What our customers say about their holidays

  We had a few problems finding this property - the postcode given on the property details is different from the one it says to use for satnav directions and of course, we managed to use the wrong one!

  Cue driving hither and yon in a torrential downpour until we eventually read the instructions properly and manage to find the right turn off. The turn off is signposted "Whitby Sixth Form" and you need to go right up to the school grounds before turning off into Airy Hill Caravan Park and cottages. You then need to drive up what looks like another cottage's drive way before realising you are actually in the right place. The parking spaces are all labelled clearly, which is helpful but I think it would be quite tight if you had more than 2 cars to park if the 2 spaces for another cottage are being used (luckily not the case for us). The property itself is spacious, clean and well equipped, part of a complex of several other holiday properties. Plenty of room for our party of 4 adults and two small children. Minor quibbles are that there is no opening window for the two dormer bedrooms and this made them quite stuffy, although keeping the doors open during the day did make a difference. The bath(there is only one) is also quite slippery with no handles to hold, even with the non-slip mats in the bottom, so care needs to be taken there. The downstairs bedroom was only used for the shower but was very spacious and set up well for anyone who has mobility problems. The wooden cot was much appreciated by our youngest grandchild, with a mattress supplied, and the wooden highchair was very sturdy. We had a minor issue with the dishwasher (tablets supplied) and the owner offered to visit to look at it (we solved the problem so a visit was not necessary) - it was nice to have a quick reply and help offered. As mentioned by other users, not a great number of toilet rolls supplied but I had brought plenty with me. The handwash supplied for the sinks is rather thin but again, I had brought my own. The enclosed garden was great for the children to play in and only a short drive to the beach or town centre. All in all, a great holiday property.

  Hi we have stayed several times at Airey Hill cottages (Kingfisher & Mallard) and found them delightful although getting rather tired now.

  This is the first time staying at the farm cottage which sleeps 9 and we took two small dogs, a sign reminded us to clear up the dog faeces but found the previous occupants had not and there must have been at least 10 lots to clear up before we had got settled in and there were holes in the fencing which our dog found instantly. With room for three couples there is only one key in the key safe and that one key services both front and back doors The patio area had not been power washed for many months. There is a small border at the front of the property in which the weeds were chest height and the windows had not been cleaned for weeks. There is also a step approx 3” into the small lounge from the kitchen and my wife tripped on it three times bruising her arm on the door handle We thought the cost of the rental for two nights was very expensive at £1100 considering we could not enter the property until 4pm on Saturday and had to vacate the property by 9am on the Monday morning. This was the first time the family had been on holiday since the COVID virus started and we enjoyed our short break together but the above points somewhat marred our stay in beautiful Whitby.

  The property is lovely and spacious and overall we enjoyed our holiday.

  The cottage is situated in a nice quiet area. My husband and and I loved the downstairs bedroom with ensuite. There is a shortcut into Whitby, but be aware there is a steep slope to go up. A very large field is accessible with beautiful views of the Abbey. The garden is not secure for dogs as there is a gap in the trees. The back garden was dirty and the furniture was covered in cobwebs and insects and there are no cushions for the seats. My family was a party of 10 and it states there is a barbecue, however, you can cook for 2 people, so we didn't bother due to it being too small and the condition of the garden. The bottom oven does not get hot and worst of all one if the double beds has a hard mattress and creaks as soon as you move. I paid for the cottage as my family could not afford to go away and my son and his wife had no bed and slept on the L shaped settee after the first night. There was no welcome pack or instructions on how to use appliances. Fortunately we have visited Whitby a few times and knew where to visit, but it would have been nice to have information or comments from other guests about other places to visit.

  We love this house and this is the 3rd time we have stayed here.

  It is spacious with plenty of parking and not too far out of town. We like the new downstairs room which is handy if you don't like the stairs. A couple of things would be nice - bigger towels - lots more cost hangers suitable for adult clothing not children's ones. One of the settees is not very comfortable - the conservatory needs some maintenance and a coat of paint!. The old outside furniture needs painting or removing and the back door will not lock from the outside so we had to lock it from the inside and go out the front door - this does need addressing asap. A tumble dryer would also be useful so you can wash and dry the towels as half way through the week they did smell a bit damp. We still love the house and will come back but a bit of TLC would be good. All in all we had a great week and were blessed with good weather and Whitby is still one of our favourite places. A visit to FallingFoss tea room is a must and a scone and cup of tea at Hammonds tea room also worth a visit.

  Jackie And John have an absolute amazing property.

  It has been furnished to a high specification which is gorgeous. Everything is brand new. The kitchen was excellently equipped with everything, included salt pepper, cling film and foil (which some accommodations don’t provide). Children’s cutlery plates bowls and cups provided - another bonus to prevent breakages. To us the little things really help to make a stay homely and comforting. Such as the throws and a little dog basket. The house is in an excellent location to the park and sea front, with great parking on the road outside the house. Use the clock to get 3 hours free parking or the scratch card for all day parking. The beds were very comfortable and lovely fresh clean bedding. Towels again brand new and fluffy. Bathrooms were immaculate and to the top specification. TVs were up to date with apps enabled. Free WIFI bonus! The house was perfect for our stay - not one negative. We will be returning thank you so much x
