Dairy House, Newton-Upon-Rawcliffe

Having spent many weeks in lockdown it was wonderful to have a weeks holiday in the the North York Moors. Dairy House is a very comfortable cottage set in a lovely little village. All preparations had been made to reassure us that the accommodation was free from and would remain safe from Covid. Unfortunately the village pub was not able to offer food, but with Pickering ten minutes down the road there was a choice of several establishments offering takeaway meals. The cottage is well equipped if you are happy to self cater. We know the area very well but still found new places to visit and a warm welcome was assured where ever we went. The only disappointment was that the railway was not due to start running again until 1st August.

Dairy House is a very comfortable cottage, in an ideal location for lots of days out. Our grandchildren particularly enjoyed the steam train to Whitby, as we did too. We have made several visits to this lovely part of Yorkshire and it never lets us down.

We all absolutely loved the Dairy house. A real home from home and in an excellent location. We plan to go back when we can. It was easy to get to all the places we wanted to visit and we loved the quiet of the evenings. An excellent cottage in an excellent location.

This is a delightful cottage, a real 'home from home' especially with the mixed Yorkshire weather. It is cosy and welcoming and would suit a larger group as well as just a couple & their dog as we were. The village pub is just 50 yards away, friendly & serving good beer & local, home cooked food. Newton-upon-Rawcliffe is ideally placed 4 miles from Pickering which offers a variety of small, local food shops & supermarkets. It also has take-away food outlets. The Coast at Whitby is a mere 20 miles drive away all surrounded by the North Yorkshire Moors.

An interesting, comfortable property in the centre of great walking area. Lovely cosy place to spend a day in, but also a quick easy drive to Pickering and onwards. The owner has given a lot of thought and attention to making the cottage work for guests. We enjoyed the log burner which was easy to get going. The utility area was great for bikes and muddy boots, and the village is very scenic for little strolls.

Lovely quiet location with comfortable rooms and a good friendly pub close by. The walking and scenery was spectacular. Loved the steam railway with the old fashioned stations. York was a good day out there was so much history to see and Whitby was fun especially if you like fish n chips. The local ales were all tasted most more than once. What a great holiday I will be back.

A wonderful base for exploring the North York Moors and East Yorkshire coast. Miles of paths and tracks easily accessible directly from the cottage.

The accommodation was just right for our needs and in an ideal location.

Well appointed, comfortable and clean.

The location of the cottage was fantastic. We were able to explore all the places we wanted to from a central location. It was also very handy having such a fantastic pub with great food just 2 minutes walk away. The cottage itself was lovely. Very comfortable and well equipped.

A lovely cottage in a very pretty village, central location for North Yorkshire.

The dairy house was wonderful with everything you could possibly need for a most comfortable stay in the picturesque little village of Newton on Rawcliffe.

The cottage is spacious and well appointed. It is in a peaceful location adjoining a farm. The village is a few miles from a town so a car is essential. A good venue for walking and for touring by car.

Loved where it was situated. Lovely friendly country pub just down the road. A very cosy cottage. Large kitchen to eat in. It was all very clean and a very pretty place. Much impressed.

Dairy House was as good as we remembered it to be from our first visit!

Very comfortable cottage in relaxing surroundings. We liked being able to go for long walks straight from the property, and the excellent pub nearby was an added bonus!

A rural location with good accessibility to interesting sites for touring.

The house is in a good location - far enough away from the main town to be totally relaxing but central enough to get to all local towns via a car. The local pub was very welcoming serving good food. A lovely cottage with a farmhouse feel.

The Dairy House surpassed all expectations and thanks to Sykes and the owner for making it happen.

An excellent cottage in every way. The village pub, The White Swan is highly recommended. A great centre for visiting most of North Yorkshire.

The cottage was very comfortable and in a lovely, peaceful location. Walks right from the front door. Nearby Pickering is a very pretty village with ample bars and restaurants for the evenings. We would not hesitate to return.

Th Dairy House is a lovely barn conversion in a lovely setting, very peaceful. There was plenty of room in the property for all six of us and it's ideally located for accessing the Moors, coast and the North York Moors Steam Train.

Lots of space in the property and set in a lovely village, close to lots of pretty villages with many places to visit. A comfortable place to stay.

Lovely village, quiet location of cottage near to paths to walk along. A roomy cottage which is better than website photos suggest. Would definitely like to come back to this cottage.

A lovely, deceptively spacious and well equipped cottage in a great location for exploring the moors and coast. There are some stunning walks from the doorstep which take you right into the heart of the moors. Thanks for a really relaxing holiday.

Ideally located for York, the east coast resorts , North Yorkshire moors and The Yorkshire Dales.Very comfortable with a very friendly pub almost next door.Both my wife and I, together with our family from Western australia, feel we made a good choice !

We found the cottage really homely, especially with the log fire. The village was beautiful, people really friendly and local pub food very nice.

The Dairy Cottage had a cosy, homely feel to it and is in such a lovely setting. The children enjoyed feeding the ducks on the green and loved the play area just down the road. The grown ups very much appreciated the bottle of wine waiting for us on arrival and taking in the beautiful scenery.

The cottage was in a great location and had a real charm about it. We really appreciated the welcoming bottle of wine.

A very comfortable base for visiting the places we wanted to go.

Dairy House is a comfortable home for four people, in a pretty village, with good access to the North York Moors. Downstairs bedroom for a disabled person proved several yards from the downstairs bathroom.

The location was superb. The steam train from Pickering to Whitby is an absolute must. The local pub "White Swan" served fantastic food and had friendly staff. Fresh farm eggs from the farm across from the the duck pond are delicious!

Excellent all round - seemed personal & very welcoming with card and wine on arrival!

The accommodation was very good with lots to do within a 30 mile radius. There were some very nice walks in the countryside around the cottage.

Comfortable, peaceful, relaxing. Just the cottage we were looking for. Ideal.

It was not long enough - wish we had booked for longer!

Ideal for disabled persons, all major tourist areas not too far away. Pub serves excellent meals. Very quiet area, great for total relaxation. All in all good value for money.

There was a good range of things to do within a reasonable drive to cater for our interests, including things for our small children. We particularly enjoyed the beach at Sandsend, just North of Whitby; the NYMR; and Flamingoland!

We have used this cottage on numerous occasions over the past 10+ years and have always enjoyed our stay here. It is an ideal base for touring North Yorkshire and would recommend it to others.

The decor of the cottage was very welcoming and we appreciated the Christmas decorations.

Comfortable cottage, very peaceful village.

Lovely , quiet location

Plenty of local walks from the cottage and views of the North York Moors Railway. Cawthorn Roman Army Earthworks,(on the road to Cropton), are worth a visit and the views over forests and moors are fantastic.

Great childrens play area.Pub now serves food.

We have used this cottage on numerous occasions and would use it again
