“A very well equipped and comfortable cottage in a lovely village.”

Parking is the only issue especially for a large car and although it is possible to get in the space it is easier to park on the road. No issue for a smaller car however. Cherry cottage is perfect for exploring the area and we would definitely return for a longer stay.

Stayed here a few times now and this last was visit just wasn’t the same The cottage didn’t seem as clean and fresh as previous time There was no welcome pack as before We couldn’t get the heating to work properly only had the hot water The beds were not as comfortable as previously Such a shame as we really like the place

“Great cottage everything you could wish for .”

Parking however was disappointing due to the proximity of the cottages opposite . Could do with drive widening to solve the problem.

“Great little cottage, perfect for what we needed.”

Our only slight negative was the bed, but that’s more down to personal preference than anything. Would absolutely recommend!

Cottage was lovely and set in a great location in a quiet village with a pub just a short walk away serving a good selection of ale and great food with friendly staff The facilities in the cottage were excellent with free view and WiFi and all the amenities required The only bug bear was the back garden grass area which was very overgrown otherwise it would have been lovely to sit outside and relax with great views but unfortunately spoilt by the overgrown grass

- Christopher, June 2024

Thank you for letting us know about the issue with the lawn, ive been in touch with the managment company to rectify the issue. Property Owner

Would highly recommend.

“We had a lovely stay at Cherry cottage overall, it was tidy - it could have been a little cleaner though.”

Lots of dust and dirt around the bathroom floor around the toilet area. And generally floors upstairs had hair and dust. The cottage is perfectly situated. Gorgeous views and the quality of the fittings and fixtures was very high. Nice furnishings and quality bedding. We were very cold when we arrived though as the underfloor heating or water wasn’t switched on, it took a few hours to get up to temperature. It might have been nice to have offered a few starter logs for the wood burner. The grass hadn’t been cut either, it was quite long making it difficult to find dog-mess - we literally had to follow our dog around as he was toileting, otherwise we were in danger of never finding it! The long grass also meant that every time he went outside he’d get wet. We tried to find a key for the shed to see if there was a mower in there but no luck - we’d have happily cut it ourselves if we could find one. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would return.

2nd visit now and it’s still a fantastic place It’s spotless and clean every thing inside the cottage is to a high standard The location is superb we use it as a base to explore the area The forge pub is excellent for food and drinks and the staff are friendly and help full We will definitely be coming back again in the future

Claire May 2024

“Loved the cottage, but the parking was awful to get our large car in and out.”

No ice cube tray, and a welcome basket would be a good idea. The cottage was lovely and a great back garden for our dog. Ideal location for using the bus. The Forge was lovely for a meal. We would return if they made the parking area bigger.

We had a really wonderful time in the cottage and it is spotless. We would definitely stay again.

Sean March 2024

“The holiday cottage was lovely as was the garden.”

Beautiful views out the back, would have been lovely in the summer to sit out as it is so peaceful and ideal for our child and the dogs. Thank you again for letting us bring both of our girls as they are part of our family too! It was lovely and clean on our arrival, we hope that we left it as clean as when we arrived. The only downside is the two chairs in the living room. They have a tendency to tip up unawares as our son found out and the floor is quite unforgiving!! Apart from that it is a beautiful 10 out of 10 cottage, we can't thank you enough

- Sean, March 2024
Christopher February 2024

“Love this cottage, great location, nice and modern practical with walled garden stone floors , underfloor heating perfect, but.”

... the downstairs bathroom should be in the description as them trips to the loo during the night are a pain and could be problematic for elderly. Also half a toilet roll, no fuel or fire lighters for log burner, and un lockable inner porch door, just needs a bolt on it. These small things that would make it perfect, it was our 2nd time there and would go again ,because we can deal with the downstairs bathroom because all the plusses out weigh the few negatives

- Christopher, February 2024
Marion November 2023

“Beautiful cottage, spotless clean, very well equipped kitchen.”

I wasn't a fan of the swivel chairs in the lounge! The worst thing about the cottage is the parking space at the front, its so tight to get in and out of, some people would really struggle.

- Marion, November 2023
Sharon September 2023

“Cherry cottage was gorgeous, beautiful enclosed garden overlooking fields for our dog.”

Parking was very tight in the front, but manageable if you’re a good driver. The bathroom is downstairs so people should be aware of this if you have to get up in the night. The pub oppersite was great, very friendly staff and wonderful food, especially the Sunday roast. Would definitely recommend, just be aware of the above items.

- Sharon, September 2023
Diana August 2023

“The cottage is very well maintained and has high quality decor and furniture also very clean.”

The location is in a nice quite village but handy for Whitby town centre as it is only 3-4 miles away. The only drawbacks were the downstairs toilet, as my husband found this difficult when he had to get up during the night (not great for people of age and disability). We found that the bed was very firm and lastly there was a tight, awkward space to park outside the cottage, although the landlady at the pub next door kindly offered a parking space there if we wanted it.

- Diana, August 2023
Joanne August 2023

“Lovely comfortable holiday home.”

Good quality decor and furnishings. Convenient parking space right in front and wonderful enclosed outdoor space which our dog loved to run around in. The previous residents had not picked up after their dog however so there was quite a lot of poo for us to clean up. The property was clean but very dusty - could have benefited from a flick round with a duster from the cleaner before we arrived. We had a fantastic holiday and I would thoroughly recommend the property. It is also in a great location. Aislaby is pretty and quiet and only a short distance away from all the amazing coastal and moorland towns and villages nearby - perfect for exploring. The Forge pub a couple of doors down is friendly and welcoming and does great food at reasonable prices. Thank you so much for a brilliant stay.

- Joanne, August 2023
Natasha July 2023

“The heating and hot water was overly complicated for a holiday let to work out.”

The feather and down duvet was personally terrible for an allergy sufferer. Also a heavy weight for the summer was hot. Otherwise a really well equipped and presented cottage

Denise Allison July 2023

The food at the pub 'The Forge' was excelllent.

I really liked the cottage it was clean and had everything that you could need,was also in a great location The only negative was my wife and I both found the bath difficult to get in and out and both of us are quite fit It might be an idea to have some sort of rail I would definitely stay here again

- Michael, May 2023
Jo May 2023

“What a fantastic cottage.”

We enjoyed a lovely break with our fur baby. Everything we needed in the kitchen was supplied - even though we didn’t cook much. The garden was great especially with the bbq area. All rooms were very clean and comfy. The weather was too good to need to use the log burner but I’m sure it’s great in colder months. Location was ideal to explore local area. Will definitely book again! 10/10

- Jo, May 2023
Paul March 2023

“Lovely cottage everything we needed and in superb condition.”

Lovely views amd safe enclosed garden for dog. Only thing was hard to find initially and parking bit difficult but we managed it fine. Would stay again definately, very cosy and comfortable

Julie December 2022

“A fabulous cottage with everything you could ever need.”

It was enjoyable relaxing by the fire after long walks and a trip to Sandsend. Enjoyed the Forge pub for meals, good food and friendly staff.

- Julie, December 2022
Jonathan December 2022

“Great location.”

Friendly locals and pub:-) Wish we stayed linger than 3 days as so much to do there.

- Jonathan, December 2022
Nicola October 2022

“The cottage is lovely and the location is perfect, lots of lovely walks and close to Whitby.”

We had a lovely stay and would consider returning in the future. The only real downside is the driveway isn’t adequately described in the listing. The driveway itself is ample size for the majority of cars however the lane accessing the driveway isn’t and takes some manoeuvrings, we managed to get our car on the drive (average sized family car) eventually. Afterwards we decided to park on the roadway where there is ample parking. We’ve marked our review down purely because of the parking which is probably a fault of Sykes rather than the owners.

- Nicola, October 2022
John August 2022

“We loved our week in this cottage, everything you needed was provided and the lovely garden was perfect.”

It's only 5 minutes out of Whitby but has a pub next door with great food. I could not recommend it enough to others especially with dogs as the garden is so large and secure.

- John, August 2022
Beverly July 2022

“Still awaiting a reply from a written complaint regarding the description of the cottage we stayed in which was beautifully appointed and a credit to the owners, however sadly was not suitable for a family of four with a dog - bathroom situated downstairs to the rear of property (not mentioned) assumption it was on the first floor not good for elderly people and young children through the night.”

No room downstairs to sit comfortably around the table to eat - as my 12 year old grandchild said - she felt very cramped all week. The parking at the front is only suitable for a very small car - even then it would take great driving skills to manoeuvre into the space. Felt strongly that Sykes Cottages had misled us - no fault of the owners to whom we thank for the cleanliness and beautifully appointed facilities.

- Beverly, July 2022

Louise March 2022

“We thoroughly enjoyed Cherry cottage,warm,clean,very nicely decorated with extra touches.”

Cooking was easy as everything you would need was thought of.A generous garden with countryside views and nice outdoor furniture.The Village and local pub (20) steps away but very quiet was a bonus.Great to have parking but rather tight to manoeuvre our medium sized car but you could easily park on the road,this definitely wouldn't deter us from staying again ,Thank You for sharing such a lovely property ....

- Louise, March 2022
Lynne November 2021

“The cottage was outstanding.”

Decorated throughout to a very high standard. So comfy and cosy. Back garden was perfect for our dog Ziggy. We really didn't want to leave. We would definately love to go back next year sometime. Excellent.

- Lynne, November 2021
Tim October 2021

“What a very beautiful, comfy, cozy cottage.”

Everything was provided, it was a definate home from home experience. Thank you to the person that gets the property ready for the guests because it was beautifully clean. It was fabulous for the dog, it had a great enclosed garden, a small utility for them to dry off and stone floors throughout, perfect for your peace of mind with your four legged friend. Beds were extremely comfy and we slept better than at home. All in all a fantastic stay and we would highly recommend and would definately stay again. Thank you.

Ian July 2021

“We had a great time in this beautifully presented accommodation that is situated in a great location to visit many of North Yorkshire’s best beaches.”

Stunning views from the village’s walks and the accommodation itself was of a high standard with all you would need for a British break. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

- Ian, July 2021

Katherine June 2021

“We had such a lovely break at Cherry Cottage with our baby and dog.”

The cottage is well equipped and clean. We loved the decor. The location is perfect for exploring the coast and Yorkshire Moors. Only downside was that the lawn hadn’t been mowed which meant lots of bees were on the ground, not ideal if you have a dog or a baby!

- Katherine, June 2021
Wendy June 2021

“Everything we required was provided.”

Lovely cottage, great garden for the dogs, friendly locals and great meal at the pub.

- Wendy, June 2021
David May 2021

“A stunning little cottage in a stunning location.”

With regards to some comments about the small driveway; I was able to reverse my Ford Kuga into it but if you're not a confident driver there is ample, safe on-road parking. I would recommend catching the local hourly bus, Park and Ride (both approximately £5 family return) or local taxi (£8.50) into Whitby as the town itself can get incredibly visit. The views from the back garden are wonderful with the sheep grazing in the adjacent field. You can access the delightful local pub, The Forge, via a small alley to the left of the driveway. The cottage itself, although small, was ideal for a family of 4. It was incredibly clean and all of the amenities we required were there. There was nothing negative about our stay and I thoroughly recommend Cherry Cottage.

- David, May 2021
Karen May 2021

“Lovely cottage everything we needed.”

Only downside is that we couldn’t get our car into the parking area only suitable for a small medium car, beautiful back garden with lovely views.

Fabulous cottage and location to explore the North Yorkshire’s coast Parking is very awkward anyone with a medium to large car would not be able to park in the allocated car parking space outside to property Would definitely return for a short break The forge pub ( only facility in the village ) was closed our entire stay

Carol July 2020

“Lovely relaxing break in wonderful surroundings.”

Beautiful cottage, spotlessly clean and the private back garden was a huge bonus. Allowed us to sit out with our dog, drink coffee and chill. Everything about the cottage was gorgeous

- Carol, July 2020
Brian December 2019

“Had an excellent Xmas break, really appreciated the decorations and tree as well as the fresh flowers and chocolates.”

The cottage was immaculate with high quality fittings, loved the underfloor heating. The local pub provides great food and friendly staff, we had some great local walks and Whitby was only a ten minute drive. Overall i would highly recommend this property.

Garry September 2019

“As the lounge and kitchen are combined it would benefit the room to have an extractor fan.”

Kitchen smells lingered for some time and clothes smelled after cooking. I believe an extractor would reduce this happening and improve the overall experience.

- Garry, September 2019
Judy September 2019

“We found the cottage was very nice indeed well appointed and pots and cutlery first class.”

Ideal area for sightseeing. The main bedroom under the bed required cleaning and the reverse of the cushions on settee in lounge were dirty, with dog hairs etc. We have a small dog so used some netting we acquired to make hedge secure as there were animals in the field. The only real downside for any elderly couple was the fact that the toilet was on the groundfloor with a steep staircase to negotiate if required during nightime. We actually left of the 26th and arrived home safely. Yours Judy and Jim Murray.
