Wonderful Stay

Had a wonderful stay at Sunny Dale Cottage the property is beautifully presented and looks exactly like the photos. It was spotlessly clean and very well equipped and in a fantastic location just behind the main street in Thornton Le Dale and within easy reach of Dalby Forest, Scarborough, Eden Camp and Flamingo Land all of which we visited during our stay. Easy check in and check out, communication and booking process couldnt have been easier. Would definitely stay again

Great Accommodation and Location

Lovely cottage, comfortable, clean and well equipped. Couple of things, better mirrors in bedrooms would be useful. Washing up bowl needed as sink is very big and needs a lot of water. Cleaning under cushions on sofa needed. Location is great and surrounding countryside and drive to coast is fantastic. Very pretty village and we shall return.
