10.0+The location
−It wasn't clear that if we wanted the hot tub hot on arrival that we would have to book the butler service. So it was stone cold and we wasted an evening lighting it. Normally when you tell a place that you are going to use the hot tub they light it for your arrival. Mix up in communication so just wanted to flag so that any other couples who are only staying one night don't get disappointed.

10.0“Perfect!”
+There was nothing that we didn’t like other than we wish we could stay longer! Everything was super clean, comfortable and the location was perfect! We went for my mums 60th and they provided a birthday banner and the little welcome pack was lovely. We can’t wait to come back.

10.0“We’d highly recommend and would love to return again.”
+Crossing Cottage is a little piece of paradise. Our weekend here felt luxurious and relaxing. The cottage had everything we needed and more. The cottage has been renovated to an excellent standard and Karen and Darren have thought of everything, including the amazing welcome pack. The cottage, garden and hot tub overlook fields which we could sit and stare at for hours. Helmsley was a 3 minute drive or 30 (ish) min walk away. Here we found the best deli, lovely shops, pubs and a spa. We spent one day walking the beautiful Cleveland Way to Rievaulx Abbey. This took about 4 hours at a leisurely pace, with a stop for lunch and a drink on the way.
−Nothing.

10.0“Beautiful cottage in great location”
+Had the most wonderful and relaxing stay at Crossing Cottage. The location allows for a great mix of being easily accessible and close to local amenities, but also offering a sense of being remote, where you can immerse yourself in the beautiful surrounding countryside. A great base from which to explore the North York Moors, the cottage is very comfortable and beautifully presented. Exceptionally welcoming and friendly hosts that strike the right balance of being on hand but also allowing you privacy. A morning brew listening to curlew, and watching the barn owl quartering in a neighbouring field each evening, were an unexpected highlight for us. If you want to escape daily life and refresh, I would highly recommend a stay at this beautifully presented and maintained cottage. Absolute bliss, thank you Karen and Darren.
