Great location a stones throw from the moors,nice comfy cottage.. Easy to get out and about and only a short walk to the pub which did excellent food with friendly and helpful staff.

We had a great week in Harvest Cottage.. It is a very sweet cottage with everything you need for a break away. We were given a lovely welcome by Heather and nothing was too much trouble. The cottage is very well equipped, comfortable and clean. We have been to many cottages around the UK with our dog and this is definitely one of the best. Levisham is a lovely village with a fabulous pub (The Horseshoe Inn) but make sure you book beforehand, they get very busy (especially at Sunday lunchtime). Lots of great places to explore in the area and the North York Moors Railway is wonderful.

Heather gave a wonderful welcome with a personal touch of giving us home made cakes on arrival, this gave a more personal start to the holiday.. The cottage was clean, comfortable and we'll equipped. The welcome for both us and the dogs in the Horseshoe Inn was very friendly and the food was amazing. We had wonderful different walks on the Moors each day in the most glorious settings. Our whole holiday experience was amazing and we will be back again.

Co-owner Heather was a font of local knowledge, re nearby walks etc.. The cottage is in a lovely area, with a nearby very scenic deep wooded valley. Such a relaxing break!

Ms Grant

A beautiful, clean, well equipped little cottage and a warm, friendly Yorkshire welcome; we arrived to a tea tray set with delicious home baking.. The village, like the cottage, is immaculate and the pub serves great food and a range of beers and wines in a traditional, homely environment. There are numerous walks around the area, for every ability and it’s not far to the coast to visit Whitby. Heather, the owner, is cheerful and friendly and we felt that nothing would have been too much trouble if we’d asked, but we didn’t have to because it was already perfect! We highly recommend this cottage; a home from home and a haven of calm and tranquility in one of Britain’s most beautiful areas.

We thoroughly enjoyed our two day stay at Harvest Cottage. The cottage is tastefully decorated, cosy and never felt cold. It was amazingly well equipped beyond what we expected. To find it had working Wi-fi was a pleasant bonus. The surrounding area is peaceful. For a short get away it's perfect.

Levisham was a great location for us, lots of walks for the dogs and not too far to travel to near by walks too.. There's only a pub in the village and it's very nice and food is great and not too costly either.

We spent a week in the lovely village of Levisham in January 2017 with our medium sized dog, Bert and Harvest Cottage was excellent. Heather was the perfect host and had made us some biscuits on arrival. Harvest cottage is perfect for a couple and their dog/dogs. There is ample off street parking and a garden to let your dog out into. The cottage is suitably equipped to stay for more than a week and was very snug and warm when the snow was falling outside.The area is lovely and quiet and perfect view of the stars - in other words, lovely for getting away from life and walking on the moors, that start at the end of the road. Hope to see you again soon.

I think it would be a good idea to include a single easy chair in addition to the double seated settee in the lounge as the settee was rather small.. Apart from this it was a well appointed cosy cottage, always warm and in a super location.

levisham is a small friendly place well situated for touring and walking. the cottage was small and cosy with all we needed but a larger more comfotable sofa would be even better!

Excellent service all round. Cottage was immaculate and well equipped even down to pot of tea and cakes on arrival. Quiet village location, yet only a few miles from all the ammenites you could need. If you can't find something of interest in this area then you are beyond hope.

The service and people were great could not have wished for better. The cottage was beautyful will be going again. The location and amenities was perfect. We loved it all very much but loved how we could take our Dog everywere with us even for dinner in the local Pub, there was nothing we did not love.
