“We found the property extremely clean and very well equipped for a self catering holiday.”

Thought the slow cooker was a great addition, to be able to come home from a day out to a meal, ideal. We found the garden totally secure for our dogs, although for larger dogs (or jumpers) gate was a little low. Possibly an addition of a bolt on inside of the gate would be beneficial too. We also liked the idea of all low sockets had safety covers in them, great if small children around. All in all a very warm and comfortable property, would definitely return. Hats off to the owners who ...

“Not totally dog safe needs a second opinion”

- Maurice And Sheila, September 2024

I have asked for more information as this is the first time a guest has mentioned anything about not being completely dog safe. We welcome any constructive feedback as we are always looking for ways to improve our guests experience. Property Owner
Paul August 2024

“We stayed for 1 week the cottage was as described really spacious for 6 people and 2 dogs.”

Had every possible thing you could ask for to ensure you had a great stress free stay.Brilliantly placed to get to all the coastal towns and villages.A lovely place for the dogs great walks nearby .A great bus service runs through the village bus passes accepted if you didn`t want to drive and a Sainsburys Aldi,Iceland all nearby. Would highly recommend

- Paul, August 2024

“Lovely holiday home well equipped,clean and fresh.”

Bridget was always very quick to reply to emails. Great location.

- Lucy, August 2024
Joanne July 2024

“Lovely property plenty of space good cleaning product could not find the outside tap handle would have liked to clean the artificial grass.”

Pub does great meals and very close we were blessed with good weather. The village is well kept could do with more bins I would raise that with the council.

- Joanne, July 2024

We are glad you enjoyed your holiday. Apologies about the tap, some guests broke it but hadn't let us know. We discovered it just before you arrived and did try to replace the handle but it wasn't that simple and the whole tap needs to be replaced. We didn't want to do this just before your arrival in case anything went wrong (these things usually do when you least need them to) and we would have to inconvenience you so it's being replaced in a couple of weeks when we have a couple of days empty in the cottage. We really appreciate your feedback. Property Owner

“We enjoyed our week at Avon Croft Cottage, it was lovely and clean with excellent facilities.”

It is well placed to explore the surrounding area.

Dot May 2024

“Great cottage , second visit .”

Would be back again

Torq May 2024

“A proper home from home.”

Comfortable and well equipped. We would absolutely recommend the cottage100%. Bridget is a delight to deal with. Will keep many happy memories of our stay here.

- Torq, May 2024
Janice May 2024

“Fabulous stay at this well equipped cottage.”

Use of the garage was an unexpected bonus as it provided safe storage for our bikes and bike rack. Lovely pub across the road for food and drinks. Excellent bus service to Whitby to avoid the hassle of car parking. Easy access to cinder track to Robin Hoods Bay and Whitby.

- Janice, May 2024
Joanne April 2024

“Great house, very clean and comfortable.”

unfortunately we stayed, and the weather was cold, and the house heating could not keep us warm, it ran constantly, but did not heat the house well enough to remove the chill, we left early

- Joanne, April 2024

I'm really sorry to hear that. We will have the heating checked out as we have never heard about the heating not being enough from previous guests nor experienced this ourselves when we have stayed so there must be something wrong. If you had called us as we would have called the heating engineer out immediately. Also, we do keep some electric heaters in the garage and you could have used the gas fire in the lounge. If you find something wrong with a cottage you are staying in it's always worth calling the owners as the majority of times it will be something they are unaware of and would welcome being informed so they can correct it.

“Great cottage for a family holiday near Whitby.”

Quiet location and a lovely pub close by. 10 mins drive into Whitby centre.

Robert November 2023

“Absolutely lovely cottage, fantastic value for money.”

Exceeded all of our expectations. Fantastic location, literally a 20 second walk from a lovely pub/restaurant. 5 minute drive to Whitby.

- Robert, November 2023
Stuart November 2023

“This cottage is excellent value for money, compared to others of this size and quality.”

We really enjoyed our stay, Avon Croft was spotlessly clean and lovely and warm on arrival. It had everything we needed, including a couple of dog bowls which were really appreciated as we had forgotten to pack ours! The kingsize bed was really comfortable, as was the living room furniture. The kitchen had everything you could wish for and more, and it was great to have access to Sky TV and other apps, as well as the firestick in the main bedroom for when the weather wasn't great. We did the cinder path walks to Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay, two of my favourite places. In fact we enjoyed it so much we have already booked for next year. Thank you for allowing us and our two dogs to stay in this wonderful cottage. Katherine

- Stuart, November 2023
Robert October 2023

“Lovely cottage, great location and very comfortable.”

All the appliances you’ll need and a very nice owner. We had an issue with the door lock and it was fixed within 2 hours. The only disappointment was the cleanliness. All x3 Sofas were absolutely covered in white dog hairs and it took us 45 minutes with a vacuum cleaner to get them off. On removing the seat cushions we were horrified to see how dirty it was underneath. I don’t blame the owner for this but mainly the filthy people who were in the cottage before us (clearly a small dog was allowed to climb all over the furniture) with little respect for other people’s property. I appreciate this is a dog friendly cottage but we cleaned up any mess caused by our Labrador and he certainly isn’t allowed on furniture. The rest of the blame goes to the cleaning services provider, whose standards of cleanliness is very different to ours. Apart from that, it’s a beautiful place to stay and I’d definitely recommend it.

- Robert, October 2023
Catherine September 2023

“A lovely stay in a very welcoming house which had everything we needed including a slow cooker and two coffee machines!”

Brian August 2023

“Our Family had a brilliant stay at Avon Croft (6 Adults, 1 baby 6 month old and 2 dogs).”

The first thing that we noticed walking through the door is how clean and well decorated it was. It was well maintained and the rooms were well equipped and comfortable. We were a little worried when we booked that it was on a busy road and that would be noisy. I can say that wasn't a problem and you would hardly notice the road. I would only give one piece of advice and that is if you are bringing a baby and going to use the fold up cot supplied. It is very difficult to lock in the right position. We initially thought it was broken but no it's just very tight to lock in the usable position. Also if you have a small baby a crib blanket is not big enough to cover the larger cot mattress. These are just things worth knowing if you are bring a baby. Personally I can't fault either the cottage or the owners communication. We had a great Holiday so Thank you to all.

- Brian, August 2023
Malcolm August 2023

“We really enjoyed our family get together in this wonderful cottage.”

It is ideally placed for both Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay. We walked to both places via the " Cinder Track" and was easy walking. It was nice to escape the hustle and bustle of both places back to the quiet village of Hawsker. There was 6 in our party and there was plenty of room to relax in the cottage. Malcolm and Judy

- Malcolm, August 2023
Pauline July 2023

“The home was warm and comfortable, a real home from home.”

Everything we could want or need had been provided. Thank you so much for a memorable holiday.

- Pauline, July 2023
Suzanne May 2023

“We had a wonderful time in the cottage, it had everything we needed & was clean & comfortable.”

Near to the coast & very close to the Cinder Track where we had some fabulous walks with our dog. The local pub, Hare & Hounds, served wonderful food & the staff are really lovely. With a bonus of lovely warm sunny weather, we hit the jackpot & would happily stay there again.

- Suzanne, May 2023
Dot May 2023

“Lovely cottage , I can’t say how perfect it was .”

I definitely will back to stay there

- Dot, May 2023
Peter March 2023

“Beautiful cottage, spotlessly clean,very warm and very well equipped.”

We loved it!

- Peter, March 2023
Michael March 2023

“Avon Croft Cottage is an ideal base for exploring the North Yorkshire moors and surrounding area.”

Very well appointed property, in a relatively quiet location, but within walking distance of Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay. Will definitely be returning for another stay.

- Michael, March 2023
Sharon March 2023

“Lovely spacious property, beautifully clean and well equipped.”

Location perfect for our walking and Hare & Hounds highly recommended for eating out. Little suggestions re maintenance, the radiator needs bleeding in largest bedroom, only gets lukewarm with heating on high. Couple of light bulbs need replacing. A lidded waste bin would be preferable in the kitchen, especially for guests with toddlers or dogs! The extractor fan in the kitchen does bang a lot with the wind. Otherwise, our stay was very pleasurable, communication with owner was friendly and helpful and we are re-booking for next year.

- Sharon, March 2023
Lorraine February 2023

“We had a great stay at Avon Croft, it’s in a great location for the cinder trail.”

House contained everything we needed for our stay and would recommend to anyone who enjoys a walking holiday.

- Lorraine, February 2023
Graham February 2023

“Lovely cottage, well equipt, very comfortable and warm.”

Ideally located for visiting many of the wonderful areas on the North Yorkshire Coasts and moors.

- Graham, February 2023
Catherine December 2022

“Lovely cottage.”

Very spacious and well equipped. Great location for visiting all around the Whitby area. Secure small garden which was ideal for the dogs at night. Really enjoyed our stay thank you.

- Catherine, December 2022
Louise November 2022

“Our second stay at Avon Croft Cottage.”

Fantastic location, Hare & Hounds pub in the village serves wonderful food. Easy to get to everywhere from the cottage whether it be on foot, car or bus. Ample parking for two cars. Everything you need in the house. Must apologise as we loaded the dishwasher but forgot to put it on before we left. I would recommend anyone to stay here, lovely and warm in the winter and lots of space. I would recommend getting the path cleaned as it is quite slippy in the damp weather but that was our only recommendation not complaint.

- Louise, November 2022

Thank you for such lovely feedback, we'll get the path cleaned straight away. We always welcome feedback so we can make sure everyone has a lovely stay. Property Owner
Amanda October 2022

“We thoroughly enjoyed our time here.”

The cottage was immaculate and had everything available that you could possibly think of. I was glad that we took throws with us to cover the lovely furniture. Our dogs didn’t attempt to sit on the sofas but you can never be sure of what animals might try out of their own home! The garden was fantastic for the dogs first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Our bed was beautifully comfortable and we found that the bathroom shower was more powerful than the one in the en-suite. The village was quiet with lovely walks. We found a gem for eating. A short way up the hill in the village is a small, immaculate, quiet caravan park. There you will find the Coast Cafe bar. The owners used to run a restaurant and you can tell. The food is simply amazing - the best we had anywhere. With Whitby a spit away and such a friendly, accommodating owner of Avon Croft Cottage, this is surely a 10/10 stay for anyone.

- Amanda, October 2022
Susan September 2022

“I rented the cottage for our family to celebrate my husband completing the coast to coast walk to Robin Hoods Bay.”

The cottage was in a perfect location for us and the facilities and cleanliness was excellent - would recommend

- Susan, September 2022
Elizabeth August 2022

“We had a fabulous week at Avon Croft cottage.”

Meticulously cleaned prior to our arrival it is a comfortable space (we were 4 adults, 2 children and a dog). So many interesting places to visit nearby we packed a lot in during the week.

- Elizabeth, August 2022
Karen August 2022

“The property was lovely very clean and had everything we needed for our stay and was central to North Yorkshire”

- Karen, August 2022
Joanne July 2022

“We thoroughly enjoyed staying in your house, the only criticism we would have is with the second bedroom - my in-laws stayed in this room and banged their heads on numerous occasions on the sloping walls next to the window, so much so that my mother-in-law had an egg on her head, which left a nasty bruise!”

She is ok, but it may be worth putting a sign up to warn people to be careful.

- Joanne, July 2022
Catherine June 2022

“A wonderful house, in a really lovely village handy to visit all of the beaches and resorts around.”

Must recommend the local pub The Hare and Hounds across the road, amazing fish and chips. Will certainly return.

- Catherine, June 2022
Debbie May 2022

“Never stayed in a holiday property so well equipped as Avon Croft Cottage, the owners go above & beyond to make their guests stay good.”

- Debbie, May 2022
Yvonne May 2022

“Very clean and well presented property.”

Master bedroom with en-suite very large and spacious. Kitchen very well equipped with everything needed to prepare a meal. Extra items like tea,coffee,sugar,milk & biscuits were greatly appreciated. Living room had TV with Sky etc, DVD player and plenty of board games for rainy day entertainment but luckily the sun did shine for us. Would definitely recommend to friends and relatives.

- Yvonne, May 2022
Amanda April 2022

“Avon Croft cottage is absolutely perfect, the facilities were much more than adequate.”

I will definitely be looking to book the property again.

- Amanda, April 2022
Graham February 2022

“Lovely cottage ideally placed for visiting some of the North Yorkshire coasts beauty spots.”

- Graham, February 2022
Paul January 2022

“The cottage was very homely, spotlessly clean and well equipped.”

The location is perfect being only a short distance from Whitby and Robin hoods bay

- Paul, January 2022
Louise November 2021

“What a wonderful place, spotlessly clean, everything that you could need.”

Brilliant location for walks, bus stop in the village where the costal bus runs. We ordered a taxi to go into whitby which wasn't expensive. We ate twice in the local pub in the village which was beautiful. Would definitely recommend and will be booking again!

- Louise, November 2021
Glenys October 2021

“Had a very comfortable stay in Avon Croft Cottage only drawback busy road outside although if using public transport bus service brilliant.”

- Glenys, October 2021
Stephen September 2021

“Great location for walks along the coast, with a lovely pub a couple of minutes away.”

Lovely to have a choice of duvet for the time of year. Makes a big positive difference. Cottage was exactly as described, so no surprises.

- Stephen, September 2021
Kevin September 2021

“The house was very clean, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay, it was well placed to visit lots of interesting thing also places, and fantastic scenery, we also found plenty of local places to eat.”

- Kevin, September 2021
Andy August 2021

“Good location and lovely accommodation.”

Easy access to Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay and the Yorkshire coast and moors. Good pubs nearby in walking distance.

- Andy, August 2021
Emma August 2021

“Absolutely lovely stay, comfortable, and has everything you need within the cottage.”

The cottage had been cleaned to a high standard. Pub just across the road serves amazing food. There is no little convenience store, or bakery, which would have been nice, but just a 10 min drive you will find Sainsbury’s, food warehouse etc, where you can stock up. When we entered the cottage, I was taken back, as in reality it looked so much better, than the photos, fresh grey and white throughout, and cozy lounge. We would defiantly return again, the property quaint, even though on a main road, it really didn’t bother us, not that busy really, and that’s in August. Lovely stay.

- Emma, August 2021
Philip July 2021

“Excellent Cottage located in the small Village of Hawsker roughly equidistant between Robin Hoods Bay & Whitby.”

The Cinder Trail, a Cycle/Walking path is just round the Corner & the Cleveland Way, a Coastal Path is approximately 1 mile away. Very frequent Bus Service from Scarborough to Whitby via Robin Hoods Bay passes the Door. Good Pub, Hare & Hounds, across the Road with Danby League Quoits on Monday Nights. Really enjoyed our stay there (the Weather helped) & will certainly go again!

- Philip, July 2021

Very helpful owner responding very quickly to questions asked

- Janice, June 2021
Jill May 2021

“The cottage was very inviting and little touches like cookies,coffee, milk and even a box of luxury toiletries were left for us.”

The cottage is spotless and the pictures don't really do it justice.Very close to cinder track for walks from house and great location to explore the area.

- Jill, May 2021
Barry May 2021

“A fantastic cottage with everything you could possibly need ,the cottage was beautiful and immaculate, 1min walk to bus stops to Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay and also to Hare and Hounds pub which can be recommended for meals.”

The cottage is perfect for walks along cinder path to both Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay or even the more challenging Cleveland way ,Lastly a big thank you to Andy and Bridget for the bottle of bubbly and chocolate cake they left for us for our Diamond Wedding Anniversary,We hope to return in the future

- Barry, May 2021
John October 2020

“During these difficult times it was a very needed treat to escape to North ...”

During these difficult times it was a very needed treat to escape to North Yorkshire and Bridget exceeded all expectations to ensure a fantastic staycation

- John, October 2020
Ruth October 2020

“This cosy warm cottage was ideally situated, just off the Cinder Track and less than a mile to the Cleveland way along the cliffs - we had a lovely 5 mile walk into Whitby along the cliffs, definitely the way to approach for the first time!”

The 3 miles into Robin Hoods Bay along the cinder track was easy to cycle with gentle gradients possible even for 5 year-old legs. If your children decide they don't fancy the walk back, there is a bus stopping 100 yds from the house going to Whitby one way and Robin Hoods Bay the other. We didn't get to sample the food at the Hare and Hounds as we left it too late to book - be warned! But the house was super comfy and well appointed with fast wifi, DVDs and TV, as well as jigsaws and games for rainy days. We would definitely book again and the communication was excellent.

- Ruth, October 2020
Kay October 2020

“Location of the property was perfect for dog walking, being only minutes from the Cinder Track which takes you into Whitby one way or Robins Hood Bay the other way.”

The property was very well appointed and comfortable.

- Kay, October 2020
Peter September 2020

“Only problem was the noise from the heavy traffic but that is a problem that the owners can’t do anything about and we understand that.”

Overall very impressed a lovely holiday.

- Peter, September 2020
Patricia August 2020

“Everything was really good except there wasn't anywhere round the area that was wheelchair friendly.”

Not that it was your fault didn't realise how steep everywhere was. The property was great and easy access to various places.

- Patricia, August 2020
Gilbert August 2020

“A first class "Cottage" well designed and filled with useful facilities.”

The only draw back was the location alongside a busy road with a bus route causing early awakening. A bit of soundproofing could be added to the bedrooms windows.

- Gilbert, August 2020
Stewart August 2020

“Beautifully clean for a pet friendly house.”

Great location with lots of lovely walks, a pub serving good food and easy access to NYM's (if its foggy on the coast its usually clear by Thornton Dale) The reason for downgrading to:-) was, the beds which as is often the case they were very firm, and the fridge was a bit on the small side. The outside space was limited but very usable in the appropriate weather. Plenty of games, books, DVD's and kitchen equipment.

- Stewart, August 2020
Jon March 2020

“A great location for walking very close to the cyinder path to walk either Robin hoods bay or whitby , lovely comfy spacious cottage , would stay again, .”

- Jon, March 2020
Laura December 2019

“Lovely location with some nice walks surrounding it and a lovely little pub,which was dog friendly in the bar area.”

The picture of the cottage was a bit deceiving as the garden area looked bigger in the photo but was quite small in reality. The cottage was comfy, spacious and homely with everything you would need, only criticism would be that the windows locks in the kitchen and middle bedroom need replacing. Overall highly recommended and would return in the future.

- Laura, December 2019
Walter November 2019

“This cottage is spotlessley clean warm and cosy,with heating you can adjust to your likeing, plenty of hot water, gas fire in the lounge the beds are very cumfy, this is the cottage to rent in the winter months the temperature in Whitby last week was a very cold 2s3s4shighest 8 well stocked kitchen if you want to cook, good fridge and freezer, micro wave.”

a perfect cottage for 4 people, and not forgetting our best pal Charlie the dog enjoyed it as well.

- Walter, November 2019
Kevin October 2019

“Very good location; cottage more than met all our expectations.”

Very clean, modern property that was perfect for a family holiday, especially with dogs. We will certainly return.

- Kevin, October 2019
Paul October 2019

“Avon Croft was a lovely house.”

Equipped to a very high standard. It was easily the best equipped - and most dog friendly - cottage I have stayed in.

- Paul, October 2019
Sarah August 2019

“Great location for coastal visits, made better by being able to bring our 2 dogs with us.”

House had everything we needed and was very comfortable for 5 adults and 2 dogs, lots of information left for guests and a great pub down the road which served delicious food.

- Sarah, August 2019
Dean July 2019

“The house was brilliant, and in a great location for our holiday.”

Ideal for Whitby and Scarborough. There are lots of great walks for the dogs and ourselves , and the pub across the road serves great food. We would definitely come back.

- Dean, July 2019
Brian July 2019

“Spotless accommodation, ideally placed.”

- Brian, July 2019
Jane July 2019

“The cottage was immaculate, well equipped, comfortable and in a great location.”

Parking is a bonus when booking holiday accommodation in and around Whitby. Walking the dog at Robin Hoods Bay was just lovely. The pubs/restaurants are nearly all dog friendly. The owners left us tea, coffee and biscuits. Thank you.

- Jane, July 2019
Karen July 2019

“Lovely clean modern well equipped cottage in a,good location.”

I think it may be worth making people aware that the property is adjacent to a busy road and there is a dog in a kennel at the rear where the dog appears distressed and barks and cries most of the time.

- Karen, July 2019
Julia June 2019

“The house was lovely and warm, the heating was on before we arrived, this was much appreciated as we stayed in terrible weather with almost continuous rain.”

The house was very clean, excellent job by the cleaner. Our dog escaped from the enclosed garden by scrambling up the dry stone wall, most of the wall has a fence on top but there is a small section without a fence on top. We would have found it handy if there had been a cloth in the bathroom and a cloth in the kitchen to wipe up water on the floors. There appeared to be dvds but no dvd player. Wifi and internet was good. Kitchen well equipped. Were woken at 6.45 one morning by the neighbours dogs barking, but they did not bark all the time.

- Julia, June 2019

Thank you for your feedback, I'm sorry to here your dog was able to climb the wall to escape, we will look to improve this in future. The cloth is a helpful tip thank you. Regarding the DvD player this is built into the side of the TV. Thank you for you comments and we hope to see you again in the future. Property Owner
Tracy April 2019

“The cottage was fabulous.”

...perfect for 6 adults, very comfortable and with everything we needed. Very bright and clean .....we loved it!

- Tracy, April 2019
Mike April 2019

“We had a great break in North Yorkshire.”

The cottage was perfect and suited us down to the ground. It was lovely and warm, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The location was also perfect being in walking distance from both Whitby and Robin Hood's bay either via the cinder track or the coast path. Highly recommended.

- Mike, April 2019
Martin March 2019

“One of the best cottages we have stayed in!”

Very comfortable beds and sofas, nice small garden. Walks along the cinder path both ways, flat and very pleasant. Takes about an hour to walk to Whitby and also an hour to Robin Hood’s Bay. Both Whitby and Robin Hood’s Bay are very dog friendly. Would highly recommend this cottage.

- Martin, March 2019
Pamela March 2019

“It was just my husband and I in this fantastic 3 bedroom property.”

We often stay in holiday cottages but this was our first time with 'Sykes'. Avoncroft was in an area we have often stayed in but prior to this in a Motorhome. In our later years we want more comfort and certainly found it this holiday. When we arrived the house was lovely and warm as the heating had been put on. In the kitchen we found plenty of chocolate biscuits, tea, sugar, coffee and a pint of milk. The icing on the cake was a tv in the Masterbedroom, and, despite it being mid March, perfect weather - sunshine practically every day - God Willing - we will return........

- Pamela, March 2019
Lynda January 2019

“We have stayed at Avoncroft on several occasions, we have always found it well equipped and spotlessly clean.”

The beds are really comfortable. There are walks from the door. Dogs are welcome. Have already booked again for May and hoping to return again in November.

“Best equipped property we have stayed in.”

- Susan, December 2018
Kate October 2018

“Fantastic place to stay, excellent and like a home from home.”

The location was brilliant within easy reach of lots of works with the dogs, particularly good days in Whitby and Rood Hoods Bay, thanks for a great couple of days away

- Kate, October 2018
Deborah August 2018

“This is a great place to stay and walking distance to both Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay using the old cinder track.”

Not sure this was mentioned in the original details but great for dog walking. Accommodation was extremely clean and very comfortable

- Deborah, August 2018
Rosemary August 2018

“House was well situated, well stocked, clean and perfect for the whole family and small dog.”

Would highly recommend.

- Rosemary, August 2018
Stuart May 2018

“A beautiful, very well equipped, clean and comfortable cottage in a brilliant location.”

We can really recommend this for a holiday.

- Stuart, May 2018
P March 2018

“A real home from home.”

Masses of room for all of us; 4 adults and 2 dogs. Everything you could need if you want to cook there, but great food less then 100 metres away at Hare and Hounds. Great place for setting out for walks to Whitby or Robin Hoods Bay, although cinder track very muddy for us after snow and rain. Would certainly return to Avoncroft.

- P, March 2018
Raymond February 2018

“Ideally located close to Whitby and also bus service to Scarborough virtually outside the door if you fancied leaving the car at home,cottage was superb.”

As was the local pub and restaurant opposite.cannot find any negatives to say overall it was excellent

- Raymond, February 2018
Kate February 2018

“This cottage was immaculate throughout.”

It was my husbands birthday and the owner very kindly left a huge celebration cake and candles, what a lovely thought. The cottage was easy to use and very well stocked with utensils, crockery and cookery items. I don't think the pictures do it justice. It was wonderfully warm and cosy in the cottage. Location was great, it was easy to walk to Robin Hood's Bay and Whitby, along a well maintained cinder track which is only a couple of minutes walk from the cottage. The pub over the road was very friendly but clearly a very popular as an eatery as well, booking is definitely advised, would recommend The Windmill in Stainsacre, really accommodating. We had a great time, only sorry we couldn't have stayed longer. Thank you Bridget and Andy.

- Kate, February 2018
Michael September 2017

“Great location,very comfortable cottage and spotless on our arrival.”

Good pub across the road. Situated on busy road,dogs barking in some sort of kennel in neighbours back garden.

- Michael, September 2017
Martyn September 2017

“The cottage was central for getting to places and a bus service that ran by the front door was an added bonus, as was the pub 100 yds away that sold good food and beer.”

- Martyn, September 2017
Glyn August 2017

“The cottage is ideally situated for Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay and Scarborough”

- Glyn, August 2017
Julia March 2017

“We had a very nice week, the cottage was lovely, comfortable and had everything that we needed.”

It is set in a very nice village and had a very good pub as well. There are plenty of walks around the area, The Cinder Track and also the Cleveland Way. It is handy for Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay and Scarborough. We would recommend this cottage to anyone.

Just along the road is the well-known Cinder Track, a disused railway line, twenty three miles long, for walkers, cyclists and your four legged friends!

An enjoyable walk of 2.5 miles brings you to the ancient smugglers village of Robin Hood's Bay, with its sandy cove, rock pools and fossil hunting opportunities.

Just over 2 miles in the other direction is Whitby with its famous Abbey, reached by the 199 steps.

Saunter round the winding streets and hidden alleys, partake in afternoon tea in one of the quaint cafes, or visit the Captain Cook's Museum, there is plenty to occupy all.
