The garden was perfect for relaxing at the end of a long day walking on the moors.Wonderful views from the cottage both front and back.We will def. return and book again ##### Richard S. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David W. 29 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Highly recommended We would recommend a holiday at "Fern Lea" in Glaisdale. It is a very well organised and comfortable place to stay, winter or summer. The view from the front of the bungalow, across part of the North York Moors, is truly spectacular on a clear day. When we stayed we had the pleasure of brand new bed linen and towels. On-site parking for two cars is also a welcome advantage. ##### David W. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel P. 8 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Practical ample clean cottage This cottage is nice and clean, quiet yet close to restaurants (Wheatsheaf is real good), and a drive away from hikes.It is good for a family with kids. I stayed with my wife only by the way. Kitchen is well equipped for the impromptu breakfast and dinner if you came back with groceries.Thanks Tom !!!Highly recommended!Thanks a lot ! ##### Daniel P. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Colin 20 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication This is a good value, spacious, comfortable stop for all coast to coast walkers - right on the route. There’s a pub within 200 yards serving ok beer and huge plates of good food. Train station too. There is little exterior appeal to the property, but it’s got all you need with an extremely pleasant outlook, both front and back. Not advertised but clean towels were provided, plus tea/ coffee bits. No hesitation in recommending, our party of 3 were all very happy with the stay. ##### Colin Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Host Stay Lop Hall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Host-Stay-Lop-Hall.h97559720.Hotel-Information) > > [Thorpe Green House Vegetarian Bed and Breakfast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-Thorpe-Green-House-Vegetarian-Bed-And-Breakfast.h14652382.Hotel-Information) > > [Saltmoore](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-Raithwaite-Sandsend.h4276816.Hotel-Information) > > [Chapel Cottage - Flyingthorpe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-Chapel-Cottage-Flyingthorpe.h39629338.Hotel-Information) > > [Resolution Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-Resolution-Hotel.h8474093.Hotel-Information) > > [Clinker Cottage](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-Clinker-Cottage.h41923679.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [Splash Landings Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Splash-Landings-Hotel.h1160988.Hotel-Information) > > [The Old Surgery.
