November 2024

“After a long journey up from Kent it was a joy on entering the property to discover a very handy welcome pack, flowers and a lit side light in the warm sitting room.”

The cottage is very cosy, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Plenty of local information provided to help you plan your days out. Large car parking area so easy to unload and load right by the front door. We visited Whitby, York and Harrogate for an exhibition but the weather turned wintry so we were unable to complete our wish list of things to do. An excuse to return again one day! Many thanks to Margaret for making our stay so memorable.

“This cottage has a beautiful peaceful location , ideal for people who would enjoy a quiet break away from noisy traffic and the hustle and bustle of daily life.”

It appeared to have enjoyed a recent refurbishment as the carpets, and decor appeared untouched by wear and tear from frequent comings and goings. The cupboards were full of everything one could need . and the welcome hamper was a lovely thoughtful gesture . The stay felt like being home from home ;very comfortable and warm... The only point for criticism could be that we found the wash basin in the bathroom quite small and inadequate for say washing one's face.. We would definitely enjoy a return visit some time as we truly enjoyed the comfort ,peace and the pretty location.

The Piggery has comfort home from home with every household item you would require.The owner Mrs Wilson is extremely welcoming and the hamper she leaves is superb.It is only a 10 minute drive into Whitby and there are many things to do and see.We recommend the Magpie cafe And Trenchers if you decide to eat out the food is top notch.

Robert June 2021

“The cottage was very clean and attention had been payed to ensure that it was covid safe.”

The Piggery is a very comfortable cottage and is well located for access to both the countryside and the coast, no wonder it is popular all year round.The welcome pack that was provided is outstanding, so a big thanks for that.We had a great time staying there for the week and where able to explore the area, mainly by car but there are a number of walks that could be started from the cottage itself and also by short drives.

- Robert, June 2021
Andrew May 2021

“We really enjoyed our stay at The Piggery and would highly recommend it.”

We would definitely like to stay again sometime. The one issue to mention is that the sofa is a little tired and the support is not what it once was and therefore not that comfortable to use. Good communication with the owner.

- Andrew, May 2021
John May 2021

Good, quiet location with easy access to local facilities and attractions, but a bit dated and in need of a facelift. Also cleaning standards left a little to be desired.

Carolyn September 2020

“I booked a cottage at the last minute,3 days before we were due to arrive.”

I had no confirmation e mail or phone or any contact number for the owner. The owner phoned me late the evening before we had booked as she had not heard from us. I phoned Sykes office the next morning to say I had no communication from yourselves, was put on hold for 15 mins then hung up in frustration. Had to phone the owner for directions etc. I feel an e mail with all the relevant information should have been sent to me from you. Owner was lovely and the cottage was fantastic. Very disappointed with your office

- Carolyn, September 2020
William John September 2020

- William John, September 2020
Paticia August 2020

“What a superb little cottage in a lovely location.”

We had no concerns about any covid19 risk as the cottage was spotless and every precaution had and was being taken. Very handy for many attractions both coastal and inland although both Whitby and Scarborough were too crowded for the current situation we are in. Hope to return in more "normal" times.

- Paticia, August 2020

Nicola November 2019

“On arrival at the Piggery it was situated in a lovely quiet spot and was warm and cosy and felt very homely.”

Mrs Wilson had provided one of the best welcome packs we have had since staying at different properties with Sykes Cottages. Mrs Wilson was both friendly and helpful to us regarding collection of the key and also when we needed to contact her at the beginning of our stay. The Piggery was very clean and nicely furnished and the kitchen had every utensil you could wish for and you could not have wanted for any other household item as it was all provided, which was really appreciated. We felt that a lot of thought and care has gone into making sure the Piggery provides a comfortable, relaxing and fully equipped base from which to enjoy your holiday. This certainly was the experience we had and would definitely stay there again. Many thanks to Mrs Wilson.

- Nicola, November 2019

Suzanne March 2019

“Lovely, well equipped, clean cottage in a quiet rural location.”

Amazing views over the countryside out towards the coast. Great spot for bird watching, although the woodpecker was a bit elusive (could be heard but not seen!). Deer grazing in the field opposite every morning. We only spent 3 days here - wish we'd stayed a week as we didn't want to go home, despite the change in the weather. The welcome pack was very generous and the fresh flowers left in the lounge a lovely touch. Would definitely recommend this cottage.

- Suzanne, March 2019
Marianne March 2019

“A gem of a property where you can catch sight of roe deer and hares and hear the toot of an owl very close to the cottage.”

“The piggery is a luxurious charming cottage in a lovely picturesque location with great views and peace and quiet.”

Plenty to do around Whitby, including a beautiful waterfall "Falling Foss" and tea room only 2 miles south of the cottage. North York Moors Railway Steam Gala was a great day out.

Mike July 2018

“This property is only suitable for 3 adults or 2 adults and one child.”

It is 4 miles from Whitby and in the back of beyond which is not for everybody and bear in mind there are 4 substantial up/down roads to get here. Personally I think the location/ facilities are second to none.

- Mike, July 2018
Jayne July 2018

The location is fabulous for visiting that part of North Yorkshire. Just wonderful.

- Jayne, July 2018
Gary June 2018

“Thanks to Mrs Wilson wonderful holiday again.”

- Gary, June 2018
Elaine June 2018

“This cottage was absolute perfection, very clean and the amount of extras were amazing.”

Mrs Wilson had not only filled a welcome basket with free range eggs, tea, coffee and cakes but also left 2 vases of fresh flowers and all sorts of lovely extras like tooth brushes, shower buffer and mouth wash plus every type of cleaning product you could wish for in the kitchen and lounge. Very good kitchen utensils and a range of pots and pans, we couldn't get to grips with the washing machine however. We especially loved sitting on the patio with a glass of wine/tea/coffee/cider and admired a stunning scenery, it was very helpful that Sykes had arranged brilliant weather for our stay!!! The only drawback was that it was a way out of the village for walking to the local pub and shops, very steep hills. We were able to get about via the local taxi service when we didn't want to drive ourselves. The local butchers was a gold mine and we came home with a freezer box full of beautiful meat locally sourced, absolutely wonderful selection. We visited Whitby, Scarborough, Robin Hoods Bay, Floss Falls and a few local villages and their facilities, our first time in the North Yorkshire area we are certain to return to The Piggery and explore further, all in all a wonderful holiday, thank you.

- Elaine, June 2018

The owner had thought of everything.

- Robert, April 2018

The owner makes you feel very welcome and is only a phone call away if you have any problems. The welcome pack in the Piggery is the best we have come across. We will return!

“It was a lovely surprise when we first arrived, it was "WOW," the photo's on the web do not do it justice.”

The weather for us was not perfect but The Piggery certainly was. It was spotlessly clean, comfortable and with exceptional quality furnishings etc. A truly well loved cottage and a credit to the owners attention to detail. We will recommend to all and return ourselves.
