We really enjoyed our stay at Dove Grey, the place was well thought out and comfortable with plenty of space for us all. Easy to get to the coast and York and surrounding villages ie Hemsley Pickering etc Only issues: 1. was the double key locks on the door which we found tricky and 2. the fry/wok pan were unusable, need to be replaced, 3. Bedroom windows on the first floor need a good clean as black mould could be seen. One other point was the outside “dog station” needs some attention to make it usable, either proper grass or fake, our dog wouldn’t use it, but there is a handy bit of grass just down the road Otherwise we had a very enjoyable stay here with pubs within walking distance.

House is in a great location in centre of Kirbymoorside. It had everything we needed, although some of the furniture felt a bit tired (dining room chairs were all wobbly). It was a shame check in was so late at 4pm. House was not clean when we got in- things were clean to the eye but the kitchen and bathrooms in particular had not been cleaned properly. Bin bags from previous guests left by back door untied so the area was full of flies. We were disappointed with the cleanliness considering the high price you pay for cleaning and the late check in is to allow for deep cleaning. We also had to make our own bed. We still haven’t had the security deposit returned to us 14 days after check out. I would advise others to consider when booking- there is a high cleaning fee and you either have to pay them an insurance policy for damage, or pay a large security deposit, which they charge an admin fee to return it back to you (and we have delays getting it back).

We stayed here over Christmas in order to be close to family and we had a lovely stay. The cottage is as described and was a great layout for us as a family with two children who used the adjoining room and my mother had a very comfortable king room on the floor below. We were grateful to the hosts for making sure the house was lovely and warm for our arrival and for the Xmas tree they which made our stay festive. We had a couple of issues (no tea towels, kitchen needed a bit more cleaning and doors need some wd40) which I’m sure will be rectified for future guests as the company hosting were very responsive. The cottage was warm throughout our stay and lovely bed linen/ towels and starter toiletries provided. The location was great for us visiting family in york and we enjoyed a trip to Helmsley. Note the stairs are quite steep and only a bathroom on second floor so not suitable for those with mobility issues and had my children been younger I would have required a stair gate.

Perfect for us as a family of 4 (and dog!). Close to town centre, easy drive to many locations in and around the moors and coastal areas. Town centre Pubs, take aways and supermarkets all made the stay really stress free and relaxed. 10/10

Great little place to stay right in the heart of the village. The wheely bin in the back courtyard was overflowing with rubbish so not a pleasant place to sit. There is free street parking if you are lucky and find a space.

We visited the property for a birthday weekend with family. It was exactly as described and really well equipped. Immaculately clean. Loved the touch’s with the coffee machine and orange juicer. We brought our two dogs and appreciated the patch of grass in the courtyard, useful for quick toilet breaks. Personally, we found the instructions about the rubbish and recycling quite confusing as they referred to bins and boxes that weren’t there. A small thing. Finally, I would like to mention the late check in time of 4 pm and early check out of 10 (clocks changed, so even earlier for us). I know you need time to clean but 6 hours? - a slightly later check out time, say 11 am would have given us a more time to enjoy the property.

Clean, comfortable and well-equipped cottage. Location is great...groceries, drink and food in walking distance, and a fantastic base for exploring further afield in the area. Note - there is a compulsory security deposit organised just before check in that costs a minimum of £10

Kirkbymoorside is a lovely village just by the North York Moors National Park. This cottage is right in the heart of the village, and we really enjoyed our stay here. It is well-located for walking and sight-seeing, and welcoming to return to at the end of each day. The beds were very comfortable.

We enjoyed every minute of this stay at a great house. The layout was perfect for us, we were able to put our young daughter in the adjoining bedroom so she was nearby. The en-suite in the top bedroom was fabulous, the house was immaculately clean and had literally everything you could need. The location was great. Kirkbymoorside was a super friendly town and a great base for exploring the dales. We had a day out to york as well. The spar and co-op are really handy. Brilliant place to stay, hope we can visit again soon.

Unfortunately when we arrived, there were the previous guests bin bags out at the front of the property and the bins out the back overflowing, which hadnt been picked up, in the middle of summer which meant there was an awful smell until the were finally collected 6 days after we had checked in. Only 4 forks in a guest house that slept 6 so we had to buy extra cutlery. Kitchen was dirty and we spent our first evening cleaning. Communication with host and stay was ok and they tried to resolve the issues but the bins were never taken away, as we had hoped the next day after we had checked in. Cottage in itself is lovely with nice linen and towels, just needs a deep clean. We were happy enough with location. Parking can be a bit hit and miss.

A lovely, clean and comfortable cottage in a beautiful part of the country. Parking was a bit hit and miss but to be expected in a market town.

A lovely house - bigger than we thought and a great base to explore Yorkshire. Even though it’s on street parking we managed to either park in front of the property of fairy close to.

This is a fantastic, charming property in an ideal location for exploring North Yorkshire and all it has to offer. The property was very clean and well equipped, in a lovely quiet location with a great selection of shops/ bakeries, and pubs within walking distance. There's no dedicated parking but we didn't struggle to park on the street for free nearby. Kirkbymoorisde is also a fantastic base from which to explore the coast, moors, FlamingoLand, and various heritage properties. We would definitely return and recommend.
