“The cottage has everything you need it was very clean, cosy, warm and plenty of hot water.”

It’s set on a working farm but there was no disruptions. Nice field for dogs to run in all fenced off. It’s in a good place for travelling to different locations in the area and supermarkets just down the road.

It has everything we need,it is very clean and comfortable well equipped for two people .Just four miles from Whitby there are two supermarkets down the road .if you have a dog there is a small paddock for it to run in off the lead

“Our second stay at this farm though not in this cottage.”

Lovely little cottage. Comfortable, everything you need for a stay. And since above photo, they have some planters with tall plants that give private little sitting area.

- Karen, September 2024
Karen July 2024

“A lucky last minute booking, but checked in super easily.”

Very comfortable, clean and homely. Well placed for exploring the area. Great, enclosed dog field just behind the cottage as well as walks along the lane to public footpaths & bridleways. Hope to stay here again.

- Karen, July 2024
Lizzie June 2024

“Nice cottage and good location.”

We had everything we needed. Dog friendly and peaceful. We walked into Robin Hood's Bay, hiked over North York Moors and explored the beautiful coastline then relaxed in our cosy cottage. A really great holiday!

- Lizzie, June 2024
Kathy June 2024

“Enjoyed our stay as a base for walking the Cleveland Way coast and playing some golf.”

There was plenty of room for two in the bedroom and lounge/dining area. The kitchen although well equipped is a little small for two at the same time! We were somewhat disappointed with the views from inside the property. We wrongly assumed we would have an open view. As we didn’t spend a lot of time at the property this wasn’t much of an issue.

- Kathy, June 2024
William May 2024

“The owners were very helpful and attended to all our needs in a flash,including re- charging car battery when car lights had been left on over night.”

The cottage was every thing that one needed for a lovely holiday break.

- William, May 2024
Robert May 2024

“Nice cottage for a couple or one man and his dog like me.”

Ideally placed for all the great North Yorks towns and villages. Only one disappointment was the absence of the lovely seat and picnic bench that are in the photos as I was looking forward to enjoying a coffee or glass of wine on them.

- Robert, May 2024
Lynne May 2024

“We had the most amazing 3 days at the cottage with our two dogs, to celebrate our anniversary.”

A perfect location for getting out and about. Walking distance to Robin Hoods Bay, short drive to Whitby and close to Scarborough. Clean, cosy and just perfect for what we wanted. Looking forward to a return visit next year!

- Lynne, May 2024

“Only stayed 3days that was enough there were people there with dogs barking ...”

Only stayed 3days that was enough there were people there with dogs barking everytime you opened the door not even a bottle of milk on arrival to make a drink of tea

- Charles, May 2024
Ian April 2024

“Second time we’ve stayed at Abbey view farm and we really like the quietness of the location.”

The cottages have everything you need for a lovely stay. However central heating wasn’t always available to click on at the thermostat during the cold season.

An excellent base for the Coast and the Dales. We experienced some beautiful skies whilst we were there and despite the strong winds the cottage was cosy and warm.

- Angelique, December 2023
Sue December 2023

“I had a great holiday at this little cottage.”

It was well equipped, warm and very cosy. There is an enclosed area apart from the house for dogs to use. It is an easy short drive to Robin Hood's Bay and Whitby. Ideal, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

- Helen, November 2023
Frances November 2023

“A delightful little cottage with fabulous views.”

A good location for touring the area. Had everything I needed. The only downside was the door lock. It took me a while to figure out that you have to push the door against the frame. Several times I thought I was either locked in or out. Possibly a new fridge/freezer with the fridge at the top?

- Frances, November 2023
Kerry October 2023

“Perfect location in between Whitby and Robin Hood Bay.”

Perfect for my dog as he had his own paddock. Watching sunrise over the bay from the cottage was beautiful. Would definitely recommend this lovely, clean, well equipped cottage. ( amazing comfortable kingsize bed too !!! )

“The cottage was very comfortable and cosy with a well equipped kitchen.”

Overslept a number of times because the bed was so comfy! It is a great base to investigate the area from and we look forward to going back next year. The owners are very friendly and they ensured the grass in the dog paddock was kept short and the poo bin was changed regularly as were the dustbins.

- Jillian, July 2023

Alison April 2023

“Disappointed that the cottage was advertised for arrivals from 3pm but when we received key details there was a little note at the end of the very long email to say it would be after 5pm.”

I do think if 3pm is advertised and that is one of the reasons I chose this cottage it should be adhered to. Faulty wardrobe door which came off hinges and hit me in face just below the eye, please ensure this is fixed by owner. did not see owner, no one checked all was ok which was unusual.

- Alison, April 2023

Alistair January 2023

“Our 3-night stay in Abbey View Cottage exceeded our expectations.”

It had recently been redecorated and had an excellent new shower installed, so it was even better than the Sykes description. Also, the bed was the comfiest I have ever slept in!

Christine December 2022

“We had a lovely week at the cottage, we went to celebrate my 60th birthday.”

The cottage is very well equipped with everything needed. Its very warm, cosy, comfortable, well maintained and clean. The mattress and topper are of really good quality and very comfy. We had a lot of snow whilst there and didn't need the heating on above 20, it must have really good insulation. Our 14 year old dog enjoyed the snow and private dog area. The views are stunning. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

- Christine, December 2022
Malcolm December 2022

“VERY WARM AND FRIENDLY!”

WONDERFUL PLACE TO STAY! FANTASTIC LOCATION!!!!

- Malcolm, December 2022
Alan November 2022

“Rented this cottage to escape the fireworks and give our dog a break from all the noise!”

Lovely warm little cottage with all the comforts you need, just what we were looking for. Although it's only a mile away from the nearest pub and shops access is via a single lane track with no lighting, so if you meet someone coming the other way you could have a bit of a problem! so we only ventured out during daylight! which suited us anyway.

- Alan, November 2022
Ann October 2022

“A lovely practical and comfortable cottage, well situated and very dog friendly.”

David September 2022

“Abbey view was just what we wanted, quiet and in the countryside.”

we found the cottage immaculate well equipped for our needs and comfortable .The bed was kingsize which was comfy and warm and there was plenty of room to put your clothes . As it is on a farm there are no street lights so the night light in the kitchen is a very good idea to give some light if you need the toilet at night . Abbey view will be our first choice when we go back to Whitby .

- David, September 2022
Carolyn July 2022

“Quiet rural location, ideal for visiting Whitby and surrounding area.”

Nice to have off road parking. Excellent fenced grassed area for dogs to run around (shame everyone didn't clean up after their dog though). Surprised there was no mention of recycling facilities in the cottage. Comfy bed enabling a good nights sleep.

- Carolyn, July 2022
Diane July 2022

“What a lovely little cottage.”

Has all you need to explore the area. The cottage is comfy and well equipped. Lots of local walks to do with the dog and the paddock area for the dogs was great to let Ruby run after her ball. Owners are very friendly and welcoming. Will be back as we still have more to do.

- Diane, July 2022
Gill July 2022

“Lovely location, good facilities, friendly and helpful owners.”

Also,very dog friendly. There's a dog walking enclosure with poo bin available, which is handy or you can take a stroll up the relatively quiet lanes and footpaths on the doorstep. The cottage was well equipped and cosy. Had everything we needed and was very comfortable. In the record breaking temperatures it kept cool which was good.

- Gill, July 2022
David May 2022

Simon February 2022

“Abbey Cottage was ideal for our 3 night stay; cosy, comfortable and an excellent base to tour the coast and inland areas.”

We were welcomed on arrival by the owner who provided an overview of the well equipped accommodation. Good views looking out over towards Whitby with the cottage set within a rural and quiet location. We would recommend a bathroom refresh as it felt a little tired in its decoration, but it provided an adequate / hot shower as well as the other amenities.

- Simon, February 2022
Michael December 2021

“We stayed in the cottage from 13th Dec to the 18th Dec and found it absolutely perfect for us.”

Lovely and cosy and spotlessly clean. The owner was very friendly and helpful, but in the main we were just left to come and go as we pleased. I would definitely recommend this property and would love to stay there in future.

- Michael, December 2021

Neil August 2021

“We had a great stay, from the warm welcome when we arrived to the ease of checkout, the whole experience was great, The pictures on the website don't do the property justice, as a few updates to the facilities have been made since they were put on.”

The kitchen has been updated and the furniture changed. The cottage was well equipped and comfortable. It was just the right size for the two of us and an energetic springer spaniel. Good location for exploring the east coast, Easy to find and easy access to the main roads to travel around the area. Would highly recommend this cottage for a well deserved break.

- Neil, August 2021

- Margaret, June 2021
Brian May 2021

“Very well equipped cosy two person cottage in a rural setting.”

Very friendly owners. Our only comment is that the fron tdoor faces onto a concrete yard with the small grass sitting out area on the other side of the building. A bit more outdoor furniture would be good. We really enjoyed our stay at Abbey View Cottage. The combination of coastal paths with moorland walks and plenty of good places to eat in Robin Hoods Bay and nearby Whitby was ideal.

- Brian, May 2021
Susan May 2021

“Abbey view cottage is lovely.”

It’s location is really good. In a very quiet rural location, and yet close enough to all amenities. The cottage is very cosy and comfortable. With everything you need for your stay. The owners are really friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and hope that we can return again very soon.

- Susan, May 2021
Flora April 2021

“Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”

Cottage perfect for the two adults and two dogs we booked for - clean and tidy on arrival. Big rooms for a one bed cottage which was nice in the evening, everything we needed in kitchen. Owners around but not intrusive, we needed help with the DVD player; they could not have been more helpful. Highly recommended.

- Flora, April 2021
Graham October 2020

“Not at all dog friendly.”

Garden detached from the property, across an access track. One corner of this garden had what appeared to be rotting farm waste. Upon opening the curtains in the mornings we were met with a view across the courtyard that was covered in dog poo from the owners' dogs. Nice large bedroom but windows had some damp and mould issues.

- Graham, October 2020
Susan March 2020

“Abbey View Cottage was a brilliant place for our short break with our Springer Spaniel, Benji.”

It was very clean & cosy and a great place for getting around all the fantastic places to see in the area. The owners were very friendly & welcoming & gave us local info. The alpacas in the field adjoining the paddock were also friendly !! I would thoroughly recommend Abbey View Cottage - 10/10.

- Susan, March 2020
John December 2019

- John, December 2019
Ann November 2019

“Lovely cosy cottage perfect for 2 (plus 2 small dogs).”

Nice location away from it all, yet close to main road to Whitby. It has been a particularly wet autumn, so the dog field was a little soggy but nicely enclosed to allow for early morning and late evening toilet breaks.

- Ann, November 2019
Derek November 2019

- Terence, September 2019
Barbara September 2019

“On arrival we were made very welcome by the owner and shown around the cottage.”

The cottage was very cosy and had everything we needed. As the evenings we’re getting chillier plenty of heating was provided. The views from outside the cottage were spectacular looking over Whitby Bay, the Abbey and the sea. The neighbouring farm added to the backdrop. It was situated well for exploring the coast and the moors. Would recommend this cottage.

- Barbara, September 2019
Sandra August 2019

Karen July 2019

“This cottage is a lovely cosy little cottage The big disappointment for us was ...”

This cottage is a lovely cosy little cottage The big disappointment for us was the fact that it had no private outside space to sit out , the garden was right opposite the caravan and camping park, so it was really overlooked

“A delightful cottage but with a few limitations.”

If you're an internet junkie no wi fi. Quirky plumbing could be off putting for some ( first time I've seen backfill in the loo when draining the sink!!!!). Other than that, a winner for us.

- Jayne, January 2019
Steven November 2018

“Good base for a walking holiday.”

Plenty to do in the area, even in the winter months. Whitby only 15 mins drive away. Toasty warm cottage. Good shower and comfortable bed. TV reception could be patchy on some days. Nice people and would go back.

For this reason only we won't be booking this cottage again. The people and the cottage were lovely apart from that. Thank you so much.

- Lisa, May 2017
Geoff November 2016

“Overall, a small cosy cottage with a comfy bed and seating.”

Good facilities and kitchen. A quiet rural location, but not far from Sainsbury's, Whitby etc. However it did not merit the euphoric comments in the visitor's book (Best ever etc etc ) For the price, I would have given it 5/5, but a few niggles lower it somewhat. We made fair comment in the book, but left a separate note for the owners along the lines :- No one ever enquired '' Everything OK? " We arrived on a very cold afternoon. Suspect no one in previous week, as the cottage was not warm. The extra electric heater ( mentioned on line ) was not working. We used our own fan heater to warm it up. Next day, all was cosy. One bedside light was not working - too small and low anyway. Grill pan handle not complete. One pan lid and handle had loose fixing screws. Kitchen taps very stiff Hardly any washing up liquid. Not much food storage space. Why 9 wine glasses(some dirty)? Tourist info! 2012 bus timetable !!!

- Geoff, November 2016
Christopher September 2016

Brian July 2012

“Firstly, we enjoyed the welcome from the owners - along with their friendliness, helpfulness, and guidance and where to go and what to do.”

We liked the serenity of the location - a separate holiday compound adjacent to a dairy farm (very quiet), with an adjoining paddock where about 6 alpacas would give you the once-over while you were outside having your morning coffee, admiring the view over to Whitby Abbey. We also liked the absolute delight of being in a real farmhouse cottage, with all mod cons, a top-of-the-line bed in a massive bedroom, and everything you needed in the kitchen. Finally, we liked the proximity to the stunning scenery and the towns and villages of North Yorkshire, well within an hours drive of High Normanby: Robin Hood's Bay; Saltburn-by-the-Sea; Guisborough; Hutton-le-Hole; Thornton-le-Dale; Rievaulx Abbey; and of course Whitby. We had an absolutely wonderful relaxing week, and sincerest thanks to the owners.

- Brian, July 2012
Diane June 2012

“The owners were very welcoming.”

About the location

ROBIN HOOD’S BAY

Whitby 6 miles; Scarborough 17 miles.

Robin Hood's Bay, with its narrow cobbled streets and quaint cottages, is one of the most picturesque villages on the English coastline. Situated between Scarborough and Whitby, this charming old fishing village is to be found nestling at the edge of a wide sweeping bay backed by spectacular cliffs and dramatic moorland scenery, and was once home to author Leo Walmsley. All holidaymakers will love the beach and its cliff-top walks, whilst more serious walkers will enjoy the many long distance trails that pass through the Cleveland Way, the Lyke Wake Walk and the Coast to Coast walks which all take in Robin Hood’s Bay. The village amenities are superb, with charming alleyways to explore and plenty of places to rest, relax and take refreshment. A perfect base for enjoying the Yorkshire Coast.
