Mrs Clayton August 2020

“Cottage was lovely ,compact ,but this was stated in the description so did not come as a surprise , in a stunning location and with the added bonus of a large dog friendly paddock to tire out our four legged friend .”

Our hosts were great , and full of info about the surrounding area which they were more than happy to share . No complaints in regards to facilities , and there has obviously been no skimping when it comes to the appliances etc .Would definitely go back and whole heartedly recommend .

- Mrs Clayton, August 2020
Mr Pilling July 2020

“We had a really good week here.”

The only little down sides were that the Tassimo coffee machine wasn’t clean inside and the outside seating area was in front of another cottage so you felt like you were invading their privacy. The cottage was great though and the views were really nice with great facilities including a dishwasher and washing machine, we used both. We did use the Tassimo too, having cleaned it ourselves, and there is a nice log burner for a cold evening. We would go back here and really enjoyed our stay.

- Mr Pilling, July 2020
Mrs Tideswell July 2020

“We stayed for 7 nights at Honey Bee Cottage and had a fantastic time.”

The cottage is cosy but with two young boys, was ideal for us. Everything inside the cottage is of a high spec, we were not expecting this. You have everything you could need for a home away from home and the surrounding area is wonderful! Our children played together in the garden, grassed areas and fields near by and thoroughly enjoyed meeting the resident cows and ponies. The location is perfect for days out to Scarborough and Whitby but you can also walk straight from the cottage through beautiful scenery - we walked to Ravenscar tea rooms and enjoyed a cream tea while overlooking the sea before heading down to seal beach - a must see! I cannot fault Honey Bee Cottage and hope to visit again in the future :-)

- Mrs Tideswell, July 2020
Mrs Sorsby February 2020

“Honey Bee cottage was such a charming find.”

We found the cottage to be very clean and had all the facilities you could wish for. We especially enjoyed the log burner! Great position for access to all coastal walks and the views were amazing. Without a doubt we will be back.

- Mrs Sorsby, February 2020
Mr Seymour February 2020

“Great location, halfway between Scarborough and Whitby, with easy access to the Yorkshire Moors.”

Cottage is perfect for a quiet getaway or as a base to go off exploring the local area. The owners were always on hand to offer advice on what to visit, best places to eat etc. Highly recommended and i would go again.

- Mr Seymour, February 2020
Judith c November 2019

“Wonderful dog friendly accommodation”

This was a perfect place for our short break. The cottage was spotlessly clean and wanted for nothing. The wood burning stove was an added bonus which created cosy nights after our days in the wintry weather. There was plenty of room for the two of us and our dog. A lovely peaceful location away from the hustle and bustle of Scarborough but within easy reach of both Scarborough and Whitby. It could not have been better - we will definitely be back.

- Judith c, November 2019
Mr Davison November 2019

“A very characterable and cosy barn conversion that has been fitted out and equipped to a high standard with all you need for a comfortable and refreshing break.”

The main bed was probably one of the most comfortable I have slept in

- Mr Davison, November 2019
Mrs Currie November 2019

“This cottage was perfect in every way.”

Extremely clean and cosy and wanted for nothing. It was in a lovely peaceful location and gave us the chilled out base we were looking for. The hosts were extremely friendly but were not intrusive in any way. Highly recommended.

- Mrs Currie, November 2019
Mr Waller October 2019

“Seeing the stars at night through the rooflight was excellent.”

Surprisingly spacious, immaculate, cosy and comfortable little place with everything we needed in a well kept private grounds. We found this the perfect spot to unwind as did our three year old Retreiver.

Mrs Mills April 2019

“Fantastic cottage with attention to detail for a perfect stay right down to the tea, coffee and biscuits on arrival.”

Great location for anyone wanting the peace and quiet of this beautiful area, yet near to some good local attractions. Lovely walking routes for us and our faithful hound all close at hand with opportunities for bird watching on the door step. We saw Merlin and Siskin during our stay but the owl eluded us!! A perfect choice whatever the weather from sitting in front of a cosy fire on those chilly days or sitting out in the landscaped garden with wonderful views in the sunshine. Highly recommended and we will be back. Thank you.

- Mrs Mills, April 2019
Ms Lee March 2019

“Warm welcome.”

- Ms Lee, March 2019
Mrs Millson March 2019

“Our cottage was delightful - ideal for 2 people.”

Just what we needed for our week away. All the mod cons and spotlessly clean. Friendly owners with a gorgeous dog. Set in a wonderful location with excellent pubs only a short drive away. Highly recommended.

- Mrs Millson, March 2019
Mrs Wheatcroft February 2019

“The cottage was beautiful, extremely clean with every thing we needed.”

There was milk tea coffee and biscuits left for us on a tray when we arrived . The cottage is in a idyllic setting and the owners were very friendly and helpful.

- Mrs Wheatcroft, February 2019
Mrs Sanderson November 2018

“This was our 3rd visit to Honey Bee Cottage so we knew what to expect.”

The Cottage is immaculately clean with every facility you could need; the kitchen is quite small but perfectly adequate. I think there is ample room for say, a family of four, although we only travelled as a couple. We saw the owners, Pippa and Graham, only briefly and they are lovely but we didn't have any need to bother them for anything The Cottage is set in a beautiful location and we hope to return one day.

- Mrs Sanderson, November 2018
Mrs Webster October 2018

“We have just had a few days in honey bee cottage and it was fabulous beautiful little cottage cannot wait to go back”

- Mrs Webster, October 2018
Mrs Whiteside September 2018

“The owner pippa and her husband made us most welcome.”

The cottage was lovely and comfortable warm. The ground's we're very good for the dog's to wander without getting out. The cottage was well placed for visiting other part's of the coastline.

- Mrs Whiteside, September 2018
Mrs Swann September 2018

“The cottage was fantastic and the owners were lovely.”

Everywhere we wanted to go was in close proximity to the cottage so we didn't have to drive to far. It was great that we were able to take the dog with us and the owners also have a lovely dog called Ginney. We are hoping to go back next year.

- Mrs Swann, September 2018
Mr Free August 2018

“Great place, good location, very clean cottage and Phipps and Graham are very nice people and very helpful.”

Will be going back again.

- Mr Free, August 2018
Ms Lewis July 2018

“Loved the cottage and the area.”

My only gripe with Sykes is you send too many emails!

- Ms Lewis, July 2018
Mr Cosgrove June 2018

“My two dogs enjoyed the holiday very much.”

They were able to relax outside in a way they can’t at home. Lots of good walks in the area, great scenery. Property was fine, though being tall and staying in an old cottage built for a smaller generation has its problems. Bumped my head numerous times and had to walk around like Quasimodo. Owners living on site were lovely and extremely helpful. Only real drawback for me was the poor broadband connection. I used up all my month’s data in four days. A small price to pay however.

- Mr Cosgrove, June 2018
Fenton June 2018

“We had a lovely weekend in Honey Bee Cottage.”

It was just as it said it was and it had everything we needed. The cottage was so pretty and the views were breathtaking and extremely beautiful. On our journey home we chatted about when we could come again. We will definitely rebook and I’m looking forward to it already.

- Fenton, June 2018

“Lovely people and cottage.”

In a gorgeous area

- Mr Roberts, May 2018
Mrs Mitchell April 2018

“Honey Bee cottage is a hidden gem, beautifully kept, immaculately clean and with everything you could possibly need.”

The cottage has gorgeous views from the front door, even the drive leading up to Honey Bee is a pleasure, very well kept and was lined with daffodils on our visit. The owners and their dog were lovely and very welcoming, definitely will return very soon!

- Mrs Mitchell, April 2018
Mrs Stuart March 2018

“The cottage is picture perfect and is to the highest standards and the hosts are warm and friendly and go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and are so helpful.”

- Mrs Stuart, March 2018
Mr Saveall March 2018

“Beautiful cottage in a rural/coastal location.”

Facilities covered all our needs and a log burning stove in the living area was the icing on the cake especially with the snow over the weekend. Excellent local walks and Whitby and Scarborough just on the door step. We will return soon.

- Mr Saveall, March 2018
Miss Harrison March 2018

“Honey bee cottage was a stunning cottage in a beautiful location and I will 100% be returning”

- Miss Harrison, March 2018

I will certainly book with you again.

- Mr Borwick, February 2018
Mrs Levesley December 2017

“This was the most wonderful cottage we have ever stayed in.”

It absolutely oozes charm and character and I loved the small children's bedrooms, how cute. The owners had thought of everything and we wanted for nothing during our stay. The log burner just added to the cost charm of this cottage making every evening cosy. The location was perfect for visiting the coast and the walks were fantastic. Thank you to Pippa and Graham (and of course Ginny the dog), the bottle of Prosecco for New Years Eve was also a wonderful pleasant surprise. We will be visiting again .

- Mrs Levesley, December 2017
thebrambles_13 November 2017

“Perfect cottage!”

This is easily our favourite cottage! Seems in the middle of nowhere yet only 7 miles from Scarborough and 12 from Whitby, the cottage is set in extensive grounds overlooking beautiful Moors scenery. Inside it is so cozy, ideal for a couple, although it sleeps 4 two of the bedrooms are more suited to children I think. The cottage has been imaginatively restored from former farm buldings with quaint beams and a lovely wood burning stove, it has a smallish kitchen but one that is really well equipped with everything you could possibly need and no detail has been overlooked. It’s dog friendly too which is a bonus, The owners, who live on site, are lovely, so friendly and accommodating. This is our second visit and we hope to return one day.

- thebrambles_13, November 2017

The fixtures and fittings were superb; lovely cushions, pottery, pictures, curtains and upholstery. We felt as though we were staying in someone's house. The owner, was very friendly and welcoming. The cottage was well placed for the Cleveland Way and Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay. We will definitely go back!

Davebb1955 October 2015

“Lovely cottage in stunning scenery”

The cottage lived up to the description and reviews and the scenery, local walks etc. are superb. The only reason I didn't give it 5/5 is because I managed to scrape the skin off my head (no hair for protection) on the low beams upstairs 3 times, the water taps in the kitchen sink turn the wrong way ending up in me getting rather wet a number of times and the pillows were rather firm. Despite this I would definitely return

- Davebb1955, October 2015
arabforbesie July 2015

“Fabulous cottage in a great location”

Myself, wife and two children have just returned home from staying here for a week. As the title suggests this was a great place to stay. The peaceful location is fantastic and you have all the facilities you need. The house was spotless when we arrived with nice touches such as soap, milk and towels, which you don't always get. The cottage is compact but was big enough for us. The two single rooms are advertised as children's rooms and they were exactly that. The beams give the cottage character but if you are 6ft tall watch your head in places. I liked the WiFi and the digi tv and my daughter liked the ponies in the fields just outside. There are sheep and cattle nearby as well. There are a few pubs nearby and plenty of walks, however we spent most of our time touring about in the car. All in all it is an idyllic place to stay, just watch your head in places

- arabforbesie, July 2015
Mrs Cross April 2015

“The cottage, the owners and resident animals were all lovely.”

The area was great for coastal sightseeing and also for getting onto the moors for a walk. We encountered wildlife at every turn; from puffins and woodpeckers to barn owls, roe deer and highland cows. Spring has definitely sprung!

- Mrs Cross, April 2015
Mrs Hounslow March 2015

“A cosy warm, well equipped cottage with beautiful views.”

Ventress50 January 2015

“Hidden Gem”

I am torn about making this entry because I would rather keep this place secret! Weekend visit before Christmas. family two kids and dog. Log burner roaring away it couldn't get much better. This is our second visit this year having spent a week here in the summer. The cottage itself is fantastic. Spotless upon arrival with everything you need no matter how long your stay is for. Dont be fooled that its a cottage it is surprisingly roomy.Graham and Pippa are fantastic hosts, There if needed but not hovering in the background. Its a fantastic location for any of the main east coast resorts or simply some walking on the beaches depending on the time of year.. I would have no problem whatsoever in wholeheartedly recommending Honey Bee Cottage (Unfortunately!)

- Ventress50, January 2015
Mrs Hall December 2014

“The cottage is so beautiful and surrounded by the most wonderful countryside.”

The owners were extremely helpful with local information and nothing was too much trouble. We were made very welcome and it was so nice to be able to walk our puppy safely in the lovely grounds. We would recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a nice tranquil break and give it 5 stars.

- Mrs Hall, December 2014

Euan A March 2014

“Fantastic cottage with great views”

Summer Bee cottage has everything you would want situated in a quiet secluded valley not far from Robin Hoods Bay and is dog friendly. It has 2 bedrooms, central heating. The kitchen is well appointed with washer/drier, dish washer etc and even has a log burner in the living area. The owners are extremely friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. When you arrive there is a small tray of tea, coffee, milk and biscuits to welcome you. there is 1 double bed room with a comfy bed but you do have to mind your head as i found to my cost as the beams are very low. the second bedroom is 2 single beds. we have stayed regularly over the past few years and it has always been excellent. Thanks

- Euan A, March 2014
Mr Pears February 2014

“Friendly people owned the property.”

Really good location for walking and good pubs within a short drive or reasonable walking distance. The immediate area was really good for getting out with our dog rather than having to drive somewhere first to walk him. We all liked this property and will be looking to return later.

- Mr Pears, February 2014
Bridle January 2014

Loved the comfy main bed and bedding. All home comforts. Lovely touch of tea tray and Champagne for New Year! Small bedrooms are as described for small children only. Great starting point for access to fantastic walks. Lovely friendly owners. Love the farm animals!

- Mrs Tansley, December 2013
Mrs Sharpe December 2013

“The setting and peace.”

Location ideal, even for poor walkers, as access to Scarborough / Whitby and the Eskdale villages is excellent via car and still able to return to peace and quiet. Owners completely approachable for any help or information needed.

A FlipKey verified reviewer December 2013

“Beautiful cottage in gorgeous location.”

A very well appointed,cosy cottage in a lovely part of the countryside.We had everything we needed,apart from sunshine! A thoughtful touch was the welcome tray with local cookies,much appreciated. Very handy location for trips out into the stunning countryside and not too far to the shops. The owners were very friendly and helpful and their lovely dog,Ginny provided daily entertainment for our Staffy,Harry. His first holiday romance!! We will definitely return. Loved the Guinea fowl,sheep and Highland cattle too.

Kath M October 2013

“Perfect”

We had a 6 night stay in October and found the cottage to be clean and cosy. It was very extensively equipped with everything you could need - a real home from home. The views were beautiful, we loved the low window in the main bedroom where you could lie in bed and view the countryside. The other bedrooms very small but adequate, even for an adult we thought. Some low beams though so watch your head if you are tall - I was OK at 5 foot 2! We didnt try the log burner as the weather was beautiful! The owners are very approachable and offered good advice on local pubs and walks etc. Loved the guinae fowl peeping in through the bathroom window! Would recommend this cottage to anyone.

“Cosy cottage in a great location”

Honey Bee cottage is a superbly situated cottage, well equipped and beautifully decorated. The location while peaceful is still within easy reach of Robin Hood's Bay, Scarborough and Whitby. Plenty of areas for walks and children to play. The cottage itself was very cosy with lovely comfy beds and the luxury of a choice of a bath or a shower at the end of a busy day. Pippa and Graham who own the cottage were very friendly and helpful and both the children loved Ginny (the dog).

- adi_c309, August 2013
Mr Mason August 2013

“Fantastic cottage, hosts, scenery, and as it turned out, weather.”

The owners were very friendly and informative, and the cottage was stunning. There are very few places in the UK, or the world, that can hold a candle to the beauty of this location. And if you like animals, this place is a perfect menagerie with various farm animals, and enough wildlife to keep David Attenborough happy.

- Mr Mason, August 2013

Stayed in Honey Bee in early 2013. The property is lovely, spotlessly clean and well presented. Nothing was too much trouble for the owners - even digging our car out of the snow! Would go again without question.

“makes you want to return again and again”

I have just stayed at this beautiful and delightful cottage with my wife, daughter and dog for 3 nights. We were made very welcome by the owners who were also very helpful and forthcoming concerning what to do and places to eat and visit. The cottage is a stunnung little farmhouse style cottage. The amenities in the cottage are excellent and the tray with biscuits on arrival is a very nice touch. The location is perfect,tremendous views,peace and quiet and is not far from many wonderful walks. Ideally situated for visiting Whitby, Robin Hood's Bay, Goathland and various other places. Will definitely be going back, 10/10

A FlipKey verified reviewer September 2012

“Our stay at Honeybee”

The location was perfect,tremendous views,peace and quiet and not far from many places of outstanding beauty and national interest. The accommadation was very compact, the main bedroom was fine but the two singles were quite claustrophobic which was such a pity. It was difficult to even get dressed in them! and no storage. The owners were lovely, and very helpful, always around in case we needed anything. Ideal for a couple with two small children! Also great that they accepted pets.

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, September 2012
Mrs Keirnan July 2012

“The holiday was just wonderful.”

The house was gorgeous, the garden was just amazing and so safe for our children. The cows, horses and sheep were an added attraction and the area was so peaceful.

- Mrs Keirnan, July 2012
Mrs Tobler June 2012

“Our choice of Honey Bee Cottage made our holiday.”

While never at a loss for things to do in the area, we were always so happy to come home. It was lovely to be able to walk to Hayburn Wyke for Sunday lunch, or turn the other way out the door and access footpaths through wild flowers and down to streams. Whenever we missed our pets back home, the ponies were happy to fill in, but the highlight for my son had to be brushing the gentle Highland Cattle! I was delighted with the quality of all the work and choices of our hosts. We will always treasure the memory of our stay there. It is a special place.

- Mrs Tobler, June 2012

“A little piece of heaven”

This the third time that we have booked our holiday with Sykes and we can't speak highly enough of the company as a whole, from the customer services staff when you book your holiday,all the way throught to the owners of the cottages themselves. They are always friendly and willing to go the extra mile to make sure that you have a fantastic holiday. Honey Bee cottage is a little treasure, set next to the owners home and in acres of farm land, it was beautifully decorated and scrupiously clean,the decor was well thought out and in keeping with the age of the cottage. The owners were very friendly and offered up suggestions of where the best pubs and eating places were. The location of the cottage meant that we were between Scarbough and Whitby, so we were ideally placed to visit their beachs or drive over to the moors too Goathland and the Hole of Horcum. The best part of the holidays was waking up to the sound of cows mooing in the field behind the cottage, the breathtaking sunsets and sunrises and finding the owners dog Ginny outside the front door waiting for her home cooked breakfast sausage every morning and not forgetting the Highland cattle and the owners ponies that would gallop up the field to greet us whenever we left or came back to the cottage.

Mrs Strachan November 2011

“The location of the cottage was excellent as was the view.”

The owners were friendly and very helpful. The cottage itself was warm, cosy, beautifully furnished and the comfort factor of the double bed is to die for! The owners obviously have put a lot of thought and effort into making it a real home-from-home.

“amazing”

We loved the cottage. It was very clean and decorated to a very high standard. The cottage had everything you would need for a short stay, there was even a welcome basket with tea and biscuits and a fresh pint of milk in the fridge. My husband and I took advantage of the amazing scenery and walks in the area while the others went to visit nearby whitby and scarborough. Recommended for a relaxing break.

The whole holiday was absolutely fantastic. The owners were the best hosts, generous, friendly and helpful. Couldn't have asked for anything more perfect. The cottage was gorgeous and has everything you could need. It's location is superb and it's a perfect base for any location along the east coast. We will definitely return for another visit. It was difficult to get a mobile phone signal but we wanted to get away from it all so this was not a problem!

Miss Halfpenny April 2006

“We've never stayed in a cottage for a holiday before, we usually spend all day sight-seeing and only sleep wherever we've booked accommodation!”

It was lovely to relax and enjoy the cottage as much as we enjoyed seeing what we'd come to robin hood's bay/whitby for. It was fantastic value (we'd pay this to stay bed&breakfast), and similar to other peoples' comments in the visitor's book...we had lots planned to do outdoors but felt so happy inside that we spent quite a bit of time there. A fantastic short break!

- Miss Halfpenny, April 2006
