Lovely cottage in peaceful surroundings in the heart of Dalby Forest just a short walk from the Visitor's Centre & other park amenities. Comfortable & cosy once we got the heating going, nice bathroom with huge shower cubicle and plenty of hot water on demand. Exceptionally well-equipped kitchen.

Heron Cottage was a wonderful, calm place to stay.The gardens where amazing,set out for meditation,and relaxation. There is no phone signal and it's beautifully set in fantastic surroundings. Ian was a fantastic host,and fully available for any problems. Would highly recommend this stay.Planning on returning soon .

I spent many years delivering MOD survival training around the Cropton/Langdale forest areas and was looking for a central location to revisit some of our old sites. Heron Cottage provided an ideal base for this and also allows for easy access to both the Moors and coast. Despite nestling within Dalby Forest the clear and concise directions made it easy to find. The cottage is as described and provides a warm and homely bolt hole at the end of a long day. The welcome pack was appreciated, particularly the fresh bread and seasonal mince pies. My dogs crashed every night despite the best efforts of the owls to wake them. Guests should be aware that the Cottage is semi-detached and does sit immediately adjacent to the main house. That said during my stay it was very peaceful and you don’t have to walk far to find solitude and reconnect with nature.

Cosy cottage with everything you need for a relaxing break. Comfy bed and really appreciated the milk and bread etc on arrival. Set in beautiful grounds with walks in the forest on your doorstep, a really special place.

Lovely cottage in beautiful settings of Dalby forest. Very clean, had everything you need even had fresh eggs and bread waiting for us. Very quiet and peaceful perfect if you just want to get away from everything. Host Ian brilliant very good communication from the off. Yes you need to read the small print (not clear on air bnb but written by a third party) where the hot tub is down a little path and it’s shared with one other cottage but if you just drop him a message and let him know when you need it he sorts it all for you. Very comfy bed ( my other half’s picky when it comes to beds and he slept great ) good water pressure in shower etc everything you need. Especially as so close to Whitby it’s very cheap for what you get! Will be coming back again

The magic of this place is in its quiet beauty that makes you just slow down and relax. We took our two dogs and they also loved it. Ian couldn’t of been any better as a host….Reminded me of the shop keeper in Mr Ben. There was everything we needed and the cottage was equipped with exactly what you want, including the delicious crusty local bread that we devoured after a long walk. Loved the place.

I would think carefully before booking. Host and Stay are a terrible business. The property was unclean, dirty utensils, crumbs in cupboards, hair from previous guest, black gunk in the bathroom sink, full dishwasher, frozen milk, no coffee and a broken piece of glass was found. We raised with the owner Ian. Yet nobody will accept any blame, even after photos were shown. I paid for exclusivity of the hot tub yet was asked by the owner if next door could use it. The hot tube isn't by the house as the pictures show. Its up a poor lit path which runs along side the main house and then up a little hill so you walk up in a towel!! The mattress is like a canyon and is very uncomfortable. Its overpriced for what you get and I wouldn't choose to return.

Peace and quiet in the beautiful Dalby Forest with 7acres of grounds to explore. Breakfast can be ordered from the hosts but the kitchen and cottage are very well equipped to cook your own too. You can also book to use a hot tub and sauna.

A lovely cottage in a wonderful location. Peaceful and relaxing. The cottage is like home away from home. We would love to return and would highly recommend to family and friends. The hot tub is lovely addition (£10 surcharge, we weren’t aware of this on booking though).
