Question

​

Answer

Not at present

 

Question

Do you require a deposit?

​

Answer

Yes. For the B&B, please get in touch. For the cottages, because we are contracted to English Country Cottages, we do not have a Book Now credit card button, so you need to phone or e-mail us to Book Now.  To confirm the booking, we normally ask for a bank transfer or cheque deposit (Sorry but deposit is non-refundable). If you prefer a bank transfer, please let us know and we will send you the details. If you want to pay in currency other than £sterling, please ask, and we have another option.

 

Question

When is Check-in Time?

​

Answer

Checking in time is usually about 5:00 p.m.. It is important you are aware that the rooms may not be ready before 5:00 p.m. - I am slow -, but you are always welcome to come into our greenhouse/garden room and sit down when you arrive earlier than 5:00 p.m..

 

Question

When is breakfast?

​

Answer

Earliest breakfast is 8:00 a.m., then 8:30 and 9:00.

 

Question

Lunch and Evening Meals for Walkers or Cyclists?

​

Answer

Sorry, no. The only remaining pub in the village, the Arncliffe Arms (01947 897555) is 3/4 mile away  (a 20 minute walk downhill and a 30- minute walk back uphill for a 81-year-old woman who is not a proper walker!), and for a variety of reasons (legal, practical, etc.), we cannot offer a lift to the pub. It's a good idea to bring a small torch or head torch for the walk back. Also, taxis are available for £15.00 to £30.00 each way (have to come from Whitby).

Question

Is Wi-Fi free?

​

Answer

Yes, free Wi-Fi for the house and cottages.

 

Question

We are doing the Coast-to-Coast. Do you take Coast-to-Coasters?

​

Answer

Yes, we are happy to take Coast-to-Coast walkers or bikers/cyclists.  I am currently editing the Printable Information for walkers and cyclists. please get in touch for current information.

Question

Packed Lunches?

​

Answer

Not at present. The Co-op at Grosmont level crossing (for North Yorkshire Moors Railway which is right on C-C route) has a great selection of sandwiches, snacks and drinks, and Coast-to-Coasters reach this before lunch.

 

Question

Laundry Facilities?

​

Answer

In the B&B we have a drying room (our boiler room) where you can hang wet clothes and put wet boots. We no longer do laundry for you. Each of our self-catering cottages has its own washer/dryer and an entryway for boots and jackets. 

 

Question

Luggage carried to rooms?

​

Answer

Sorry, but we do not offer a porter service. We are too old!

 

Question

Dogs allowed?

​

Answer

Sorry, dogs not allowed in the house or the Hayloft. One dog of selected breeds is allowed in each of the two family-sized cottages, the Old Sheaf Store and the Threshing Barn, but these are generally let for 7 nights minimum during April through October, and Christmas and New Year weeks. However, we do have a newly cleaned and strawed stable dedicated for guests' dogs that are accustomed to staying outside.

 

Question

Pick-up service for Coast-to-Coast walkers?

​

Answer

Sorry, but as we are close enough to the walk (about 1/4 mile from War Memorial), we do not offer a pick-up service.

​

Question

Do you transfer luggage for walkers?

​

Answer

Sorry, no, but Brigantes and Sherpa Van do transfers along the Cleveland Way as well as the Coast-to-Coast Walk and Pack Horse along the Coast-to-Coast Walk. All three agencies are accustomed to delivering luggage to Red House Farm Glaisdale.
