Loved the hot tub and private garden as we had 2 dogs. The walk in the forest was lovely and convenient as on our doorstep. If we were being picky, the road leading to the property was at times quite bumpy, so caution with speed is required, but what the property itself has to offer made up for it. It is a home away from home and a good place to getaway from the hustle of life.

Our stay here was fantastic. The cottage was clean, spacious, clean, and well equipped. The staff was very attentive, beginning with precise directions to get there and continuing throughout our stay. The hot tub was great and we had a couple clear nights for star gazing. We highly recommended Middlehead Cottages!!

Seclusion, stunning scenery, excellent welcome

Excellent communication, the welcome/check in was spot on. Location is secluded but directions from the team really accurate. Hottub was a bonus and the sense of really getting away from bustle of life is what sets this place apart from the rest. Very easy access to the North Yorkshire Moors and heritage railway too.

A great relaxing break. We loved it. Accomodation was spotlessly clean. In the middle of nowhere which was perfect for us. Lots of nice walks and the hot tub was lush

Lovely setup with everything you could need for longer stays. Tricky to find with Google though. A real plus was being able to see the stars, which was incredible, from the hot tub. Thank you.

What a treat

Fantastic property and host. We arrived just after chick in time, the hot tub was ready and up to temperature for us to use it straight away if we like, with complimentary spa dressinggowns and slippers. Also there were complimentary teas and coffies, bred jam and butter, milk and watter. We had always had enough logs for our fire and there were even dog treats for our little pet.

Had a super weekend break here. Location was great, right in the middle of the forest area with endless walks on the doorstep. Very clean, very comfortable. Had an excellent night’s sleep. Kids loved the hot tub. We’ll definitely be back x
