Mr Ronan, September 2020

Mrs Harries, August 2020

Fantastic cottage.. Beautiful surroundings and lovely weather. We wanted a quiet, relaxing base to explore from. Our hosts provided just that. They were welcoming and friendly and extremely helpful.

Our stay was just perfect for our Valentine's weekend away.. We really could not find any fault at all with this beautiful little cottage. Wish we could have stayed longer - it was amazing, perfect location, so lovely and peaceful and the owners made us feel so welcome. Loved it.
Mr Stabler, February 2020

Hobbits provided all we could reasonably expect for two people.. It was warm and cosy without needing to light the wood-burner. This was the first time we'd stayed in a cottage that was not in walking distance of a pub/restaurant, and that did make a difference to the pattern of our days. Less local walking, more going out by car to local highlights. Which are many and varied..In two weeks we never ran short of things to do each day.
Mr Dawson, December 2019

Hobbits is located in a lovely secluded spot away from any road noise.. The hosts are very pleasant and the wood burner is a great addition for the winter months. The cottage is a good base to explore Whitby and other coastal bays in the east. Inland its a great base to visit York. The Railway museum in York has free entry and is huge with a good collection and 2 cafe's. Highly recommended accommodation.

A brilliant holiday - lovely, cosy cottage for two set in the North Yorkshire Moors countryside.. Beautiful views and a wonderfully comfortable bed. Marcus and Lindsay, the owners, ensured that we had everything needed to enjoy our holiday and the weather was warm and sunny too ! We've already recommended it to friends and hope to return next year as there is so much to see and do in the area.

Hobbits is a lovely little gem in the heart of North Yorkshire.. The setting and location are ideal for exploring the area and the hosts are so welcoming you feel as though you're visiting friends rather than renting a cottage.

Hobbits at Stearsby, Yorkshire was a very comfortable and relaxing place to stay.. In a very beautiful part of Yorkshire, which proved to be a great base to visit places like York or coastal towns. We were made very welcome by the owners who introduced themselves and were on hand if we needed anything. We had a very enjoyable stay.
