Ideally situated for exploring the Yorkshire Coast and the North York Moors, this idyllic cottage makes a fabulous holiday home for up to four guests. Perfect for couples and families seeking a quiet getaway, the cottage is just half a mile from the tranquil village of Silpho. The village stands on the level heights of the Tabular Hills and is surrounded by beautiful scenery and limestone hills offering miles of glorious walks and bike trails. Heading to the coast, the seaside resort of Scarborough is just 8 miles away with its stunning beach, cliff tramways and Luna Park. Further along the coast, there’s the serene village of Robin Hood’s Bay and the popular town of Whitby, both within 16 miles.

Entering this light and beautifully furnished property, the cosy lounge makes an ideal space to get together and relax at the end of a memorable day. With exposed ceiling beams and a welcoming wood burner, the lounge is perfect for sitting back, watching a movie or chatting about the day’s events. Exploring further, the kitchen/diner provides a lovely spot for getting together to cook and enjoy all your favourite meals. There’s an additional dining space in the conservatory, along with extra seating so you can catch up with a good book. The ground floor also has a refreshing wet room. Heading upstairs, there are two delightful bedrooms to choose between, each with exposed beams and original artwork: there’s a double room and a sweet twin room, each with fantastic country views.

Outside, the large garden has plenty of flowers, shrubs and herbaceous borders with a patio offering a delightful spot for a BBQ or a morning coffee as you admire the views of the Dalby Forest and the North York Moors. There’s also a big children’s play area with a swing, seesaw and slide.

The cottage has everything as described, and more, Mr & Mrs Dickinson were very helpful and provided some useful advice, being local to the property. Views from the (dog secure) garden included some stunning sunsets.

Our first time at this lovely cottage and we can see from previous reviews and the visitors book why people return again and again; a beautiful location within easy driving distance of the stunning North Yorkshire coastline and pretty villages. The cottage was very well equipped, clean and welcoming. The owners, Carol and David, were friendly and Read morehelpful - close by should you need them, but not at all intrusive. The garden: just wow!!! HUGE, beautifully tended and with stunning views. There was a real sense of peace and privacy here. We were blessed with fantastic weather (which always helps), but this cottage, with its cosy lounge and conservatory is a perfect haven to relax in if the weather isnt so great. Highly recommended.

Binkleys cottage is a really wonderful holiday retreat, we absolutely loved our time there. It has a lovely feel the minute you walk in - cozy, clean, bright and welcoming. We made good use of the sun lounge area during the day - perfect for relaxing and reading a book (the weather unfortunately wasn't great so we had limited time sitting in the Read moregarden!) and the lounge with log burner was so comfy for evening time. The garden is simply amazing - our 3 dogs were in heaven - and the views are pretty stunning also. We appreciated the goodies left by Carol and Dave too - it was lovely to meet them when we arrived, all very welcoming. We fully intend to return. Hide

I found the cottage by using my satnav which took me straight there. On arrival I was met by the owner who explained everything I needed to know. I like to cook my own food and everything that I needed to use was there. Not only was it there but it was well organised and easy to find. I like the idea of sitting in front of a wood burner so I used iRead moret a couple of times. The large garden was brilliant for walking around with the dogs first thing in the morning and last thing at night. The house was very peaceful which allowed me to work on my autobiography, the bad weather (expected) also helped in this. Local facilities for shopping are not far away as is Scarborough and Robin Hood's Bay and Whitby. All in all a great week's holiday.. The WiFi was better than expected. Hide

Beautiful cottage , amazing garden , location great for forest walks, country walks etc. You feel like you are in the middle of no where very tranquil but only ten minutes drive to Supermarket and the sea . Love the log burner especially for a autumn/winter break and the heated floor in the wet room. Love it our 3rd stay hopefully not our last.
