Host & Stay | Anvil Cottage — Guest Reviews

It truly felt like a home away from home. The cozy bedroom for our little one made her feel settled and happy from the moment we arrived. We were all sad to leave, and we’ll definitely be booking here again.

Loved Anvil Cottage! Positive: Very comfortable cottage with everything you need. Some supplies in kitchen cupboards, soaps etc in the bathroom, games, dvds and a nice selection of books to read. The flat was very clean and beds comfy. Loved the bird-inspired decor! The cottage was also very quiet and right near a bus stop for York. Beautiful old buildings, fab shops and a wonderful bakery on Kirkbymoorside high street, and some beautiful walks around the village. All round a super stay. Highly recommend! Negative: I have no negative comments to make - all good!

Lovely second stay at this wonderful market town of Kirkbymoorside. First time since new owners took over. The house was exactly how it was from our first stay… few things have changed and most notably would take your own fire stick or other device for using Netflix etc… so would be good to make more clear on amenities section. Milk sachet’s left, and coffee and tea. Shampoo are small little packet type single use and individual hand soap. Dishwasher tablets left and a couple of bin bags to start you off if staying a little longer. The house can get cold quite quickly and had to check in with host to turn up the heating. The thermometer is not on the shelf in the hallway but outside on the wall near the bathroom… Bedding clean and fresh and nice towels. Doggy bag with bowls in the cupboard and towels. Overall a lovely stay in a great little cottage and wonderful town. There is now a mobile chippy can that comes to the market place on a Saturday at 6.30…. Amazing!!!!

Lovely cottage, beautiful area. Positive: The cottage was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. Situated just of main street, 2 hotels (for food) and a friendly pub within easy walking distance. A variety of small shops, and parking available. Beautiful area, we enjoyed our stay very much.

Very quiet and comfortable house. Positive: Comfortable place. Nice and quiet. In a very nice small town with lots of facilities and a nice little market. No issues with on street parking just a few feet away. Well equipped kitchen. Roomy lounge for four adults. Negative: Not much outside space. A couple of chairs outside the front door. But if you’re out and about all day that’s not a problem

Positive: Comfortable, quite, well located

A very easy to find and pleasant place to stay. It was very relaxing to stay here.

Lovely cottage, no issues with parking. Great location. Spacious. Just a couple of things it didn't have were no handwash or handtowel in the bathroom. No kitchen which would be useful. Otherwise lovely place

Lovely cottage. Very central to everything with lots to see and do. In a quiet spot off the road. Spotlessly clean. Very friendly neighbours. Would stay here again.

A real 'find' Positive: The house was comfortable, with everything you needed supplied. Well situated both for local facilities and as a good central starting point for the area. Negative: Having to park away from the property across a busy road. Being in close proximity to the neighbours opposite, when sitting outside (though they were friendly enough!)

A lovely little cottage, cosy and homely, really well equipped and thought out with everything we needed. Helpful and friendly host. Parking was easy to find on the street outside the entrance way.

Fabulous cottage, well stocked, comfortable and beautifully appointed. Communication was excellent too and information provided was helpful and plentiful. Great location too, in the centre of the village. Would recommend and would definitely return. Thank you!

We had the most amazing stay at Anvil Cottage. It is situated in the most beautiful little village with everything you need right on the doorstep. The cottage is just off the main road and very quiet. It had everything we needed and was clean and lovely inside. We can’t wait to return!

We really enjoyed our stay at Anvil cottage. Was well equipped, clean and in great location and the host was wonderful. Highly recommend for other guests. 😊

A lovely long weekend at Anvil Cottage, focused on the Kirkbymooreside music festival which was great fun! The cottage is ideally located in town, very comfortable and well equipped. We managed a trip to the coast and into York for an evening too, just an hours drive each time. Thanks.

Great stay! Exactly how described. Very comfy and lovely location. Would stay again.

Had a lovely stay in this cottage, which is just off the main road through Kirkbymoorside (very little traffic noise - nice and peaceful!). All very practical with a toddler and space for a cot in the smaller bedroom. Great location for lots of activities e.g. North York Moors railway, Whitby etc. And some really lovely local walks. Clean and cosy and all amenities listed.

The house was even better in person than it looked in the pictures. Very cozy and comfortable, quiet, and equipped with all the amenities. The living room is beautiful, complete with an electric stove. The location is perfect: there’s parking, it’s right in the heart of the village close to many little shops and the market, and it’s an excellent base for day trips.Perhaps the only flaw was that it needed a bit more attention to cleanliness, specifically there was a little dust and the table wasn't clean, but I trust it was just an oversight.Oh, it's also worth mentioning the communication with the agency managing it: they were always available, ready to answer any questions, and provided truly excellent assistance.

A lovely homely cottage, comfortable and quiet. We enjoyed our weekend stay and liked being in the centre of Kirbymoorside but just off the main street.

Beautiful little cottage. very well equipped and spitlessly clean.

nice and relaxing Positive: good location and clean Negative: cleaning cloths or pan cleaners would have been good

We had a great few days at Anvil Cottage. The property was cosy, very comfortable and well equipped. Quiet, private location. Near to a good selection of shops, pubs and cafes. Great park just around the corner and not far to plenty of interesting places/days out.

Lovely cottage, very comfortable, easy to find and parking on the street was never an issue

Lovely cottage in attractive and quiet location.

Couldn’t have asked for anything more! Just what we wanted for a peaceful stay while we explored the area. Thank you

Loved our stay, enjoyed visiting Ryedale auction house which was just around the corner.

Delightful place. Super clean. Beautifully colour co-ordinated in all the rooms. Loads of amenities. Good comfortable beds. Easy on street parking. Just lovely all round.

A lovely little cottage, and very quiet, even though it was just off the main road. Very good, clear check-in communication too

Lovely Positive: It was a very lovely little place. Really enjoyed the stay. Negative: Everything, apart from places to eat near by.

The cottage was just as described, very comfy and clean. Perfect location and very quiet. I had realised there is no garden by the pictures but was surprised to find it was on street parking. This actually was better than expected as there were always spaces nearby and no charge for parking.

On my list when I come to the area again Positive: Very comfortable, clean and homely. Great location in lovely little town

Stay went well, no real problems. Would have been good to have had a through draft in very hot weather.

A great stay again at this cottage , really good night sleep as very private would definitely book again, thanks

Another great stay at the cottage, great sleep as it’s so quiet, would stay again and that was our second time. Thanks

A1 - first class accommodation Positive: Accommodation was absolutely superb. Cleanliness fantastic , everything you could possibly need and location just set back from main road meant zero road noise or disturbance. Cannot be faulted👍 Negative: Nothing

Great cottage, great place. Host was very helpful

We had a great stay at Dales place. It's in a great location being so close to shops, cafes and pubs etc. There's some fantastic walks really close by too. The cottage is clean, nicely furnished and the kitchen had every utensil you could possibly want. We look forward to staying again.

Anvil Cottage was in a great location for us. Locality has everything you need from pub to supermarket. Cottage is clean and in great order. Only thing to remember is you can’t park at the property but you can on the nearby road subject to how busy it is. We didn’t have a problem

Had a great stay at Anvil Cottage. Very homely, clean and comfortable. This was our 2nd stay and it was just as enjoyable. Good pubs and shops very close by and just a short drive to nearby towns.
