“We loved the property, beds so comfortable!”

Mainly really clean but it does need a good cobwebbing, high ceilings. Could see lots of cobwebs and on the light fittings. Only 5 minutes drive into Whitby, even on a main road we all slept well. We did get slugs in the building after heavy rain, they came through the bottom of the door. Very unpleasant, luckily my dogs didn’t eat them! We had to put the dishwasher on twice per day due not being enough crockery and glasses, would have been nice to have extra to save wasting electricity.

“Could do with a thorough clean and a horrible smell from both bathrooms which we think comes out of plugholes!”

Clifford August 2024

“Beautiful property, nice size for four people and two dogs.”

We'll equipped, nice to have a washing machine for mid week laundry. Beds are so comfortable and the showers are the best.

“Very nice place to stay although the let has been around for some time now and things are getting worn with use.”

A wardrobe drawer was found to be broken when we arrived and could not be used during our stay. It was reported but no repair was offered during our time there. Brushes do not last forever, ours was well past it and there is no place to dry clothes other than outside, weather permitting. A clothes drying rack would be a handy item as not everything is able to go into a drier,which there is no drier at Abbey View, just the washing machine. I paid a visit to the campsite laundry room, quite expensive if you only wish to dry a few items. A clothes drying rack gets my vote.

Abbey view cottage was in a lovely location ideal as well for our dogs as they settled in well plenty of fields to let them expend some energy The cottage itself was so relaxing a nice chill out week & within easy walking distance in to Whitby itself The amenities were very good would definitely book again at some point Mr p a Atkinson Mrs c Atkinson oh & the dogs

Glenda May 2024

“Abbey View cottage was without a doubt the best holiday cottage that we have ever stayed in, it had everything that we needed to make our stay perfect.”

The beds were so comfortable and the site so quiet that after an energetic day with our dogs we slept like logs. There are 2 pubs that serve food and are dog friendly within a mile walk ( although one is down a very steep hill) we caught the bus at the park and ride to Whitby across the road and visited the nursery next to the park and ride site also dog friendly. I would definitely book this cottage if staying in the area again.

“Repeat customer, would not book anywhere else.”

Perfect location for us and our 2 dogs

Heidi March 2024

“Beautiful property, everything you could need.”

Some great features ; 2 full ensure bathrooms, the gates so the dog could go outside, washing line! , field go walk the dog in. Would highly recommend.

Claire February 2024

“Beautiful cottage and facilities.”

Great location, minutes away from Whitby. Next to a very busy road, which didn’t bother our family, but could be heard. Broadings farm and caravan site was lovely, would recommend and certainly return❣️

- Claire, February 2024

Thankyou for the lovely feedback hope to see you again Kind regards Margaret and dave Property Owner
Carol December 2023

“Beautiful cottage, perfect for a short break.”

Had everything we needed and car parking. Only a 5 min drive into Whiby. We had a lovely Christmas here and we even had blue skies and sunshine for a couple of days.

- Carol, December 2023

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback we are glad you enjoyed your stay with us Kind regards Margaret and dave Property Owner
Kate December 2023

“The cottage is lovely, warm and comfortable with secure private garden for dogs and provision of a 'poo' bin which is excellent Accommodation was clean and quality of furnishings very good Yes there is Road noise which we expected knowing the location but you don't here it inside However, as has been pointed out numerous times there really is a lack of cutlery and glassware which sadly stops me being able to give a star review Also no provision of oven gloves is not good as it's dangerous using tea towels to remove hot items from the oven .”

... come on please get this sorted out....we have to eat in a lot as my husband has a swallow problem and it wasn't easy Also perhaps a useful addition would be a water bowl and mat for our 4 legged friends It such a disappointment when the rest of the cottage was so lovely

- Kate, December 2023
Graham November 2023

“This is the third time at Broadings farm.”

We have stayed twice in Stag cottage . Excellent cottages great for the dog he loved the dog field & great base for exploring the area .

- Graham, November 2023
Joanne October 2023

“Second stay at Abbey View and would happily return again.”

Clean, modern, spacious accomodation ideally situated for visiting Whitby and the surrounding area. Agree with others that more cutlery would be preferable. Also, still only 3 wine glasses for 4 people, and the ones there are mismatched.

- Joanne, October 2023
Eileen October 2023

“Another perfect stay in this lovely cottage.”

- Eileen, October 2023
Connie September 2023

“The cottage was perfect, in a great location to travel surrounding areas.”

There is a main road next to the cottage but once you were inside you could not hear anything. A beautiful place to stay.

- Connie, September 2023
Susan August 2023

“We had a lovely week, the lounge, kitchen and dining area is a very generous space.”

The beds are very comfortable and the en-suite showers are very powerful. The negatives are, the cottage was dirty the tops were clean but the skirting boards and floors were filthy, cobwebs in the lounge and the rug needed a good vacuum luckily we took covers for the settee. The kitchen needs more glasses, cups and cutlery. We requested the bedroom was set up as a king size and cottage was clean as two of us have MS but unfortunately neither were actioned. The outside area has good parking for two cars and secure for our two small dogs. The road noise is loud but didn’t effect us plus we took two sun loungers. There is a great field for dog walking just around the corner away from the main road which has a hard surface suitable for our scooters. We would visit again but please address the cleaning.

- Susan, August 2023
Pamala August 2023

“A very spacious, comfortable home from home.”

Everyone we met was friendly and considerate. There is a dog walking area that has amazing views. There was no problem at all with rubbish collection.

- Pamala, August 2023
Heather July 2023

“Property was lovely, very clean, really nice furnishings and finishes, well equipped kitchen.”

It was a lovely place to stay and as an added big bonus it was dog friendly.

- Heather, July 2023
Andrew July 2023

“After a 8.5 hour journey (2 stops en-route for the dogs), we were disappointed to find lip marks on 1 of the glasses in the cupboard, dirty smudges on 2 other glasses, food remains on a fork in the drawer plus a cracked wine glass which had been left in the cupboard.”

This left us needing to wash all glasses, crockery and cutlery etc so wasn’t the best start to the holiday after a full on journey to get there. As we’ve found with most holiday properties, the dishwasher was out of salt and rinse aid. Not sure what had been sprayed in the fridge either but the smell took our breath away for most of the week. Another negative was the very fast, busy and noisy road which was right alongside the property and meant we had to sleep with the windows closed to help muffle the noise, so it got quite warm. This closeness to a busy national speed limit road wasn’t clear in the listing description when we booked but we think should be mentioned. All that said, this accommodation worked well for us as a family. It was a decent size and the enclosed garden space was a huge bonus for the dogs. It was an ideal spot for quick access into Whitby and surrounding areas of interest. The dog walking area was great. Shop and pub were also just minutes away too. In fact, we knew the cottage was empty on the evening we were due to travel home. We were out on the Wednesday evening so text the contact number given to see if we could pay the extra to stay another night on the Saturday. We were told someone would get back to us. They didn’t so on the Thursday we went over to reception and asked. Again, we were told they’d see if this was possible and someone would give us a call. Again, they didn’t so we left we an overall bitter taste from this holiday experience here…that’s after stripping the beds and hoovering up first. Seems guests have to do more and more to ‘protect’ the cleaners (we assume from Covid still) but cleaners can leave properties with some inadequate levels of cleanliness. Overall, a nice place but with a few lets downs.

Val July 2023

“Excellent holiday home had a lovely time”

- Val, July 2023
Phyllis June 2023

“The property was very good it was our 2nd year in the same place, because I suffer with anxiety so it was good to go back to the same place.”

We had a great time it’s like home from home but posher.

- Phyllis, June 2023
Andrew June 2023

“Great holiday again at abbey view cottage,unfortunately the price hike for 24 season is to much on this property.”

- Andrew, June 2023
Kevin June 2023

“Absolutely first class.”

It's a super location although a litle noisy we found with the road being so close to the accomodation. With the speed limit set to the national 70mph between the two roundabouts,most drivers seemed to want to get from one roundabout to the next as quick as possible at the fastest speed,day or night. Without a doubt,a fine place to stay and so close to Whitby. Perfect.

- Kevin, June 2023
Susan June 2023

“Excellent accommodation.”

Nicely decorated, well laid out and spotlessly clean. It was very handy to have the Park & Ride into Whitby nearby. ,

- Susan, June 2023
Nick May 2023

“Accommodation was perfect for us both and our 2 dogs .”

It was near to main road but that didn’t bother us ! Close to a shop and a pub restaurant and ideally situated for exploring yorkshire !!

- Nick, May 2023
Valerie April 2023

“A well designed new cottage with lovely features.”

Plenty of space, large modern kitchen area, soft white bedding and towels and good showers in the en suites. Excellent location on edge of Whitby with beautiful views. Can't understand some of the negative reviews as it is excellent. Fully recommend.

- Valerie, April 2023
Martin Charles February 2023

“The heating is really tricky and no instructions for use.”

Dishwasher needed salt and rinse aid. Settee really uncomfortable. Needed repairs to toilet on arrival. Recycling haphazard. We stayed in April last year and advised the listing incorrectly showed the cottage as detached and close to sea. No change has been made to either on your site description. All that said great showers , comfy bed and excellent parking and kitchen.

- Martin Charles, February 2023

Thank you for your feedback. The sea is only a mile away from the property, we will make this clearer on the website. We will see whether we can approach the owner and find out if we can make the heating simpler. We have also made the owner aware of the rinse aid and salf needed for the dishwasher. Once again thank you for taking the time to write the feedback. Property Owner
Sabrina February 2023

“The property was beautiful and in a great location, with a lovely view.”

just 5 minutes away from Whitby and 10 Minutes away from goathland. The kitchen was really well equipped and the beds/sofa really comfy. All new furniture and you could see a lot of detail has been put into this property. The waterfall shower was great. I would definitely stay here again. The garden was great however as a small dog owner I feel the gate could have been more secure as there are large gaps in between the wood which my dogs could escape from, nothing a bit of chicken wire wouldn’t fix to put me at ease. The toilet seat was loose in one of the rooms and the flusher didn’t work too well, and the shower seal is lose when she shower door is closed, just a note to look at getting fixed but this didn’t in anyway impact our lovely stay. Could do with leaving a bit more toilet roll and a kitchen worktop spray. Thank you for a lovely stay, the biscuits we got on arrival were a lovely touch and very tasty.

- Sabrina, February 2023
Stephen December 2022

“The cottage central heating was faulty with excessive heat making one of the bedrooms unusable.”

The dishwasher was broken and caused a foul smell in the kitchen area. There was a lack of bathroom soap/shampoo and limited toilet paper. We did not enjoy our stay.

- Stephen, December 2022
Tina November 2022

“Absolutely wonderful holiday at Abbey View Cottage.”

Fabulous position near Whitby for all surrounding areas. Lovely, clean and homely with everything needed for a great holiday.

“Our second holiday at Abbey View cottage and everything was perfect as before.”

Would recommend to anyone. Lovely warm, comfortable and spacious accommodation and a perfect base for exploring Whitby and the surrounding area.

“A modern clean property ideally situated on the outskirts of whitby”

- Frank, October 2022
Janice September 2022

“Well equipped, modern and comfortable cottage, which was somewhat spoiled by its proximity to the main road.”

This meant that traffic noise in the bedroom from quite early in the morning was quite loud and fairly constant.

- Janice, September 2022
Shaun September 2022

“Wonderful property, extremely clean and tastefully furnished.”

Couldn't find fault if I tried.

- Shaun, September 2022

Thankyou so much means a lot Kind regards Margaret Property Owner
Kathryn August 2022

“Cottage was beautiful, well presented and very spacious.”

The enclosed garden was perfect for my dog and the beds were very comfy. A couple of things of note - there were no pint glasses in the property and I think it would benefit from having some as there's pretty much everything else. Then there's the washing machine - it isn't housed properly and when it went into a spin cycle the noise was horrendous as it was banging against the wall and cupboard door. I had to wrestle with it to stop it moving while my dad reached in to switch it off at the wall until it came to a halt. It certainly provided us with a good laugh but could do with being looked at. Overall we were very pleased with our stay and would definitely book again.

- Kathryn, August 2022
Clare August 2022

“Very comfortable stay”

- Clare, August 2022
Sharon July 2022

“Abbey View has obviously been done to a very high standard and we found it very comfortable and really enjoyed our stay.”

However, a few minor details let it down slightly. The welcome pack was akin to a budget hotel with cheap coffee and UHT milk- this little detail on arrival can make all the difference, although the biscuits were really good. It’s not clear in the information that the house is situated next to a very busy and noisy road with a constant stream of traffic at all times of day and night. Although we did get used to it, it was wasn’t as peaceful as we would’ve liked. Situated on the outskirts of Whitby, it was a fair walk into the centre, but the park and ride was a few minutes walk at the top of the road, much handier than taking the car in. A local hotel was situated there too, which was excellent for food and drinks and a great place to sit out on sunny night. The house had great selection of kitchen equipment etc, but sadly lacking in enough dinnerware and glasses, ( no beer glasses) so meant constantly washing dishes as there wasn’t enough without putting the dishwasher all the time. More concerning was the washing machine. I mistakenly put it on early one morning, but had to stop if half way through as it tried to make a bid for freedom, jumping about during the spin cycle. I shudder to think what would’ve happened if we had put it on before going out!! All in all, a lovely holiday home. These issues are not complaints but for the cost of a week staying here, you expect certain standards. A few tweaks would make all the difference.

- Sharon, July 2022
Elaine June 2022

“The cottage was really clean and comfortable.”

We were impressed with the bed linnen and the towels which were good quality. The only thing we would have appreciated was that there was no comfortable outside seating. A couple of deck chairs would have been great. The cottage was perfect for the dogs as it was enclosed. Would definitely recommend this cottage.

- Elaine, June 2022
Alexander May 2022

“The holiday was good but we went out of our way to accept a travel cot and make sure the beds were configured as advertised and neither was done for us which was very disappointing.”

- Alexander, May 2022
Mark May 2022

“Wonderfully spacious and well equipped purpose built holiday cottage.”

Inside was very modern, quality appliances, cooker, fridge freezer, hob, microwave, dishwasher, large screen smart TV. Modern quality small appliances. Ample seating . Good enclosed yard/garden , kept our staffie dog safe . Very large dog exercising field. Twenty minutes walk into centre of Whitby. Cottage well situated for different dog friendly beaches. Quite blown away with the cottage and the facilities, couldn't fault it. No hesitation in booking again . Planning to book again for next year.

- Mark, May 2022
J April 2022

“The photos don't do the cottage justice!”

! It is modern and well maintained with good quality appliances and crockery. We were concerned about noise from the main road after reading other reviews but shouldn't have been as we only heard the occasional vehicle. The garden area was ideal for our puppy and there is also a large dog exercise field next to the caravan site. Will definitely stay here again.

- J, April 2022
Vicki April 2022

“Lovely but a few more mugs/plates etc as washing your cup up every time to have a clean for another cuppa is a bit of a pain especially as dishwasher provided.”

Washing machine needs to be anchored down as it’s not a free standing washing machine and danced across floor when on spin.dropping an earring on bedroom floor noticed unacceptable amount of fluff/dirt under double bed.appreciate you subcontract your cleaning maybe check on them .I do have photo if you wish to see .overall a very lovely tastefully decorated cottage it was just the little things but the little things matter when you’re on holiday and especially if you want to maintain the quality of the stay for your guests . The property location is excellent and the abbey view a bonus

- Vicki, April 2022
Alan April 2022

“Every thing was fine apart from a busy main rd next to the bedroom which it didn't mention in the listings, but got used to it.”

The heating didn't work properly which made it very uncomfortable in the cold evening had to sit in jumpers to keep warm,the heating was uncontrollable with the thermostat it just got incredibly hot in the bedrooms but no heating in the living room, on departure we mentioned it to the cleaner who told us they was aware of this for some weeks, so I think this should have been repaired before our visit of at least should have informed us of the fault which we was disappointed with.

- Alan, April 2022
Andrea March 2022

“The property itself was lovely and in a great area, with a lovely view.”

After unpacking we noted one of the bedside lights did not work, some areas could have been cleaned better, there were no pint glasses, no kitchen roll and no dish cloth. Overall we had a lovely stay and would go again. Can recommend Porto Pizza, they deliver. There is a lovely 30 minute walk from the property into Whitby. Also lots of country walks from the property

- Andrea, March 2022
Elizabeth March 2022

“We had an amazing holiday staying at Abbey View cottage.”

The cottage was really comfortable both in the bedrooms and open plan lounge area. We loved it that both bedrooms had en-suite facilities.The location was excellent for visiting the town or other places of interest. It was the 10th year of our visit to Whitby and staying at Broadlings Farm ( previously in another cottage) and we’ve already booked again for next year.

- Elizabeth, March 2022

Thankyou so much always a pleasure to see you xx Property Owner
Paula March 2022

“The cottage is next to the A171 which is a very busy noisy road, it should say this in your details.”

Also there is no king size bed, just two singles. When we went to reception to enquire they informed us that the beds cannot be made into a king size which is different to the website. Other than that the cottage is beautiful & very comfortable

- Paula, March 2022
Paul February 2022

“Cottage was very nice and comfortable, however a couple of minor issues, found dirty cutlery and a plate on arrival, the bed in one room was quoted as being a superking but could be twin on request, was found as twins, so linked them together The washing machine which we used bounces all over the place in the cupboard and bangs into the unit and knocked the kicker plate off, luckily no damage as we were in at the time.”

Last point the garden bench/table one of the supports was found laying on the floor, just needs repairing. Overall the cottage was good just needs attention to faults listed.

- Paul, February 2022
Christopher February 2022

“We have stayed in a number of Sykes cottages and all have been a good experience.”

Abbey View was disappointing. 1. Only one key provided that meant we had to hide the key if we were out at different times. 2. We had to make 5 trips to the recycling centre with the large amount of bottles and wet boxes left at the door. 3. The rubbish bin was full to overflowing. 4. The dining room chairs had dog hair and detritus on the we had to clean before dining. 5. The dishwasher had a large amount of rice and vegetables in the catchment area. 6. Dog poo left on the grassed area. Overall not what we have come to expect from this cottage organisation. The cottage would benefit with grab rails in the shower and non slip shower / bath mats. Perhaps a toilet roll holder. Otherwise the Cottage is very well appointed.

- Christopher, February 2022

Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback, I'm sorry that there were some issues with your stay. I'll be looking into these issues and taking necessary action to improve on them for our next visitors. Thank you and we hope to see you in the future. Property Owner

“Absolutely amazing.”

Incredible high standard of accommodation.

- Samantha, January 2022
Charles January 2022

“A beautiful cottage with everything you could possibly need.”

It is practically new and in perfect condition and very well maintained. I must comment on the beautifully clean and comfortable bed which was something else and the underfloor heating which our two dogs loved It is ideally located for access to not only the coast but also the inland visitor attractions in this area of the county. A very highly recommended holiday cottage.

- Charles, January 2022

Neil November 2021

“Fantastic cottage.”

Everything you needed and more. Both bedrooms being en-suite was great. The cottages was beautifully decorated. Underfloor heating was a bonus. 20 minute walk into the town. Will definitely stay again.

- Neil, November 2021
Peter October 2021

“We really enjoyed our stay at Abbey View.”

Very clean property, super underfloor heating system (very toasty), great facilities. Totally pet friendly with plenty of space inside and an enclosed garden. A fair walk into Whitby and as the property is at the side of a busy main road, its a careful walk along a grass verge to the nearest pub for good food (The Stables). Pub very dog friendly - providing little dog bed and treats whilst we ate. Great access to local walks and tourist attractions. Would definitely recommend Abbey View to others. If I were to give this property a 10/10 then I would recommend the addition of another armchair in the lounge for ultimate relaxing if two families stayed.

“The cottage is really fabulous-one of the best we’ve stayed in.”

The outside area is great-we had a particularly lovely week weather wise, so the patio area was spot on. The kitchen is so well equipped with absolutely everything you need and the lounge is super comfortable. We used the super king bed, which was super comfy and the en suite was lovely-great to have a bath and a shower-tends to be one or the other. The owner came to welcome us and was very helpful and friendly. The location is fabulous-we visited so many lovely places locally. We will definitely be back!
