  • "Lovely cosy and comfortable cottage, We thoroughly enjoyed our visit."

    Reviewed by David and Paula13.3Dec 2023

  • "We loved mill cottagelitt is just as described and with little touches, like homade jam left for us."

    The cottage is central in the village, with two pubs, that are dog friendly thirty seconds away, butchers, chippy and a co-op nearby. It was perfect for us, being near all the places we wanted to visit. We would really like to stay again, but for longer next time. Constructive criticism. I was excited to find tea pots ( rare these days) but no tea cosy. No potato peeler ( my arm hurt using a knife) What a lovely little cottage and the owner obviously takes pride.

  • "We had a lovely stay in this little cottage."

    A perfect location for exploring the Cleveland Way and surrounding costal areas. The cottage was very comfortable and very well equipped with everything we needed. We especially like the garden which is enclosed and peaceful and great for our dog. Local pubs serve excellent food, butchers and chip shop right next door and bus stop with great service just a short walk from the cottage. Parking is on the main road but we never had any trouble finding a parking space close by. The welcome pack was a really nice touch thank you. Would highly recommend and would definitely visit again

    Two pubs, a butcher/convenience store and garage are within walking distance and it’s a 20 min walk to Runswick Bay. The cottage is well maintained and very comfortable. We stayed over New Year and it was perfect for a one week stay. Good shower, heating, log fire, comfy beds with high quality towels and bed linen provided, central heating and a log fire. It was lovely.

    No on site parking available but parking on the main road was fine. The secure enclosed garden was ideal for our dog. The cottage is well placed to explore the numerous beaches nearby.

  • "One of our most enjoyable weeks in the Whitby area over many years experience."

    A very cosy and surprisingly quiet cottage for its position on the main Hinderwell Road. The private garden was a perfect place for relaxation between trips and so quiet and peaceful. The lack of on site parking was a worry but loads of on road parking was always available. Very clean and the best holiday cottage shower I have used - good constant temperature and a surprisingly good water pressure. Top marks for the way the cottage was presented - an ideal spot for 3 people and a dog to have a wonderful stay.

  • "We had a wonderful time at Mill Cottage."

    It's in a great location to access all the main villages and resorts on the coast nearby... the x4 bus was invaluable to get us to all the places we wanted to go without driving and having to fund parking etc! The garden at the cottage was lovely and so safe for our cockerpoo Benji..ha has a ball and the flagged patio area was lovely to enjoy a vino or two on after a busy day! The cottage itself was lovely but just a little tired in places that's my only negative. All in all a lovely holiday!

Lovely area of Yorkshire plenty of walks and lovely beaches. Runswick Bay only a mile from cottage is well worth a visit.

    The location is ideal, very close to Staithes and Whitby, the dog loves the sea so we went to coast every day, go to sand send as great beach and only 29p parking for an hour, plenty time for dog to enjoy the sea. We then explored the moors, loads of lovely villages, and great walks, we had a fantastic week.

    Christine had every detail down in writing so everything and where to go was at our disposal. Caught first three days in sunshine on patio which was a sun trap. Garden very safe for my cocker.

    The cottage was spotless, quality bedding and great range of usable utensils in the kitchen ( sharp knives/ decent pans) . The log burner in the lounge made for a cosy evening & the local garage sold more supplies. BbQ supplied was used, and the Spar on the road in to staithes sold coal. The garden was a sun trap and full of little birds. Christine the owner was so helpful, great communication and left a wonderful welcome pack…. Even with mixed weather we couldn’t fault it.

  • "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

    The garden was a bonus with us having a dog and we could let her out without any problems. The only thing i would suggest would be to have either a freezer or a freezer compartment within the fridge as we struggled to keep what we had frozen wise frozen. The 2 pubs which we thought we were near only on served food and the other was only open 3 nights in the week which ment we had to travel further afield for meals out. All in all it was perfect place to stay, just enough room and everything to hand. I think it is relatively new to the owners so it does take time to get everything right but so far they are doing a wonderful job. We would recommend the cottage to our friends and family and Sykes have done us proud once again.
