The cottage is well placed in a beautiful village. However access and locating the key safe was tricky. 1. The kitchen needs updating and is too small to eat in. 2. The washer on the kitchen tap needs fixing and dripped incessantly. 3. The towel rail in the shower room was broken and it was too cold to use the shower 4. There were no tea towels provided or washing up brush. Consequently with no dish washer it was hard to clean mugs and plates 5. The cottage is more suitable for three people as the second bedroom is quite small 6. On the plus side, the village and surroundings are gorgeous

The cottage is sweet, amenities are great, neighbours are lovely, location is fabulous! However I wouldn’t recommend as the cottage isn’t very comfortable and has some issues. There isn’t much room in the lounge for two adults, certainly not for four adults as listed. The shower upstairs trickled out until it stopped all together. We had a power cut with no candles or lanterns supplied. The upstairs toilet leaked into the kitchen and didn’t work. But what affected us the most was the beds. The guest bed is so loud it continually woke us all up (even in the next room with the doors closed). The mattress in the main bedroom is so old and unsupportive that we dreaded going to bed, as we knew we’d wake multiple times during the night in such pain. We are young and fit, so anyone with back issues would be worse off I’d imagine… sort these issues and the cottage would be ranked 5

Beautiful village. Whilst the cottage could sleep 4 people, it could not accommodate 4 people in the living area or dining area. Could do with updating/paint refresh and the kitchen could have done with a good clean. Hob and kettle were dirty. Better instructions are needed for the location of the key box. There was no space for us to park at the back due to other cars. To be honest I don't think we would have got our large people carrier through the gate.

Great place to stay & great value for money. Access instructions could be better, but we were warned in previous comments, so not a problem and we arrived in daylight. A house number & name on the back DEFINATELY a good idea. Switches for towel rails could be labelled and included in instructions. Heating and hot water seemed to be a little iffy, but OK for our stay. Could be a bit tight for 2 couples. There is a friendly dog (and neighbour) next door, but we didn't have any problem with mess on the shared garden. Overall, a bit old and tired, but great location and value for money. I would definatly revisit if I was in the area again.

Wonderful little cottage. It would be useful if the description of the key box location from the front of the house was more detailed - e.g. use the pathway 3 houses to the right that looks private, and it's a shared garden with a friendly dog likely going to run up to you.

We were looking forward to spending Christmas in Osmotherley where my family live. To ease pressure on my sister's house, we rented Grange Cottage for my immediate family of four. There was no hot water for the entirity of our stay. The agency did their best to solve the problem but a part was needed so that was obviously not going to be available over a holiday period.The cottage was poorly presented - very shabby and dusty with stained crockery and cushions. The sitting room had inadequate seating for four people. Virtually no fuel was provided with the woodburner. No effort had been made to welcome us at Christmas - no milk, no bread no decorations. To reach to cottage key box we had to stumble in the dark across a garden covered in dog mess and then down a set of slippery steps with no hand rail. All in all a really terrible experience which really spoiled our Christmas this year. Osmotherley is a beautiful village but this cottage was the very opposite.

This is a great cottage in a fantastic location in Osmotherley. We found it cosy and clean. Luckily we read other reviews with detailed instructions of how to access the property from the back in order to find the key pad, but it wasn’t clear which was the correct house when accessing in the dark through the back garden (a house number at the back would have helped). Also, before being given the keypad code we had to pay extra damage waiver fees which were not advertised on the listing.

The cottage was nice and clean in a lovely village with an amazing cafe. The checking in was very stressful as we arrived in the dark and quite late so there was no one to ask. Wouldn't recommend this property if you are arriving in the evening.

A great location and has all the amenities you could need. Perfect for us as a couple with a baby, though I think you'd struggle if you were 4 adults staying there! We enjoyed our stay and would come back again, thank you!

I'm afraid the photos on here make the cottage look much bigger, brighter and generally nicer than the reality. The decor was old and tired. The carpets very old and worn. The matresses on the beds were extremely old and saggy, partially saved by mattress toppers but still not a very comfortable night's sleep. I would say value for money was not very good at all. A lot of room for improvement. The positives were the beautiful garden (although be aware this is shared with someone else including a dog) and the lovely location of Osmotherley. Some other small issues were a drippy tap in the kitchen that is difficult to turn off fully and a shower upstairs with a stand that only has one very awkwardly angled setting.

Lovely village location. The house was adequate, one of the bedrooms had an ensuite bathroom the other smaller one had the use of the downstairs bathroom. The stairs were rather steep so care should be taken. Unfortunately the house was not cleaned properly. The toilet and fridge were dirty and the crockery and utensils had to be washed before use. The instructions for gaining access to the propety were inadequate (entry is by the rear door). Fortunately the neighbour helped us and he apparentely often had to do so.

Enjoyable stay in this beautiful cottage, perfect to explore the national parks. Steep stairs to the bedrooms, so not suitable for people who have difficulty with climbing stairs. Well equipped kitchen and very clean all over. The key safe is at the back of the cottage, access via a road round the corner via Back Lane.

We just had a great weekend staying at the Grange cottage in Osmotherly. It is a cute little cottage . We were very comfortable and it worked well for us. We wanted to do lots of walking eating and resting together. The walks nearby are beautiful, the tea shop and the fish shop were perfect for our needs and Mount Grace was very interesting when we needed a more afternoon. Northallerton has a great selection of shops and a market in the Main Street. Everyone we met was friendly. Our village at home has a lot less amenities it was lovely to stay here. Best of all was my companions. Communication with Host and Stay was good. The property was how we expected.There is an extra form which is optional. I chose to opt out. Just ask and Host and Stay will keep you informed.

Nice cottage in a fantastic location, in the centre of town with three pubs with great food and beer only a short stumble away. The local shop is small, but we’ll stocked by a friendly woman. The cottage is bedded for four people, but there is no real space for four people to sit down for a meal. Steep stairs are challenging and may be of concern to those with small children. The kitchen is tight, but well equipped with a modern washer/dryer and a lot of utensils. Great parking space at the back, nice and big shared garden with friendly neighbours and a dog (the dog may come and greet you if he’s in the garden when you arrive). The neighbours even gave our kids some toys to play with when we were in the garden. Tall people, watch your heads, the doors inside have only about 1.8 m headroom. And finally, the key box is at the _back_ of the house, not the front.

A cosy cottage in a lovely village. Fine for two or three people but possibly too small for four. Steep staircase and steps from the garden so difficult for anyone with mobility problems. Very clean and tidy and the tea, coffee and milk when we got there was most welcome.

We had a lovely stay in Osmotherly, wonderful location for exploring the Moors. The info provided by host and stay was excellent in helping us find the accomodation and parking spot. The accomodation was clean an tidy when we arrived. The kitchen area is smaller than it appears on the photos but the kitchen is well kitted out.

The cottage gave us exactly what we were looking for and that was somewhere cosy and quiet to relax and unwind. We tested all 3 pubs and the cafe and managed an 8 mile walk across black Hambleton which was excellent and provided outstanding views over to the pennines and Yorkshire dales. we would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone else looking for the same.

This is a lovely, quaint cottage in a peaceful, picture postcard Yorkshire village. A perfect location. The cottage is well stocked with everything that is needed for a short stay. I will happily stay again. There are a few minor things that I think are worth knowing, but are part of the character & charm of an old cottage 1. the route from the parking area to the cottage involves walking across grass, which over Christmas was a bit muddy and slippy. To be honest I tried to park on the street and use the front door to avoid this, or even walking the long way round to the front door. Though this wasn't an option when checking in and out. 2. the back street and entrance to the car park is very tight. I'm sure that for normal, family sized cars it is fine, but I was in an large Audi and it took several manoeuvers to get through the tight gate 3. the main bedroom was slightly cooler than the rest of the house. It was not a big problem but noticeable for the 1 night when the temperature dropped below freezing. 4. I was initially requested to complete additional Id verification using Superhog, who wanted a copy of my drivers licence / passport. I didn't feel comfortable with this

Really great location in Osmotherly and amazing communication from the host but note that the living room feels smaller than the photos show (there was 3 of us and the living room felt cramped).
