and friendly village with 3 pubs. It is difficult to park near the cottage

- Christine, June 2024

Thank you for your feedback, we're so pleased that you enjoyed your stay in Jenny's Cottage and found it so comfortable. Although you only had a short time in Osmotherley you found time to explore the village and hopefully got chance to walk out on the moors. Regarding your comment on the garden, our gardener is currently on holiday so I'm sure he will sort it out on his return. We hope you took the opportunity to sit out on the patio which is lovely for breakfast and tea when the sun shines. Have a lovely summer. Property Owner
Amanda May 2024

“Great cottage, clean, warm and cosy.”

Comfortable beds. Kitchen lacks some equipment, sharp knives and more cooking trays, saucepans would be appreciated and parking can be a problem but this has been noted before. Superb situation in village, walks from the doorstep which the dogs greatly appreciated. Lovely shops nearby. We had a super week away and would recommend.

- Amanda, May 2024

Thank you for your feedback and very positive comments on your stay in Jenny's Cottage. We have now replaced the sharp knives with a new set and there is a variety of saucepans and cooking trays in the cupboard to the left of the oven. Parking is always a problem in Osmotherley at weekends but there is normally space on the lay-by in Back Lane which is only 50 yards away and parking then eases once the day visitors have gone home. As you mention, the facilites in the village are excelllent and the walks from the doorstep emphasises the excellent location of the cottage for visitors with dogs. We hope you enjoy the rest of the summer. Property Owner
David April 2024

“We, including our 2 dogs, loved Jenny’s Cottage.”

Any parking issues were perfectly manageable, and the cottage was peaceful and quiet - especially considering how busy Osmotherly can be. We were warm and comfortable, and there was all that we needed - apart from a sharp knife! It’s lovely!

- David, April 2024

Thank you for your feedback, we're so pleased that you enjoyed your stay in Jenny's Cottage and were able to take full advantage of the many local walks for both you and your dogs. Osmotherley is a beautiful village and very welcoming with several excellent pubs and cafes which I'm sure you also enjoyed. You will be pleased to know that we have now replaced the sharp knives with a new set, so hopefully you can enjoy the cottage even more if you get chance to visit again. Property Owner

“Jenny cottage is a well equipped cosy property for a relaxing break.”

Its in an ideal location for lovely walks with local pubs that serve great food. We would certainly visit again

- Yvonne, April 2024

Thank you for your comments, we're so pleased you enjoyed your stay in Jenny's Cottage and were able to take advantage of the lovely local walking and the excellent food available in the village pubs. We look forward to the possibility of you staying at the cottage again at some point in the future. Property Owner
Nigel February 2024

“Spacious cottage close to village centre.”

Excellent local pubs & village shop. Great location for walkers. Enclosed rear garden great for dogs. On street parking. No doubt busy in summer months.

- Nigel, February 2024

Thank you for your comments and positive feedback on Jenny's Cottage itself. As you say, the local facilites for eating out or buying food from the village shop are excellent and there are many walks which you can take directly from the cottage. Hopefully you will have chance to visit again in the summer when the weather is kinder. Property Owner
Andrea January 2024

“Had a really nice stay at the cottage.”

Great location for everything in the villages, local walks, Lady Chapel etc. Communication before going to the cottage from the owners was really good and very accommodating. There were only 4 of us that stayed and does say sleeps 6 but I would say we would have been a bit pushed for comfy seating in the lounge if were more of us. Otherwise everything was lovely and enjoyed our stay.

- Andrea, January 2024

Thank you for your feedback and we're glad that you found the advance information useful in planning your holiday. Also for your positive comments on Jenny's Cottage itself - hopefully you were able to enjoy a warm log fire when you returned from your winter walks. Perhaps you will have chance to visit again in the summer when the weather is better and the heather on the moors is at its best. Property Owner
Jennifer January 2024

“I found it an ideal base as a walking holiday.”

I found the room cold so was pleased with the heater and blanket. To put the heating up made the bedroom too hot. The thermostat was broken so couldn't turn it down. I didn't want to mess with open fire which no doubt would have made room warmer. I like free view but reception was very poor so wasn't a lot I could watch. Pub food and fish shop serve good food. Shop sold all I needed and the sisters are lovely people.

- Jennifer, January 2024

Thank you for your feedback and your positive comments on the cottage itself. We're sorry you had problems with the heating and would have certainly come to sort it out if you could have let our local manager know. Regarding TV reception, although Osmotherley is only 10 miles from the Billsdale transmitter, the village is in a tele-shadow so using satellite TV is really the only option and works very well with full instructions in the black Welcome folder. Glad you enjoyed the excellent food available in the village and from the village shop and hope you have the opportunity to visit again during warmer weather. Property Owner
Janet September 2023

“Jenny’s Cottage was ideal for us and the owner very helpful when we couldn’t work the heating!”

Our lack of expertise, not his! A lovely house in a beautiful setting of Osmotherley. Well recommended.

- Janet, September 2023

Glad you enjoyed your stay in Jenny's Cottage. We've just had a new boiler fitted so the thermostat needed a bit of explanation for those not familiar with that type but all working well. The village is always very scenic and as we approach autumn the changing colours of the leaves on the trees makes it even more attractive. We hope you get chance to revisit to see it sometime. Property Owner
Julie September 2023

“Had a very comfortable stay.”

The property was perfect for a holiday with our two dogs and has plenty of roo. for four adults. The village was quiet and friendly. Lots of great walks on the doorstep. Parking was not always available outside but we didn't have any problems finding space close by. The pubs in the village served excellent food and the local shop was well stocked and friendly. Will be revisiting...

- Julie, September 2023

So pleased you enjoyed your holiday in Jenny's Cottage and that you had the opportunity to explore the local countryside while walking your dogs. As you say, the food served in the three pubs is excellent and very good value, especially their Sunday roast and the local shop is well stocked with everyday needs and the staff there are very friendly and will answer any questions about the village and local area. Hope to see you again in the future. Property Owner
Marie August 2023

“A plain but nice cottage.”

We had a comfortable and pleasant stay. Beautiful area with all that you need only a short walk away. I found that the kitchen could have been better equipped with a larger array of cooking equipment, if we hadn't taken our own pressure cooker, frying pan and wok I feel that we would have struggled to cook the kinds of food that we prefer to eat - spaghetti bolognaise, stew and curries etc. -- for our family of four never mind a family of six. We couldn't get the tin opener to work so struggled to open cans. There also wasn't a useable potato peeler so we struggled to peel vegetables (which wasn't ideal as I struggle with hand disabilities) we did though mention this to Kristen when she came to do changeover cleaning so perhaps this will now be addressed for future users. We also mentioned to the property maintenance manager about the light over the back door which he said no-one had mentioned before -- we struggled to see our young dogs when taking them out for "toilet" at night, our dogs don't like torches either and the lights from the kitchen and bathroom weren't bright enough either (maybe consider a movement sensor light on the outer bathroom wall?) -- and he said that he would advise to get that changed. Kristen did mention that no-one had ever given them feedback like this before so I suppose this would be why these things haven't ever been resolved. One other thing we struggled with was parking as visitors' cars seemed to being parked anywhere they could find a space leaving holidaying people with nowhere to park. Has it ever been considered to remove the grassed areas in front of the cottages to provide off road parking for guests or would this be a planning permission issue? All in all a lovely week away for us and our two young spaniels

- Marie, August 2023

Thank you for your comments which we will certainly address for the future. We're so pleased that you enjoyed your holiday in Osmotherley and rated the cottage so highly on Comfort and Cleanliness. With regard to your suggestion of paving the area in front of the cottage, I'm afraid that is not possible as the cottage is within the North Yorkshire National Park in an area of Outstanding National Beauty so planning permission would not be granted. Parking is normally available directly in front of the cottage although the village can be busy on weekends when we recommend parking on Back Lane (only 50 yards away) until the visitors go home in the evening. We hope to see you again. Property Owner
Jill August 2023

“A lovely comfortable cottage with a pleasant enclosed garden, ideal for us with 2 dogs.”

The cottage is well situated in this beautiful village within the North York Moors National Park. There are excellent walks for any level straight from the door. The beds are really comfortable. There are plenty of places to eat in the village and there is shop just a few yards away. There are lots of places to visit in the North York Moors area including the coast. The Yorkshire Dales are also easily accessible. Nearby Northallerton has a market and some excellent Food shops. We look forward to our next visit.

- Jill, August 2023

Thanks for your endorsement of the cottage and pleased that you enjoyed your stay in Osmotherley. Certainly it's a great place to stay for people with dogs who like walking on the moors as there are plenty of walks you can do straight from the doorstep. And the pubs and cafe serve really good food, which you obviously enjoyed. Thanks again. Property Owner
Lynn March 2023

“Had a great stay at Jenny's Cottage.”

Very cosy and plenty of space. The beds were the comfiest we have slept in so far which makes all the difference to our stay☺️. Village was lovely and the surrounding area was beautiful all in all just the perfect retreat

- Lynn, March 2023

So pleased you enjoyed your stay at Jenny's Cottage and had the opportunity to experience the beautiful North Yorks Moors as well as the facilites available within the village. We hope you can stay again in the future. Property Owner
Hilary February 2023

“Jenny’s cottage met all our expectations and more.”

It was well situated for us close to some good walking and easy access to shopping in Northallerton. We enjoyed a very pleasant lunch at the Golden Lion. The cottage was well equipped , clean and comfortable - I would recommend and we hope to stay there again.

- Hilary, February 2023

Thank you for your appreciative comments about the cottage and the village. It's good that you were able to enjoy the many excellent walking opportunities on the beautiful moors straight from the cottage and we look forward to having you visit again at some point in the future. Property Owner
Colin August 2022

“Great cottage in a fabulous village.”

Plenty of walks for the dog and a park for the children. Lovely pubs in the village but very busy. ( you need to book a table in advance) Would definitely be visiting again.

- Colin, August 2022

Very pleased to here that you enjoyed your stay in Jenny's Cottage and found so much of interest in and around Osmotheley, including the excellent pubs. We look forward to seeing you again at some time in the future. Property Owner
Iris July 2022

“The washing line was dreadful.”

It was left in a heep under a tree in the dirt. We had to string it from trees across the garden. No clothes props and few clothes pegs. Could do better. Garden could have been lovely but it was full of weeds and had a large patch of nettles which wen wet drooped across the path. I pushed them back. The kitchen is small so I can’t see how you could fit a dishwasher but it would have been a advantage. Their is nothing you can do about the parking outside the cottage but it was a nightmare. We were in the position that we worried we couldn’t get near the cottage and cut activity’s short to get parked. We had to what till the pubs and restaurants closed to get parked. During the day’s walkers park hear too. If we had known we would not have booked.

- Iris, July 2022

We’re pleased that you found the cottage so clean and comfortable in your ratings. In response to your comments, we don’t leave the washing line set up permanently as most guests don’t use it. Parking immediately outside the cottage can be difficult at weekends but is normally OK during the week and there are always spaces on Back Lane just 50 yards up the road, as described in the Visitors Book. The beautiful local scenery and the popularity of the village for walkers and cyclists are the major reasons why so many people want to holiday in that area so I hope you had the opportunity to experience them too. Property Owner
Kevin June 2022

“Lovely cottage , comfortable accommodation.”

Great location in a pretty village lots of walks on the doorstep. Great pubs and fish and chip shop, quaint well stocked village shop.

- Kevin, June 2022

Glad you enjoyed your stay in Jenny's Cottage and the local walks around the village. We always use the excellent fish and chip shop and pubs when we're there and the village shop is a life-saver for your everyday needs. Hope you get chance to stay longer next time. Property Owner
Mary June 2022

“We had a fabulous stay, the cottage was very comfortable.”

Lovely village with beautiful walks, highly recommend the cafe which has delicious food including great Gluten Free options.

- Mary, June 2022

So glad to hear you enjoyed your stay in Jenny's Cottage and were able to take advantage of the beautiful scenery of the North Yorks Moors. Also good to know that the local cafe provides particularly delicious gluten-free food when often these options are severely restricted. We hope you get chance to visit again sometime. Property Owner
Victoria May 2022

“Fabulous holiday home.”

The village is absolutely gorgeous. 3 great little pubs. Best beer garden in the queens head defo. The house was very well equipped and almost had everything. We just found the kitchen lacked some equipment for using the oven. Trays for cooking would have been really helpful. Other than that it was great!!!

- Victoria, May 2022
Alison April 2022

“We had such a lovely stay at Jenny's cottage.”

Osmotherley is such a gem of a village, it is very friendly and there are amazing walks to be found as soon as you step out of the door, perfect for us with our pooch. The cottage was really welcoming and we felt a part of the village life. It was lovey to be able to come back from a walk and enjoy a sit in the sun in the garden.

- Alison, April 2022

So pleased you enjoyed your stay in Jenny's Cottage and could enjoy the sunshine both on your walks and then resting in the garden. Osmotherley and the moors have so much to offer - we hope you have chance to sample them again. Property Owner
Samantha March 2022

“The cottage was a perfect getaway.”

The village of Osmotherley has great amenities and we really enjoyed walking our dog on the footpaths around it and visiting all the dog (and child) friendly pubs. The play area a short walk away was a lifesaver for lazy afternoons. Many beautiful historic places under national trust were within a short drive away as well as the lovely villages of Northallerton and Thirsk. The cottage itself is simple and clean and the beds and sofa were so comfortable. We had everything we needed. The back garden was well enclosed for our dog. The only criticism I have is that I wish there was a clothes horse to hang up some washing. There is a makeshift washing line outside but it rained/snowed for the majority of our visit. With two young kids and lots of muddy clothes we really needed to get a few loads done and somewhere to hang it.

- Samantha, March 2022

Glad you enjoyed your stay in Jenny's Cottage and the opportunity to explore the village and surrounding area. Despite the inclement weather, there is certainly plenty to see and do - hopefully you can come back again when the sun shines and you can see the moors in all their glory. Property Owner
