“Absolutely gorgeous cozy cottage in very picturesque location, Rosie was just lovely and made us feel very welcome x”

- Andrea, October 2024
Jacky September 2024

“Nice little cottage on the Yorkshire Moors.”

Lots of places to visit within an hours drive. Quite isolated and about 25 mins from nearest supermarket. Very peaceful. Never been asked to strip the beds before - an 11.00am departure would have been better as no time for a good breakfast before leaving !!

- Jacky, September 2024
Louise June 2024

“We have had a wonderful time staying at Swang Cottage.”

We went for a restful time. The Cottage was perfect. The surrounding countryside was beautiful. It was very well equipped. Everything thought about. Very comfortable beds. Beautiful wood burning stove. Very cosy. Hot tub amazing. Even robes we're provided. Wine eggs milk crisps and cookies also provided. We will be back.

- Louise, June 2024
Laura February 2024

“The cottage was lovely, the views werr amazing.”

The hot tub was divine at the end of the day. The only negative was the shower takes a while to warm up. But that comes with the territory of an old cottage. Rosie the owner is lovely, and had thought of everything for us and our stay. We would definitely stay again

- Laura, February 2024
Elaine January 2024

“Lovely relaxing cottage.”

There were 2 adults and dog. Enough room for us. Welcome supplies in the fridge a bonus especially the bottle of fizz. I managed with the ‘be patient’ shower for hot water. Out of Rosie’s control due to location I believe. Straight out of cottage and onto the moor. Hot tub was lovely to relax in especially after a long walk. Enjoyable week away from everyday life. Thank you Rosie

“A very sweet and amazingly well equipped little cottage out in the middle of nowhere in N Yorkshire.”

Inside, the ground floor is perfect. Cosy main room with comfy sofas, large fire, good furniture. Rosie clearly likes hearts. We counted 41 in this room alone ! Good kitchen with everything and more one could expect. And another (dinning?) room we never used. Unfortunately the much smaller 1st floor is not so good. 2 tiny bedrooms and a tiny bathroom is silly. Enough room for 1 reasonable sized bedroom and a bathroom? We used the twin room as a dressing room. Could never recommend as a 2 couples cottage. Getting in a hot tub in a hot tub at the end of a winter's day out is of course always sublime. The garden is ideal for a dog. Would we stay again ? Inside the cottage - definitely Yes. But it was just too isolated, meaning getting in the car every day. Loads of good walks around, but none close enough to set off directly from the cottage.

“13th to 20th October 23 .”

The cottage was lovely very clean and has everything you need and more . The hot tub was perfect and it's nice to have a roof over it for the rainy days . Rosie the owner is lovely very helpful and the views in and around the cottage are absolutely stunning its right on the moors and so peaceful. I loved staying at swang cottage and can't wait to go back next year . I have reviewed it on Google and added my own pics which I feel are way better than the pics on here . They really don't do the cottage justice

Leanne July 2023

“Lovely stay at Swang cottage.”

Perfect location. Pleasant cottage. Rosie was very nice. Would definitely recommend to others.

- Leanne, July 2023
Paul June 2023

“Absolutely fabulous cottage, there was nothing that Rosie hadn't thought of and provided.”

First time we have stayed somewhere with an unlimited supply of logs for the log burners, and fire pit - not just a starter pack. It was so peaceful, and the hot tub was a perfect way to relax after a hard day's walking - so easy to operate as well, no idea how another reviewer could complain about the lid...An incredible gem of a cosy cottage, simply cannot wait to return.

- Paul, June 2023
Karen April 2023

“Superb Cottage, well equipped with everything you could ever need and situated in a peaceful location with outstanding views of the Countryside.”

The owner really has thought of everything. The property is beautifully decorated and the hot tub is perfect for unwinding in after a days walking in the amazing countryside. Myself, hubby, daughter & two dogs had an amazing few days at Swang Cottage. We can’t thank Rosie enough for our wonderful stay, we only wish we’d booked in for longer. We will definitely be returning in the future.

- Karen, April 2023
Richard March 2023

“Excellent cottage, nice quiet location and fantastic views across the valley, tight for space upstairs and poor water pressure in the shower but otherwise a fantastic holiday cottage.”

- Richard, March 2023
Michael March 2023

“We have done many hot tub breaks, and this was the worst of them.”

Cottage downstairs was ok, but very small and cramped upstairs, back yard was very untidy with dead leaves and pine needles everywhere, first night there after a day out cottage was very cold and had to use blankets, when i spoke to owner I had to investigate the boiler which after a promt from me it transpired that someone had turned the radiator temp down, something that should have been checked before handover to us. No welcome pack upon arrival, a first for us, a a big no no. And first time in hot tub there is nowhere to secure the lid other than lean it up against posts, which to my surprise the wind blew it down and landed on my head, as i was on my own at this point, i perish the thought of what would have happened if it had knocked me out! Instead i suffered a very sore neck and shoulders for the duration, and even now, 3 weeks after it is still sore. Glad we only booked it for a long weekend

- Michael, March 2023
Phil February 2023

“We had a lovely couple of nights at swang cottage.”

It was really peaceful and quiet. The cottage has everything you need. The beds were very comfy and overall we had a good couple of nights sleep. Rosie is a very good host and was very helpful. We made the most of the hot tub to relax at the end of the day. We enjoyed our stay but would have liked it to have been longer. Would definitely return.

- Phil, February 2023
Miranda October 2022

“We had a lovely stay in Swang Cottage with our five month old puppy, who loved exploring the moors and beaches of North Yorkshire.”

The cottage is well equipped and cosy and owner Rosie is more than helpful. A fully-enclosed garden meant peace of mind for us, as new dog-owners. We watched some beautiful sunsets from the living room and marvelled at the stars from the hot tub. You can walk from the cottage right onto the moors and there is great walking from Glaisdale and the nearby villages. We will absolutely be back.

- Miranda, October 2022
Cora Linn October 2022

“Absolutely amazing stay, it was like a home from home and we couldn't have asked for more.”

We will definitely be back! The log burners made it so cosy. Watching shooting stars from the hot tub was definitely a highlight, the dark skies are incredible.

- Cora Linn, October 2022
Christopher July 2022

“Rosie presented a beautiful cottage for our holiday it was everything we hoped it would be and more and Rosie and her family are so helpful and kind.”

The location is amazing and so relaxing and quiet and the cottage is beautiful and homely. We would definitely return in the future.

- Christopher, July 2022
Wendy July 2022

“Loved our stay at swang cottage, so quiet and felt so at home there, hot tub was fab, even on the days it was over 30 degrees, I had mentioned to Rosie we were having a bbq and the next day a brand new shinny bbq was left for us, definitely recommend this cottage, our dogs loved the garden and walks onto the moors, thank you Rosie!”

- Wendy, July 2022
Joyce May 2022

“The cottage and scenery was amazing!”

The host Rosie is lovely. The cottage had everything you would need and want. There are some lovely walks and a lovely little pub in the village. The hot tub was amazing, but ensure you are aware the price you pay is not the final price if you want use of the hot tub and if you want to bring a pet. (We used booking.com) Overall, we have had a wonderful stay. Thank you.

- Joyce, May 2022
Ben May 2022

“Lovely cottage & facilities.”

Would love to stay again

- Ben, May 2022
Frank May 2022

“The owner Rosie rang me on the day of the holiday to tell me there was no heating she provided a small electric heater which only kept one room warm she also said she controlled the heating on her phone.”

on our arrival she complained about how much it cost to run the hot tub and also about how much Sykes Cottages take from what we paid. most of the pans were not cleaned so I had to wash up before most things could be used, the hot tub steps were full of leaves and had to be swept. I am sending this feed back from home as we left at Tuesday dinner absolute disaster is all i can describe it as .

- Frank, May 2022
Lynne May 2022

“Really nice & cosy cottage Rosie has everything you need.”

The view from the front window is amazing the whole area is so beautiful and so peaceful.

- Lynne, May 2022
Joanne April 2022

“Gorgeous cottage set in a peaceful village.”

Cottage is very well catered for and the hot tub is great to relax in. Good sized private garden - not overlooked. Off road parking outside the cottage is ideal. The Wi-Fi was really good too. Would highly recommend getting shopping delivered upon arrival, as the nearest general shop and butchers are a 10-15 mins walk into the village, and the pub is a mile away. Great location for visiting the coastal villages.

- Joanne, April 2022
Kenneth March 2022

“Rosie made us feel welcome from the start and we had a great time there.”

Cant think of anything we would change, I'm 6'3and the beds were no problem, I even managed the doorways quite well, it's a cottage I expected things to be different , but coped with the height.i would say that Rosie covered most things I could think of , log fire starter kit and central heating, all big pluses,after a day out. We loved it , definatly repeatable , cant thank Rosie enough for sharing her cottage with us for a week..

- Kenneth, March 2022
Jayne February 2022

“Beutiful cottage as described.”

Stunning location with wonderful walks. Cosy log fire and hot tub - perfect for a winter break! Rosie the owner very attentive and helpful - Will be back!

- Jayne, February 2022
Andrew February 2022

“Thank you for our lovely stay in the really quaint cottage on the edge of Glaisdale.”

Nice people in the village at the shop and wood supplier close to the cottage and Rosie the owner was really helpful. We visited with our 13 yr old son and WIFI was great signal for his gaming! Cottage is fab with hot tub and we loved the log burner. Fab little warm and bright room with dining table in it for mealtimes and nice kitchen. I forgot Tea towels and oven gloves but bought some nr Saltburn on one of our adventures out and about. It is no secret the beds and bathroom are small but we managed. We slept in the single beds, which are pushed together and son slept in small double and we were all comfy. Beds looked custom made for rooms and very high. Lovely place

- Andrew, February 2022
Colin January 2022

“A very pleasant venue at any time of the year.”

A great base to walk from when exploring the Esk Valley and having the delight of returning to the hot tub.

- Colin, January 2022
Gabby January 2022

“In general very clean but bathroom has some mould in shower the heater in bathroom has dust but the rest of the house perfect.”

In other properties let’s via your company we have had the basics provided such as oil and salt which we didn’t here . There was tea and coffee provided though and dog bowls Plates pans-utensils etc were perfect. Hot tub lovely and downstairs amazing upstairs we slept in twin room as main bedroom bed too small but we knew about this. Host was not available when we checked in but was great on the phone to make sure we knew how to get to the house but then persisted in wanting to come later to -we did not need further assistance- when she came she was lovely but we did not need we felt we couldn’t start cooking/relaxing etc In all the location and the cottage is amazing. Just the petty eye of hoteliers- we would recommend this place.

- Gabby, January 2022
Beverley January 2022

“What a gorgeous little cottage for the most cosy stay in the Yorkshire countryside.”

Rosie is lovely and met us on arrival to give us a quick overview of everything and assured us she was on hand if we needed anything during our stay (which we didn’t as everything was super straight forward). The location is perfect for walks and local pubs and the views are amazing. The hot tub and log burner are perfect to end a day of exploring, we really didn’t want to leave. The only thing I’d say is that the bedrooms are quite a bit smaller than they look on the photos but it’s really not an issue and we slept really well during our stay (I would say it would probably a bit tight for four guests though even though there are two rooms as we ended up using one room to store all our belongings). We will definitely be visiting Swang Cottage again and definitely recommend for a relaxing break.

- Beverley, January 2022
Angela January 2022

“This should have been our 3rd visit to Swang Cottage but just the same as everyone else due to the pandemic our January 2021 had to be transferred.”

Nevertheless our 2022 holiday was just perfect. I am a warden on a caravan park and all we like to do is chill for two weeks and this was just that. Rosie is the perfect host, nothing is too much trouble a phone call is all that is needed if you need anything. You have everything you need as regards facilities, the two log burners are a bonus, warm and cozy and ofcourse the hot tub was used every day! The views are spectacular from the front window and the addition of the fenced off garden was an added bonus not having to worry about letting the dog out in the dark. Looking forward to January 2023 for 2 more weeks to relax. Thank you Rosie x Angie and Jim

Carol August 2021

“The cottage was perfect except the bedrooms were so small you could hardly walk round the beds.”

Apart from this nothing to complain about at all.The owner Rosie was very welcoming and had obviously thought of everything you would need. The sunday lunch in the local pub is highly recommended.

David June 2021

“Cottage in a good location, however, don’t feel that photos do the cottage justice.”

We was disappointed and felt the cottage lacked some TLC. We found a few faults that we felt could be rectified inside the cottage. Some of the lights weren’t working in the lounge, the garden had weeds and dead flowers and also a table that looked like it had been dumped there with the chairs around the side. Barbecue was filthy and we didn’t see a fire pit ( which apparently was advertised). Lights around the hot tub didn’t work, 2.plug sockets in the lounge not properly fixed to the wall. In the double bedroom there was 2 fittings handles on the wardrobe missing which resulted in a screw sticking out. TV would only work on catch up. No live TV. Would we come back again ?? NO. We only stayed due to the good weather .

- David, June 2021
Alison May 2021

“Lovely cottage, has everything you need, Rosie the owner is extremely helpful & friendly.”

- Alison, May 2021
Matthew May 2021

Collette December 2020

“We had the most relaxing wonderful week away.”

The cottage is stunning & it has everything you need. Rosie the owner is wonderful & so helpful & friendly. She really did make us feel at home. The hot tub was broke, but Rosie had told us when we were travelling down, but she said she was having it repaired & by the time we arrived it was up & running. What a star she is. We would highly recommend Swang cottage to everyone & we will definitely be back Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year xx

- Collette, December 2020
Tracy September 2020

“Rosie the owner was extremely helpful, with advice about the local area, good walks and facilities of the wonderful cottage.”

The location in our opinion was perfect ! We’ve rarely re booked a cottage but we will not hesitate to return here. The garden was perfect for our dog, and secure. The hot tub was a welcome addition and the log burner after a long walk literally from the door step made it in our opinion the best break we’ve had. A big thank you to Rosie for allowing us to stay.

- Tracy, September 2020
Carol September 2020

“We had a lovely week at Swang Cottage and would highly recommend this property.”

This is a delightful, cosy cottage in the middle of stunning scenery. We were met by Rosie, the owner, who was lovely and explained everything to us. Rosie was always available for any help we needed. All covid precautions are taken at this cottage. The cottage was extremely clean and hand sanitisers were provided. The cottage is beautifully decorated and very well equipped. Rosie has managed extremely well to achieve a perfect balance between retaining the period charm of the cottage and including everything required for our modern lives. The icing on the cake is the lovely hot tub which was wonderful after a day out! The views from the cottage are exceptional, especially as the sun sets in the evening. Turn left from the gate and within 200 yards you are on the Yorkshire moors. Turn right from the gate and you are a short distance from the lovely village of Glaisdale. The cottage is very well situated to visit coastal villages such as Staithes, Sandsend and also very near to Whitby. It is also well placed to visit other areas of the moors such as Hutton-le-Hole. Thank you Rosie for allowing us to stay at such a special place.

- Carol, September 2020
Alan August 2020

“A beautiful idilic cottage in a stunning location.”

Rosie could not have looked after us any better, and ensured that the COVID measures were well explained and catered for. Very happy holiday, with some great memories.

Kirsti January 2020

“Beautiful cottage, the pictures do not do it justice.”

It was lovely and homely, Rosie was a delight and we had the most amazing stay. Location was great, a good walk to the village and a short drive to the coast.

- Kirsti, January 2020
Angela January 2020

“Fantastic Cottage, owner Rosie couldn't have done more, there to meet us and gave us a tour.”

Equipped brilliantly in the kitchen and throughout. Logs for the wood burners only a phone call away and delivered. Hot tub absolute bonus very relaxing. Dog friendly lovely back garden high stone built wall jack is a German shepherd he could see over it and there is a shear drop into a farmers field with sheep, but was safe. Only moan and more down to us as spoilt at home, with a water bed, the double mattress was very hard but the hot tub was there to relieve. This holiday was aimed as a relaxing break as being in the Leisure industry we hadn't had a break since last January, it was certainly that, but the scenery and walks that was available was in plenty. We have booked again for next year cant come quick enough. Well done all concerned.

- Angela, January 2020
Catherine December 2019

“It was private and quaint.”

- Catherine, December 2019
Emma December 2019

“The cottage was absolutely fantastic And really well located for day visits to nearby seaside towns.”

Rosie was so warm and welcoming and made us feel at ease in the home straight away and making sure we knew she was not far away if needed. In summary; Beautiful setting, great hot tub to be enjoyed even in cold and drizzly weather and a lovely wood burning fire for enjoyment. The cottage was so quaint and beautifully decorated for Christmas. Even my 6”4’ husband coped with the shorter than usual beds so enjoyable and comfortable was our 2-night stay! We look forward to returning again!

Rebecca October 2019

“A beautiful cottage that is both very clean and charmingly decorated, it is in a fantastic position we would highly recommend it.”

Rosie the owner greated us warmly on our arrival, and told us a bit of the history of the property, we have already booked our return visit.

- Rebecca, October 2019
Josephine August 2019

“We loved Swang Cottage.”

It was clean, cosy, comfortable in a brilliant location to visit beautiful places, with or without getting in a car. It was well equipped. My husband & I are both shorter than average, but nonetheless, our feet hung out of the double bed at night. I think this is because the pillows on the double bed were as hard as rocks. If they'd been softer, we'd have been able to stay in the bed better. This is a minor complaint as the cottage is great & our holiday was fabulous. Just a possible tip to keep future visitors happier. We might well return.

- Josephine, August 2019
David July 2019

“Had a great week at Swang Cottage, Rosie met us when we arrived and gave us a tour of the cottage and all the info required to have a trouble free break, good pubs within local area for eating out and a great base for visiting local seaside towns and walks on the moors.”

The hot tub makes a great addition to the facilities on offer, defiantly would recommend Swang Cottage and thanks to Rosie.

- David, July 2019
Caroline July 2019

“I can’t recommend Swang Cottage enough.”

Rosie was so welcoming & it really was a home from home. We really enjoyed the hot tub & the dogs loved the enclosed garden. We made the most of the local area, as there are lots of walks & pubs a short drive away. We’ll definitely be back!

- Tara, April 2019
Kelly April 2019

“The cottage was absolutely beautiful.”

..a little paradise! Rosie couldn't have done enough for us and made is feel so welcome on our arrival. The little personal touches were also really thoughtful. The whole place was immaculate and so wonderfully furnished. I felt like I was in a hotel! Rosie had thought of everything. The moors are literally on the door step and the scenery is stunning. My dogs had the most amazing time as did my daughters in the hot tub!The local pub was great and the staff were so friendly. It was really easy to get around and we visited many parts of the local area, Robin Hood's Bay and Whitby were the highlights. Booking was easy and details on the website were spot on. I would most definitely recommend this beautiful cottage and sykes. I've never had a bad holiday with you! Thank you

- Victoria, April 2019
Charlotte April 2019

“The host was really polite and the cottage was fantastic.”

It had so many thoughtful extras and set in such a beautiful location. The hot tub was perfect addition the a wonderful week away. The pubs are at least a 30 min walk from cottage and being a couple who are tall the beds are small! (We didn't realise how small!!). Also if you take a dog please ensure they have some sort of tick prevention. We found a tick in our dog which was stressful. Overall would recommend and fab!!!

- Charlotte, April 2019
Hilary March 2019

“Lovely comfortable and cosy cottage in a peaceful area with beautiful views.”

Had everything we could possibly need, the hot tub was a great way to relax in the evening under the stars and garden is fully enclosed and private. Within easy reach of Whitby, Sandsend and Goathland and can walk on the Moors from the doorstep. Received a lovely welcome from Rosie (the owner) and she is on hand should you need anything. Highly recommend and hope to return next year.

Jenna January 2019

“What a beautiful cottage right on the Yorkshire Moors.”

The photos didn’t do it justice and definitely exceeded my expectations. The host Rosie was really lovely and very helpful. There was everything we needed, she had thought of everything. The hot tub was the icing on the cake. Would love to go again.

- Jenna, January 2019
Craig December 2018

“Xmas holiday 2018.”

Could not fault our 5 day stay over the festive period. Rosie was there to meet in person and had the log fires burning away. Cottage was immaculate and decorated with a lovely festive theme. The festive hamper of goodies was a wonderful touch and extremely greatful. Cottage has everything you would ever need and more. We did a full Xmas dinner with no issues. Location is beautiful and amazing for walks right from the front door. Without doubt best cottage break ever been on. Rosie is a wonderful and generous host.

“Stayed for a wonderful week at Swang cottage, beautiful place in a stunning location.”

Spotlessly clean, very comfortable beds (we had the best nights sleep in ages) gorgeous decor and had everything there you could need for a week away. The hot tub was a fantastic addition, even in the cold weather! The moors are on the doorstep for some stunning walks and the location of the cottage is so peaceful. Highly recommend this cottage and the owner who was so helpful, we will definitely come back.

Suzie September 2018

“A beautiful dog friendly cottage set in the Yorkshire moors, with a fantastic hot-tub to soak in after a long hike!”

!!! We were made to feel welcome the moment we arrived as the owner met us to give us a quick guide around and show us how everything worked, it was immaculately clean and decorated to a high standard and equipped with everything you could possibly need. There was even a lovely welcome basket filled with flowers wine and essential items. Just over a miles walk from Swang Cottage there is a fantastic pub called The Board Inn which served amazing food and was also very dog friendly We will definitely be going back to stay again and would highly recommend Swang Cottage xx Suzie

The property

This delightful, stone-built, detached cottage is set in the heart of the beautiful countryside of the North York Moors, in Glaisdale village.

In an elevated position, this traditional property provides a cosy and welcoming base for families and friends to tour, cycle or walk through the magnificent heather-clad hills.

Oozing charm and character, there are exposed stone walls, beamed ceilings and crooked niches, with two warming woodburners to relax by after an active day.

There is a classic, well-equipped country kitchen, with a separate dining room and a comfortable, spacious sitting room with a splendid stone feature fireplace housing the woodburning stove.

Upstairs, the two pretty bedrooms and the family shower room, overlook the surrounding moorland with extensive views.

With bespoke enhancements throughout, the cottage provides a wonderful ambience.

French doors from the dining room give access to the rear patio and garden, with a luxurious canopied hot tub to enjoy, whilst admiring the panoramic views.

A few minutes’ walk brings you to the local shops, whilst the pub lies a mile down the hill, serving real ales and good food.

Glaisdale is in a superb location, with the River Esk meandering through it and an excellent network of public footpaths and quiet country routes.

With Whitby just a few minutes’ drive and the coast beckoning, this is an ideal family holiday spot.

About the location

GLAISDALE

Whitby 9 miles; Pickering 21 miles.

A peaceful village on the edge of the North York Moors National Park, Glaisdale is set amongst beautiful countryside in the heart of the Esk Valley. The village itself has a post office in the general store, an excellent butcher (famed for his pork pies) and one hotel/pub, with restaurant. Further afield, Whitby and the coast are just 9 miles away whilst the quaint moorland villages of Hutton-le-Hole, Lastingham and Thornton Dale and the market town of Pickering are all within easy touring distance. For something a little quieter, why not take a trip to the less-discover gem of Saltburn by the Sea, a charming, Victorian seaside resort. The terminus of the North York Moors Railway is at nearby Grosmont, inviting you to take a steam railway ride back in history through beautiful moorland scenery.
