This was our 4th visit and booked for next year. Sue has thought of everything, house is very spacious and comfortable and cakes are delicious - we've tried them all. The views are amazing even when weather not so good and lots of wildlife just outside the windows
Excellent warm and cosy accommodation very clean and comfortable, just what was needed during the two storms. All you need is provided . Sue’s hospitality as always was exceptional.
Once again a lovely stay in a truly special place. Fantastic view across the bay and always a warm welcome awaits with delicious home made cake and Galloway Ice Cream.
What a wonderful place to stay. We needed a holiday that took us to a peaceful place and we certainly had that with views of the sea and the sunrise. We and our dog were made welcome and the facilities were very good, even down to warm water in the tap outside for washing mud off boots and the dog. We will be back.
We spent a few days in Creel cottage last week. It is an amazing cottage, well equipped beautifully located and very cozy. Couldn't ask for better. Sue is a very welcoming host and nothing is too much bother. Great to have the enclosed garden too as we brought the dog. If you want to get away from it all this is the perfect place.
The property is ideally placed for access for fishing in Ross Bay. It was just right for me after a tiring days fishing to be able to prepare a meal,relax and prepare for the following day. Unfortunately, I didn't find the fishing good on the days I visited with strong North West winds and a heavy swell, so I departed early before the end of my tenure.
We booked last minute. Location was pretty village with 2 quality hotels and very safe. Had a bus route into Helmsley but times were confusing and irregular. Closest shop about 8 minutes drive. Working phone box opposite the cottage but unfortunately soon to go due to lack of use. There's a very pretty and welcoming church a few doors down and if you want to go swimming at The Star Hotel it advertised @£25 for 4 people/hour. Unfortunately it was not worth it for just myself but would have loved to have gone. The house was dog friendly, very spacious rooms with downstairs toilet and boot room....more
