About Wagtail Nest, Northfield Cottage

Scalby 2 miles. Nestled within the majestic North York Moors National Park, just five miles away from the bustling town of Scarborough, is this stone-fronted cottage, Swallows Nest. This romantic retreat is perfect for a couple seeking to explore the surrounding countryside and the nearby coast, or simply looking escape their daily routines for a couple of days. After enjoying the open countryside views, be welcomed into a well-presented property, housing all the essentials for a week-long stay with your partner. Enjoy your evenings within the open-plan living room, where you can rustle up a home-cooked meal within the amply equipped kitchen, before cosying up on the leather sofa, which rests in front of the Smart TV with Freeview. In here, you will also find a warming electric stove, which is perfect for those chilly winter months. The interior is completed by a charming double bedroom, which is benefitted by a double bed and a delightful interior design, as well as a stylish shower room with a wonderful retro tile design to enjoy. Throw open the French doors during a summer’s day and enjoy the wonderful enclosed garden, where your canine companion can stretch his legs whilst you dip into the bubbling hot tub for a relaxing soak after a busy day exploring. Despite the rural setting, the bustling village of Scalby can be found within two miles, where you will find a pub serving food and a couple of shops to pick up the essentials. To keep you and your loved one busy whilst staying at Swallows Nest, explore miles of walking routes through the National Park or the endearing North Riding Forest Park.

Angela
The cottage is home from home. We felt settled immediately. We received a warm welcome from Paul, the owner. There were bird feeders in the garden and we loved watching the birds and identifying them. It was so restful & peaceful. It was peace to come back to after a day out.
Elizabeth
A perfect, relaxing place to get away from everything. Ideal for the 2 of us and our reactive GSD. A lovely welcome basket of treats for dogs and humans much appreciated. We had an amazing week! The cottage is ideally situated to explore all over North Yorkshire. We loved the hot tub! Everything you could wish for in a holiday cottage we can't wait to return!

So enjoyed our week at wagtail cottage, so peaceful, beautiful well equipped with everything we needed, lovely welcome pack, hot tub brilliant, loved the walks from the cottage, and the wildlife, beautiful scenery in the local area, would highly recommend and would love to return
Nicola
Had a fabulous week here, a lovely welcome basket awaited our arrival full of goodies for ourselves as well as our dog. Everything you need in this lovely quiet spot.The hot tub is amazing, the garden is small but still big enough for a table and 2 chairs to enjoy the sunshine.There is a lovely paddock to exercise your dogs in.Despite being next door to the owners you never hear them, but they are available if you have any enquiries. Lovely place to explore the surrounding countryside and parks. We were lucky enough to see deer ,owls and bats. The only downfall is that it's a double rather than a kingsize bed, but that hasn't put us off as we have already booked to return next year. A great place to distress and chill out.
Enjoyed our holiday at Wagtail Nest , beautiful cottage nice area. Paul left us a lovely welcome pack . Loved the hot tub after our long walks. Would love to stay here again
Heather
We received a warm welcome and a full welcome pack. The hot tub was brilliant after lovely walks also loved the bird feeder ! We were very lucky with the weather. Thanks
Wagtail cottage provided an excellent base for us to visit Scarborough, Filey, Whitby and other local spots and being a couple of miles from the nearest village gave us a quiet and peaceful break which we wanted, Also the privacy the cottage gave made it easy to relax in the hot tub at the end of the day with views of rolling fields and distant bleats of sheep could not have been better, All rooms were perfect and clean with a well equipped kitchen. Paul was friendly and welcoming and made a nice fuss of our little dog, I would not hesitate to book this accommodation again. Thanks again.
Antony
Had a wonderful relaxing week great location fab cottage lovely owner hot tub great extra loved it thank you
The owner made us feel very welcome. It's only a personal preference the mattress was a bit soft for us otherwise perfect.
This is a beautiful little cottage, we've stayed here twice before and would definitely be back again. Just perfect!!!
This small cottage was perfect for our last minute winter break with our dog. Everything that we needed was there. Host was friendly and attentive if needed. Hot tub was great, and the cottage decor cosy and relaxing. Would advise arriving in daylight as the local area signal wasnt great, and affected Sat nav phone maps etc but the cottage is obvious from the road. Lovely stay and will go back as fantastic base for exploring Yorkshire coastline
Tracey
Had a lovely stay once again. Always made welcome
Had a wonderful stay over New Year. The cottage is warm and cosy, and after some wonderful daytime walks coming back to the hot tub was the finishing touch!! Enjoyed the cottage and exploring the area so much we have already booked our return visit which we do rarely!.
Millie
Absolutely fantastic. Was greeted with such a lovely warming of different treats. It was so very clean when we go there. Beautiful little house and perfect for a little getaway. I could not fault this place at all, in such a nice quiet location aswell.
Nichola
Lovely little place, but wasn't exactly clean in the bathroom. Toothpaste still on the sink and pink bacteria and mould in the shower. And thick grime under the shower tap that wiped off easily. Dust webs a plenty in the open plan kitchenfrontroom, and the bedroom and the kitchen sink had an orange rim round it from the last person who had washed up. Had to clean all this before I could relax. The bed needs a new mattress as its like sleeping on a piece of plywood and didn't have a mattress protector on it. And the pillow protectors were stained needed a wash. Lovely place with lovely views, but just needs a proper clean between guests.
Wagtail nest is compact but perfectly formed. We had everything we needed, and when we were a bit lost, the owner was happy to give us further directions. He also popped by to say if there was anything to just let him know! There were treats in the property when we arrived which was really sweet, and it was very dog friendly.
The cottage was perfect and had everything we needed for our short break. Paul met us on arrival and checked in to make sure everything was good. The location is perfect for exploring local areas, Robin Hoods Bay and Scarborough are just short drives away. We spent a day exploring the trails from the different parking areas on the side of the road, also highly recommend the walk down to Hayburn Wyke Waterfall. Lots of dog friendly pubs in the local villages to eat at. The cottage is cozy to come back to after a day walking. There was a little hamper on arrival including dog treats. And finally the hottub was the perfect end to a day exploring! We had a brilliant stay and will definitely return, thank you!
Lovely property with everything you could possibly need! Brilliant location, comfortable bed, super clean, hot tub was wonderful and the secure garden was even small dog secure no gaps! Lovely host who showed us around the property and made us feel welcome. Would stay here again and have already recommended to family. 1010
I literally cant rate this place highly enough. Everything we needed was there, everything was clean and tidy too. The welcome tray was a lovely touch and the hot tub, oh my goodness the hot tub was maaaarrrvellous. Paul knocked the door to introduce himself and answer any questions we may have had on the first evening but that was the last we saw of him. We could contact him should we have needed him but never did. It was quiet, peaceful and utterly wonderful. In the words of the poet and wise man Arnold Schwarzenegger, 'I'll be back'
Lovely stay, enjoyed the hot tub and visits to Whitby and Scarborough. Archie loved his free runs in the paddock. Many thanks for the hospitality tray.
Andrew
Nice place, well presented, convenient and quiet location, the welcome pack was welcomed and an excellent host. There is a paddock opposite for running dogs and a distance foot path along the adjacent fields for longer walks or morning and evening walks. Not a busy path. Location handy for trips to local villages and into Scarborough, Whitby if travelling into Whitby by car, I recommend the park & ride bus service and Filey The Country park is a good place to run dogs, picnic and walk into Filey.
Arthur
We had a great 3 nights at wagtail cottage,a very cozy,comfy place to stay,very relaxing,paul the owner was there if needed,a very friendly man. Our first time staying here but wont be the last.

We had a lovely stay at Wagtail Nest. The place was clean, tidy and comfy. A lovely place in a lovely part of Yorkshire.

I can't think of anything more to add to what we put in the visitor book except that it was the best location I could have wished for the welcome after we arrived was great and the treats for storm was very much appreciated as was the goodies and milk for the 2 legged visitor's Sharon couldn't get enough of the hot tub so with that in mind we will definitely be go back in the near future, thank you so much
Lovely relaxing stay. Great host on a working farm. Never felt so relaxed on a holiday. Will definitely stay here again. I asked Paul owner, if he has a fan we could borrow as it was 30 degrees on arrival. He went out his way to buy one there and then which was above and beyond!! Hot tub was incredible, I want one now lol. Only recommendation is to bring a mattress topper as the mattress is very firm or was for us anyways. Thanks Paul. Keith, Lisa & Alfie.
Joseph
Perfect for two people. Everything you need. Extremely warm welcome from owner Paul. Cannot recommend enough
Lovely accommodation, beautiful location, excellent facilities and lovely touches like dog and human treats! Would definitely come again, thank you for a lovely stay.
Louise

Very close to many attractions,a beautiful area.Foxy our dog,enjoyed the wonderful walks,although she wasnt sure about the sheep.The cottage was very comfortable,the hot tub was great after being out for most of the day. We will definitely return.lovely goodies left for us,including dog treats for Foxy, Paul the owner seemed lovely.
Josephine
Really peaceful setting. Cottage lovely and clean and very nice welcome pack. Paul was very friendly, saw him a few times and was there to assist if needed. The hot tub was lovely at the end of our many days out and about. Lovely pub for a meal and tea rooms not too far away too.
This was our 4th stay at wagtail cottage and it was as lovely as ever , spotless and really comfy , lovey welcome basket for us and the dog ! Paul is super friendly and there should you need anything . Im sure we will be back !!
Lovely week in a great little hideaway! Made the most of the location and especially enjoyed our walks along the North & South bays at Scarborough. Met Paul a few times during our stay, nice guy who just lets you get on with your holiday. Will definitely stay here again when visiting North Yorkshire
Jordan
Just got back and got post holiday blues after a wonderful stay at wagtail nest, greeted by Paul on arrival who was incredibly friendly. When we entered the cottage we noticed theyd left a hamper out with treats for both us and the dogs which was a lovely touch. Cottage was very clean, organised and everything functioned as youd expect, with the hot tub being a fantastic addition after a day of sightseeing. To put into context how amazing the owners are, I made a mistake with the booking only putting one dog on not two but they a still allowed us to bring both, thank you so very much, we had an outstanding time and will 110 be back!
Stunning cottage. Exactly what we were looking for. Would love to come back if we can get in !!
Second time at this property enjoyed our time there again everything is supplied ... Second time at this property enjoyed our time there again everything is supplied which is needed made to feel welcome by the owner who is on hand should we have any problems hot tub in the outside area is brilliant our four legged is safe in the enclosed area
Elizabeth
Lovely property, nice quiet location and very pleasant place to stay.
A very lovely, cosy cottage. Decorated beautifully. Was perfect for what we wanted. The welcome basket with treats including dog treats was a lovely gesture and the dog loved them! A very minor issue with the bin but was sorted immediately and professionally which was very much appreciated. Also appreciated the owner stopping by to make sure we were happy with everything. The kitchen utensils lacked ever so slightly in that couldnt find scissors and there were no normal glasses for drinks but it didnt stop the holiday at all and that is me being super critical. The outside space was great and we would definitely come back!
Lovely cottage in great setting and a friendly helpful owner
