This was our second visit to Riccal Heads cottage. Again the cottage was clean, warm and contained everything we could’ve needed for our stay.The local area is beautiful with lovely walks to villages.I’d highly recommend this cottage for a break to get away from it all!
We had a wonderful stay in this lovely property. The owners were so welcoming, flowers and wine on arrival. The views are stunning and there is so much to see and do in the area. Highly recommend.

The cottage was absolutely lovely! There was so many little touches that made it, for example there was a bread maker and dry ingredients which meant we had fresh bread one morning! We was greeted with milk, wine and flowers!!
The cottage is decorated beautifully! Would definitely recommend! :)
Lovely location and scenery!
The local pubs were great too!

Riccal Heads was the perfect place to stay on our visit to the North Yorkshire Moors. Spacious, comfortable, well-appointed and beautifully situated with great views as far as the eye can see, we would not hesitate to return to this cottage for a longer holiday in the future.

A great cottage in a wonderful location.
A great cottage in a wonderful location. We had a great weekend getaway. Just a shame that the cost for a weekend was almost the same as would be for a 7 night stay. We still had a wonderful time though. The bread maker and ingredients to have freshly made bread each morning is a real selling point.
We'll definitely be back.

We had a lovely week in this cottage. Our only regret was that the garden was not dog proof for our 9 month old puppy - but this is our fault not theirs. We were very lucky with the weather as it stayed dry all week. Will definitely return when it is a bit warmer! Thank you
