October 2024

“Comfortable and spacious rooms.”

Well equipped kitchen. One shower room was rather small and beds would have been better as king size rather than double. Lovely open fire and sufficient seating in lounge. Ideally located between two pubs (both doing food and cask ales) with a chip shop and butchers opposite. Not far from picturesque Runswick Bay and accessible for Staithes and Saltburn on Sea.

“Lovely house, great location, we will definitely be back”

Rita September 2024

“This is a really lovely house in a fantastic situation for visiting this part of the Country.”

Plenty of space for 6 people to get along without getting on top of each other. Our bed was super comfortable. Large room and having ensuite shower - lovely. Superb kitchen and dining room, lots of books and games available. My only 3 observations are - that lounge is so very dark even in daylight hours, perhaps a couple of walls in a lighter colour. Secondly instructions for the cooker. Found it a bit confusing to use but that's not the end of the world. Freezer a bit knackered

“We had a great stay at Fair Holme and happily recommend it to anyone reading.”

The description's accurate, you'll be comfortable and have everything you need, but something it doesn't convey is how airy the house is - those high ceilings really add to an impression of space. If you're in a group, go and bagsie the room on the right at the top of the stairs straightaway. If you fail at that, think about showers when choosing between the other two rooms, because the shower in the middle room is pretty tight. There are a few comments about struggling to work the telly. It's fine, but it's digital-only and the controller does have an unusually small home button, just an outline on the top left of the group round the Ok one. It's also missing the plastic battery cover. We stuck a laggy band round it, if that's gone you'll need to keep the batteries in with your thumb. Watch out for the seal at the bottom of the shower gate in the utility room. We couldn't work out the trick to it, so ended up with a small mopping job after hosing down the (unappreciative) dog.

Belal August 2024

“Excellent property.”

The internet listing doesn't justify the property. The whole family enjoyed the property and a great location for nearby beaches. Just one negative the water temperature was very hot especially in the kitchen. We would like to stay there again. Highly recommended.

- Belal, August 2024
Deborah August 2024

“Living room layout not good for a large family.”

Tv in wrong place and only 1 sofa comfortable to sit on in evening. Upstairs was lovely although shower in 3nd double very small. Was a struggle to get in the room

Maureen July 2024

“The owner of the property was so nice, he help in anyway he could, my daughter left he dogs dishes he said that she could pop back to the property to retrieve them, the property it’s self was so pretty we felt at home We visited some of the surrounding areas all easy to get to without much travelling, lots to see and do.”

Would definitely recommend this property for a lovely stay.

- Maureen, July 2024
Susanna June 2024

“Lovely holiday cottage as described with good facilities - we liked the location with easy access up and down the coast…but deeply disappointed that the outside bins had clearly not been emptied recently; the general waste bin was full and smelt unpleasant- we put it out on the allotted day and so there was space to leave our rubbish there at the end of the week.”

The recycling bin, which should have been emptied the previous week, was too full to add our recyclable waste. I realise the first responsibility lies with whoever is staying at the time, but surely it is possible to deal with this, if it hasn’t been done?

- Susanna, June 2024
Faye June 2024

“Lovely stay, thank you.”

“Great, comfortable house, ideal for what we needed.”

- Simon, June 2024
Sandra June 2024

“We found Fair Holme to be situated in a good position to access the coast and countryside of N Yorkshire.”

The house was clean and warm and the beds were comfy - always a good thing on holiday! The owner was excellent in solving a couple of problems for us. Maybe there could be better instructions for using the TV. 3 ladies of a certain age needed a bit more info!!

“Wi-Fi router broke after 1 day.”

Owner bought another one from Argos and travelled from Leeds to set us up with wifi and the smart TV but couldn’t. He contacted his provider but the new router did not arrive during our rental period. This also caused minor problems with the central heating as the room stat was controlled by wifi. The owner showed us how to use the central heating manually. The TV could not be used in smart mode with only basic channels being available, another inconvenience.

- Michael, May 2024
Judith May 2024

“Great holiday let.”

Very well furnished and had all appliances and kitchen wear that we needed. Four of us never figured out how to get live tv on the television. But Netflix etc was fine. Would definitely return and recommend.

- Judith, May 2024
Joyce May 2024

“It was very comfortable and had every thing we needed.”

I can recommend the Seaview Restaurant in Saltburn been there twice now and food just as good as a year ago.

- Joyce, May 2024
Linda March 2024

“We found this as we expected.”

We had a couple of problems but the owner helped us to sort them out. Beds were very comfortable and the showers were excellent. Local butchers excellent and the Brown car pub very welcoming. Buses were convenient . Would like to visit again and recommend to others

- Linda, March 2024
Tracey March 2024

“Fabulous cottage.”

Very warm, extremely clean and very comfortable. Great having downstairs toilet and 3 en-suites. Very noisy road which stopped us having good nights sleep. Disappointed was no washing up liquid or dishwasher capsules, which is normally provided

- Tracey, March 2024
John February 2024

“Shouldn’t say this because as we want to come back loved everything about cottage it was fantastic we had no complaints great location friendly and helpful landlord at the brown bear great walks and location if your negative about this cottage.”

You’ve got to be a moaner

Katherine December 2023

“We stayed for 4 days three nights over new year.”

Apart from an initial issue with the heating which was quickly rectified, we had a fabulous stay. Perfect location for runswick bay, Sandsend, Whitby, staithes. Huge property but as there was only 2 of us, we only really used the lounge and one bedroom, despite having 3 to choose from! Downstairs loo and shower are handy after a day walking, even if the extension is a little chilly in winter which is to be expected.

- Katherine, December 2023
Anne Christine October 2023

“Thrilled with our accommodation, near to two pubs, Fish and Chip Shop, and Butchers.”

Bus stop a few metres walk away. Direct bus to Whitby or Saltburn. Short drive to Runswick Bay. All in all ideal holiday location. Only one suggestion. A Grab Rail in on of the showers would be useful for us Oldies

“Fair holme was a lovely cottage with 3 bedrooms all ensuite which is a rarity ...”

Fair holme was a lovely cottage with 3 bedrooms all ensuite which is a rarity plus a down stairs shower room The cottage was lovely and furnished to a high standard with everything thought of Parking was a bit tight but that's because we have a big estate car but also street parking for our other 2 cars Really enjoyed our stay although the weather was hit and miss but can't organise the weather We woukd recommend

- Marian, September 2023
Jo September 2023

“A beautiful house, immaculately clean.”

Well equipped and very convenient for pubs, fish and chips, and buses. Loved our stay there.

- Jo, September 2023
Kevin June 2023

“The property was excellent in all respects.”

However, some of the information on the website regarding facilities in the village needs updating. Whilst there are two pubs, neither is open on all days of the week and only one is still doing meals. Also, the fish and chip shop directly opposite is only open for 9 hours per week on 3 evenings. The butcher shop is excellent and sells much more than meat. Having said all that, we had a fabulous holiday and will book with Sykes again.

- Kevin, June 2023
Martin May 2023

“Lovely property very well presented/maintained and clean.”

Liked the downstairs shower which we could have used for the dog (but didn’t need to). Even better if we had understood the tv requirements more eg needed our Netflix password etc. Bit strange not having terrestrial channels but not a major problem as we were out most of the time.

- Martin, May 2023
Deanna March 2023

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Hinderwell, the cottage is in a great location and the neighbors were friendly and welcoming.”

The cottage is a great space and the facilities were amazing. We found after a long days walking the sofas/chairs were not the most comfortable (this is a personal opinion). Also, the windows at the front of the house upstairs are broken so blew open wide on their own - which when returning from being out all day caused a concern regarding security.

- Deanna, March 2023
Alan December 2022

“Our second time staying here at ‘Fairholme’ in Hinderwell, and as great as last year, thank you!”

Great area for country, coast or seaside walks and trips out and a we enjoyed a great meal out at the Badger Hounds Pub nearby, and Fish & Chips from Excelsior in Staithes too. We can thoroughly recommend Fairholme, cheers from both the Coopers & the Marshall family.

- Alan, December 2022
Stuart August 2022

“Lovely cottage.”

Decorated and kept to a high standard. Beds comfortable and all ensuite which is a bonus for a large family. The village is ok - 2 pubs, fish and chip shop, tea room and a butchers is pretty much what's there for locals and runswick bay is just around the corner and you can start a section of the Cleveland way from here too. (Nice walk along clifftops to Staithes) The cottage is on the main road which is busy but no problem if you are out during the day. It's a good base for visiting other areas like Robin hoods bay, staithes, saltburn and whitby.

- Stuart, August 2022
Louise July 2022

“Spacious property, well equipped kitchen and in lovely spot with walks nearby.”

Good bus route from the village. Helpful host and would book again.

- Louise, July 2022
Louise June 2022

“I can highly recommend this house.”

It's spacious, attractively decorated and well-equipped. It's situated between the beautiful scenic coastal villages of Runswick Bay and Staithes, and it's just a short drive to Whitby and the North York Moors. A perfect location.

- Louise, June 2022
Brian June 2022

“Absolutely wonderful.”

Perfectly placed in the village, spacious, everything my wife and I needed. Many thanks. PS. Couldn’t get TV guide to work but not important, watched Netflix, much better.

- Brian, June 2022
Bryan Jon March 2022

“Fantastic designer property, which feel ultra modern but extremely inviting, homely feel and very spacious.”

This is a typical example where the photo do not do the property justice and the owners should be proud of what they have created as every single aspect has been cleverly calculated. Will be stopping here again!

- Bryan Jon, March 2022
Alan December 2021

“I think the fact that we immediately rebooked this great Fairholme Cottage in Hinderwell just days after returning from a super break, says it all !”

Lovely really comfy house in a great area with lots of walks, places to visit and 2 Pubs with good food really close by. We’re looking forward to going back to this lovely cottage.

- Alan, December 2021
Karen June 2021

“Perfect place to stay.”

The house was beautiful. However, only enough room to park one car.

- Karen, June 2021
Ian October 2020

“The property is ideally situated to explore the Cleveland Way and the nearby coast.”

Staithes and Runswick Bay are a comfortable one hours walk away with time to admire the many stunning views both inland and out to sea. The property is again well placed to enjoy an evening drink and a meal at the pubs in the village which are both conveniently situated to either side of the accommodation. An excellent small butchers shop which also sells a few other items (eg milk) is just across the road. We enjoyed our visit to Hinderwell.

- Ian, October 2020
Jayendra September 2020

“Faire Holme is situated in one of the most stunning coast lines in the UK.”

The accommodation is absolutely amazing in terms of: a. Situation b. Size c. Internal layout and comfort d. Furnishing and style e. Kitchen and utilities + all the necessary equipment f. People in the village and the pubs surrounding for food and drink Overall we are already thinking of booking for next year. Thank you the owners for providing such a comfortable and appealing break.

“Generous sized accommodation, and an excellent location.”

- Elizabeth, September 2020
Tracy August 2020

“The house is lovely, in an ideal place between Staithes, Port Mulgrave and Runswick Bay for walkers.”

The house could do with a dryer as well as the washing machine. There is no space to dry clothes with not having a back garden. Neighbours and the Chip shop owner are not very welcoming to visitors to this house. Lovely chip shop in Staithes where you will get lovely customer service.

- Tracy, August 2020
Jill August 2020

“We were disappointed to find the front garden and 2 off road parking spaces were one in the same.”

Meant we had no front garden at all. Also the sofa bed downstairs was extremely uncomfortable and we had to buy a blow up mattress. Otherwise we loved our stay at Fair Holme.
