The location is worth the price of the stay alone. Having come across Borrowby Farm Cottages last year when booking a trip away with my fiance, we didn't expect to be as blown away as we were. The cottages are homely and have all the facilities needed for a short or long stay. The underfloor heating is another added bonus. Wonderful friendly hosts and a new favourite place to visit. Would 100% recommend. It's out of the way enough to feel like you're in the middle of nowhere while still being close to the coastline with Staithes.

Upstairs was very stuffy as the weather was hot and we couldn’t open the windows.

Lovely property in beautiful location with stunning views. We were made very welcome and the cottage is very comfortable.

This cottage is in the best location, out of the way and quiet with the best views I've ever seen...but also only a short drive from the coast. The owner Mark was really helpful and even kind enough to show us around the other cottages before we left, I would happily stay in any of them, they're all beautiful and so cosy ☺️

The Wi-Fi was intermittent but then it was good to take a break.

Perfect location, looking across the countryside with the sea in the distance. Very quiet and peaceful

Nothing at all not to like.

Well equipped, very cozy with underfloor heating, plenty of safe parking and the views out to the coast are lovely.

Lovely location, and a well equipped cottage. Lovely deep bath. Amazing views.

Beautiful property! The views were amazing, and we had such a peace stay. Loved the fact there was a car park. Property felt secure for our little puppy too. Hosts were brilliant and let us have a later check out. Very close to shops, and close to Whitby for a day trip. Would highly recommend!

Nice quiet spot but needed the car to get to shop or place to eat . The main bed and the sofa have been well used and probably due to be replaced before the season gets going ? Hope so and then it would be perfect .

Barn conversion with the wow factor . Stunning location, stunning views, architect designed ? Really spacious layout, well equipped - and sparkling clean - would love to go back in the summer and enjoy the views from the garden across the fields to the sea.

Great rural location.

The heating is via ground source heat pump which is housed under the stairs and it's loud. Unfortunately any time I awoke in the night (which I always do anyway) I struggled to get back to sleep because of the loud pulsing hum. It sounded a bit like my dishwasher starting up. Also the house was really hot. We have our heating on at 17° but the cottage was set at 21° so we tried to get it down, and managed to get it to 19°. Being a heat pump it reacts very slowly, which it's designed to do to give out ambient heat. However the heat also seems to kick out overnight so we slept with the duvet folded back. Personally I would not have the heating on at night especially as we couldn't open any windows. It was a shame because everything else about our stay was perfect.

Lovely cottage with all the facilities you'd need. Great views in a peaceful location. We brought our dog. Close to some gorgeous coastal towns. The owners left us some milk in the fridge and a box of choccies!

Jumping spiders 🕷 🤣🤣🤣 There was absolutely nothing we didn't like just wish we had booked for more than 4 days as having to be out of the cottage for 10am was a little early. But the owner was very amicable if your running late like we were. 👍

We stayed in the Spangle cottage and was just beautiful, clean and well equipped with everything needed for your stay. The views were amazing from the cottage. Although we had taken our own milk tea coffee sugar & condiments these were provided. Kitchen equipped with everything needed for making meals and the oven & micowave spotless. Also the washing machine came in very handy after muddy/beach days. Our 2 german shepherds stayed with us the location perfect for various days out so many places to visit, and they loved the long walks. The owners were welcoming and at hand if you needed anything at all. Would 100% recommended to anyone wanting the peace and tranquility of the countryside.

There was nothing we didn't like. It ticked all the boxes.

A lovely accommodation. Quiet setting amongst farmland. Great facilities and a good location to travel out. It was only 7 miles from Whitby

The views out towards Staithes and Whitby from the cottage were unbelievable. The cottage was lovely also. Modern, but with all of the character still in place.

Very minor and certainly wouldn’t put me off staying again but the heating/boiler is noisy. As is the upstairs - creaking beds and floors. A dishwasher would be nice too.

Really beautiful setting with gorgeous views. Spacious, clean with a nice kitchen and bathroom.

nothing to mention

What a find, my partner & I had a very relaxing and peaceful stay... The views, the accommodation, the little touches, tea, Coffee, sugar, milk and a box of chocolates.. We took our three dogs, they loved the enclosed garden and nearby walks (Cleveland Way). Local hostilery was a gem too. oh & the bath....

Nothing to not like.

Stunning location, peaceful and quiet. Everything you could want in the cottage was there. My daughter and I loved eating breakfast outside on our first morning, the view was beautiful. Handy location for exploring and close enough to a shop/pub. The welcoming touches of chocolates and fresh milk was a lovely surprise and much appreciated.

Absolutely stunning location and such beautiful countryside views. Property clean and well equipped. It was a perfect location to visit Whitby, Runswick Bay, Saltburn, Robin Hoods Bay and of course Staithes. We will definitely return, didn't want to leave! Thank you 😊

Creaking floorboards upstairs

Location, view and garden were all fantastic and facilities in the cottages. Views from the windows over to the bay were beautiful

Stayed in June 2022

It would be great to add a dishwasher. Underfloor heating was lovely but we found it difficult to get the temperature right at night and were often too warm.

Beautiful accommodation in a quiet location with a wonderful view from the patio.
