“First class communication from Karen before our arrival.”

The cottage is an absolute gem with stunning views, spotlessly clean and well equipped. Would certainly recommend and hope to return again in the future.

Denyse February 2025

“We had a lovely week at the cottage, weather was not great but we managed a few walks.”

We like to have control of the heating but you only had to ask and the times where changed, did not need an alarm clock as the boiler cutting on in a morning woke us up. There is some road noise in the bedroom but it's passable. Loved the views from the windows. To sum up a very nice cottage with good walking potential and handy for the bus.

- Denyse, February 2025
Alana December 2024

“Lovely property.”

Ideal location for the village. Fantastic views (sunrise!). Great stay and good communication with host. Thank you

David October 2024

“This is our second stay at Heather Croft, and better than ever.”

Location is a perfect base for walks into the old town, and to Whitby. The cottage is a bit deceiving from the front as it is very spacious. Love the upgraded decking area, enjoyed a brew or too sat out there, taking in the lovely views. Also a great spot for catching the sunrise. The cottage is extremely comfortable with everything you need, good decent parking for 2 vehicles. It has a warm and cosy feel but also naturally light and airy. Would highly recommend Heather Croft. Perfect home from home! Thanks Karen for another great stay!

- David, October 2024
Joanne October 2024

“Heather Croft is a lovely holiday cottage in a perfect location for the North Yorkshire Coast.”

Close to the Cinder Track and the Coastal path. There is a handy bus service passing through in case you prefer to leave the car parked up. It is a real home from home with good kitchen equipment for those self catering. We loved it.

- Joanne, October 2024
Ann September 2024

“Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, perfect.”

We would definitely book again

- Ann, September 2024
Susan July 2024

“The location of the house is excellent with the amenities of Robin Hoods Bay a short walk away.”

Having parking for two cars was a real bonus. The house is spotlessly clean, beds comfortable and it is well equipped to be able to cook. There is a dishwasher which isn’t mentioned in the house details. We loved having the deck to sit out on with great views and friendly neighbours.

- Susan, July 2024
John June 2024

“Lovely cottage with great views ,could do with a better Tv everything else is fine and reasonably equipped.”

- John, June 2024
Samantha April 2024

“Heather Croft is kept beautifully by Karen and is a lovely comfortable cottage with every need catered for.”

The location is perfect, within walking distance of Robin Hoods Bay and there are loads of walks from your doorstep. It's a peaceful sanctuary and perfect holiday 'home from home'. It's great that it's got its own parking too, unlike the cottages down in the Bay, & nice decking to have a meal, while admiring the view ! Thank you Karen for another fabulous stay

- Samantha, April 2024
Rob April 2024

“Another lovely stay.”

Very clean, comfy furnishings. Cooking facilities were great with new pans. The views were fantastic across the bay. Very close to all amenities and great to get to the cinder track. Hopefully back soon to enjoy again.

- Rob, April 2024
Lisa March 2024

“We had a fantastic time at Heather Croft.”

The cottage was absolutely perfect for our family holiday. The owner Karen was so friendly and helpful. The cottage is a real home from home and was very well equipped. Having parking was a real bonus too. And to top it off the views from the decking and the house are wonderful! We’ll definitely return and are already planning our next stay!

- Lisa, March 2024
Maria December 2023

“Our second visit.”

Wonderful cosy cottage, everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. Great views over the bay and we would love a summer visit to make use of the garden and seating area. Owner is very helpful. Parking outside the cottage makes a huge difference. We would definitely recommend.

- Maria, December 2023
Samantha September 2023

“We've stayed a few times at Heather Croft before and are always glad to return.”

The cottage is beautifully clean on arrival with fresh flowers to greet you, and a welcome pack of biscuits! There have been some nice new additions this year ... with cosy cushions & throws to add to the already comfortable sofas downstairs and the new decking & outdoor furniture is perfect. The beds were lovely & fresh & comfy as usual and the kitchen & bathrooms spotless, with a nice powerful shower in the upstairs bathroom. Not having to bring your own towels is a bonus too, as all are provided for you. A lovely, comfy, well looked after cottage in a perfect location with just a short walk to Robin Hoods Bay. See you next year !

- Samantha, September 2023
Colin September 2023

“Second stay at Heather Croft.”

Three years after our first holiday there. Still a lovely cottage, well maintained, clean and well equipped. With a nice view from the lounge and kitchen French windows looking down towards the bay. A couple of minutes walk down to the central shop, coastal path and pub. Just away from the crowds, but close enough to join them.

- Colin, September 2023
David September 2023

“Another enjoyable holiday stay at Heather Croft, lovely cottage with a new smart deck giving super views over Robin hoods bay and Ravenscar.”

- David, September 2023
Linda August 2023

“We had a very comfortable holiday at Heather Croft.”

- Linda, August 2023
Janine August 2023

“Wonderful house!”

All the home comforts and immaculate. Excellent views too! One of the best holiday homes we’ve ever stayed in at Robin Hood’s Bay!

- Janine, August 2023
Sean July 2023

“Lovely location with the view over the bay and within short walk of the nearest pub/hotel and Cleveland way.”

Great accommodation in terms of quality and facilities. Decking was used extensively throughout our stay and a reasonable amount of wildlife could be seen without leaving the house including nightly visits from bats.. If the owner was looking to improve, a small balcony could be added to the first floor twin room via a door where the window currently is giving an even better view over Robin Hoods Bay. That said, could not fault the property or stay and hope to return to the same property in the future.

- Sean, July 2023
Harriet July 2023

“Such a great holiday house.”

Had everything we needed, everything worked and was super clean. Room for two cars in the drive and easy to find with the sign outside. The garden is amazing. Great sea view when sitting at the outside table on the decking area, and lovely grass to run around on. Doors can be kept open, really fresh. Location is excellent. Up the hill so you have great views, but we easily walked down to the bay everyday for rock pooling with our 2.5 and 4.5 year old. Really easy to drive to Whitby for day trips and the falling foss waterfall and tea room was fantastic. Robin Hood's Bay is so nice! Only a couple days into our holiday, I was planning our return trip. I'd definitely stay at this house again. Thank you so much

- Harriet, July 2023
Rachel April 2023

“We had a brilliant stay.”

Perfect location in a comfy cottage which was impeccably clean, including the fridge and oven. We’ll be back!

- Rachel, April 2023
Rob April 2023

“A wonderful place to stay with fantastic views and amazing bird life in the garden, including the family of robins.”

New decking at the back and garden furniture looks very inviting for the sunny months! The new bed in the main bedroom is very comfy. Brilliant position for visiting everything in the area with short walks to the pub and shops. Kitchen has everything you need and all the furniture is very comfy throughout the rooms.

- Rob, April 2023
Gordon November 2022

“We found it impossible to contact the owner on the two numbers given to obtain the code for the key safe which we tried the day before our holiday and on arriving at the property.”

We left voice mail messages which were not answered which we thought very rude and the messages inside the property saying ring if you need any further information would have been a waste of time using. We sat out side the property on our arrival at 3 pm on a Saturday afternoon and rang Sykes cottages who thankfully answered and managed to find the code so we could start our holiday. This would stop us using that property again or recommending it .

- Gordon, November 2022
Andrea October 2022

“Everything we wanted in a holiday home.”

Fully equipped, comfortable , clean, spacious. Glorious views to the bay. Parking for car. Perfect for Walking into Robin Hoods Bay, Boggle Hole, fossiling, Whitby. Would gladly stay there again.

- Andrea, October 2022
David September 2022

“Another enjoyable week spent at Heather Croft.”

A very comfortable cottage well placed for visiting the coast and inland.

- David, September 2022
Rob April 2022

Would recommend it to anyone wanting to visit the area.

- Karen, March 2022
Carol March 2022

“We had a lovely stay at Heather Croft, comfortable and clean also it was lovely to rent a property with a parking space.”

Home from home I would say. We had some lovely visits out Whitby, the Magpie is a must. Staithes, Sandsend, Runswick Bay to name a few. A pub few minutes walk away that serves excellent food, what more could you wish for.

- Carol, March 2022
Vikki December 2021

“Beautiful well kept cottage, so cosy.”

Would definitely recommend x

- Vikki, December 2021
Charles October 2021

“Excellent cottage.”

very clean. everything we needed was there. lovely location with great views

- Charles, October 2021
Howard July 2021

“The cottage is excellent, it is conveniently located, and is one of the few in Robin Hoods Bay with off-road parking.”

The only reservation is that the mattress in the main bedroom is too firm, making it uncomfortable to sleep in.

- Howard, July 2021
Doreen June 2021

“Location is excellent so peaceful and quiet with lovely views.”

- Doreen, June 2021
Debbie April 2021

“Fabulous and well located cottage.”

It's very warm n homely and a view that's just breathtaking. My only issue was the steep inclines down to the beach n then back to the cottage but then I'm from the south n we don't have these! You'd get quite fit. The surrounding locations are all lovely. You have the best of both worlds with coastline n moors. Just a fab location. I best mention they do great fish n chips!!

- Debbie, April 2021
Heather April 2021

“This is a fabulous cottage for families wanting to explore this amazing part of the country!”

! The cottage has been done up since the photos - a new kitchen with a dishwasher! The kitchen has loads of facilities and is open plan with the living room so it’s great for the whole family. There is a big garden, gorgeous decking area and a summer house for the kids. It is very clean and well kept - much better than expected. The cottage is round the corner from 2 pubs - one with an amazing beer garden with views over the bay. The centre of the bay is a 10 min walk, there is a post office/ shop with good supplies a 2 min walk away. We were blessed with amazing weather for April and really loved our stay at Heather Croft - we would highly recommend it and hope to come back

- Heather, April 2021
Andrew October 2020

Colin September 2020

“I have been to Robin hoods bay many times.”

I booked Heather Croft for mums 75th birthday. I took here around the East coast to show her the beautiful views and bays. She was delighted with Heather Croft and her holiday. Thank you Karen and all at Sykes.

- Colin, September 2020
David September 2020

“Heather Croft is by far the nicest cottage we have stayed in.”

Although it looks quite small from the front view it is surprisingly roomy inside. Everything was clean and modern and the views from the cottage over Robin Hoods Bay to Ravenscar were superb and far exceeded our expectations.

- David, September 2020
Janet March 2020

“A beautiful cottage in a fantastic location, ideally located for walking the Cleveland Way to Whitby and Ravenscar and beyond.”

- Janet, March 2020
Sheila March 2020

“Cottage was lovely.”

Well equipped and fantastic view out to sea from the decking. It's a good hike, all up hill, back from the beach. We did have a problem... the boiler kept going out but the owner couldn't have done more to rectify the situation. We'd definitely stay here again.

- Sheila, March 2020
Gwen February 2020

“Instructions on how to work appliances would be useful and a TV with more than just main BBC and itv channels”

- Gwen, February 2020

- Mike, September 2019
Kathleen September 2019

“Very expensive for one night stay.”

Lovely location and garden. Very bad smell in downstairs bathroom. Noisy freezer in kitchen, heard in living room.

- Kathleen, September 2019
Carl July 2019

“Excellent holiday cottage, great location with a beautiful view.”

Very spacious property, lots of kitchen stuff, books and games. Onsite parking is very useful. Its the second time we have stayed at this cottage and would stay again! Only negative: could do with little update and maintenance (upstairs toilet door doesn't lock, window frames and decking looking a bit tired). But as mentioned would stay again, no problem!

- Carl, July 2019
Talia July 2019

“Absolutely fantastic brilliant cottage couldn’t ask for anything better.”

would defiantly book again

- Talia, July 2019
Ruth June 2019

“We would just like to say how very much we enjoyed ourselves last week at Heather Croft.”

It is a lovely, well equipped, comfortable, deceptively spacious and well positioned cottage with superb views across the bay, and we hope to stay there again soon.

- Ruth, June 2019
Julie June 2019

Overlooking the bay, the cottage is situated in an ideal spot for travelling to Whitby and Scarborough. There are some lovely walks in the area too. We thoroughly enjoyed our time ar Heather Croft.

- Julie, June 2019

- Julie, April 2019
Max March 2019

“Heating arrangements not very good.”

place needs a bit of a make over.

- Max, March 2019
Gwen February 2019

“Bit of a Tardis this, looks small on the outside but is quite large on the inside.”

three bedrooms one down stairs two up stairs with shower/toilet room up and bath/toilet room down so ideal for families. Some jigsaw puzzles and games for children and adults to play and some good books to read if the weather is nasty however it was beautiful while we were there . Small but ample garden at rear for kids to play in plus decking area for nice weather and play shed as well. Be prepared for a difficult walk down to the harbour and back as the way is very steep ok if you take your time , exhausting if you try to rush. It would be a profitable idea if someone local had some kind of transport for taking people up and down the hill to the harbour/village for a small fee I think it would be very popular. All in all a great place i would recommend it.

- Gwen, February 2019
Daniel April 2018

“The cottage is a lovely and well suited for a quiet get away.”

There’s also quite a large grassed garden which is not shown on the pictures. There’s a large supermarket only 4 miles away. Would happily stay here again.

- Daniel, April 2018
Judith March 2018

“The cottage was good value for money and the main strength was the wonderful view from the living room and kitchen.”

We even sat on the decking once! It is spacious in terms of living accommodation and reasonably well equipped. The upstairs shower room is small and there is nowhere to put toiletries ( a shelf would help). There is more room in the downstairs bathroom , but a second shower over the bath would be a real bonus! The beds are fine and there is plenty of storage. The cooker is old and would benefit from an upgrade. Unfortunately the kitchen wasn't very clean when we arrived, but the owner was very quick to offer to remedy that. More tea towels would be nice. This is a beautiful area with excellent pubs and restaurants.

- Judith, March 2018
Martin January 2018

“A few minor repairs needed.”

Toilet flush in downstairs loo. Light switch in downstairs bedroom. New peice of hosepipe so that you can wash your car. Nothing major that would stop me booking again. We love this cottage and the owner is very helpful if you need anything.

- Martin, January 2018
Jane March 2017

“These days with people travelling from abroad I was surprised that there was no towels, hand and tea but no bath.”

We had to go out and buy some. It seemed strange because everything else was provided. All together a lovely stay.

- Jane, March 2017

- Ruth, December 2015
Marcia September 2015

“The location, views and privacy of this cottage were all excellent.”

The rooms were spacious and the decoration and furnishings were to a very high standard. The kitchen utensils/equipment were more than adequate for our needs. Another good thing was having a parking area on the drive for 2 cars. We would recommend this property to anyone wanting to stay in Robin Hood's Bay.

- Marcia, September 2015
Gary June 2015

“Everything was lovely.”

We were very pleased and would recommend Heather Croft to friends and family.

- Gary, June 2015
Helen May 2015

“Heather Croft was all we could have wanted and more.”

The cottage was a delightfully spacious place with a good view of the bay. We enjoyed the local eateries, walks, sheep at the bottom of the garden and bats at night. Not forgetting the variety of birds who visited every day. It is well located for visits to Scarborough, Whitby, Staithes and of course Grosmont is a lovely place to visit and explore.

- Helen, May 2015

“This was our third visit to Heather Croft.”

It offers everything we need and is in a wonderful position, with views over the rooftops down to the sea. It is a very warm, comfortable property and has a lovely relaxed feel to it. The added bonus is that it has its own parking, which is rare in Robin Hood's Bay.

Its location is great - super views and perfectly placed for touring around the area. The owner popped over to introduce herself and to ask if everything was OK, which was nice. It was Goth weekends in Whitby, which added extra interest to our holiday.

- Dianne, October 2011
Michelle September 2011

“The view from the cottage was lovely and there was a playhouse in the garden that my 2 year old loved and there was toys for her too.”

“The property was superb.”

The view was as described, the owner was very helpful, the position for the area was excellent - not very far to travel to Whitby, Scarborough, Heartbeat Country or the Yorkshire Moors. It also helped that we had a good week and spent quite a lot of time on the balcony, which was lovely.

Gaye June 2005

“The cottage was excellent, especially with having small children and enjoying eating out on the decking.”

Excellent value for money and we will definitly be going back again. We will be recommending the cottage to family and friends. Lots to do in the area and a excellent pub (Victoria Hotel) in Robin Hoods bay which serves excellent food, large portions and great value for money. Most visit Filey,Whitby and Goathland (where heartbeat is filmed).

- Gaye, June 2005

The immaculate living accommodation is open plan giving the property a light and airy feel, whilst the full oil central heating ensures that the cottage is warm and welcoming in all seasons.

A particular feature are the French doors from both kitchen and sitting room which lead onto a balcony/decking area with lovely views over open countryside to the coast beyond.

The perfect place for a relaxing holiday on the Yorkshire Coast - a delightful property in a superb location!

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.
