“The farmhouse was booked for my wife’s 60th birthday celebrations, she wanted to celebrate with her family.”

Everything about the farmhouse was superb and everybody was impressed with it

“We couldn’t fault the cottage, it was near enough perfect, the only thing to let i5 down was the shower in the first bedroom.”

It had no power and came out as a dribble either freezing cold or scalding hot, hopefully this can be rectified and then the cottage will get 10/10 and a 5 star rating.

- Pat, November 2024
Jo-anne November 2024

“Lovely property, great spot just outside of town but close enough to walk in.”

Really cosy and a fantastic price. We would definitely stay again

“Lovely home, very spacious and comfortable, very clean, perfect spot to walk ...”

Lovely home, very spacious and comfortable, very clean, perfect spot to walk into whitby,and to walk along cinder track, if I had to pick on something, not enough hangers, by door for coats, in room for clothes, teatowels in kitchen and towels in the bathroom, but everything else was lovely,

“There was an immediate response to our telephone call upon arrival about the kettle not working and a new one was delivered to the door super quickly.”

Thank you! Unfortunately, the shower in the family bathroom had an issue with temperature control. We could not use it at all for the duration of our stay as my son burned himself on the first night when the water was so hot. Every single person in our party attempted to adjust the temperature but it just would not move from very hot. Otherwise, the bath was great as were the other two showers. The bed in the master (where the fireplace is) was super comfortable and I slept very well (I often don't!). The living area sofas were extremely comfortable and easy to relax on. Loved the reading light as I am a bookworm. The only other thing I would mention is that the locks on the bathroom/toilet doors do not work and I hurt my finger on a nail on the banister repeatedly where it is jutting out. I had to hold on to the banister as the stairs are a bit steep which is how I managed to notice the nail. I also managed to sustain a cut to my palm because of the flaking metallic paint or whatever it was on the door handle on the outside of the front door when I locked it upon going out the first day. I would not typically describe myself as clumsy so maybe these minor things just need a quick tweak? All in all, a great location, lovely cool fresh air, amazing scenery, and the perfect type of layout for the dogs. The kitchen was well equipped and we used the washing machine a fair bit! We rent somewhere for a week every summer and it is interesting that some kitchens aren't equipped well enough for cooking and sometimes there aren't things like a washing line and pegs, so for our particular needs, this farmhouse was very good! I think the holiday property was very good value for money.

Kevin March 2024

“Wonderful, comfortable property.”

Superb position for access to the Cinder Track. Car parking was a bit tight for 2 cars. Hopefully will return in the future.

- Kevin, March 2024
James Andrew December 2023

“Absolutely fantastic.”

We had a family Christmas break. The kitchen facilities for preparing food was brilliant. The spacious kitchen diner and living room area was brilliant. Close to all amenities and beautiful walks. Very friendly pubs in walking distance. Definitely booking again. We had a superb time.

- James Andrew, December 2023
Alison September 2023

“A great property for a family group and several dogs.”

- Alison, September 2023
Fiona September 2023

“Farmhouse was clean, beds comfortable, plenty of hot water, good position with a short ten minute walk into Whitby.”

Unfortunately, it had rather an unkempt feeling. Patio had not been swept and had cigarette ends. Garden area clearly hadn’t been tended for a long time and was full of weeds, though someone planted a few pansies in a tub while we were there. The recycling bin was full when we arrived. No outside lighting at the front door so if you arrive at night you will need a torch. Equally no at the back door where the recycling bins were. The main bathroom door didn’t lock or even shut properly. Downstairs loo didn’t lock either. The kitchen lacked a cafetière so we couldn’t make a decent coffee. No visitors book, or suggestion book. No local information either. Apparently, these were available if you download an app, but that’s not really the point. Disappointing property for the price charged.

- Fiona, September 2023
Kirsty August 2023

“Lovely spacious and spotlessly clean cottage which suited our multi- generational party perfectly.”

Bedrooms and bathrooms nicely furnished and clean/ fresh. Garden secure and great for our dog. Kitchen decently equipped for cooking, loads of fridge space and storage plus space for the dog bed. We didn’t use the wood burners but logs/ gloves supplied. 20 min walk to Whitby, 2 min drive to supermarket, and Parkrun right next door for sat morning!

- Kirsty, August 2023
Lisa July 2023

“Overall we had a lovely holiday but with just a few tweeks this cottage would be so much better.”

The garden needed tending the grass was left way too long and was cut the day before we left .The barbecue had not been cleaned . Downstairs is quite dark and dingey and could do with redecoration. Upstairs was fresh and brighter but some of the beds are very uncomfortable and could do with new mattresses. The garden furniture could do with an upgrade and the patio a good sweeping and weeding.

- Lisa, July 2023
Vivienne June 2023

“All in all a lovely weekend break with the whole family to celebrate a birthday.”

The farmhouse was ready on arrival.Very clean and homely. Our family were already placing Christmas trees in their heads and planning the turkey dinner in the farmhouse kitchen. A very spacious and comfortable home with bathrooms for all. The only very minor problem was the main bathroom door which had to be lifted to lock. Lovely enclosed garden for our two small dogs and a 10 minute walk to Whitby itself. Would fully recommend.

- Vivienne, June 2023
Chris May 2023

“An excellent cottage - felt spacious for 8.”

Good layout with plenty of different areas for people to relax. All equipment you would need is provided, along with plenty of storage space. Really handy location for walking into Whitby, and access to the Cinder Track. Owner was really helpful.

- Chris, May 2023
Linda May 2023

“The Cottage was very spacious and clean.”

the only problem we had was the patio could do we a sweep and clean, not nice to sit outside, also our first weekend there we has a group of youths camping in the field behind us they stayed until Sunday afternoon could not get pass them omn the Cinder track for them eating. Also the BBQ was not clean out and could not use. The cinder Track was a nice way of getting to Whirby without using the car, and also a Trip to Ruswarp is well worth a visit to the Jackson Butchers.

- Linda, May 2023
Hannah April 2023

“We had a lovely time at Airy cottage over Easter.”

The property was well located and we managed to do lots of different trails from the house and still be central enough to walk into Whitby. The dog bowls and towels that were provided were a lovely touch. The house was very clean, as were the bathrooms. We thought the kitchen could have been better equipped for the size of the properly but we do like to cook a lot. The en-suite shower in the small double we couldn’t get working properly, it was either really hot or very cold with little water pressure. We managed with using the other two bathrooms though.

- Hannah, April 2023
James Andrew March 2023

“The property was absolutely fantastic.”

Immaculate bedding and bathrooms. The outside facilities were fantastic too. We have booked for December too. It was a lovely touch having the dog bowls and towels provided thank you so much.

- James Andrew, March 2023
Marian February 2023

“A lovely cosy cottage with lots of room.”

Situated close to a sixth form college but this did not affect our privacy. We did not report it at the time but 2 of the outside lights did not work if you could bring this to the attention of the owner please In walking distance of Whitby (a steep hill on the way back!)

- Marian, February 2023
Kaz December 2022

“We had an absolutely wonderful family four generation Christmas!”

The house was big enough to house us all and still give us space not to be in top of each other. We spent quite a lot of time around the large table in the kitchen just like families used to do. Thank you so much for wonderful memories.

- Kaz, December 2022
Katie December 2022

“Really feel quite petty with this feed back but might be useful to future guests more toilet rolls one per loo didn't last long so tske a supply and beds weren't very comfortable but apart from that had a great time even though it was very icy.”

Would certainly recommend and in very easy walking distance to Whitby.

- Katie, December 2022
Shirley December 2022

“3rd time in this property.”

Very clean & spacious .everything you need for a family holiday. Only gripe was one of the beds has a very hard matress & not very comfortable. Apart from that it was perfect We had a lovely time & hopefully return again next year.

- Shirley, December 2022
Craig November 2022

“Ideal for 3 couples and location to whitby good.”

List of where to buy additional logs would be ideal. Good Value for money.

- Craig, November 2022

Thank you for your kind feedback. I add some information on places on where to buy logs - good idea! Property Owner
Karen November 2022

“Great place good location too”

- Karen, November 2022

Thank you - I'm glad you enjoyed it, Rebecca Property Owner
Lydia October 2022

“Excellent property and location.”

Front door did need two hands to unlock. Stairs were a bit steeper than expected. Property and surrounding walks were excellent for our dogs.

- Lydia, October 2022
John September 2022

“A very nice cottage, a large kitchen and table, and a large sitting room gave us plenty of space as did the bed rooms, its close to the cinder track with walks to next village and pub, also close to town, you can walk straight across main road or by the underpass, the school next door was very quiet when we were there.”

there are few things that the owner should be aware of as stated by other people the front door key or lock are badly worn and can take a lot of fiddling to it work, the dish washer needs a good clean as when we first used it it just took the dirt off the lower plates and put it back on the upper plates, after that we used it on the top setting which was better, the first bedroom ensuite shower leaks and the basin plug is broken, the bathroom door lower hinge is broken and you have to lift the door to lock and unlock it, this could leave a child trapped in. there are no toilet roll holders, and just a petty little thing someone has put the backdoor lock in the wrong way round.

- John, September 2022
Kim August 2022

“The Cottage was Spacious and had everything in we needed.”

It was located very close to school car park,and although this didn't cause us a problem,being there during school holidays,I think it could be more of an issue during term time.

- Kim, August 2022
Trevor July 2022

“Excellent situation - country walks 'from the doorstep', short walk to Whitby and supermarket within easy reach Good accommodation for our family of 8 incl.”

good clean bedrooms and en-suites, large sit-round kitchen table, large living-room BUT some things need to be checked by owners betwwen occupations:- On arrival, some crockery in cupboard was not clean & grill pan was dirty Several pieces of dog-dirt (from more than one dog) were found on the grass in the garden Dinner plates and grill pan (which we never used) were too big for the dishwasher At times we found the front door difficult to unlock with the key

- Trevor, July 2022
Margaret July 2022

“This is a return visit to the cottage.”

We find the cottage well situated with good walks close at hand. The amenities are excellent. There is a bit of wear and tear including the front door which is difficult to open. The garden could do with a bit of TLC. a good watering in the hot weather would help. But otherwise a good place to stay.

- Margaret, July 2022
Pauline April 2022

“We just had a lovely holiday here.”

The property was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The flowers and essentials such as milk, tea and coffee sachets to get us started was very welcome after a long drive. If I was going to recommend anything, it would be a folder with some ideas of things to do that have been recommended by guests and lists of dog friendly places to eat and good takeaway/delivery places. Also a couple of games/jigsaws for rainy afternoons. I know many places are steering away from this as most things are done online but sometimes the old fashioned things are welcome. We really can't say enough about this lovely property. Five adults and a dog and we each had our own space and bathroom area which really helped in the mornings, everything was to a high standard and to have space for parking so close to Whitby was a bonus. The property is right on the cinder path which made it perfect for lead free walks for the dog in the morning. If we return to holiday in the area, we will book again for sure.

- Pauline, April 2022
Sandra December 2021

“Very homely cottage.”

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay over New Year. When we arrived it was all decorated for Christmas. A very lovely touch was the mince pies on the kitchen table and milk in the fridge. The only draw back if going during school term times would be parking. Perhaps wardrobes in the other two bedrooms would have been nice.

- Sandra, December 2021

I am glad you enjoyed your stay, and hope you had a lovely Christmas. As it says in the listing, there is dedicated parking for 4 cars, all year round. We don't lose any spaces when the students are back in college. Sadly, due to the nature of the old house and the ceilings, it isn't really feasilble to put wardrobes in the other 2 bedrooms, but the claockstands with hangers do serve quite well, The other two wardrobes are large and roomy, so it it possibel to share if you need to. once again, thank you for your review, and I hope to welcome you back another time. Kind regards, Rebecca Property Owner
Rachel August 2021

“Spacious, good supply of hot water, very dog friendly, fully enclosed garden, kitchen well equipped but not at all well lit.”

Steep walk into Whitby across busy road but we did find a helpful underpass. Bins full on arrival. No recycling bins provided inside. Lack of toilet rolls, shelving or cupboards in ensuite facilities. Good sized family bathroom. One mattress was so uncomfortable we had to ask for it to be replaced , which it was. A number of windows couldn’t be opened. Adequate but lacking in flair , design or personal touch.

- Rachel, August 2021
Michelle August 2021

“Although the cottage was clean, it was very tatty in some areas and needs updating.”

There was a fusty smell as you entered and the carpets downstairs are all worn. The kitchen, although well equipped, was so dark when trying to prepare food as the only lighting was over the dining table. A lot of the windows couldn’t be opened or were hard to shut and the recycling bin was full on arrival. On the plus side, the bathrooms were nice and the WiFi worked well. Could do with more channels on the main TV. Location was good as out of busy Whitby and right on the Cinder Track. Definitely needs an update.

- Michelle, August 2021
Kathryn July 2021

“Good ,interesting location very convenient for both walking and getting into busy Whitby.”

Great for a large family especially the kitchen. Lounge area very sparse and kitchen equipment very variable

- Kathryn, July 2021
Paula July 2021

“Couldn’t open french doors, only one side opened as key seemed to have been glued in the lock of one door!”

Handheld on the lounge windows wouldn’t open as they were broken. Carpets were ripped in places. No cushions on any of the sofas. For the money I paid I have stayed in better accommodations. This property could do with an overall.

Karen October 2020

“Great property, nice and spacious.”

Good location even though the property is next to a school, it wasn't an issue. Only 10 minute walk in to town. Would stay at this property again.

- Karen, October 2020
M September 2020

“I noticed in a previous comment about this property, the lack of serving spoons, which became apparent when I tried to serve a cottage pie which I’d maybe for the first evening.”

Apparently the owner doesn’t take any notice of the comments as a large serving spoon is hardly expensive and would make life easier. You should know that the directions to the property are now wrong as Caedmon school has just been re named as Whitby Sixth Form College! We had a thoroughly enjoyable time and it is an easy 10 minute walk into Whitby but the walk back is very steep! The photograph of the cottage must be very old as there are borders in the garden now with mature shrubs which do make it dark and also make the lounge dark too.

- M, September 2020
Jeffrey September 2020

“Although the location of the house is good, we were disappointed that the interior was not as stated in the description.”

The beds are not double, they are 3/4 size and only 2 of the bedrooms had wardrobes, with only 3 coat hangers between them. The bedding and bed linen is basic and the curtains in all rooms are thin and flimsy, some were hanging off the curtain poles. The twin room is very cold especially at night because the radiator in there did not work. The WiFi connection is very poor. The living room is very basic and had a smell of dogs, especially if the doors are shut. We are a family of 6 adults and we stayed for 4 nights yet each bathroom had only one toilet roll ! Overall, We did enjoy our break, however this property needs a lot of TLC in order for it to match the description given.

- Jeffrey, September 2020
Eileen August 2020

“Lovely house in a Perfect location for Peace and quiet however only a shot walk into Whitby town centre.”

Excellent base for walking and cycling as cinder Path is next to the house. Very safe for children and there is a great park just over the road. Perfect family getaway.

- Eileen, August 2020
Malcolm August 2020

“This cottage is in a brilliant location for walking into Whitby and to other villages round about plus 2 parks.”

We had been advised that some things had been removed from the cottage due to COVID-19 restrictions and took what we would need with us. We had everything we needed in the kitchen except a bottle opener. Supermarket nearby. On arrival we had no internet access, we reported this and got a very quick response, however it remained poor and was often not available. We were a group of 4 adults, 6 year old and toddler and would use this property again.

- Gordon, July 2020
Margaret July 2020

“This is the second time we have visited this property and it was like coming home.”

The property was clean and well equipped even with the coronavirus restrictions We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay which is large enough to accommodate our family with two children and a dog to keep safe and entertain

- Margaret, July 2020
Caroline January 2020

“The house was convenient and pleasant.”

We paid a lot for three nights and we think the leave time of ten was too early. We had to get up sooner and clear up and then have a long journey. We think eleven would be a kinder hour to leave by.

- Caroline, January 2020
Craig December 2019

Susan October 2019

“This is the 3rd time we have stayed in one of the cottages on this site (my daughter booked the other two), we really like both the FarmHouse and the Old Barn.”

Sadly we won't be coming back next year as both properties are already booked for the week we want.

- Susan, October 2019
Rachel September 2019

“The location of the farmhouse is absolutely brilliant, just a few minutes walk into the harbour.”

Along side the farmhouse is the cinder path which is such a fabulous convenient walk for the dogs. The farmhouse itself is huge, and the bedrooms are all of a good size, 2 en-suite and a family bathroom to serve the others. The garden to the farmhouse is a little tired, the patio needs a very good sweep to stop dirty paws and the leaves need a good rake and the fence needs a bit of renovation. The kitchen is a great size, a big table and all the required white goods and bits and bobs, warm and welcoming. The house itself needs a bit of tlc, a freshen up here and there with carpet and paint. That said overall it does not deter from a warm and welcoming stay. We loved it, and would recommend this property to others without hesitation. Thank you

We had an excellent week there the cottage was very clean and tidy it was very comfortable and plenty of room this is the second time we have been to this cottage and we will definitely be going there again every time we have been there we have had an excellent time and we would like to thank you for making our holiday enjoyable Thank you Mrs J Hardy

- Julie, July 2019
Jill June 2019

“We had a wonderful stay at the Airy Hill farmhouse.”

Plenty of room for us and we’ll equipped, great location and everything we wished for. Definitely stay there again!

- Jill, June 2019
Sue May 2019

“Had a great time and will return.”

Great location. Easily catered for a party of 7 adults. A few things could be improved though so am giving some constructive feedback: Grass needed cutting and we could not see where the dogs had been. Dishwasher in the kitchen does not work so needs moving or at least cleaning - other dishwasher is fine. Double beds would be more comfortable if they were king size TV could be better- maybe free view with catch up TV? A new cooker would be good as the one in the kitchen is dated and takes ages to heat up. Will still return in the future as this is a very cosy and comfortable cottage. Sue

- Sue, May 2019
Susan April 2019

“Yes did you find a black fit bit watch charger in the 2nd bedroom with en suite it could have fallen on the floor I slept on the side by the window and plugged it in there by the bedside cabinet otherwise fantastic holiday would go back there again.”

Could do with small TV in the en suite bedrooms.

- Susan, April 2019
Helen November 2018

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Airy Hill old farmhouse.”

The farmhouse was warm and cosy, with a wood burning stove in the lounge and one in the kitchen. There were fresh flowers on the kitchen table and a pint of fresh milk in the fridge and Bonios for the dogs when we arrived, which was a nice touch. Whitby is the perfect base for exploring The North Yorkshire Coast and Moors. We would love to go back to go back and stay at Airy Hill Old Farmhouse again one day.

- Helen, November 2018
Nigel September 2018

“No CD player No Working DVD player Lack of kitchen equipment (wooden spoon, measuring jug, scales) Great location, lovely layout, modern bathrooms.”

- Nigel, September 2018
Diana August 2018

“We had a wonderful week with all the family.”

There were 6 adults, 2 children and 2 babies. The cottage was large enough to accommodate us all. The kitchen was a real hub for the family, large enough to seat us all comfortably for meals. The bedrooms are a good size and great to have 2 on suite. Essential for grandad and grandma! We could walk into Whitby and the walks behind the cottage were safe and enjoyable for the children. We would definitely book the cottage again.

- Diana, August 2018
Catherine June 2018

“No wardrobes in main bedrooms just coathangers and coat stand we dont class as sufficient for what we paid.”

Saying that we had a nice stay the cottage was very clean however we didnt expect it to be in school grounds. This was advertised as Note: Cottage next to a secondary school and caravan park, some traffic noise can be heard at around 8.45am and 3.40pm during the week.... this did not state it was in school grounds

Cottage is a little tired looking Front door is very scruffy so doesn’t give it the greatest initial impression Some facilities not working but other than that it was comfortable enough

- Gerard, May 2018
Lizzie April 2018

“The cottage was amazing.”

Very clean and lots of room. The location was perfect. No need to drive anywhere as it was just a short walk to Whitby. You could see the Abbey from the bedroom windows which was lovely. Ideal for a dog as the garden was enclosed and a nice size. Lots of walks you can go on just on the doorstep. Will definitely be coming back again.

- Lizzie, April 2018
Jill March 2018

“Fantastic farmhouse, lovely area.”

Would go back to airy hill. Only down thing, is lacking extra saucepans and cutlery for 8 people.

- Jill, March 2018
Jill March 2018

“We rented this house for 6 adults, 2 dogs.”

It was large enough to be comfortable and spacious. Plenty of nooks and crannies for storage. Ideally situated for walking into Whitby and other areas from the cottage.

- Jill, March 2018
Sue December 2017

“Great location- very cosy- will definitely come back”

- Sue, December 2017
Susan November 2017

“Airey hill was perfect for a group of 8 adults.”

It was clean and comfortable and provided èverything we needed. The only issue was due to it being an old property the stairs are steep and one of our party needed help with the stairs. It didnt spoil our stay just need to make people aware if they have mobility problems. We would have no problem staying here again. The area around the house is quiet even when school pick up/drop off we didnt notice it. Lots of lovely walks and easy access into town for the more able. Short drive for others. Overall a lovely house and relaxing stay.

- Susan, November 2017
Hugh May 2017

“The cottage was perfect, great accommodation for 6 adults and 2 toddlers.”

An easy 15 minute walk to the centre of Whitby and handy for other locations too. Very quiet (school holidays). Being dog friendly was a bonus. We hope to return.

Matt April 2016

“We had a fantastic long weekend in Whitby, a shame it had to come to an end, the accommodation was fantastic and in a excellent location, very spacious and modern and only a short walk to the town centre.”

I would highly recommend this property to anyone wanting to visit Whitby. We look forward to staying at Airy Hill Old Farmhouse Again when we come back.

- Matt, April 2016
Joanne April 2016

“A great space for our large family plus dog!”

I especially liked the 2 en suites and large bathroom. The kitchen was a great focal point for holiday breakfasts and the lounge was very comfortable on an evening. The heating was very good for a large house also, we were never cold. Would definitely come back.

- Joanne, April 2016

“Liked that the garden was safe for the dog and children.”

There was plenty of places to walk with the dog nearby. The cottage felt very homely even though it was a rental property. It was lovely and warm when we got there.

Airy Hill Farm Cottages

These beautifully converted stone barns, are set on the edge of the bustling seaside town of Whitby, just over half a mile from the centre and are perfect for families wanting to enjoy the many attractions in this historic town and the stunning countryside of the North York Moors National Park. With spacious open plan living areas, they are bright and airy, with floor-to-ceiling windows allowing plenty of light to flood in and doors opening onto small, private and sheltered patios. Tastefully furnished in a contemporary style, they have a touch of luxury, with travertine floors, Smeg appliances and comfortable leather sofas. With cosy woodburners, ideal for cool evenings, the cottages are warm and welcoming. Each property is slightly different, catering for all family needs, whether it be a ground floor bedroom or a walk-in shower. Next to the cottages is a public footpath, which leads into woodland and onto the Esk Valley Walk, whilst the nearby, disused railway, The Cinder Track, is ideal for walkers, cyclists and horse riders. A pleasant walk (1 mile) brings you into the centre of this popular historic town, with a wide array of pubs, restaurants and independent shops. Explore the narrow, cobbled lanes and pretty market square, or partake in afternoon tea in one of the many charming, traditional tea rooms. With long, sandy beaches, dramatic cliffs and pretty gardens, Whitby has something to offer everyone. A must is a climb up the 199 steps to the famous abbey, or a windswept clifftop walk along the Cleveland Way. With beautiful surrounding countryside to discover and pretty inland and coastal villages to visit, these charming barn conversions provide a wonderful base for a varied and interesting holiday.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £300.
