11A High Street

Great location for visiting the area lovley village with lots of amenities Cottage very cute , well equipped and clean But would benefit from a little bit of TLC Abd either the heating coming on in the morning or a heated towel rail in the batroom as no way for towels to dry But would stay here again

Good location for visiting Scarborough, Whitby and other coastal areas.

Off road parking, light and airy living room. The welcome pack was a nice suprise. Property could do with a bit of decoration here and there. There is quite a bit of traffic noise as the property is on the main road.

We've stayed here a few times now.

Love the location and the area. Rather disappointed in the state of decoration as it really needs some TLC. Flaking paint on stairs, in bathroom. We had an issue with the boiler but this was fixed that same morning. Lovely welcome pack - thanks to owners. Can recommend Three Jolly Sailors for meals.

The house is very warm and cosy, sofa and beds were comfortable and it had a huge TV in the lounge which for some reason is hard to find in holiday cottages generally.

The house is in a lovely location with 2 pubs on the doorstep and close to the coastal path walks. The only negative comment I have is that the house could do with a little basic decorative TLC and needs a new toilet seat. Overall we had a lovely stay and we would book again.

This was our third stay at the property and we like the position, off road parking, local pubs, walking routes near by.

We will return

We had a great stay at 11A High Street, Burniston.

The property is exactly as advertised; if anything, it is more spacious than it looks on the photos. You enter via the back door (private parking space at the back gate) through a little private courtyard garden (a suntrap in summer months I would think). Through a small but perfectly formed kitchen, there is a sitting/dining room. The only thing I thought this room could use is a more comfortable sofa to create a reading area/separate seating away from the main lounge. There is a quirky, carved bench and while characterful, is not comfortable for any length of time. The only other thing needed was a bigger fridge but I appreciate the space is limited and we managed perfectly well. The kitchen also had other basics provided such as kitchen roll, washing up liquid, wipes, tin foil. There are also pegs under the sink. There is a retractable washing line outside. Through the hall way, and the lounge is a fabulous size with comfortable seating and double aspect windows making it a really bright and airy room. The fireplace makes this room really cosy. It's worth noting that all rooms have blinds and curtains making the house really warm and keeps the heat in. The central heating is also very efficient. Upstairs, the bedrooms are equally cosy and have plenty of space for storage. Plus really well thought out placement of the plug sockets etc. There is a hairdryer provided should you need it. The towels and bedding are good quality as are all furnishings in the cottage. Unfortunately during our stay the very local Three Jolly Sailors pub (across the road) was closed due to change of management but The Oak Wheel, about 5 mins walk away was open and we had 2 excellent meals there. The food at The Bull at Guisthorpe is also worth the visit. 11A High Street is extremely well situated for getting out and about and we enjoyed days out to Scarborough, Filey, Bridlington and Whitby. I would say although Burniston is a small place, the cottage is on quite a busy road and main bus route. This does mean there is some traffic noise but, that isn't any fault of the house. It suited us for the convenience of getting out and about but may not be for someone wanting complete rural silence. I would definitely recommend this cottage and would hope to stay again in the future. Thank you for having us!

Nothing negative to say about this cottage.

It is on a busy main road, but we knew that when we booked. Really lovely cottage, enjoyed our time in Burniston.

We enjoyed our week in the cottage.

Extremely comfortable. Great location for us being able to visit all the places we love in North Yorkshire. Parking is good. Pub across the road and round the corner were great.

A well presented cottage with everything you need for a comfortable stay, a great location for visiting Scarborough, Robin Hoods bay and Whitby.

An excellent cottage.

It has a very homely feel and you feel comfortable as soon as you arrive. It is very well equipped. It is very clean and well kept and maintained. The cottage was ideally situated for visiting the places we wanted to see. The bus stop is across the road if people prefer to travel by public transport. We loved the cottage and would happily return for another stay sometime in the future.

A very clean property everything you needed and lovely village And close to all attractions

A lovely cottage on outskirts of Scarborough.

So handy for coast and countryside. Really comfy beds, well equipped kitchen etc. Lovely welcome pack from owners. Outdoor space to sit and relax, which we could do each day, thanks to picking the warmest and funniest week of the year so far. Hope to visit again in the future.

Lovely cottage in nice surroundings.

Nice and cosy. Good welcome gifts and nice and peaceful.

Lovely property.

Clean comfortable. Just needs a check list after people have been. Check electrical items. Vacuum filters need changing smells of dog horrendous. Touching up of paintwork bathroom and down the stairs. T.V control faulty. Best to turn T.V off and then back on worked evertime. Lovely touches milk bacon etc. Check the dates Lemon Cake out of date. But still lovely touches. All in all just a few moans sorry.....

Lovely little comfortable clean cottage, great place to stay for exploring Scarborough, Whitby and surrounding areas.

The welcome pack was a nice,a lovely little extra touch and the added games and items in the drawers for the kids was also a great little perk. We did login to the cottages WiFi which worked and gave good internet service, however if you didn’t logon I think you would struggle to get internet as without this I was struggling. The pub over the road The three Jolly Sailors, food was lovely and our dog was welcomed too, so a visit here was fully enjoyed and I definitely recommend. I think maybe check out could be extended to 11.00 am as 10.00 am seemed a struggle with the kids in tow, but that doesn’t take away what a great place it was. Thanks for your hospitality, a great break first of many.

Excellent cottage, clean and well kept with a delightful enclosed small paved garden at the rear.

Ample parking space next to the perimeter fencing. Double bed extremely comfortable. Location great for visiting Scarborough and Whitby.

Here is a video on Youtube of the holiday https://youtu.

be/11Su48IUVYs?si=0XySEhlEe60TCEgm This was the third time. It rained a lot but we still enjoyed it.

Lovely cottage in a great location.

We enjoyed our week in Haven Cottage, very comfy & spacious accommodation, well equipped and an excellent location for visiting nearby Scarborough & Whitby.

Plenty of good dog walks and 2 dog friendly pubs in village, with great food and beer gardens.

We had a lovely stay in the cottage.

Very clean and tidy. Beds were very comfortable. Welcome pack was very much appreciated. The bacon was so delicious

Little gem of a cottage, clean and ever so comfortable,and warm, great little dining room and seating to take of your shoes, and get warm by the fire.

Kitchen is more than adequate, with a welcome pack that puts all others cottages to shame. Lounge was comfortable with reclining sofa, only little niggle probably need a newer tv, and it’s only my personal opinion. The bathroom was more than adequate. Bedrooms are beautifuly decorated with a double room and a twin room which actually makes a king size bed not a double as described in your listing on Sykes, this was a bonus as we are used to a king size, and is a big selling point!, maybe need to change the listing, they were ever so comfortable. We were ever so close to several great walks (cleaveland walk) and also the fantastic cinder path to all local seaside places, Scarborough 5 miles lovely walk. Thank you so much Sharon for a unforgettable stay, we will be back

We have stayed here 3 times altogether, and love the location.

Our only gripe really is that the two single beds are very small for adults but not sure the room would accommodate any larger ones ! The welcome pack is very gratefully received. The owner, Sharon, allowed us early book in as we were leaving a cottage in flamborough and had to check out at 10, this was really appreciated. Thank you.

Warm, cosy and had all the things we needed for our short stay.

Welcome pack from the owner was appreciated.

Very nice cottage, well maintained and all necessary amenities.

Good location for visiting the area.

Lovely exceptional clean cottage.

This cottage is in a lovely location 5 minutes from Scarborough. The cottage has everything and the owners left a special food package which was much appreciated. Would recommend to family and friends.

A nice place to stay .

All facilities supplied . Clean and tidy Downside where single beds ( very small and uncomfortable) Wi fi signal not good Tv remote very hard to use . Small niggles . All I’m all a pleasant stay

This was my second visit this year.

Here is a link to my youtube video of my visit in May. Relaxing in Burniston North Yorkshire. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11Su48IUVYs Lots to do in the area especially for anyone travelling from way south

We have had a lovely time we had everything we needed even a lovely welcome package the bus stop to visit are favourite places are just out side we would definitely come back and highly recommend 11a haven cottage thankyou

a very pleasant holiday home.

We really enjoyed it. We are already booked up to come back in August

Nice cottage, great location and clean.

Few little fixes that would make a big difference: - Shower, low water flow and difficult to turn on - Radiator in double bedroom broken (leaks if on) - TV remote works if near TV only even with new batteries Minor but would improve things a lot.

A lovely spacious cottage with everything for a comfortable stay.

Wonderful hosts, really helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Hope to visit again!

Second time of staying.

The cottage is very well placed being on main road opposite a pub. It would benefit from having drawers upstairs instead of a shelf. Also the fridge freezer could do with replacing instead of having a fridge high up in a cupboard. The shower is quite temperamental and difficult to switch on off. The twin beds are very small and not a single size so difficult for an adult to sleep in. We would stay again though.

Had a lovely stay, very comfy cottage in great location.

.. Just one thing, living room gas fire not working, but we coped fine

Wonderful

A clean well presented cottage warm and cosy.

We were well looked after by Sharon the owner nothing was too much troble. Great location ideal for Scarborough, Filey, Whitby etc. Two great pubs on the doorstep both serving great food. All in all highly recommend!!

Although the cottage was generally well presented, there were a few issues we came across during our stay.

The rug in the dining room needs cleaning or replacing as there are quite a few marks on it. There is also a large stain on the landing carpet and spots in the main bedroom. The front garden needs a complete overhaul as it is currently so overgrown, the front door is inaccessible. You can only get wifi in the dining room where the router is, the signal is lost as soon as you leave that room. I agree with a previous reviewer, the fridge/freezer is totally inadequate for two people let alone four and should be replaced with a full size larder fridge and the fridge above the oven replaced with a small freezer. We did mention a couple of other things (microwave, baking trays, kettle) to the owner as we discovered a wasps nest being established next to the bathroom window. This was sorted the next day though and assurance the other things would be ordered. Although it seems picky, little things like a set of plastic/melamine chopping boards in addition to the wooden ones, a casserole dish with lid, slotted spoon and a spaghetti server would be very useful. We tried to use the gas fire but it wouldn't stay lit (I believe other guests had the same problem). Luckily the temperature went up and we didn't need to use it. However, none of these things ruined our holiday, we thoroughly enjoyed the location and the off street parking behind the cottage was a great bonus, along with the sun trap of a patio. These shouldn't be taken as criticism but helpful observations as maybe the owners don't have time to examine everything when it is being rented out fully.

everthing was ideal for us a lovely property in a good location on a bus route so no need to drive.

The cottage had all the the things we needed for relaxing break thanks to Sharon

excellent cottage and in a lovely quaint village setting

We enjoyed our holiday very much it was convenient for travel to local areas and is situated in a very pleasant place.

The house is very warm and comfortable and we had no issues at all.

Overall, we found the cottage very adequate.

However the following was noted or would be appreciated: - the beds were a little tired - a handle on the wall to assist climbing in and out of the bath to get a shower would be safer - a smart TV would be appreciated - few bin liners would have been handy instead of just the one in the bin - a suggestion to exchange the tiny fridge freezer to a normal height fridge with no freezer - a suggestion to exchange the newish smallest fridge for a same sized freezer On 3 days/nights entering the kitchen, we saw some very large slugs, one in a cupboard and one getting into a drawer and others on the floor, these didnt get in via an open door etc as it was closed, we believe they got in via the rear of one or more of the kitchen units, we temporarily solved this by sprinkling some salt on them to kill them and onto various spots in the kitchen, we didnt see any again as of the salt but it didnt leave a nice feeling because of food being around, items in drawers and cupboards and kitchen surfaces, we felt we had to wash everything before using etc as slugs carry, if infected, rat lungworms that can be passed onto humans so with this in mind, the slug problem should be looked into by the owner even if it means pulling out the units as we believe there will be holes or badly sealed pipework/wiring etc where they are getting in especially with it being an old cottage, though this can be solved despite the age of the property. We do not believe they were getting in via the door open or closed. On the plus side, it is a lovely cottage and relaxing, we didnt find the traffic a nuisance at all, due to the thick walls. The garden was a lovely private sunny treat. There were lots of plug sockets throughout the property and it was nice and warm in the cooler nights. The parking was also adequate.

Absolutely fantastic cottage and perfect location

Cosy base.

Scarborough and Whitby close. Dog loved the cinder track into the wilderness and beck about ~1000M's away. I loved the pub about 50M's away. Cottage itself is comfortable and warm (if required), you don't notice the road traffic. Internet connection fine, TV is not 'smart' so take your fire stick/laptop for late night entertainment.

Had a wonderful stay, thank you!

The place was immaculately clean and had everything you need. Such a beautiful home from home can't wait to visit again. The welcome back was a nice bonus too! That went down a treat! Thank you

The cottage was very lovely.

Unfortunately it was in need of a good deep clean. Now this cottage allows dogs. We always take our dog with us but this is the first time we have entered a home and it to stick of dogs urine. It was obvious that dogs have urinated everywhere. The floor was so dirty we got out the unused mop and bucket from the cupboard and washed the floor several time. We continued to wash it each day but it did not help to lift the smell of urine. The full length curtains were stained where dogs had cocked their legs against them. If the task of deep cleaning the cottage was undertaken I am sure it would help but it has to be kept on top of.

We really enjoyed our stay it was a beautiful cottage and had everything you could wish for, on our arrival the cottage was spotlessly clean and the welcome pack was much appreciated, we will definitely be booking to stay again in the future

Booking with Sykes cottages was a dream such a easy process was kept up to date along the way we were very impressed and would book again without hesitation The cottage was just what we needed it was clean had everything there that we wanted the owners had put a lot of thought and care into the comfort for quests a fabulous welcome pack was most appreciated .

The cottage was very central for getting around the area we really enjoyed our much needed break. We will certainly return.

Had an enjoyable stay at this lovely cottage.

Only one little niggle the fire in the lounge wouldn’t remain on at kept popping off, however we did turn the heating up and was lovely and warm so wasn’t a problem.

An immaculately clean cottage and a lovely welcome pack from the owner.

I think that the listing should be updated by Sykes to acknowledge that the cottage is on a busy main road, as between the road noise and the renovations next door, it wasn't quite the relaxing get away I'd planned. Nevertheless, the cottage is near some beautiful places and we had a great week.

Lovely comfortable cottage in great location.

Welcome pack on arrival and comfortable single beds. Very popular pub within yards serving fabulous food and ales. Hope to return next year.

The cottage was roomier then we thought and was lovely and warm.

We found the beds to be very comfortable, as was the settee, and all was very clean. Little touches such as pictures and ornaments gave it a homely feel. Scarborough is only 2 miles away, Ravenscar, with it's stunning scenery is a 15 minute drive, and Whitby is a 25 minute drive. The North Yorkshire Moors and the Moors steam railway can be reached within less than an hour's drive. To see the Heather clad Moors flowering, visit in August, or visit Ravenscar in April or May to view the hillsides a mass of the golden flowers of the Broom and Gorse. All in all, a great location to tour the area.

The cottage was in a great location for visiting other places of interest.

The cottage was very comfortable and great location.

The welcome pack was very nice touch. I also had to call Sykes to change some details for the holiday and I was impress by the nice approach.

Great location.

nice pubs

Very homely, well furnished and decorated cottage

Our second stay here, if you want comfort with style then that’s what you will get.

Good cottage very comfortable.

On a main road so got a lot of road noise. Kitchen a little small.

Absolutely amazing cottage positioned just in the right place for exploring the gorgeous surrounding areas.

A beautiful well kept cottage ideal for a Christmas getaway.

We were very impressed with just how nice the property was, the pictures don’t do it justice. The cottage was nice and toasty for our arrival, the owner was extremely helpful and excellent at communicating with us. There was a nice selection of bits in the kitchen for our arrival, including a very tasty Yule Log.. a nice touch! The property on a whole was well furnished and certainly big enough for our family of 3, 2 bedrooms upstairs are spacious (1 double and 2 singles that can be zip linked together). Bathroom was always nice and warm with a generous sized bath. The living room again was spacious enough, the reclining leather sofa and the large swivel chair offer plenty of comfort. The dining area again was of good size with a nice big enough table that helped serve our Christmas dinner. The kitchen is a little small but not a problem for us, same with the garden patio but again not a problem, the fact it is well enclosed is a big plus. Location wise is pretty perfect, less than 10 minutes and you’re in Scarborough, plenty of walks nearby plus east driving distance to places like Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay and Dalby Forest. Overall we had an amazing break, so much so that we have already told the owner that we are thinking of re-booking for later in the year.

11A High street, Burniston, was just perfect for my wife and I, the cottage was ideal in that it was spotlessy clean and well equipped also there was off road parking, we took our boarder collie (Jessie) and found plenty of walks that just suited us.

We liked the cottage so much we have booked again , can't wait.

The cottage was lovely clean and cosy.

Great for walks and surrounding area. Car parking space at the back of cottage.

A beautiful, thoughtfully prepared cottage.

Highly recommend.

This is a very comfortable cottage and furnished to a very high standard.

One of the best cottages we have visited. Please pass this on to the owner.

Very comfortable.

..homely had everything that is needed...even an extra small fridge..

Lovely cottage bigger than expected nice and comfortable.

welcome pack a great addition. Cottage nicely decorated, clean and furnished to a high standard, with everything available. Two pubs nearby which both serve good food we preferred the oak wheel. Great location for trips out and about with the NYR nearby, and lovely countryside. A week is not long enough in such a nice cottage and county.

We absolutely loved our cottage, it was more than we were expecting.

The only downside we do have was the curtains in the bedrooms. Neither sets of curtains appeared to fit the windows correctly and the blinds were not of a good enough quality to block the light. Due to staying in summer months with small children when they wake up at the crack of dawn with the sun coming through thinking its time to get up! We ended up using some pegs to try and keep the curtains shut. Other than that the cottage was spot on, in both comfort, expectations and location

Very nicely recently decorated cottage, had everything we needed, nicely situated for Scarbough, Whitby, and North Yorkshie Railway and Hartbeat country.

Nice welcome pack, and dog friendly, only downside it is on the main Scarborgh to Whitby road and the traffic can be a bit noisy, also does not have a garden but a small paved area with a table and chairs, but would use again.

Great location for visiting North Yorkshire.

Lovely walks with the dog available from the cottage and great pubs with food at Jolly Sailors across the busy road and also at the nearby Hayburn Wyke. Lovely clean cottage with welcome treats on arrival. Would definitely return.

On the whole, this cottage was lovely, ideally situated for sight seeing and local amenities.

A superb welcome tray on arrival - the bacon was gorgeous but I never got to try the chocolate cake unfortunately. The pub across the road was ideal for meals and a pleasant afternoon drink in the sun - although it does get busy on Sundays. There are a few niggles - a DVD player would not go amiss, the back door lock was a bit sticky, no operating instructions for the cooker and the welcome pack could include a lot more info, especially around recycling glass and plastics. The only negative is the size of the fridge - they are not kidding when they describe it as small. There were 3 in our party and we struggled - if you expect a family of 4 to stay there then it is wholly inadequate.

We had a fantastic holiday.

The cottage was so lovely and bigger than we expected. It was clean, very comfortable and we were left a welcome pack which was appreciated. We only stayed two nights but would return.

11a High Street is a lovely house, very comfortable with everything we needed.

Would recommend a stay. Thank you.

The cottage was beautiful, everything catered for.

Had a welcome letter and cakes, bread, bacon, milk and butter also coffee tea and hot chocolate with biscuits too, dog treats if we'd taken a dog
