“Our second stay at this lovely warm and comfortable cottage.”

The owners were very helpful, making sure we had everything we needed. The village was close to Helmsley, Nunnington Hall and other places of interest. Easingwold was a short distance away, with free parking, and there were regular buses to York and other nearby towns. A perfect cottage in a lovely area.

“The hosts were very friendly and helpful.”

The cottage was spotlessly clean, couldn’t fault it. Very importantly the bed was very comfortable. Situated to many tourist attractions. We had a really lovely stay. Would stay again when visiting the area.

“Ideal for people who enjoy walking and don't mind using the car to get around sightseeing but for the less active there is limited facilities as there not any village store within 3-4 miles for a paper or essentials so unless you have all you need it's restricted.”

Marion and John the hosts you will not meet a more welcoming couple, friendly, knowledgeable and the perfect hosts for a holiday break to relax and enjoy a rest.

“Lovely cottage in a quiet village with lots of walking routes in the area and very near to places of interest.”

Helmsley, Castle Howard, Ampleforth, York and several National Trust properties only a short drive away. The lovely cottage had everything you could need and was warm and cosy, ideal for a winter break. There was a bottle of wine and a lovely cake to welcome us to the property and the owners who were nearby are happy to help if you require any information. We can highly recommend this property

“Cartwheel Cottage was comfortable, clean, peaceful, and had easy parking.”

The owners were very helpful and friendly, and their four-legged family an added bonus! I queried whether there was a microwave or not, before arrival, as different websites had different information on this. There wasn't, but they put one in for my stay. For people with limited mobility but not wheelchair users, there is one small step up into the cottage, which I found perfectly manageable with M.E/CFS. There is a short walk from the car parking area to the cottage, but on one level and a hard surface. Wifi was non-existent within the property during my stay - the owners in their advertising are transparent about wifi issues - but I believe there would have been reception from in front of the house had I tried that. However the EE network and data was perfectly sufficient, and I managed to tether my iPad to my phone for those times when I wanted to check local online maps, opening times of places, etc. Nothing else matters while on holiday. I would happily return.

“A very friendly & welcoming place to stay.”

“8 dogs at property barking at night.”

Kennels outside.

- David, September 2021

Thank you for your feedback, we are really sorry that you were disturbed by dogs in a neighbourung property during your stay, as advised this was due to one of the dogs being in season and had caused a little bit of a stir with the other dogs, unfortunately this is beyond anyone's control. We are glad that despite this you did enjoy your stay and your days out whilst you were here and did take advantage of the all the amenities provided, including welcome hamper of homemade cakes, flowers and wine.

“Cart wheel cottage was the perfect location.”

“We have just spent a memorable week at Cartwheel Cottage.”

We were made to feel extremely welcome by the owners Marion, John and Jules. The cottage is excellent for two people who like ourselves enjoy the countryside and peace and tranquillity. It is well placed for exploring the Howardian Hills, Ryedale and the North York Moors. There are plenty of places to visit including English Heritage and National Trust properties as well as local attractions such as the Ryedale Folk Museum ahd the Yorkshire Arboretum. None of these attractions are very far away from the cottage. We will definately return to Cartwheel Cottage.

John October 2020

“The cottage was cosy, clean, comfortable, well equipped and very quiet everything you need for a relaxing holiday.”

Add to that the little extras such as the welcoming bottle of wine , cake and flowers. Jules, John and Marion were so helpful and know the area well making this a totally enjoyable experience. Highly recommend this property for visiting the area.

Paul September 2020

“We had a very pleasant stay in a very comfortable cottage.”

The hosts were very friendly and helpful. Cottage was well equipped, plenty of room for the two of us and well located to explore a large part of the moors and also the coast. RSPB Bempton Cliffs and RHS Harlow Carr are also within driving distance as is York. Although not a pub in Yearlsey there are plenty of eating options nearby to accommodate a range of budgets. We would thoroughly recommend this cottage and would return again if we came back to this part of Yorkshire.

Lynne July 2020

“The location was spot on.”

Beautiful and peaceful. The cottage was just perfect, clean, organized with a well thought out design . Attention to the finer things in life, such as quality silverware and a wonderful small dining table with fantastic chairs, pure class. The bed was unbelievably comfortable with luxurious bedding, it provided a fine nights sleep. The shower was first class, with the lovely added touches of shower gels, and toiletries. The wine and home made cake was amazing! But the most impressive part was the friendly welcome from Marion, John and Jules. They have gone above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. We have made a special connection with Murphy, the dog he's 17 years old, cute as a button with bags of character. We will definitely be coming back. Thankyou so much!

“It was lovely and clean, in a beautiful location.”

The owners were very friendly and helpful with places to go and eat. We had homemade choc cake, bottle of wine, of fresh flowers on arrival. Yearsley Wood was just up the road for a lovely walk. We would definitely stay again.

“A lovely property in a beautiful peaceful area!”

We could really tell that a lot of time, thought and effort went into making this cottage as cosy and homey as it is. Lovely facilities, including brand new kitchen equipment and fantastic shower. We really enjoyed the sweet welcome as well as the cake and wine. We had a really nice stay and would definitely consider returning.
