What our customers say about their holidays

  The "roadside parking" was a real issue.

  We were only given some clarity on this by email on 29th September, 3 days before we were due to leave for our holiday. This email spoke of off road parking at the bottom of the steps to the row of cottages. When we arrived we found the off road parking was occupied by a deep fenced-off excavation, seemingly work in progress by the water company, and a large heap of hard core, presumably left by the water company to back fill the excavation when work is completed. All of which made it extremely difficult to park with any sense of security. This situation soured our holiday and I believe Sykes/owner should have informed us of the full facts about the condition of the off road parking, allowing us time to change the date of our visit or Sykes/owner to make alternative arrangements for parking, in what is a very tight location under normal circumstance. Also I don't understand why there is no thought given to mentioning, that due to the steps that have to be used to exit and access the cottage on each occasion, that these steps might be difficult the older person or anyone with a walking difficulty. It sounds as if we have nothing good to say about Ghyll Cottage, which is not correct. The cottage was comfortable and with great views, but this experience leads us to think twice about ever using Sykes in future.

  Had a lovely stay at York House, only down side was 1 WC could do with another downstairs especially when holidaying with elderly relatives, the downstairs bedroom would welcome an en suite in our opinion.

  The only other thing which is out of the owners control is the really busy road, and difficulty parking, when trying to get all of your luggage and shopping across the road whilst only being able to open one side of the car due to the kerb, it was quite scary at times as we had 2 elderly relatives and a child plus the road noise was quite bad early morning. Apart from that we had a perfect stay the house is clean, cosy yet spacious and we had everything we needed, we ate ate at the Fox and Rabbit a few miles up the road which was fabulous and also The Buck Inn, wouldn’t recommend The Buck Inn simply because of the noisy locals shouting and swearing whilst we were trying to have a family meal. Half an hour from Whitby which was a nice day out. Close to Dalby and Pickering also nice days out. Just a 10 minute walk from the village lovely walks and a fabulous ice cream parlour, fish and chip shop was really good and there is a grocery store selling everything you could need. All in all a lovely break and we were lucky with the weather too which was a bonus!

  Superb location, well positioned for the east coast of Yorkshire.

  Close to Pickering. Very nice pub in the beautiful village of Cropton about 10 minutes walk. The Lodge itself is very clean and spacious in a very quiet but due to the trees dark location. Bedrooms are big enough but the double beds are too small for me and my wife but a King size would probably be too big for the rooms. Bed was hard and my wife found it very uncomfortable. Adequate wardrobe space. Bathroom is a wet room which is ok but took some clearing up after a shower as the water always escapes. The shower head clamp does not fit which needed some modification with a sponge cloth to make it useable. The Kitchen was very well equipped with Dish washer, good oven, and plenty of utensils. No washing machine which was disappointing. Lounge kitchen diner was very spacious and the furniture in very good order. All in all a pleasant stay but due to beds would not use again.

  The owners are very welcoming and should you require any assistance are available.

  The cottage had everything that we needed for our very large family The kitchen is very well equipped, the accommodation is very homely and comfortable, bedrooms were spacious as was the lounge. The games room was amazing for adults and children alike. The children enjoyed the playground where they spent a lot of time after our days out. The location is ideal for visiting Whitby and the surrounding area. Only a 30/40 mins drive to York. We absolutely loved our time at Boundcliffe and would highly recommend it. All-ready booked for next year as we enjoy it so much. Sorry guys we are coming back There is home baked bread plus all essentials when you arrive which is very welcome after a long journey. It really is great for a large family. My daughter stayed in the smaller cottage at Boundcliffe they too had an enjoyable experience and would recommend also.

  A true home from home we felt content as soon as we arrived.

  The welcome packs for humans & our dog Penny were much appreciated! Very well equipped kitchen, spacious lounge area with ample seating and the games room was perfect for our teen boys! Upstairs there were plenty of towels and pillows (and beds!) for us to choose from. Some of the mattresses were a little on the ‘soft side’ for our liking hence the 9 out of ten rating but all of the positives and the friendly owners more than outweighed this point we would still highly recommend this property. Locally you are in an excellent position to explore the area, we visited Pickering, Thirsk, Kirkby Moorside, Whitby & Scarborough in three days. In addition we explored Goathland to climb down to see the waterfall and also Brinham Rocks (NT) to climb up the rocks! We crammed a lot into our time but that is just the beginning of our Yorkshire adventures to come!
