  Brilliant holiday to Mill Cottage Hinderwell.

  The owner telephoned us 3 days prior to holiday to explain how to get the key and to answer any questions we may have had, this I thought was excellent as we were going to phone the day after. On arrival we were pleased with the accomodation and with a welcoming pack which included wines. The cottage was just as the pictures and write up stated on your website we were not disapointed. As this is our second time in a Sykes holiday accomodation we did not expect anything less. The cottage was clean and well laid out with all the essentials on hand very well equipped. Hinderwell is a good base for sighseeing in the area with places like Whitby, Redcar, Middlesborough. Scarborough on hand as well as the Steam Engines where we were able to view in the engine sheds and the home of Heartbeat where they carried out the filming. The Brown Cow over the road where we were able to take the dog and we ate there on several occasions as the food is good and the people very friendly, as with the butcher in the village who supplies the pub with meat which resulted in us bringing a good selection of top quality meat home. All in all we were extremely satisfied both my wife and I and her nephew as well as the dog who also enjoyed herself. Once again many thanks Pat & Dennis Casement

  This is a wonderful part of the world and Ellerby was a great place from which to explore it.

  We (a 3-generational family celebrating a Special Birthday) found The Old Dairy to be just perfect for us. The kitchen is a great size for all to gather in during the day, likewise the lounge in the evening. It was extremely, clean, comfortable and full of everything one could wish for - great kitchen equipment, lovely books and toys for the children to use and the Welcome Hamper and flowers were much appreciated. It was obvious that great attention to detail had been paid to the property. The garden was also a bonus with beautiful far reaching views to the sea. As well as doing a couple of good walks, we also explored Runswick Bay, Staithes, Robin Hoods Bay and Whitby. The Magpie Cafe in Whitby didn't accept dogs but Abbey Wharfe (on the other side of the river) did and the food was great. The neighbours were particularly friendly and we really enjoyed our visits to the Ellerby Inn where the food was great and we were made to feel very welcome. All in all we had a perfect week (even the weather was pretty good for February!). Thank you Sarah, Richard and family.

  My Word...

  such a well appointed holiday home in a tranquil setting, we have enjoyed every single minute. Loved exploring around Runswick Bay, it hasn't changed much in 70 years (although we have!) Sansdend beach is fabulous and taking the hydraulic cliff lift down to the pier in Saltburn was certainly worth the journey. Boating on the river in Ruswarp and riding the toy train indelighted my 2 year old granddaughter Skye. We drove over the purple heather around the North York Moors to the Mallyan Spout Waterfall in Goathland, certainly worth the trectourous descent over large boulders to see the spectacular gushing waterfall. Being Food Conscious, the Home Stead Kitchen close to the Mallyan Spout was excellent (you need to book)as was a very small restaurant called No. 20 in a village house in port Mulgrave, both with talented chefs. Robin Hoods Bay remains the same and the Falling Foss Tea Garden at Midge Hall was a lovely discovery. A Happy Holiday At The Old Dairy Thank you

  Spent a week in this spotless cottage with a beautiful sun trap of a decked garden and conservatory in August.

  We were welcomed with local produce and everything was as described in the listing and more. The sofa was a home away from home, and dare for anyone to last more than ten minutes on it without falling asleep (thanks for the blankets) The games in the cupboard were fun to play in the evening with the teens and I ended up needing to buy a version to take home. Hinderwell is pretty. Highly recommend Mark's hospitality at the Brown Cow a short walk around the corner, together with the sausage rolls from the butchers and a darling little beauty salon with an owner who makes bespoke silver jewellery. Would recommend booking The Magpie in Whitby for fish and chips and also the steam train from Whitby to Pickering via Goathland (Aidensfield) On the whole 11/10. Would love to come back. A huge thank you to the owner. We saw North Yorkshire at its most vibrant.

  This was our first time staying in this area and we had a great time.

  Pond Farm View is in a great location for walks on your doorstep, Runswick Bay and a walk to Staithes along the Cleveland Way to name a few. Plenty of places to eat out also and enjoy good local food and plenty of sea food. The accommodation Pond Farm view offered was excellent, it was clean tidy and offered everything needed for a comfortable stay with plenty of room to chill and relax in. Beds were comfortable and welcome after doing long walks getting and getting some well earned rest and sleep. Bonus of having off road parking was great as we didn't have to look for some were to park after being out for the day but if you have a bigger than average car like I have you may find it a bit tight but do able. All in all a great place and a great base for exploring the area.
