Hawthorn Cottage Reviews

Great holiday with fantastic views of the farm. Sheep and lambs roaming in the fields. Friendly farm dogs and hosts. Property of a high standard, modern mixed with old wooden beams. Very clean and 5 comfortable bed. Slept better here than at home. Loved the hot tub which was a big factor when I booked the property. Would definitely stay again.
I have really enjoyed the stay the only thing Id say is the shower seems to switch from freezing cold to boiling hot
Very comfortable and spotlessly clean cottage on a working farm, super quiet and peaceful and a good nights sleep on a really comfortable bed, lots of walking and cycling to be had from the doorstep with the added bonus of returning to a private hot tub to recover from the days activities! Scarborough and the coast is only a few minutes drive away!
Excellent property for a short break. Great location for us, well away from the crowds with only the countryside animals for company but close enough for a quick drive to great food pubs and the beach at Scarborough North bay. Didnt use to hot tub as felt a little closed in, would have possibly been better with bifold doors on to open up fully but looked clean and hot. great stay and will consider again.
Nicola
Beautifully located on a working farm surrounded by lush Yorkshire countryside. The cottage was spotless and equipped with everything we needed for a week away. Its not often I return to a place once Ive visited, but will definitely return. Highly recommended.
Went to the Cottage march 2025 for a long weekend lovely small cottage kitchen ... Went to the Cottage march 2025 for a long weekend lovely small cottage kitchen down stairs and bedroom living room an bath room all together up stairs looked nice and clean kitchen was good practically every thing you want shower had all mould in side round the base toilet seat was stained yellow needs a new one and big cobwebs from ceiling up stairs hot tub was secluded but after day 2 we were itching our skin of kept showering but didn't bother going in again my costume got bleech marks on it husband checked the flooting capsule it had 4 tablets in it to many chemicals
What an amazing home away from home! Wonderful location for exploring the coastline and bonus coming home to a hot tub every day would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful couple of nights away.
We had a wonderful stay at Hawthorn Cottage. The neighbours on the farm were very friendly. The location was amazing. We had lots of lovely walks with Charlie and then back to the cottage to chill out in the hot tub! It was a perfect few days. Thank you!
Absolutely amazing stay, it was so clean and tidy and looked brilliant. Hot tub was amazing. They left us milk coffee sugar and donuts
The cottage, was faultless extremely clean and very inviting. We had a fabulous stay, the location was perfect out the way, but near enough to Scarborough and surrounding villages. The cottage, had everything that we needed kitchen cleaning equipment, pots and pans, plenty of cups and glasses. There was an information pack, that provided information regarding the cottage and things to do.. The bed was extremely comfy and had a 3 brilliant nights sleep. The hot tub, was the icing on the cake. It was hidden in the little barn at the front of the cottage, the views were breathtaking. Would definitely recommend, and visit again.
What a lovely place to stay. It was our honeymoon and stayed for 4 nights. The cottage was so comfy and it's location idyllic. We will be visiting again for our anniversary next year. Highly recommended.
Beautiful cottage, beautiful location. Lovely to arrive to Mince pies, coffee,tea,milk
Absolutely beautiful place, cosy, quiet and peaceful. Hot tub amazing especially being in a private room. Would definitely come again!
Absolutely perfect weekend. The cottage was stunning as we're the surroundings. We will definitely be visiting again.

Donaldo
A lovely stay with very friendly people from track quite poor but axeable
Sandra
Owners so friendly, we enjoyed a quiet stay. Even left us milk and biscuits to have a cuppa. Thank you. Jacuzzi lovely, the only thing would have helped would be somewhere to put our clothes and towels on, apart from coat hooks and maybe a couple of plastic chairs to sit to get dressed. Would book again
Terence
What a fabulous stay, would highly recommend, management were friendly and helpful, very clean, bed was very comfortable, very clean, hot tub was fantastic, looking out the window with breakfast, looking at blossom the resident horse, was a joy. no complaints, will definitely be returning, Terry
The cottage was set in beautiful peaceful countryside , very clean and had everything we needed including a lovely hot tub . Very close to shops and amenities all in all a lovely relaxing break exactly what we needed thankyou .
Perfect cottage on a picturesque farm. Property is beautifully put together for everything you could possibly need for a get away. Amazing views across the fields perfectly positioned if you are looking to escape to the quiet of the countryside. We commuted to Whitby, Robin hoods bay, Scarborough and Filey just to name a few. So is ideal for anyone looking to beach hop. Being able to come home and relax in the hot tub after a long day of exploring just adds to the enjoyment of this beautiful holiday home.
Amandeep
The property was really clean, comfortable and homely. We really enjoyed our stay. So peaceful and relaxing! Loved the views! So much to do nearby! The hot tub was a bonus! Will be coming back!
Lovely property Views and hot tub were amazing! Would love to come back one day
Bethany
Really enjoyed our stay here! The cottage is perfect for a couple of nights stay. Picturesque views from the windows, our dog loved watching the sheep we even caught a glimpse into farm life when the farmers were moving the sheep. Hot tub was fab, we loved the little fairy lights inside and the window out to the fields. Something that the pictures are missing maybe they were taken before these improvements were made 1 the patio is now fenced off, which meant we could have the door open and our dog could be in and out as she pleased. 2 there is also a baby gate at the bottom of the stairs which meant our dog could be downstairs after a muddy walk and we didnt have to worry about her bringing any muck upstairs. Just brilliant all round, would definitely recommend.
Nicola
Glorious accommodation. Would highly recommend staying at Hawthorn Cottage. Its cosy, well maintained and in an area where you cant help but relax, a few dips in the hot tub also helped. We looked forward to our evenings here after days exploring the area, couldve happily stayed longer. Would definitely recommend
Etienne
The cottage was amazing, so comfortable and cosy. The location was breathtaking. To finish it off, the hot tub was an absolute pleasure day and night.
Melissa
I booked this property quite last minute and it did not disappoint. From pulling up to Hawthorn cottage, myself and my granddaughter were made to feel at home and were even allowed into the cottage early as it had been cleaned. The cottage was spotless, well equipped and extremely comfy. I booked an indoor hot tub as the weather had been dreadfull prior to arriving and typically we had lovely weather during our stay. We stayed for 2 nights but wished we had booked for longer, would highly recommend!
Adrian

To make the directions clearer The postcode provided took us to the village silpho We would not have found it if the lady at Folly Gill cottages hadnt gave us directions Also the sign sits back from the road almost in the hedge it would help if it was more visible Everything about the property was perfect
Richard
Lovely little place. Clean and comfortable. So quite and relaxing hot tub was amazing would definitely recommend
Amelia
Absolutely lovely property. Spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable bed and sofa, plenty of utensils, the water pressure was also nice and strong which is always great. Was nice and quiet, could hear the sheep every now and then but it was nice to hear them! Property owners were friendly but also kept their distance which was nice. The propertys drive was quite bumpy but didnt cause any issues for us. Unfortunately, we didnt get to use the hot tub it looked great as we were busy exploring the near towns such as Whitby Absolutely stunning, had a great time crabbing. We both highly recommend this place, was a lovely couples retreat. Thank you!
Wow! We have just arrived home from a long weekend at hawthorn cottage and I can honestly say this was one of the best weekends Ive had! Absolutely beautiful cottage, the location is amazing! The cottage is based on a farm with the view of sheep opposite! My little puppy loved watching them and even tried to go join them. Thankfully the owner Chris managed to catch her which we are so grateful for! We have visited a variety of lodges cottages in the last few years and we often find theyre out the way and we dont have much to do, but not this place! 15 min drive from Scarborough seafront which was amazing, so much to do around, we also visited a filey farm and Whitby! We are already looking to go again, just perfect! The cottage was actually a lot more spacious than I anticipated too, which was a bonus. The hot tub was lovely and it even has a little window you can open to see the beautiful view whilst relaxing. We really thoroughly enjoyed our weekend and I cant wait to visit again! What a weekend
Simply the best place we have stayed so far. The hot tub is the star of the show but the setting and the living space were just perfect. Would highly recommend.
Lovely house and a great base close by to places such as whitby and scarborough. The house is fully equipped and perfect for a relaxing week. The hot tub area did have quite an odour but that could be due to it being next to where the sheep stay on a night, I developed a rash from the hot tub which meant that I could not utilise it for my last two days.
Colleen
Beautiful, quiet, spotlessly clean. Comfy bed, hot shower, everything you need, and the hot tub....just WOW. There are noisy sheep cos you're on a farm, so you won't get a lay in, and the track to get to the property is long and full of potholes, so a heads up might've been nice as we turned up in our Mazda MX5, but cannot fault the cottage at all. Had a lovely stay.
Paulene
Absolutely beautiful place with lovely hosts. Will definitely be recommending to friends and family and will also be returning. So pretty and quiet, we even saw lambs being born outside our front door, such a wonderful experience. Cannot recommend enough
Louise
Bar the hot tub not being up to temperature the first day due to technical issues everything was up to par. We really enjoyed our stay
We had a wonderful stay. The friendliness of the proprietors, the superb quality of accommodation and tranquil rural location went beyond our expectations. It was a perfect base to explore wonderful places such as Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay, Filey etc. Topping things off, was a 10 minute drive or so to wonderful pubs serving wonderful food such as the 3 Jolly Sailors. Thank you for such a relaxing break. We look forward to a return visit
Robert Gordon
Would highly recommend to family and friends,the host were very friendly and couldn't do enough to help you . In lovely location very quiet and relaxing
