What our customers say about their holidays

• Charles - Verified booking

  We were two families, with 6 teen or pre-teen children between us, and this house provided an ideal place for a communal holiday.

  There is masses of space inside, which is conveniently laid out, and the garden and surrounding area was perfect for games of hide and seek. In quieter moments the views across the dale are peaceful and we were fortunate to have sunshine almost every day to enjoy the seats outside the kitchen. There were some wonderful sunsets too. We went on a few walks locally but the main place the children enjoyed was the ford and meadow more or less at the bottom of the drive. (One thing we should have done was to bring a map with us; there are masses of footpath signs but the paths aren't always very clear on the ground and we were unable to find the promised map in the house.) We had a few trips to local places - Middleham Castle, Jervaulx Abbey, Masham and others - which we all enjoyed. There is a huge amount to see in the local area. You have to get used to the single track access in Coverdale, though. On the day we left the road in the direction of Leyburn was blocked which meant we needed to go up the valley to join the A1. This can easily add an hour to the journey. But we enjoyed the peace and the relaxation which the house offers; it is not a place to come and rush about! Thank you for letting us stay in the house, which we would highly recommend. All of the joining information was friendly and helpful and we were made to feel very welcome from the start.

  A comfortable and spacious apartment with fantastic sea views from all windows at the back. The kitchen was very well kitted out, lovely large dining room and cosy lounge and plenty of space for a family of five with a dog. Little welcome pack with basics of tea, coffee, sugar, milk and essentials (dishwasher tabs, dishcloths, rubbish sacks) provided. We loved the location - at the top of Robin Hoods Bay with parking for one (more free parking on-street) - be aware it is a steep walk down and back up to the old town and sea. I think we would have liked to know that the flat has a shared entrance hall, and the door is literally right up to the bottom of the stairs of the house - a bit tricky for access, especially coming down. You can hear the neighbours in the Garden Flat below very well, although it didn't disturb us. Note most board games and records pictured in the listing have been removed and you are expected to strip beds when you leave and bag the linen up. Also - no towels provided - bring your own! Overall, a great stay in Robin Hoods Bay and we would consider returning.

  Good location within 10 mins walk into main town/attraction area.

  Free street parking right outside and the streets nearby, if there are any spaces. We did find a space, so we had no problem. The property itself was generally good and spacious. The kitchen had a huge dining table with all the necessary cutlery, cups and plates. However, there were a few negative things. We couldn't figure out how to control the heating. We went when it was really warm and the radiators were still heating up. One side of the toaster started smoking, so it should be replaced. The washing machine didn't have drying function, so wouldn't be useful unless you were staying there for like a week. The bathroom skylight window was right above the toilet and had no blinds. It is on the top floor and maybe no one can see, but still felt weird and exposed at night time with the light on. There were 2 huge TV's in the top bedroom and the sitting room downstairs, and both did not receive any channels so they were useless. Only the little TV in the kitchen worked with a few channels.

  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.

  A lovely stay in a well located cottage, the cottage was welcoming and inviting.

  Upon arrival, there was some milk,tea and coffee provided which was a nice gesture. The cottage is a great base for walking and a visit to Malham to see the cove and Janet’s Foss. After a 12 mile walk, Dyson House is a great place to come home and relax. There were a few areas which could be improved, the kitchen was lacking some utensils such as small sharp knives for chopping and the oven door was faulty as it struggled to close. The hinge on the left hand side is not secured in properly which caused problems during the stay. Another minor issue, was that in some areas of the home there are damp spots where wallpaper is starting to peel, which is something to watch in the future. Overall, we had a really enjoyable stay at Dyson House and would consider this cottage to stay in the future.
