November 2024

“The property ticked all the boxes & was exactly as advertised, spotlessly clean, very homely, warm & very comfortable.”

You couldn’t ask for anymore. Dan was always around, he really was the super host. Such a lovely guy. The welcome goodies were a lovely touch too. Our little poodles loved the paddock running around. We had an amazing week and will definitely be returning. Thanks Dan you should be proud of your holiday cottage’s. Elaine & John

- Elaine, November 2024

Hi Elaine and John. Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It was a real pleasure to meet you both and I look forward to seeing you again soon. Sorry for the short reply but I keep losing (rather…Sykes website) the majority of my responses. You get a big thumbs up from me and the furballs Property Owner
Elizabeth October 2024

“A wonderful stay in a beautiful property.”

Excellent WiFi, comfortable beds and spotlessly clean.

- Elizabeth, October 2024

Hi Elizabeth. Quick reply because my responses keep disappearing. Lovely to meet you guys and a pleasure to have you stay. Thank you Property Owner
Tracy October 2024

“Another great stay at this fabulous cottage.”

It really is a lovely place to stay if you love the moors and the beautiful North Yorkshire coast. Welcoming and so cosy, with everything you need in the kitchen. Comfortable bed and plenty of soft towels. Dan is always around if you need anything or fancy a chat. Paddock is enclosed and safe for your furry friend. Can’t wait to go back. It really feels like home from home. Thank you Dan.

- Tracy, October 2024

Really great to see you guys again and thank you for leaving the cottage so clean and tidy. I’m keeping my response short at the moment as the ends seem to keep disappearing into the ether-net somewhere Property Owner
Tracey October 2024

“Such a fantastic holiday the accommodation was clean, bright comfy with everything you need.”

The bed was soooo comfortable. Our dog woody loved the paddock for a run around. Loved it so much already booked to go back in February!!

- Tracey, October 2024

Hey guys. Just a quick response while I remember. Gotta full afternoon so don’t want to forget it later (ANOTHER edit :- SYKES where are the rest of my responses disappearing to???) Sykes seems to be allowing full responses again. Not much to add but just to say thank you so much for your custom and looking forward to seeing you again next year. Take care until then. All the best from Dan Property Owner
Wendy September 2024

“Wow, what can I say.”

Beautifully fitted out cottage, high quality furniture and fittings.Everything you could think of was there. So comfy.very central for scarborough, whitby, Robin hoods bay. Highly recommended. Great welcome pack much appreciated. Great views. Lovely well kept paddock for our dog. He loved it.

- Wendy, September 2024

It really was a pleasure to meet you both and I really do hope to see you again. Still not going to get a charger though (edit:- not sure where the rest of my response disappeared to from the end of this). Seems Sykes are allowing me to type full responses again Property Owner
Vicky September 2024

“What a little gem, Dan has done a fantastic job fitting out this property he was also a great host.”

Cottage is in a great location to explore Scarborough Whitby Robin hood bay and many more. We stayed end of September for a week with Skye our dog the paddock at the back was great for skye to run around. Would highly recommend ps One of the most comfortable beds we've ever slept in. Thank-you Dan

- Vicky, September 2024

Hey there you guys. I’m so happy that you enjoyed your stay here in Snainton. It was great to meet you both and Skye. Hope to maybe see you again sometime. P.s. next time if you come again the cottage should have been redecorated as planned. And I’ve bought some new knives for the cottages that came with their own sharpening sheaths. And someone else asked me about charging electric vehicles after you had. I’m presently trying to figure out a fair way of allowing guests to charge up (if they have a charger that will connect to the mains). So now you’ve no excuse not to visit again Property Owner
Julie September 2024

“We had a lovely holiday.”

Upstairs downstairs is a great cottage in a good position to explore both the coast and the moors. Everything was as expected and the welcome goodies were exceptional . The cottage was spotless with a lovely comfy bed and big fluffy towels. Dan is a great host and Bob the cat was very friendly.

- Julie, September 2024

It was so great to see you both again and I’m so glad that you both enjoyed another stay here in Yorkshire. It was a pleasure having you to stay. Perfect guests! And as always I can’t overstate how much I appreciate how spotlessly clean you had left the cottage. It really does make my life that little easier on a Friday changeover after a busy week of work. I didn’t even find any black and white fluff from Bob to hoover up! All the very best to you and thank you so much for your custom and great review. Danza, Bob, Dave and Charlie boy Property Owner
Marie August 2024

“Loved everything about this cottage.”

So well maintained and very clean. Beds extremely comfy. Lovely powerful shower, plenty of hot water. One of the nicest cottages we have ever stayed in. My dog was happy running free in the enclosed paddock, something she rarely gets to do. Would definitely recommend this wonderful cottage.

- Marie, August 2024

Thank you so much for your lovely review Marie. It was great having you and your husband to stay and a massive thank you for leaving the cottage so clean…it made my life that much easier cleaning yesterday what with everything else I have going on personally at the moment. I even had time to rig up the new WiFi system! I hope you both might come back to stay again sometime. All the best to you from Dan and the 3 little furry monsters. Property Owner
John August 2024

“Absolutely brilliant property, really comfortable and ideally situated for coast and moors.”

- John, August 2024

Absolutely brilliant guests. No trouble whatsoever and the cottage was immaculate when I came to do the changeover. I’m so glad you liked it and enjoyed your stay John. You’re welcome back anytime. P.s. I’ve bitten the bullet and spent more money to upgrade the WiFi…my god this better work or I’ll be spitting feathers Property Owner
Adam July 2024

“Wonderful little cottage in a quiet little village.”

Everything that you would need for your base in the gorgeous east coast. Comfortable, cosy and compact. Would definitely recommend and hopefully we'll be back!

- Adam, July 2024

Really glad you all enjoyed your stay in the cottage. It was a pleasure to have you stay and you’re welcome back anytime you like. Perhaps if you come again Dave might even say hello next time. I’m sure Bobdobalina will definitely come over to see you again Property Owner
Hannah June 2024

“It was absolutely fantastic, such a lovely cottage.”

There were lots to do and see. The owner Dan is lovely and welcoming. The cottage itself was great, lots of character and furnished really well. The small touches like tea, coffee, fruit and complimentary wine was lovely… even milk in the fridge. Our son and dog loved the garden and was plenty of room to kick a ball about. We have nothing but praise for our lovely holiday and we will be coming back… Thank you Dan, it was wonderful!!!!

- Hannah, June 2024

It was a real pleasure to meet you all and a joy to have you stay. I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay here in North Yorkshire. Really looking forward to seeing you again next year when hopefully the weather may be a bit better so your son can play a bit more football down the garden. Thank you so much for your kind review. It is always the best reward for the work we do to try and make sure our guests have the best possible stay. Thank you Property Owner
Andy June 2024

“The cottage is beautifully designed and Dan has done a fantastic job of not only saving an old building but making it really quite special.”

His passion for it's restoration may have been long, and perhaps difficult, but it is something of a work of art. From the beautifully neat exterior you enter a nicely presented reception area with a beautifully designed spiral staircase, all very cleverly fitted to make the most of the space and leading to the upstairs living area. The kitchen is contemporary with lovely, quality, wooden worktops, presumably all locally made. We love cooking and it was fantastic to find every possible utensil (except one!) available and we thoroughly enjoyed working there as much as we enjoyed relaxing in the sitting room. And talking of relaxing, the bath, and bathroom, are wonderful too - warm and welcoming and plenty of towels and even flannels. The bed is amazingly comfortable, only a double but allowing plenty of space around it so you don't feel hemmed in. The garden is lovely and compact with a couple of seating areas perfect for catching the sun and keeping out of the breeze, whilst giving a bit of privacy. I was especially impressed with the clever design and spacing of the hedging - who's idea was that?! It works so well in what is quite a compact space. And then there's the communal garden with its lovely views across the fields and paddocks towards the hills of which, incidentally, you get an equally great view from the living area of the cottage. Finally (phew, I hear you sigh) the welcome both from Dan himself, and from the nice array of goodies provided, was just just perfect, all very thoughtfully done and beautifully presented. Thank you for making us feel so welcome in your lovely little cottage. Andy and Laura

- Andy, June 2024

Wow. What an absolutely amazing review. I’m blown away by that. Thank you so much. I’m not sure I could even come close to expressing in words how rewarding it feels to have such a great response. But make no mistake about it. I’m honoured that you have liked it here so much and it gives me such satisfaction to know that the work we put in is appreciated. See…I’m struggling to find a way to express my deep gratitude! Try simple Daniel! THAT WAS THE BEST REVIEW ANYONE HAS EVER GIVEN ME. You guys are most welcome anytime and I really hope to see you again. All the best from Dan and the furry trio. D Property Owner
Sally April 2024

“We had such a lovely stay, such luxury and high quality to the cottage.”

Absolutely every was top notch, all we had to do was take our clothes and food, everything else was taken care of, snacks, tea and coffee, cookies, wine etc. bedding was brilliant, slept like a baby, honestly, better than at home. The idea of the parking disc is amazing and we definitely used it. The paddock is great for taking the dog to, she (Poppy) our dog could run freely. Great views, great location and what more can we say. We’re hoping to go again soon. Dan is a very lovely warm hearted guy, thank you ☺️

- Sally, April 2024

Hi guys! You made it home safely (hopefully in plenty of time for the parents meeting). So, so happy to hear that you both enjoyed your stay here in the wind and rain lashed North. It was a pleasure meeting you and I really do hope you consider visiting again. By the sounds of it you went to quite a few places while you were here but I’m sure that there’s a few more little hidden gems and secret spots I could recommend. North Yorkshire is a beautiful, beautiful place in the summer and there’s so much to do and see. Anyhow. Thank you so much for your kind comments and being so nice. Take good care of yourselves and all the best from Dan and the family. Property Owner
Tracy March 2024

“Just returned from a lovely stay at Upstairs Downstairs Cottage.”

Everything was pretty perfect, very clean cosy warm and welcoming. Ideally situated for the moors and the coast. Great to have the paddock for our little dog. A lot of thought has gone into this beautiful cottage which makes for a comfortable stay. Thank you Dan we loved it and we will definitely be back.

- Tracy, March 2024

Hi Tracy. Just a say noticed your great review of Snainton and the surrounding area. It’s always so nice to hear people have enjoyed their break away here and makes me feel so grateful to have such nice people come to stay and filled with pride that the work it takes to manage and run the holiday cottages is appreciated. Thank you for being such great guests. You’re welcome to come back anytime. From Dan and the 3 troublemakers Property Owner
Allison February 2024

“This is certainly one of the best properties we have stayed in.”

A quiet location but ideal for getting out and about. It was impeccably clean and of a high standard both inside and outside. The owner was available and very helpful but as we had everything we needed, there was no need to contact him.

- Allison, February 2024

Hi Allison, so sorry I didn’t actually get to meet you all. Had a crazy old weekend and not a moment to spare. I’m really glad you all enjoyed your stay and I wanted to thank you for stripping the beds leaving the towels in the bath etc. I really appreciate that little bit of help from guests because it just makes it a little easier when I’m cleaning them ready for the next guests. Hopefully you might come again sometime and I might actually get to meet you. All the best and thank you again. Dan Property Owner
Dylan January 2024

“Perfect. The best accommodation we have stayed in with our baby!”

Dan was a great host and and the cottage is amazing!

- Dylan, January 2024

Hi guys. Just to say a massive thank you from me for leaving such a great review. I’m always happy to hear that guests have had a lovely stay. It really was a pleasure to meet you all. You were a lovely family. I also want to say a massive thank you for leaving the cottage so clean and tidy too. (Made my Friday cleaning much easier and helped me finish a bit earlier so I could get home to my family before 6pm which made a nice change). Take care and all the very best from Dan and the 3 mogz Property Owner
Jason-lee December 2023

“Had a lovely time staying in this beautiful cottage for the week, thank you for hosting us.”

The little details like the chocolate on the kid's bed were kind, and they loved it! (even though they didn't sleep). Would love to revisit one day. Jas

- Jason-lee, December 2023

Cheers Jas. Glad you all enjoyed your stay. It was a pleasure to meet you all. Hope you have a great Christmas together and that the new year is happy and fruitful for you. D Property Owner
Kate October 2023

“A really lovely cottage.”

Dan is a thoughtful host and we fet at home from the moment we arrived. A great base from which to see the area. We are already planning our next visit. Thank you for a wonderful week.

- Kate, October 2023

It was lovely to have you come to stay in Snainton. Just sorry that I didn’t see much more of you (due to me and my wretched back). I really do hope that you come back for another visit next year during the summer when the sun is shining. Hopefully the young man might have shot up a few inches and he might be big enough for a ride around on the bike. He might even enjoy a trip to watch the motorbike racing at Oliver’s Mount which happens 4 times a year? That’s a good full day’s entertainment for a fairly reasonable price. Hope you all made it home safely. It was really good to meet you all. Take care and hopefully I’ll see you again (and perhaps the grandparents too) next year. All the best from Dan, Charlie, Bob and Dave. Property Owner
Kerry October 2023

“Upstairs downstairs cottage is a fantastic place to stay, both for access to the coast and the country.”

It was clean, cosy and warm. We would definitely stay there again.

- Kerry, October 2023

It was a pleasure having you all to stay and I’m so glad you liked it here in Snainton too. Hope you got home safely and that the rain has stopped in Sheffield. I must say a really huge thank you to you all for leaving the cottage so clean too. It is so, so very much appreciated when guests look after the place. You’re welcome back anytime. Take good care of yourselves and all the best from Dan, Charlie, Bob and Dave Property Owner

“A wonderful place to stay.”

Close to all surrounding of Yorkshire and a short drive to Scarborough. Overall a cosy, chilled environment which I would gladly want to stay again when I do come back.

- Aaron, October 2023
Chris September 2023

“This cottage is one of the best we have stayed in ( for comfort and features).”

When we arrived there were welcoming features (milk, tea, fruit, biscuits and more. This effort from the owner (Daniel) and family made our holiday, he was very accommodating, friendly. We would certainly recommend a second visit even a third.

- Chris, September 2023

It was a pleasure to meet you Chris and Judy too. I really enjoyed meeting you both and I’m very glad that you both enjoyed your stay here in Snainton. You are both welcome back anytime you want. Thank you so much for your excellent feedback on the property (and my own hosting skills). It means so much. And thank you both too for leaving the cottage so tidy and clean when you checked out.

Trevor June 2023

“Great Holiday, Great Cottage, Great Host, Great Village and Residents.”

The cottage was up there with the best, Every thing you need for a supper holiday. The little extras on arrival were vary much appreciated, ( and Dan the Bottle of red was great the girls only drink white guess who had the whole bottle) Amenities were spot on, good off road parking, out door laundry facility’s and a large paddock for Louie to chase his ball. Dan the owner, top man very pleasant, helpful and nothing was to much trouble. His knowledge of the area and where to eat was so helpful, Thanks Dan. I must mention the village of Snainton, great chippy less than a minute away from the cottage. The pheasant public house 300yrds approx up the road was 1st class reasonable and made us feel like locals, that included Louie, with his treat and bowl of water, and finally we found the village a very friendly place. Once again Dan thanks for making our holiday GREAT. Trev.Liz,Linda and Louie the Cockerpoo.

- Trevor, June 2023

“Great property and lovely welcome touches after a long journey.”

Would definitely stay here again. Bed was amazing.

- Jackie, June 2023

Hi again Jackie. Thank you for your kind comments and for coming to stay here in sunny Snainton. Glad you liked the bed.

Nope…I don’t receive a commission!!! Hopefully might see you again sometime? All the best and thanks again. Dan Property Owner
Rob May 2023

“A beautiful cottage.”

We chose it for its location and to experience upstairs downstairs living. Everything we could have needed was there to help us enjoy our stay. It felt homely and welcoming. The paddock was a great bonus to let the dog run free and get a shock when he discovered horses over the wall. Dan the owner was on hand, really friendly and welcoming with so much local knowledge. I would highly recommend a stay here and hope to go back again soon.

- Rob, May 2023

It was really great to meet you both and a pleasure having you stay. I’m really glad you enjoyed your stay and you’re welcome back anytime. Thank you so much for your kind words and compliments. It really does mean so much. All the best to you. From Dan and the 3 furrys Property Owner

Hiyer guys. It was a treat to have you stay. I’m really glad that you all enjoyed it. It’s the best part of running holiday cottages…I get to meet amazing people like you. It really was a pleasure to meet yourself Natalie, Dave and your beautiful little lass (she cheered up my day with her cheeky little smile and rosey cheeks). Big hello to your mum and dad too. I have to also say thank you. I couldn’t believe how clean you left the cottage especially with having a toddler (you’d expect at least one or two sticky marks but nope! Nowt. It was immaculate. You are welcome back anytime. Dave if you do and your legs a bit better bring your crosser gear and we’ll head over to the track so you can have a ride. Bikes rule! Take care guys and thanks again.

“We had a lovely stay at the upstairs downstairs cottage.”

The cottage is in a village with a pub in walking distance and a great chippie next door. Easy driving access to Whitby and Scarborough. The cottage was spotlessly clean and the owner Dan is a great guy and couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful.

- Sarah, July 2021

Hi Sarah. I’m utterly ashamed that I’ve only just got around to thanking you profusely for all the great things you fed back.

Rosemarie September 2020

“We enjoyed this immensely.”

Very comfy and spotless. The owner was very friendly and knowledgeable gave good advice and information which was really helpful. We were close to Scarborough Filey and Pickering. And pubs short distance away. Fish and chips thirty yards away and delicious and a little shop selling most things. Outside was a manicured hedge and big garden well cultured. The cottage was just behind main road so advice of keeping dogs on leads is a definite. Would be happy to recommend to anyone to this cottage.

- Rosemarie, September 2020

Hiyer Rosemary. Hope you didn’t expect a quick response to your lovely comments. I’m a busy man dinchya now Property Owner
Jodie September 2020

“Absolutely loved it!”

We stayed on a short weekend mtb break and the cottage was more than what we expected, we kept our bikes safe and sound in the washroom outhouse, Dan the owner was so welcoming and was keen to tell us the best places to go for what we wanted (Thankyou so much Dan for a great stay!) we felt right at home in the cottage! Gorgeous modern decor with a cottage vibe, it had everything we needed for self catering! Fish shop just on the main road not even 1 minute walk and a supermarket 7miles away! We will definitely be back for another stay so we can discover more of Dalby forest

- Jodie, September 2020
Christine September 2020

We have previously stayed in the one bedroom cottage next door and both of them have been finished to a very high standard. Dan is a lovely man and congratulations to him for providing the best dog friendly accommodation we have ever stayed in. The Christmas decorations wine and chocolates were a lovely touch. We would have no hesitation in recommending either of these cottages.

PITY THE WEATHER WAS NOT AS GOOD

“Cottage position, layout and secure large paddock for use with our dog was great.”

Comfy bed, great bathroom and spotlessly clean throughout. Great open plan living area. Minor moans, the cooker hood and workspace positions. The cottage is upside down living space includes quite a bit of the roof slope. Add in a cooker hood canopy with glass hood perfectly at eye level, whilst cooking or preparing food I constantly banged my head or my eye! Then saucepans struggled to cook 2 veg and potatoes on a Sunday lunch. Final little moan , no cleaning materials, like hob cleaner for the glass electric hob, shower or bath cleaner, these would have helped and did not feel inclined to go,and buy them! Overall though we would return just with a crash hat for when preparing food and cooking!

Angela July 2018

“This cottage was a real find.”

I cannot believe how clean it is! It's just great, so comfortable Dan has thought of everything. We loved it, the location was excellent, within striking distance of most everything - coast, forest, scenic drives, views, really good fish & chips (next door), local Shop (all of two minutes walk) which was excellent e.g. my favourite wine at £3 less than a supermarket I use at home. On our first day they actually put some out the back for me. And such friendly people both there and in the village. Bus stop about 1 minute away either direction and if you are lucky you will pick up en-route some fresh produce, raspberries, green beans and blackcurrants being sold outside a house but be quick, they go fast! The cottage backs onto paddocks and we were very lucky to attend the Stables open event on Sunday, great fun, and we enjoyed seeing the foal each morning. Lovely garden facility and again Dan has thoughtfully provided rustic tables and chairs for guests. Neither of us are particularly cat lovers but the two resident cats had me eating out of their paws, hello Spikey and Norman. And as for Dan, well he's one of life's characters! Thanks Dan - your cottage is lovely!

- Angela, July 2018
Mel May 2018

“Gorgeous area.”

Not an ideal cottage for families with small children as stairs are quite steep and open to falls. Good for older ones but very low walls / extracted fan on oven - hit my head countless number of times. Gorgeous garden to rear of property though you need to keep checking for dog poo - had a few accidents in children’s footwear. Also falling piece of wood from Window which narrowly missed my daughters head. Apart from these few issues it was nice and comfy.

- Mel, May 2018

“This is a brilliant property in a brilliant location and perfect for families relaxing.”

Dan the owner is very polite and always on hand for any support or advice. This is our second visit to this property and we just love it. Great location to escape and enjoy a relaxing break. Fish and chip shop next door is outstanding and we visited the local golf centre which also provided foot golf which the kids just loved. We also visited Alphamere Swimming Pool in Scarborough, wow what an experience. The outdoor pool was just like having a hot bath!! Fantastic. We will certainly be visiting again. Thank You Sykes.
