  • "This cottage is good value for money."

    It’s a nice cottage in a nice place. However it is a little tired now and could do with updating in places. I e the double bedroom is in need of re decorating and new flooring or carpet. Paint work in many places needs doing. Also not blaming the cleaning of the cottage because I know that it is limited with time for each cottage but it really needs a deep clean. Jobs that normally can’t be done because of time. All said we had a nice stay and May stay again but would like some improvement.

    Thank you for your feedback, I’m really pleased you think Harriet’s cottage is value for money and that you had a lovely time, we are closing the cottage down to be refurbished at the end of February, we do understand it needs some paint and love, as it’s a busy little cottage it’s difficult trying to do the big jobs!

    A genuinely comfortable cottage, with all the facilities you would need to make your stay perfect. A great location, close enough to Whitby, without being on top of the town.

    The location is amazing. Easy access to country and coast. Good quality welcome pack much appreciated. All in all a very nice cottage to stay and we would be delighted to return. Only one problem there is a cleanliness issue. Some areas needs serious cleaning attention. We sent Friday evening and Saturday morning cleaning. Which sadly does leave an impact to your weeks holiday overshadowing how nice it could have been. Please get intouch to discuss the areas of cleaning that need serious attention. We feel saddened to have to say this about such a beautiful cottage if this was my cottage I would want to be informed of this. Deborah

  • "The property had been beautifully renovated to a high standard and was very comfortable and spotlessly clean."

    A lovely touch was having a bottle of prosecco and Halloween biscuits waiting for us on arrival. A couple of things that could have been clearer; We booked the property because it said in the details it was 2 miles from Whitby and it might well be as the crow flies. We were hoping to walk in but by road it was nearer to 3.5 miles and some of the roads had no pavements or street lighting so that was a bit disappointing. The other thing that wasn't an issue but was unclear was the parking. We brought 2 cars and parked one on the road and one at the side of the property. It did say no parking but we thought that was because it was parking for the property. A very polite neighbour asked us to move it but perhaps if something was written inside the property that would have been avoided. We did have a lovely weekend stay and the property is beautiful and well equipped.

    The quality of the cottage, including all of the fixtures and fittings was excellent and contributed to a really homely feeling. For the first time, in all of our Sykes holidays, there was nothing missing, in terms of cooking utensils. That might seem like an odd comment but means a lot to us. The location was also great, a lovely little village, with just the right amenities and perfectly placed for visiting Whitby and the surrounding area. Harriet's really is a cottage that we can't wait to come back to.

  • "This cottage is beautiful, we have stayed previously and again the interior, cleanliness are of good quality."

    Sadly, this visit was significantly impacted by the development work adjacent (outside the back door) to the property. We were woken early Monday- Friday before 8 am, on most days before 7.30 by the work men arriving, large construction material deliveries and one day by the emptying of their portable toilet being drained. The weather has been amazing and very hot, but again we were not able to leave the windows open due to the noise (loud music) and excess dust that was created by the cutting of stone and brick. We have tended to leave the property during their working hours to avoid the large diggers, excavator and lifting machinery. We would have appreciated some prior notice of the impact of the building work before our stay.

    We loved the shabby chic feel. There was plenty of crockery and lovely cups and saucers and a nice coffee machine which made it feel more like a hotel stay. Having a 2 year old with us we spent most of the day out at nearby Whitby, Scarborough and other coastline locations as there is so much to do nearby and then evenings snuggled up cooking and listening to music or having a nice bath. The parking disc was a fantastic touch as we used that often to go into Whitby for an afternoon stroll or snack. We would definitely return.

    It’s in a great location for accessing Whitby, Staithes and Robin Hood’s Bay and other destinations a little further away such as Scarborough and Bridlington. The only thing that let it down for us was the cleanliness of the cottage. The floors of the bathroom and wet room looked like they needed a good mop and the rug in the front room really needs replacing, it was covered in stains and full of dog hair - not great when you want to put your baby down to play. It was also a little tired in places and could do with a little touching up. We also had an issue with the WiFi whilst we were there, so had no access until our last full day. However this was something that was rectified as soon as possible by the owner.

    Thank you for your feedback and I am sorry if the cottage did not meet your expectations. The rug was a very expensive, vintage style rug and was not stained. I have now replaced this however and have carried out a deep clean of the cottage. The WiFi issues were due to a storm but were rectified quickly as you say. I hope you enjoyed your stay otherwise.

About the location

BRIGGSWATH

Whitby 2 miles; Pickering 17 miles.

Briggswath is a quiet neighbourhood in a sought-after part of the village of Sleights, resting on the north side of the River Esk, and is named after one of the medieval bridges. The village used to be part of the parish of Aislaby, which sits above it on the edge of the moors, but is now part of the parish of Eskdaleside-cum-Ugglebarnby, forming a small triangle on the north side of the Esk. The village contains a Wesleyan chapel built in 1820. A wide range of shops, primary schools (at both Sleights and Ruswarp), a church and doctor's surgery make up the charming location. Briggswath lies approximately two miles from Whitby and 17 miles from the market town of Pickering, with plenty more amenities and attractions to explore.
