We had a great break ,with our Dayghter,Soninlaw And 2 grandchildren.. They loved the horses in the next field. The cottage was wonderfull a real home from home, We took our motorcycle so we could tour the wonderful coast and countryside. The owners are very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. 5 stars from the Morgan family Book you wont be disappointed.

We have stayed here 34 times now and have tried other cottages but have never found anywhere as relaxing as Longstone cottage, for us, it's absolutely perfect in every way, fabulous views, wonderful walks and very dog friendly wooden floors throughout. We come here in all seasons and weathers and there's always so much to see and do, and, sometimes, to just relax and do nothing but enjoy the peace and tranquility. There are no signs forbidding you to do this or that, the only other place you find that is at home which is why we keep coming back, if you haven't got dogs it's still great, the owner next door has four you can borrow at any time, if you have, then it's doggy paradise. Whether it's a few days or a fortnight you're looking for, get yourselves up to longstone cottage, it's absolutely brilliant

The whole family agreement was that after a day out it was great to get back to a warm and comfortable cottage..

The location and facilities were exactly what we wanted.. We were greeted by the owner and made very welcome when we arrived and I am 100% sure we will return. The location was excellent, with access to many walking routes and the seaside on your doorstep.

Mr King, September 2019

Great cottage, remote, peaceful and fantastic views.. Owner was welcoming and extremely helpful. Very relaxing 3 night break.

Everything was as I expected.. Views and staying on a working farm exceeded what I expected. Mrs Webster who owns the property was really nice and friendly. Her dogs were fun and friendly as well and I always felt my dogs were very welcome. I will be booking with you again for sure and I plan to hopefully stay at the same cottage in the future. Very happy customer. Regards Carl

Mr Kerridge, May 2019

In a beautiful quiet valley with amazing views, ideal for doggie holidays.. Cottage nice and warm and cosy. Only 5 mins by car to Runswick bay where dogs can go on beach.

Mrs Hoad

Great cottage in a great location , very comfortable and cosy .. Andrea popped into greet us on our arrival to ensure we had all we needed , great for the dog too , would definitely recommend aand will return

Mrs Cain

February 2019

Andrea met us when we arrived and was very pleasant.. We saw her from a distance on a couple of occasions, but didn't get to speak to her again. The cottage is in a lovely spot, very quiet and peaceful and we very much enjoyed our stay there. I would just say that some of the furnishings are looking a little tired, especially the large sofa, and we found the double bed a bit lumpy, nothing that a new mattress wouldn't solve. I don't know if Andrea knows, but one half of the four slice toaster is not working, which may make breakfast a little lengthy with a family of four. Other than that, if we decide to go back, we would choose to sleep in the two single beds, as we are used to a six foot bed and found the four foot six bed a bit tight.

Mrs Cehajic

The cottage was so happily sitting on the hill and views were magnificent.. The layout was great and all furniture very comfortable. We enjoy every minutes of our stay. The ovner welcomed us and recommended few good places to visit. The children enjoyed playing with so many games that we found in the cottage. They also enjoyed playing with the dogs. We will recommend this place to everyone and give excellent with merit for review. Thank you

We pulled up and the cottage was beautiful and the scenery was amazing, Unfortunately the cottage had so much potential And really didn’t live up to the expectation, was one of the dirtiest holiday cottages we have ever stayed in, we didn’t get a welcome until late into the evening,the sofas were uncomfortable, there are many places we have stayed and visited time and time again this cottage definately isn’t one of them! Not a fan of writing bad reviews on things but wouldn’t want someone booking it for a week like us and being dissapointed!

Great location and a lovely place.. Friendly and welcoming neighboring owners. Highly recommended.

Mrs Pashley

September 2018

Cottage could have been cleaner ! Cobwebs throughout and very dusty. Obviously not the owners priority to clean ! Woken early by dog barking outside door most mornings. Bbq rusty and so obviously not fit for purpose sitting area outside was a wooden bench that was rotting and plastic chairs. I accept it is on a farm but feel more effort could have been taken for the price paid. Certainly not value for money. No starter pack of fuel for log burner. Just a log !! Log burner had not even been cleaned out from last use !Feel very disappointed in the description given for the property feel it was not accurate. The best thing I could say about the cottage was it’s Peaceful location . Would definite not recommend

Miss Moody

July 2018

Absolutely fantastic cottage.. Owner very friendly. Such a beautiful setting and walking in we had the WOW factor. Rural enough for peace, quiet and quality family time and not too far from great beaches and everything you could need in Whitby. Lots to see and do, will be back for sure, we ran out of time

Mr Ashby

Very nice hosts Great for the dogs Runswich beach 10 min away takes dogs all .... Very nice hosts Great for the dogs Runswich beach 10 min away takes dogs all year but can be very busy Ideal location 4miles from steam train Great outlook from cottage Nice pubs nearby Definitely recomended

Just got back from a weeks holiday at longstone cottage. Our dogs loved the grounds and it had stunning views. Andrea and her three dogs are very welcoming and made our stay very enjoyable. Being very interesting in fossils, longstone cottage is the perfect place to explore the different beaches across this coast. We'll be back again next year.

1st time we have taken a property at Christmas.. We had a wonderfully restful time in this lovely warm property with stunning views.

Great place in a great location.. We got a very warm welcome when we arrived at Longstone Cottage, the surroundings were fantastic & it was 10 mins in the car to Runswick bay for a lovely stroll on the beach.

Marshall, October 2017

June 2017

A lovely comfortable and well equiped cottage on a working farm situated perfectly between a number of interesting places to visit.. The owner went the extra mile to make us feel welcome. Very dog friendly. We will definately be visiting again.

Mr Stevens, June 2017

May 2017

Lots of lovely coves and villages along the coast to explore.. Cottage was comfortable and stylish in a nearby rural setting with horses, pets and wildlife on the doorstep. The owner, Andrea, was lovely and extremely helpful. All in all a great week!

We couldn't have picked a nicer cottage , it was very large and our daughter and partner also came for a few days so there was plenty of room for us all . The views are amazing and I loved watching the sunrise and sunset . They have horses in the fields and the owner has 4 dogs which are very friendly especially if you have got a packet of biscuits on the go lol . We saw deer in the field and watched a sparrow hawk , plus a nighttime visit from the barn owl fabulous . The owner welcomed us and is very friendly and we would recommend this cottage to anyone we loved and enjoyed every minute of our holiday .

Mr Jackson, May 2017

Beautiful cottage and beautiful views , the cottage was fully equipped and very comfortable.. The log burner was great and we did use it everyday, the owner lives next door and welcomed us and gave us all the information we might need . We would consider returning as we had a lovey holiday.

Mrs Blyth, November 2016

Fantastic really enjoyed .. It would recommend that they have a cornerd off aera for your own dogs they have got electric fencing for there horses .and it limits where your dog can go and get done .but had a great time

Mr Ellwood, October 2016

September 2016

The location and spaciousness of the property were both great and it was a perfect environment (outside and in) for a dog.. Comfortable beds/big bathroom - slept really well! Very friendly relaxed atmosphere/owners. It would be helpful to mention in your description that there are two quite deep stone steps up to the front door and one small step inside the cottage between the bedrooms/bathroom and the living area. I took my elderly mother with me as the cottage is described as 'all ground floor' and she did manage with assistance but it wouldn't be suitable for someone who relied totally on a wheelchair.

Mr Westwood

We particularly liked the peaceful setting of the Longstone Cottage, and the friendliness of the owner. Our little granddaughter enjoyed the horses and running round outside! Overall, we had a great holiday.

We're just back from a week at Longstone Cottage - and what a week it was! This is the ultimate place for dogs. We took our two sheepdogs, Izzy and Murray, and they loved it to bits. Being on a farm they ran round the cottage till their hearts were content. Owners Andrea and Martin, lovely, friendly people, have four dogs of their own - and they're all great. The wooden floors and furniture were all dog-friendly as long as you treat the cottage with respect and clean up after you. The views over the North Yorkshire countryside are stunning and we saw deer as well as hearing the haunting cry of the elusive curlew all day long! Boasting a superbly big open plan living room, the wonderfully-warm cottage is a brilliant base for touring the sensational North Yorks coastline as well as the fabled moors. We had snowstorms, hailstones and downpours as the thermometer dipped below zero! But we took it all in our stride with the help of Longstone Cottage and had a week we'll never forget... Ten out of 10!!

The owners were very helpful and friendly. We loved the cottage, it was perfect for our family and 2 dogs. It was ideally located, just far enough from Whitby to feel relaxed and private, but only a short drive to attractions. We will definitely be back.

We arrived on the Friday and were 'blown away' with the views from this cottage. It's a great location for kids.......plenty of space for them to run around. The owners dogs were regular visitors which the kids loved. The horses in the nearby fields were also well fed! We did spot a deer in the far field too! Our days were spent at the various beaches which were a short drive away. Sandsend is close by, as is Robin Hoods Bay and Runswick Bay. As we went in peak season, parking was sometimes an issue so get out early to grab a parking spot! Cottage was really well stocked and comfortable. As we had 2 birthdays during our week there, we were grateful to have a well stocked kitchen to bake birthday cakes. Owner was lovely and friendly, nothing too much trouble. My only one complaint was the lack of internet access. Other than that, we had a great week and would like to come back and visit again sometime!

Mrs Harcourt, December 2015

The cottage gave us a good base to explore the surrounding areas and the owner was very friendly.. It was a relaxing holiday.

We (2 adults, 1 child and 1 dog) stayed here for a week, the cottage is really spacious and homely and well located for trips to both the coast and the moors. The views from the front windows are amazing and my daughter loved the horses, dogs and cows. The cottage had everything we needed for the week with walks available from the doorstep. It was great that the cottage had wood floors throughout so we didn't have to worry about getting footprints on carpets due to the wet weather we had during our week. One of the nicest cottages we've stayed in whilst in North Yorkshire.

Booked this cottage for our group for a few days to include our NYE celebrations for 2014. We spent quite a bit of time beforehand looking for a nice open plan space so that our group of 4 adults, 2 children, 1 infant and our small dog had room to relax. Longstone Cottage was a great choice - have to say that the pictures of the living area don't do it justice, the space is superb. Bedrooms are a reasonable size consisting of a double and twin, and lots of storage which was good. The owner had also made the effort of putting up xmas decorations which was a nice touch. The blokes in the group also took mountain bikes to explore the area a little bit, if you're in to some serious hill climbs I would recommend! We were hoping to take advantage of the local pub as it had received some good reviews, but found it just a little too far away to walk on an evening and the road to/from was a little trechorous for kids and a pushchair. Worth bearing in mind if that's important to you. Overall this is one I would recommend and may well book a return trip in the future.

Mrs Astley, March 2015

The location of the property was great with easy access to lots of lovely walks.. Whitby, Runswick Bay, Staithes are all lovely. The Humble Pie N Mash shop in Whitby is a must and it is dog friendly too. The cottage was very cosy with lots of room. I liked the wooden flooring throughout as this is perfect for our dog. It was very peaceful and relaxing!

We have stayed in this cottage 8 times now and have booked 2 long weekends before the end of the year! We have stayed at many so called dog friendly cottages and found fully them fully carpeted, usually in white, anything but dog friendly. This cottage has wooden floors throughout and is exceptionally spacious so everyone, inc the dogs have a truly relaxing time. we have stayed here in the spring, summer and autumn and had wonderful holidays, but December is the best, when the cottage is decorated for Christmas, it's perfect, all log burners and cosy warm. I have hesitated to write a review as we have recommended it to our friends and family and, as we like to come here often, it may be fully booked! if getting away from it all is your idea of bliss, this place is perfect

We loved the setting of the house; the cows grazing in front of the kitchen windows, the very friendly owners..we felt completely at ease with our kids and our dogs - a real Holiday!

Mr Evans

This was a really brilliant holiday and one of the best places we have ever stayed at. We were made very welcome without being intrusive. Its setting and layout could not have been better. The whole holiday went far and above our expectations (and experiences of past self catering holidays). The whole ethos of the place including visiting dogs and animals made it a place where we could really relax and enjoy our holiday. Would recommend this venue and its host to anyone and everyone. Thank you for finding us such a lovely spot and our thanks too our helpful host.

Everything. The owner was excellent as a host and personally for us the cottage and surroundings were perfect for our first family holiday. Being able to interact with the animals on the farm was lovely for our little boy and you are ideally situated for various locations such as Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay, Staithes, Scarborough etc. The interior of the cottage was spacious and beautifully furnished to make you feel relaxed. I would recommend this cottage to anyone without hesitation.

We recently had a short break at Longstone Cottage near Whitby and can only say that from the moment we arrived until we left was truly wonderful.On arrival we were greeted by the owner who showed us around the cottage which was very modern and extremely well fitted out there was nothing that had not been thought of.The location of the cottage was very quite and relaxing and ideal for traveling around the Yorkshire moors.We would definitely book this cottage again and would recommend it as a very good place to stop.

It was a very peaceful property.. The owner was very friendly as were the dogs and horses. The layout was super and having all the kitchen, diner and lounge area as one room was lovely - very snug and cosy! The bedrooms and bathroom being shut off from the living space would be great for families with young children. The cottage was very well equipped right down to a superb set of sharp knives, a detail often overlooked in holiday cottages. Would definitely stay here again!

The location is great - lots of open fields around, good walks, peaceful, lovely pub in Ugthorpe. Wonderful beaches at Sandsend and Whitby. The cottage was lovely and warm, we didnt need to use the log burner (which was disappointing as I really wanted to!) The owner popped round shortly after we arrived to make sure everything was ok, which it was. Our two border terriers thought they had died and gone to heaven, had a great time exploring everywhere. Our only problem was that the oven broke down, but am sure it's fixed by now, and I cooked our meal in the aga in the main house. On the list of what's not included in the property there should be added washing up liquid, washing powder and j cloths. Don't mind having to provide my own, but would be better if pre-warned. Although the owner did say that she had provided some items in the past but sometimes they hadnt been used, so wasn't sure whether these should be included. I said yes, but will remember to take some with me next time!

Quiet location, beautiful views, the dogs absolutely loved it, the owner was very friendly and helpful, there is a good local pub only 1 mile away, and there are lots of places to go and see within a few miles.. We will definitely consider returning!
