The Coach House

The Coach House is a lovely property located in the very quiet and peaceful hamlet of Levisham.

Ideally placed to visit Whitby and Scarborough and the North Yorkshire countryside. We found the cottage extremely clean and thoughtfully decorated to a high standard. The super king sized beds were amazingly comfortable and there was plenty of hot water for four of us to shower each day. The EV charging point was a bonus for us too. James and his Mum were contactable if needed and very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our visit, we couldn’t have asked for anything better. A really lovely cottage and highly recommended.

We had a lovely stay in the Coach House.

Beautiful house in a beautiful place

Have been to the property several times and never disappoints

A lovely house situated in a remote village.

The local pub served fantastic food and was just across the road. The property itself was clean and quite modern the only thing it was missing was a coffee table or nest of tables to put drinks on. We ended up spending all our time in the kitchen as we wanted to play games and there was nowhere to do this in the living area. Would highly recommend and would definitely return

It was a lovely cottage, really well renovated and maintained.

3 small points - the outside space was limited and rather overlooked by neighbours; the sofas were a bit too modern (long and low) for older bones, and the very detailed instructions for finding the property were a bit redundant because none of the roads in the village are named on the ground.

The coach house is spacious and a lot of care has gone into the decor which is very well done, with lots of nice little touches, the house was warm with plenty of hot water, kitchen was well equipped and the private parking was a bonus, it deserves its 5 stars.

I would definitely recommend this property and the lovely village that it’s in, with its nice walks, if I had a criticism it would be one of the sofas could do with replacing or re upholstering and a nice nest of small tables to be added, so you don’t feel the need to put a cup or glass on the floor. I would like to thank Louise who lives next door who was friendly and helpful. We throughly enjoyed our stay.

A beautiful cottage in a fantastic location.

It was very quiet as Levisham is really on a no through road, so very little traffic. The furnishings were very high quality and comfortable. We loved the ‘Aga challenge’ and the kitchen was always toasty warm. Our only issue was that the cafetière was a one person one, so we had to drink our morning coffee in shifts. I have passed this onto the owner and housekeeper. We had a super time walking, how lovely to have so much so close. The boxed set of OS walks in the cottage was very useful. We’d definitely recommend this cottage.

This was our second stay, fabulous property, everything we needed, very comfortable, warm and in a fabulous location.

Coach house was clean, lots of hot water and warm.

This accommodation is first class and I would recommend it to friends and family. We had a small issue with the television not working and when we contacted the owners, they rectify the problem quickly, thank you Sally and James. Also thank you for providing a casserole dish, which I used in the aga to make some delicious dishes.

What a great find this cottage is!

We visited with another couple. This cottage is extremely well equipped and very clean. The beds were very comfortable. Just one sofa wasn’t to our comfort but appreciate that can be subjective. Please consider adding a small nest of tables to avoid popping drinks on the floor. Location is fabulous. The neighbours were very friendly. Parking and electric charger were a great to have access to. We will definitely return. Thank you for a lovely stay. One of the nicest places we’ve ever stayed.

This was our second stay at the Coach House.

This is first class accommodation in a delightful and picturesque village. It is North Yorkshire at its best and if you are looking for a vacation in the rugged and hilly beauty of this national park then try the Coach House. We will be returning! Thank you James.

Very nice accommodation - everything we needed was there.

Beds are comfy and the shower is great. Having a place to charge the car is a plus. The next door neighbour is also very friendly and helpful. Only a couple of negatives: the heating can be hit and miss, and the sofas are not wonderfully comfortable. Overall a great place to stay - this was our second time.

Lovely cottage kitted out to the highest standard.

I could easily live here, I would highly recommend it to anyone intending staying in the area.

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location.

The Coach House is a lovely cottage and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in what is a very comfortable and high quality property.

Situated in the quiet and beautiful village of Levisham it is within easy reach of many North Yorkshire Moor and Coastal attractions and activities. Returning back to The Coach House each evening is an adventure in itself and a treat not to be missed.

The Coach house is a beautifully restored cottage situated in the pretty hamlet of Levisham.

The property has been totally renovated in the last few years and no expense has been spared in the standard of the accommodation and the fittings within it. As an example there is a gorgeous electric AGA but if you are wary of this there is also a fitted fan oven microwave, Ana induction hob. A new router was fitted during our visit and after this the wi fi was brilliant, probably due to a new mast being installed locally a couple of years ago. Thank you James and Sally for letting us use your beautiful cottage and also for the help during our visit. It was also nice to meet your neighbour Louise.

We have put it as 4 stars as there was a few things which we thought could be a little better.

For example the cottage could do with a little more attention to the cleaning ie lots of dust on skirting boards and cobwebs on light fittings. The microwave/oven and 2 zone hob we thought would have been better in the kitchen also the WiFi connection isn't very good, only had it for a couple of days but despite these things over all the cottage was comfortable and the surroundings were lovely. The pub across the road is a very friendly welcoming place to go for lovely fresh cooked meals. So over all we would not hesitate to recommend to friends, family and to return ourselves.

I have text James the owner privately but have received no reply or reassurance that the following will be rectified, so I have no option other than to go public.

I do not recommend this cottage to anyone who plans on cooking here. The cooking equipment is non existent and the appliances are split between two rooms, one being the utility room with only two hob rings, away from all utensils (which were good) but no serving space. The electic oven is also in the utility room. So you are running backwards and forwards between the utility room and kitchen whilst cooking. There is no equipment for making a cooked breakfast or a stir fry for 4 people and there are no casserole dishes. There is one baking tray, rusty, and some good pans but one needs replacing. Two more hob rings are in the kitchen once you have discovered how an aga works. Only one half of the toaster works and the kettle badly needs descaling. Incorrect wi fi connection details, no obvious welcome and information pack. This was discovered later in a corner. I have since corrected the wi fi connection details in the information pack, with the help of a neighbour. I phoned James, all he suggested was to use our own roaming data. The heating was good when it worked, but it did not work for the last third of the holiday. The beds are bedding were excellent, but the pillows need replacing. And the main setee in front of the tv is uncomfortable. This cottage is not looked after in the hands on homely sort of way that we have come to expect at Sykes properties. And whilst the bottle of prosecco on arrival was a nice gesture, a pint of fresh milk would have been more practical (as we have become accustomed to with Sykes). The shops are 7 miles away. We are regular customers of Sykes, returning each year for about the past 5 years. This clearly felt like a case of "We've got your money, and now we don't care". Rosie Griffiths

Couldn’t fault the property or the beautiful village.

Guests should be aware that Levisham is at the top of a twisty, sometimes narrow, road with 20% gradient. We found that drive hard work every day (being on our seventies). Only one walk possible from the property owing to the hills.

Beautiful cottage, well equipped and comfortable in a quiet rural location; the owner of the cottage has thought of everything down to the last detail.

Highly recommend.

We had a lovely stay at The Coach House.

It had everything we needed and was very comfortable. In a great location with walks from the door and the village was extremely peaceful.

The cottage was fabulous, with everything we needed and very tastefully decorated, it made us feel very comfortable.

The locals were all very friendly and we had a lovely meal at the nearby Horseshoe Inn. It's an ideal location to take local walks around the forest and the moors, but we also took day-trips to Whitby, Scarborough, Castle Howard & Dalby Forest which were all enjoyable. North Yorkshire has many things to offer, especially the beautiful scenery. Pickering is very convenient for buying the groceries and also doing some tourist shopping. All-in-all we had a wonderful time, and would highly recommend the Coach House for a short break.

Roomy, comfortable and beautifully finished property, very stylish.

Village very peaceful (at least it was when we were there, out of season, may get busier during main holidays) and picturesque. Walks from the door in all directions, up onto the moors or down into the wooded valley and to the next village.

A wonderful cottage that is beautifully decorated and well equipped.

The cottage has fantastic walks from the doorstep and is just across the road from a great village pub which serves delicious food. We will definitely return

This is an excellent cottage of a very high standard.

Our stay was lovely and just what we wanted. However, the fact that cooking is done on an Aga must mean that most visitors would have very little idea what they are doing. Luckily one of our party is a chef and had used them before but it is a very different way of cooking. It would have helped if there was some form of instructions on how to use it and not just how to turn the different parts up or down. Also we were not allowed to turn the radiator valves up or down to regulate the temperature in specific rooms. We like a cool bedroom to sleep in and having to get up as soon as the heating turned on to turn it down was a pain. If there was a reason that the radiators couldn’t be adjusted it would have been nice to know what it was. Lastly, and this is a little picky there was no organization to the drawers and cupboards in the kitchen. This is probably because visitors have to clean up and put things away before check out and they’re not going to be bothered where they put stuff. Would we stay again? Yes we would. It’s a beautiful, quite location and a lovely cottage to stay in.

Excellent holiday property, clean modern and luxurious - we would definitely stay again.

Lovely cottage, but not cleaning in the corners or behind bath

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Coach House.

The location is perfect for exploring the area. The property is absolutely beautiful and the owners have clearly put a lot of thought and care into providing everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. It was a real home from home and we would definitely love to return for another stay. A special mention must also go to our lovely neighbour for the week, who went the extra mile to ensure we felt welcome and had everything we needed.

Beautiful cottage in a lovely village.

Good base to visit the surrounding areas

An exquisite property in a rural idyll.

We were delighted to find ourselves in a recently decorated/furnished character property that was maintained at an extremely high standard. The lady next door was warmly welcoming and helpful to us.

A beautiful house in a beautiful village.

This is a very tastefully decorated cottage with all home comforts and in a lovely, quiet setting. The beds are very comfortable and it is all very clean and well-equipped. We really enjoyed our stay in the Coach House. (A special thank you to Louise).

A beautifully equipped and furnished cottage in a lovely quiet location on the edge of the moors.

It has a lovely outside seating area and is a stones throw from the pub with its friendly staff and good food. The cottage is ideal for visiting the North York Moors and coastline, and for trips on the North Yorkshire Steam Railway. The station is a five minute drive or a lovely half hour to three quarters of an hour walk away depending on direction as it’s steep in places. The owners are most helpful and obliging.

A beautifully appointed cottage in a lovely location.

It was ideal for the two of us. It would benefit from a shower in the second bathroom and occasional tables in the sitting room. Conventional chairs would be an improvement in the kitchen dining area.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Coach House.

the cottage was beautiful and had some lovely features and everything we needed, and and in a lovely setting. We certainly appreciated the Prosecco and other things left. It is the 1st time we had done a cottage holiday and we will certainly be doing it again. The cottage was very clean but your cleaning staff certainly missed a lot of the finer points.. as some things were very dusty. If we come to the area again we would certainly see if the Coach House was available. A really lovely stay and the Horseshoe Pub being a few yards away was an added bonus.

Great to be back for our 3rd stay at the Coach House.

Lovely, spacious and well appointed cottage in a convenient position for walking, steam trains and the local pub. Useful to have the EV charger on site, although we didn't use the car that much as there are plenty of walks from the front door.

If we had known that the cottage was up a steep hill and hair pin bend, we wouldn't have chosen this cottage.

On arrival milk, tea, coffee and biscuits was appreciated. Heating was a little too warm for us and thermostat kept turning it back on. Bath and blinds in bathroom weren't cleaned to a high standard. Bed in larger room wasnt very comfortable. Overall the cottage itself was lovely, just in a location that we wouldn't have chosen (more research needed next time). Also parking was a bit tight and the garden was overlooked by neighbours property. Neighbours were very friendly. Appreciated monopoly board, son enjoyed this. The cottage has some lovely features, unfortunately for us we wouldn't visit again

This was the second time me and my family have stayed at The Coach House and it was just as fantastic as the first.

We love the property and all the finishing touches which are to such a high standard. Our 2 year old son has had the best week looking at all the animals and exploring on all the walks we done, straight from The Coach House’s front door. We have all had a week of amazing sleeps in the comfortable beds at The Coach House which made the holiday for us. The Horseshoe Inn was a great pub to stop off for a drink after a nice walk, and we also had some lovely meals there when I wanted a night off from cooking, with the added bonus of a 30 second stumble home. 10/10 from us and we are already looking to book another week. We love it at The Coach House

Perfect!

Could not be happier with our few days away at the Coach House. May have another stay in the summer months! Highly Recommended.

A perfect location from which to explore the North York Moor on foot and by car.

Spotlessly clean cottage and very well appointed. The AGA range requires meal planning if used but the hob and ovens by the front door adequately allows for some good Yorkshire food,

We enjoyed the Coach House so much last last year that we came again this year.

We enjoyed it just as much this time - many thanks!

We couldn't have been more at home for the week that we spent at The Coach House.

It was so comfortable and the location was perfect.

A beautiful cottage in a perfect location

A lovely cottage that unlike many holiday lets has rooms of a generous size and places to store things.

On your doorstep there are great walks, a cracking pub and a steam train10 mins away.

Superb cottage, a seat/bench outside the front door would be a nice addition

We really enjoyed our stay in the Coach House.

The Boot room on entrance was perfect for casting off muddy boots and we made use of the oven on a couple of occasions. Really appreciated the bottle of wine , fresh milk and flowers. Very welcoming. Loved the look of the Aga but we weren't planning on cooking so we didn't try it out. Good shower upstairs and the bed was very comfortable. We really enjoyed having a smart television - great size - and the sofas in the spacious lounge were very comfortable. All in all everything was great. I did have to clean the shower before we used it and the bedding could do with being replaced. Apart from these criticisms , it was a most enjoyable holiday in a lovely village with a great pub/restaurant.

Absolute perfection!

The Coach House lived up to the pictures and then some! Super stylish, super clean with all mod cons in a beautiful village. We met the owners who were lovely, as were the other people we talked to who live in the village. We cannot recommend this property enough! We can't wait to return to The Coach House. Thank you for an amazing holiday!

This property is of an extremely high standard.

The furnishings and fittings have all been carefully thought about and no expense spared. A most comfortable holiday rental in a lovely village with easy access to the moors for super walks.

A lovely property with many stylish features.

The kitchen equipment could do with an update and a decent sized freezer would be better than the very small compartment within the big fridge . There was a lot of dirty crockery and glasses unfortunately . The local area is beautiful and we would most certainly return .

A lovely cottage.

Modernised to a very high standard in a lovely location.

Excellent property very comfortable and clean.

Lovely location. Would highly recommend.

Just returned from a 4 night stay at this stunning cottage.

One of the nicest places we have stayed! Everything is of the highest spec and the place is immaculate. Everything has been thought of, making it a comfortable and relaxing place to come back to after some stunning walks (accessible from the village) or mountain biking in Dalby forest (highly recommend!). The pub that’s a stones throw from the property is cosy with some lovely pub grub on offer. All in all if I could give it more stars I would…we’ll be back soon!

Had a wonderful week over Christmas at The Coach House.

A beautifully restored cottage tastefully decorated to the highest standard, very well equipped & set in a quiet village with stunning views & lots of walks from the doorstep. Only a few minutes drive to the North Yorkshire Moors steam railway giving further access to more pretty villages & opportunities to explore the National Park & east coast. The local pub is just a walk over the road offering good ale & grub along with a warm welcome! This property met all our needs, it was clean & the Christmas decorations added a cosy, homely feel. Superb break! One to return to.

Levisham Luxury: We very much enjoyed a fantastic week's stay with a taste of luxury at The Coach House.

The cottage had everything we could need - & all to a very high standard. Levisham is a quiet village with a great pub for eating & many excellent walks from the doorstep, as well as nearby in the National Park. It suited us perfectly.

We had a lovely week at the Coach House!

Such a beautiful cottage with absolutely everything we needed. Beautiful furnishings, so many lovely touches and really comfy.

Lovely cottage, beautifully decorated and furnished.

We had a great time and can fully recommend this as place from which to explore the North York Moors.

Great location, easy access to North Yorks Moors & surrounding attractions.

Apart from parking being a little tight at the property for bigger cars, it really was a wonderful property to stay in. A little history on the property is always welcomed.

As other people have mentioned the two ring hob in the boot room needs a work surface, I found cooking between two rooms awkward.

The table and chairs in the little garden could do with improving, the bench against the building was better. A superb place to stay, one to go back to.

I booked this cottage for my wife and I as a mini break for our silver wedding anniversary - and what a good choice it proved to be!

Lovely quiet, rural location situated in a small village. The owner has modernised the property superbly without spoiling its rustic charm. Very spacious, well equipped and wished we could have stayed longer! The nearby pub serves good quality food and a trip on the nearby steam train is a must! Just be warned, the only road in and out of the village is a bit scary at first with its 1:5 incline and hairpin bend!

A wonderful cottage in a truly idyllic location with a super friendly landlord at the local pub just a stroll away.

The cottage had everything we could have wanted to make the week so enjoyable. Thank you to the hosts. This is possibly the best cottage we have rented from Sykes.

We did enjoy our week in Levisham which is a delightful village, very quiet, and with ample walks in the area.

This property has been converted to a very high standard with top of the range equipment and fittings. The entrance/utility with boot bench and coat hanging space was very practical. The kitchen was a good size and well equipped (really liked the good supply of “herdy” mugs) but cooking on the two ring induction cooker in the utility room with no usable work surface was a chore. What we really missed was a kitchen cupboard for storing food and a decent shelf in the bathroom for toiletries. This is a really well presented cottage with lots of smart features, but the garden when we located it, was disappointing. If like me you are ready for a cup of tea at the end of your journey make sure to bring fresh milk with you, the welcome pack contains a few sticks of UHT milk and there are no shops close by.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful village.

Excellent walks from the door.

The house and area are stunning.

The house was clean and well equipped with some lovely additional touches. It is picturesque. There are beautiful walks and drives close by. We would definitely return.

A beautifully refurbished house in a great location with very friendly owners and for a fair price.

10/10

Excellent property, really beautifully decorated and brilliant facilities.

We had a great long weekend and the children requested to come back and stay in this house again! We will definitely be back.

Lovely well kept property, immaculately clean & welcoming looking forward to returning in the future.

An absolute treasure of a holiday home!

!

Second time we have been to the coach house it's a beautiful place,well equipped and very comfortable, we enjoyed both times, this time my sister's and husband came and stayed at a lovely bed and breakfast right next door called Hall Cottage, it was my birthday so I had a lovely surprise we went out for a meal together to celebrate my birthday, lovely for my Mum to have us all together, I would say try it it's one of the best, very quite, and great location to go walking.

The only thing my wife complained of was the lack of a hairdryer.

On past experience if these are missing they have been taken by previous guests

The Coach House is probably one of the best equipped and furnished properties that we have stayed in.

The attention to detail was excellent, and obviously refurbished to a high quality with good heating system and facilities, including Aga, second oven, induction hob,. Location is excellent, with good walks from the village and a quiet environment with easy access to the local pub (The Horseshoe Inn- advanced bookings for meals indoors are advised). A very helpful friendly neighbour - and secure parking. At the time of our stay daily newspapers could be ordered from the Village Hall by a phone call. We would not hesitate to recommend this property

This is an extremely comfortable and stylish holiday home in a lovely small village.

It was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Very highly recommended for a special weekend or longer holiday.

The Coach House is a beautiful, homely, cosy cottage in a picture postcard village on the moors.

We had a fantastic week with moorland walks, trips to Whitby, York and Cayton Bay plus lots of fun in nearby Dalby Forest. We’d definitely return- thank you for a great holiday!

This property was absolutely stunning.

Both the standard of fittings and location were excellent. All very modern appliances and well planned. Nice areas to sit out. We do self catering holidays regularly and this is up there as one of the best. Didn’t use the car all week, but walked out from the cottage door. Numerous beautiful and varied walks.

Good cottage, good location.

However I have serious reservations about the Friday to Friday booking. It normally takes me a comfortable five and a half hours (on a Saturday) to get from home (Kent) to the North York Moors. This time on a Friday it took nearly eight hours to get there and the return almost as long. No accidents or breakdowns just pure volume of traffic. Please tell me why this trend of Friday to Friday has come about. I can see no benefit to the customer what so ever. In future bookings (we normally book a cottage twice a year) a Friday to Friday offering will only be booked as a last resort or not at all.

Beautiful cottage with everything thing that you need.

It is in a stunning location. A real tranquil place where you can experience a real feeling of peace and quiet. Lots of walks from the cottage through beautiful countryside. A lovely village pub on the doorstep too where you can enjoy a nice meal. Couldn’t ask for a better place.

This is an exceptional holiday property.

A beautifully converted coach house with top of the range appliances, furnishings and beds. It is located in a lovely village with an abundance of walks and local countryside to enjoy. Highly recommended - just a pity the pub wasn't open but hopefully that may change soon.

The Coach House is an absolute gem in the North Yorkshire Moors.

Just wish we had booked to stay for longer! We stayed for a few days just after the Covid road map let us go away again and it didn’t disappoint in anyway. The Coach House has been done up to a high spec but hasn’t lost the ‘homely comforts’ that you want from a home from home. It was a real find in terms of its interior and location for discovering the area. The only downside was that the village pub, which is a minute stroll from the property, wasn’t open whilst we were there. But just another reason to go back!

Beautiful property in a beautiful location.

Comfort and cleanliness exceeded expectations.

We, my wife and I and our two friends really enjoyed our stay at the Coach House.

It was a truly great get away. The Coach House was full of everything you would have at home, plus a great Aga, which we have never used before, our wives came away with thoughts of their own for Christmas. Another plus was how it kept the cottage lovely and warm, great when getting back from a walk. There is even a trough outside for cleaning your boots. The neighbours next door were very helpful in explaining places to visit and supplying local maps. Lastly the village itself is small but lovely, topped of with a pub, the Horeshoe, where we enjoyed a lovely meal, and felt very safe during the present situation.

Everything was perfect except the weather :) that's not under control of the vendor.

If anyone wants a comfortable relaxing break away from reality this is it, There are some good walks to go on (weather permitting) if you can tear yourself out of the wonderful enormous bed :) Congratulations to the owners for getting this just right :)

Booked this place for my wifes 50th birthday weekend.

The cottage was beautifully decorated with quality fittings, very cozy and was equipped with everything you could think of. A great place for chilling with the family with a lovely pub with friendly service within walking distance especially as the weather was so wet that weekend. The only small thing missing was long mirrors in both bedrooms but having said that I would most definitely recommend this place to friends and family....book it you will not be disappointed!

Immaculate accommodation, very comfortable for 4 people.

A nice setting in a lovely villlage.
