Very Pleasant Accomodation
We had a lovely 7 day stay at Forget-Me-Not cottage. The cottage is nicely situated for visiting local areas on the coast and moors. We loved the rustic charm of the cottage and everything we needed was supplied. Very pleasant and helpful owners.

The photos do not do it justice!
Our first impression when we arrived was that the photos we had seen in advance didn't do the property justice. The cottage, both inside and outside was even more attractive and charming than we expected. The cottage had everything we needed and was the perfect base for exploring the area.

Warm, welcoming and absolutely charming! We loved it!
Thank you Lisa and Graham for making our stay so comfortable and relaxing. The children just loved it and we will be definitely coming back again! The ‘Scratching Shed’ was a breath of fresh air, just that little extra thought goes a long way; for everyone to enjoy!

Lovely week in gorgeous surroundings!
We stayed at Forget me Not cottage for a week. The facilities were superb and everything catered for. The cottage is decorated to a high standard with a costal theme and definitely deserves five stars! My teenagers particularly liked the barn and played lots of darts and pool, perfect for their age group. Lisa and Graham were lovely hosts who made sure we were ok without being intrusive. Would definitely recommend a stay and would love to return in the future.

All your needs provided. Owners are welcoming and always willing to be of help.
The Forget-Me-Not cottage we stayed in was well provided for all our needs and the underfloor heating was efficient. Near the cottage was a garage with basic provisions at reasonable cost, a cafe, and a pub serving meals. A bus stop opposite the garage provided transport to Whitby and Scarborough. Plenty of footpaths were available from the cottage which pleased our dog and made our legs ache. The two teenage boys we had with us enjiyed the owners' man cave and the ability to play pool and darts. Supporters of Leeds UFC will be delighted with the wallpaper of match tickets and programmes.

Fabulous cottage in a wonderful location
We had a lovely time staying at Forget-me-not cottage and would definitely recommend it to others. The cottage was so cosy even in the coldest weather, made even more so by the under floor heating! The cottage had everything you would need and was in great location for exploring Robin Hoods Bay and Whitby. Hopefully we will return again soo .

Superb
For-get-me-not - and we won't! Loved every thing about the cottage inside and out. It was spotlessly clean, tidy and ideally appointed. The view out the front towards the coast was superb. Lisa and Graham are lovely hosts- they should be really proud of what they have achieved here. We are looking forward to returning...sooner rather than later.

Clean, comfortable property with everything you need for a great holiday.
Had a great 4 days in Forget me Not. Property was gorgeous. Tastefully furnished with everything you need for a great holiday. Loved watching all the birds each morning on the bird feeder (thanks to Lisa for stocking up their bird feed supply each morning). Fab views of the countryside and sea from the living room. Lisa and Graham should be very pleased with what they've achieved. They made our stay comfortable and effortless. The property is located in a good spot for visiting the coastal towns and there are plenty of places to eat and drink within a mile or so.

Forget me not cottage is excellent
We booked for three days. Cottage was absolutely beautiful. Spotlessly clean and there is everything there you require. Lisa and graham the owners were there to greet us and made us feel very welcome. It was a pleasure to stay in one of their cottages and they are a credit to them and they are both still working hard building wooden huts that look great when there finished. They are very fortunate to live in such a lovely area with sea views , lovely walks and the beach practically on your doorstep. Will definitely visit again .

Lovely, cosy holiday cottage
Fantastic little cottage with superb attention to detail. Lovely decor, fantastic views, a very kind welcome gift on arrival, a warm welcome by the owners and the handy dog wash all made for a great holiday experience! We did some fantastic walks along the Cleveland way and on the beach from Boggle Hole. We would definitely use the cottages again. Thank you for a lovely holiday.
