Self-Catering Tidkinhow Farm in Middlesbrough

A beautiful cottage in a beautiful setting. Will equipped with books, jigsaws & games. Fully equipped kitchen, log burners and a barn with pool table, dart board etc. Fully enclosed garden to keep your dogs in. The views are outstanding and the silence is golden. The best bit for me is the fact that barn owls are in the area and regularly can be seen at the property. Only one negative is that the fridge is small although it's not a big negative. A request to strip the beds before you leave was not a hardship, I always do this anyway.

Had a great week's holiday earlier this month. 5 of us stayed at this lovely venue. Plenty of room for relaxing, reading, watching TV etc with games area and safe garden for the 2 dogs. Beautiful weather, sat in garden overlooking the view of fields and moorland. Explored the local area and had a great time. Basket with biscuits, tea, coffee etc provided on arrival. Recommended

This was booked as a surprise 'big' birthday stay. It's a lovely farmhouse with ample room & fantastic views to both the sea & Moors. A welcome basket with milk crisps & biscuits was a nice touch. The farmouse itself is rustic & lots of charm. Roomy if you have dogs , there's also an enclosed area for them at the back of the property, however we did notice previous customers hadn't fully checked for dog waste before they checked out & we had to pick up before allowing our dogs access. The rooms are spacious , yet warm & the kitchen is fully equipped. We did think the fridge was too small, it's a property that sleeps 8 so if you're staying for longer than a couple of nights the fridge won't be adequate. There's a full size freezer in the utility area though. The pressure in showers is ok, but don't expect a power shower. We used the 2nd lounge for one night when we had 2 friends staying overnight & although we'd expect cobwebs in an farmouse we wouldn't expect a massive web in one corner of the room that had been there a while, also a cluster of dead flies on the windowsill. There's two working fireplaces but only a small starter pack for one fire, so if you're going to use them take a supply of kindling & logs. Be aware that the farmhouse is just beyond a working farm & the track up to it is as rustic as the farmhouse , but never bothered us . One tiny criticism , & it's a minor criticism....a request to strip beds on leaving?!! Why?? It's a rush checking out & making sure everything is clean & tidy & packing up car etc , but being asked to strip beds if possible, we did , but it's an added chore. We'd definitely return as it's a fabulous location.

The cottage was very nice , the scenery was amazing and the surrounding areas were beautiful , the beaches were lovely and dog friendly , will definitely like to go back..

We enjoyed the space and privacy of this house which was extremely clean, loads of hot water and well stocked with all we needed for such a large group.. The owner was very pleasant and helpful and the cake and milk were very appreciated. The setting was beautiful and the exterior was special with plenty of space for 3 dogs, 2 children and 6 adults. The benefit of a games room was a welcome addition.

Booked for the weekend for 7 of us along with 3 dogs. House is well stocked with everything you need. Delicious lemon cake left for us too. All the bedrooms are clean and cosy. We picked the weekend of storm Ciara so it was very windy on the nights but that cant be helped. Beautiful views 360 degrees and a great play room for the kids and big kids amongst us with a heater in there too. Two living rooms both with fires and plenty of wood to use with added cost which was reasonable and we made good use of it. Two bathrooms and extra downstairs toilet helped with the amount of people. The place has such character and had two TVs with all the channels you need. Plenty of books and games and our 11 and 13 year olds even got the Lego out! They havent done that in a while but it was great to not have them on the devices! Really good directions and felt welcomed by the owners who were easy to contact too. I would recommend this as a getaway and easy drive to both Guisborough and Saltburn. We walked in Saltburn on the Saturday and ate at Scarletts restaurant on the evening which is also recommended. Book it you wont be disapointed!

The location was absolutly fantastic.. It was secluded, which was what we wanted; however there was plenty of things to do and visit in the surrounding areas that were easy to get to.The small town nearby had plenty of supermarkets if running out of essentials. The property was very spacious and extreamly comfortable. We arrived at the same time as storm Dennis; to a warm and welcoming farm cottage with tea and delicious cake waiting for us. The beds were very comfortable and warm with plenty of extra blankets although we didn't need them. We brought our own logs for the fire but there were plenty available for a small charge if needed. The games room was an added bonus and we had plenty of fun times in here with the children. We all loved it and are already planning a return visit in the summer months. I would most definately recommend this property for a family holiday.

Tidkinhow Farm is a great and peaceful getaway but also great location for finding places to go if you want to.. We visited Whitby, Saltburn and climbed Roseberry Topping. There is lots of space in the house and the gardens and it’s very well equipped, if I was to make a recommendation for improvement it would be for bigger TV in the cosy lounge.

Mrs Glenn, December 2019

November 2019

We enjoyed staying at Tidkinhow Farm.. The house itself is very nice and one of our favourites. The only problems we found were both to do with the garden. Nowhere in the description did it say that dogs had to be kept on a lead in the bigest of the two gardens, I wouldn't have booked the house knowing this. Also the above mentioned garden was ridiculously boggy - I realise that this isn't a problem the owners can fix, it's down to the weather - but it did stop my dog using the garden and we had to keep him in the back garden which is rather small. We booked this house to get our dog away for bonfire period. We didn't realise that the surrounding area is used to hold shoots. The day we came home all you could hear were shots all around the house. I think that this should be mentioned in the description because once again this would have stopped me from booking. We met the owner a few times and she was very pleasant and we appreciated the cake and milk that were left for our arrival. It's a shame about the garden and the local shooters because overwise we wouldn't hesitate to re book.

The location is high up with views all around - even a sea view while washing up.. The games room was a huge hit with our family group. Great to have two sitting rooms for those who would like a little peace. As others have marveled, a gorgeous lemon cake welcomed us as we arrived. Would highly recommend.

Mrs Ashley

Tidkinhow Farm is a fantastic place to stay.. It’s in a marvellously secluded position and the views are stunning. The house is accessed by a track which was fine and we were at the end of it, no passing traffic. The owners are a short distance away, if required. Communication with Wendy was great, pitched perfectly. It is well furnished and well equipped, lovely and warm. It is well positioned for great walks on the moors or nearby beaches. The enclosed garden at the back is perfect for dogs. I have no complaints and I would return in a heartbeat. One of the best holiday cottages we’ve stayed in, and there have been many over the years. If you want a truly relaxing break then I can’t recommend this place enough. Thanks Wendy and Jonathan.

Me and my family loved it, it was a wonderful stay at Tidkinhow Farm, the views were great and the house just what we were hoping it would be, would definitely stay again and recommend it to others, we took my mama with us on our trip and she thought it was wonderful, perfect for all generations of the family including our dog who’s only 6 months and this was her very first holiday, she has been very well behaved and has loved the fires as have we all..

Mrs Treadgold

October 2018

This property is an excellent hideaway and although large, is great for two people.. Plenty of space to bring your dog and the garden is very safe away from all the sheep and well fenced in.There is an abundance of wildlife including hares and great spotted woodpeckers. The track up to the property is a bit of a challenge for a small car, but you get used to it as long as you take it slowly. Easy access to the moors, Whitby and the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. The views from this property are extremely good.

Mrs Case

The cottage was in a beautiful location and was very comfortable.. Only one request; could the kitchen knives all be sharpened!

Mrs Clarkson

Ms Drew

Absolutely loved this cottage and the location.. The views were amazing. We had a fantastic holiday and visited some lovely places. A lemon home made cake greeted us on arrival, such a lovely gesture. Would highly recommend this property.

Mrs Dagg

A lovely cottage in a beautiful area.. Wonderful views, could even see the sea! Peaceful, our only neighbours were the cows, sheep and horses. Great area, the cottage was well positioned to visit Saltburn-by-the-Sea, Guisborough, Whitby and Staithes. Very tasty lemon cake awaiting us on arrival.

Mrs Eaton

June 2018

Fabulous location.. A spacious and well equipped dog friendly cottage. The games barn was a real plus. Wendy and Jonathan could not be more helpful - everything was perfect and we have already recommended the wonderful cottage to friends. Best lemon cake we have ever eaten - thanks Wendy!

Mrs Wardrop

May 2018

Lovely rural cottage.. Very peaceful, and great for different species of birds. Close to Yorkshire moors. Not too far from scarborough, Whitby, Saltburn-by-the-Sea. Which a beautiful place to spend time in. Cottage was well equipped, and comfortable. Only downside was road leading up to it. In need of repair. Had a good time here though

Mrs Buchanan

Cottage well equiped a real homely feeling : a huge range of books , dvds , games and jigsaws .. Beautiful homemade cake on arrival . Thank you it made my husbands 60th birthday celebrations with family and friends memorable .

Mrs Hook

The owner left a beautiful cake on arrival - nice touch.. Strong smell of paraffin in the farmhouse that can become overpowering and stays on all your clothes/coats/stuff when you return home.

Mrs Galloway

July 2017

Fantastic cottage and was enjoyed by two families and 2 dogs.. No contact with the owner at all, however this suited us just fine as everything was perfect from start to finish.

Just returned from a one week stay with family at Tidkinhow Farm cottage, what a lovely week we had! The cottage was perfect in all aspect, even a delicious home made cake waiting for us when we arrived. The cottage is ideal for exploring the north east coast and is surrounded by beautiful farm land giving excellent views of the moors, it even has a sea view! The cottage is very well equipped, we didn't have to ask the owners for anything. It is very warm and the beds are very comfy. Our grandson says he wants to come every year! You can't get better praise than that...!!!

Mr Sayer

August 2016

We loved the cottage. The view was 'Wow'. It was in a good location with various beaches, woodland walks and other places of interest within easy reach. The cottage was a good base to return to at the end of the day. It has a super area in the garden for a BBQ. We didn't make much use of it but the games room was well stocked with various activities. Our party consisted of 3 families and there was plenty of room for our 3 cars. It was splendid value for money with everything we needed living up to what we had expected from the website details.

Mrs Adamson

June 2016

We loved everything about this cottage. It was well equipped with everything including jigsaws, games, toys and spare blankets plus an honesty box for farm produce. The games room was a real bonus and kept us entertained. Probably the best all round holiday let we have stayed in to date.

Mrs Mace

June 2016

A fabulous place to stay. It is in a great location with wonderful views.

Mrs Harrison

May 2016

Tidkinhow Farm is a well equipped holiday cottage, it was warm and comfortable and clean. It has spectacular views from every window, the sea in one direction and the spectacular N.Yorkshire moors in the other. It is ideally situated to visit well known beauty spots like Whitby, Great Ayton and the lovely villages of Lealholm and Goathland on the North Yorkshire moors.

Miss Morris

We particularly liked the views at Tidkinhow Farm and the peaceful location. There was lots to see and do close by and the cottage was very warm and comfortable.

Mr Harrison

March 2016

A little piece of heaven. A tranquil haven. Absolutely beautiful. All amenities and attractions a few miles away. The children preferred being at the house and playing in the safe surroundings. Play room a gem of a bonus. Standard of accommodation was top notch. The only down side is you do not want to leave.

Mrs Heckler

Had an excellent time at Tidkinhow Farm for New Year's Eve, great location and beautiful cottage with enough space for us all. Lots of land for the dogs to run around. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Mrs Facey

The farmhouse was exceptional and we had an amazing break. This excelled all expectations. It was within easy reach of the local area, but also offered seclusion from the outside world with amazing views, so relaxing. It offered everything we needed and more, cant wait to go again.

Mrs James

The cottage is perfectly situated for a peaceful and secluded holiday home from home. It really felt like we were whisked away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Mrs Swindell

April 2015

An outstanding holiday cottage. It was well equipped and suitable for large families, or as in our case, 2 couples with dogs. It was spacious and close to the beautiful North Yorks countryside. Will definitely be recommending to family and friends.

Beautiful cottage with stunning scenery, very relaxing. Everything we could have needed was there, truly a home from home. The kids loved the games room which kept the adults happy too! An excellent base for exploring the countryside and coast.

Mrs Lewis

November 2014

The farmhouse was very comfortable, spacious and welcoming, with breathtaking views. A fab place to get away from it all. We all enjoyed our weekend stay. It was also great to have an enclosed garden for our dogs.

Mrs Walls

November 2014

We enjoyed the outstanding views and could look at them forever. The privacy and space for our dogs to run around outside. A lovely, interesting house with bags of character. Big beds, nice and comfortable, makes for a great nights sleep.

Mr Barton

October 2014

Excellent location with beautiful scenery and a fantastically equipped clean property. Particularly liked the properly enclosed rear garden that was ideal for small dogs.

Ms Barrett

September 2014

Tidkinhow Farm was amazing, well presented and filled with everything you could want to make your stay enjoyable.

Miss Horsburgh

September 2014

A lovely, spacious old farmhouse, restored to a very high standard and with beautiful views over the sea. Seems high up on the moors, yet a track (a little under half a mile), runs to a main route way, so easy travelling to all destinations. There was plenty of seating and it was good to have the extra sitting room. The garden was genuinely dog proofed, it was perfect for our party.

Mrs Jones

September 2014

The cottage is beautiful and the views are amazing. It was spacious and perfectly equipped. We would definitely recommend this cottage for a relaxing stay and hope to be back soon.

Mr Hyland

August 2014

The views from every window were stunning. Had a cosy second living room with wood burner, nice bedding in every room and it was nice to not have to bring towels. The garden was great for a dog. Well worth every penny, a fab cottage, any family would love it.

Mr Seabrook

July 2014

A fantastic property conveniently located for the Moors and the beach.

Mrs Roberts

June 2014

Superb cottage, with wonderful views over the North Yorkshire Moors. You couldn't be made to feel more welcome from the moment you arrive, to when you have to leave. Everywhere we wanted to visit was easily accessible and a pleasure to go to. We'll hopefully be back again soon.

Mrs Davison

June 2014

Very clean and comfortable with great views.

Dr Hoopes

June 2014

The location of this property is breathtaking, with spectacular views down the glen to the North Sea, the Guisborough Woods, and up to the moors. We were blessed with sunny mornings and afternoons and enjoyed sitting on the patio and enjoying the fresh air. Although it is a rural property, it is ideally located, with quick access to basic services in Guisborough and easy drives to hikes in the North York Moors National Park and the Cleveland Way. We especially enjoyed visiting Saltburn and Whitby, which are quite close, as well as the Kirkleatham Museum. The Fox and Hounds Inn, right down the hill, is a nice location for a delicious meal out. The cottage itself was spacious and comfortable, with good WiFi access that helped us with trip planning and execution. The property managers, located nearby, were charming, helpful, and generous with their time and recommendations.

Mr Wallace

May 2014

The position of Tidkinhow is excellent with glorious views of the Dales. It was very quiet and peaceful, only disturbed by the local fauna, which could not be better. A small oasis.

Soph_Sim

May 2014

This property is simply amazing! It felt as if a close relative had prepared the house for my friends and I while not being able to be there with us! The cottage is decorated with taste, the beds are really comfortable, a homemade cake was awaiting us on the kitchen table and the landlady had even thought that we might not have brought milk with us for breakfast as we arrived late at night so she left a small bottle of milk in the fridge. Farm eggs, homemade chutney and logs for the log burners were available to puchase. Besides that, we particularly enjoyed the ping pong table, the view and this feeling of being far from civilisation and pollution that one never experiences when living in a big city. Highly recommended!

Mr Hick

April 2014

Having booked this holiday home from the other side of the world, this property exceeded all expectations. There was plenty of space for all members of the family and although remote, was the ideal place to have a family reunion. The owners had made a huge effort to make this a home away from home.

Mr Hargreaves

April 2014

The location and view from the property was fantastic. The cottage was very cosy and exceptionally clean. It had everything we needed and more.

David H

April 2014

Having booked this accommodation from the other side of the world, this place exceeded all expectations. The cottage was very inviting when we arrived and as we were a group of eight, there was ample room to accommodate all. It was immaculately presented and as it was on the edge of the North York Moors, was cozy and warm. It certainly did not disappoint. Although isolated, the hosts had certainly made it a home away from home.

Miss Gardner

March 2014

The farmhouse was very clean and cosy with fantastic views of the sea and the moors. A relaxing break away from it all, with all the comforts of home!

Mr Hill

February 2014

An excellent cottage, spacious for the family, fantastic views, well worth a return visit.

Mr Andrews

February 2014

The isolated location in a beautiful area was ideal for two blokes away, taking photographs. The accommodation was clean, very comfortable and sensibly furnished for the environment. On a 3 day break we became attached to the property and very quickly felt at home.
