Brinkburn Cottage

What a gorgeous house this was!

! Love the wooden flooring throughout the house and the enclosed garden is an added bonus. So cosy and yes the main road is busy but you don't notice the noise in the house. The welcome pack was an added bonus as well. It could do with a bigger fridge/freezer but I suppose that is personal preference. Ideally situated for Whitby, Filey, Scarborough etc and two pubs near by. Had a really lovely week and we will definately be returning!!

Brilliant 5 days staying at Brinkburn, would highly recommend.

Plenty of places to visit and being on the main road to Whitby one way and Bridlington and Filey the other way, it is perfectly situated. I left my glasses and the ow ears returned them immediately and didn't charge postage. Everything was fab and we loved it. Thank you.

The property is on the main road to Whitby and was fairly busy morning and evening but the sound insulation was very good and it didn't bother us.

The cottage was well equipped, very clean and well presented. The garden was a nice feature especially as we had a dog with us. The stairs are very narrow and steep so we had to be very careful going up and down but everything else was very good.

This was our second visit to Brinkburn cottage and we will definitely be going again It is everything it says and the garden is secure for our little dog as well as having a lovely seating area The welcome pack is such a lovely gift and it really makes you feel welcomed

Our stay at Brinkburn Cottage was perfect The cottage was beautiful and had everything we needed The garden was secure so no fears of our dog getting out A welcome gift was left for us even treats for our dog, so thoughtful Definitely go again and definitely recommend this cottage

Nice clean character cottage.

Good location, apart from not being able to park outside. Steep stairs.

Comfortable and homely property, love the log burner and cosy front room, perfect for relaxing with a book after a walk along the beach.

Welcome pack is a nice touch too.

We had a lovely stay at Brinkburn Cottage which is an ideal base for travelling to the surrounding areas.

There are some fantastic walks around the area, the Cinder Track being one of them which is ideal for cycling also. The cottage is well equipped with everything you need for your stay and the welcome treats were a very nice gesture. There were even some for our dog too. There are 2 lovely pubs in the village which both do great food and are both dog friendly. Parking wasn't a problem at all and we managed to get a space in the layby near the garage. The road is quite busy but this didn't bother us at all. We would definitely come back to Brinkburn Cottage for another stay.

Lovely cottage ,clean and comfortable.

Good location for exploring the Yorkshire Coast. However, parking is just a short walk from the cottage this was not an issue for us but there may be issues for others for unloading/loading on arrival departure. A double banister would be good as the stairs are very steep. A lovely cottage and I would recommend.

Great property, well thought out and supplied.

Friendly, warm, welcoming feel ready for me and my party to enjoy our stay hassle free. Thanks

We stayed the week at brinkburn cottage .

Lovely welcome pack of biscuits, wine and crisps. It was so relaxing , very comfortable, lovely fully enclosed area back and front for the dogs safety . Well appointed property . Lovely log burner with a basket of logs and lighting equipment was a very nice touch . Cinder path very close to walk safely to Whitby or Scarbrough . We ate at the 3 jolly sailors 15 minutes walk away for amazing home cooked food dog friendly .our second stay and would definitely stay again 10/10

Lovely cottage ideally situated to explore the surrounding coastal towns and beauty spots.

Cottage was clean and had good facilities. Could perhaps do with one or two upgrades (TV, dishwasher) but everything worked fine. Very generous welcome pack left for us - thank you. The only negative was the main road that the cottage is on, which is extremely busy with HGVs and speeding traffic throughout the day. However, this wouldn’t put us off returning and didn’t affect our sleep.

A wonderful week away exploring the Yorkshire coast and countryside, made even more special by staying at Brinkburn Cottage, warm, comfortable, well furnished.

A real home from home. Will be booking another stay as soon as we can sort out dates.

If you want a home for home experience this is a great house.

It has an enclosed garden for your pet. One thing to look out for the twin room isn't suitable for anyone who is six feet plus. Ideal for kids.

Cottage was as expected, clean, comfortable.

Could do with a bigger freezer and should be mentioned that stairs could be a problem for some people not used to them. Know it's not owners fault but parking can be a problem as near by layby seldom had any room and parking on grass verge got complaints from neighbouring property, even though it wasn't affecting them!

We had a lovely few day away.

The cottage had everything you could need, it was clean and tidy, even though it's on a busy road you don't hear the traffic. It had a lovely self contained garden which was perfect for our dog. Overall we will definitely be booking again

Lovely little cottage.

Really enjoyed our stay.

Lovely clean comfortable cottage in a good location for touring the Yorkshire coast.

A welcome pack was provided which was a a nice touch

Comfortable.

Ideal location. Everything on site which you may need. Would recommend.

Third visit great location everything you need for a home from home experience

Wonderful stay.

A little gem very central to tourist sights. House was equipped with everything. Very dog friendly. The village has a pub in walking distance and a small village shop . Lots of walks available from the cottage ideal when you have a woof . Would recommend to friends

The accommodation is well appointed and provides everything you need.

We especially appreciated the enclosed yard for our dog which gives peace of mind as the property is on a main road. It’s an excellent location to explore the area. The coastal paths and nearby woodlands provide stunning scenery and the opportunity to see plenty of wildlife. Good local facilities including some fine pubs if you are prepared to stroll a little. The small local shop seems to sell everything!

A lovely little gem.

A beautiful ‘home from home’. Clean, tidy and decorated wonderfully. Perfect location to get to get to Whitby, Filey and many other places.

We have been trusting our cottage bookings with Sykes for our holidays now for over 8 years.

We had another great stay in Brinkburn Cottage. We spent Christmas in this warm cosy accommodation. The Christmas tree was lovely and the hello hamper including gifts for us all, treats for our fur-kid and chopped fire wood made for a very warm welcome. I prepared Christmas dinner at home and there was more than sufficient kitchen equipment. Burniston has 2 great pubs to the right of the cottage and 2 great pubs to the left both less than 10 minutes walk. The ones to the left have great food tested (excellent pies!) and are very welcoming of dogs in specific areas so book to avoid disappointment. The walk on the cinder path (old railway track) via Station Road 6 minutes walk from the cottage or 2 minutes in the car leads to a beautiful path to walk children, dogs or cycle any time of year and joins villages and/or local interest points along the way. Our wintery welly visits into Scarborough (North Bay from Scalby Mills), Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay will be memorable. Thank you for making our Christmas this year really special.

Very relaxing stay

Our forth stay at Brinkburn and a wonderful few days as always.

Cottage is spotless, warm and comfortable with a generous welcome pack. Thank you again and look forward to coming back soon! A perfect base for exploring the Yorkshire Coast.

We had a lovely week in this cottage very handy for the bus up and down the coast if you like to walk the coastal path.

Terry

The cottage was beautiful and very clean and tidy.

We had a fantastic week thank you

Absolutely fabulous beautiful cottage very very clean comfortable beds very comfortable above and beyond with absolutely everything you need for a holiday beautiful decor separate dining room lovely garden for dog washing machine and dishwasher added advantage will be booking again and again fabulous location not far to beach well done owners

Absolutely beautiful cottage, everything you think you need it had.

Bin bags, matches, torch, all cooking utensils, towels, washing machine, secure garden for dog, hand wash, buckets and spade, pegs, they even left us some Laundry tablets and dishwasher tablets. The cottage was spotlessly clean, comfortable beds one double and two singles, decorated to a tasteful standard. We actually took are fire stick for the tv but was a smart tv so no need. Left us a lovely welcome hamper. The location was perfect literally 10mins to Scarborough and 5 minutes to Whitby, park for the kids great pub three jolly sailers which served amazing home Cooked food 10mins walk from cottage. Parking wasn’t an issue we parked directly across on the grass however the road is extremely fast and busy but again the cottage had two secure gates. Would highly recommend and can’t wait to return The Sharman family of four plus Yasmine the dog who loved the treat they left her

What a lovely home, so comfortable with all needs catered for.

We will recommend to all our friends and hope to come back soon.

The cottage was lovely - clean, comfortable and welcoming.

Ideally located for ease of reach for Scarborough and Whitby. Great pubs within walking distance. Fully enclosed and safe for our dog. Only draw back was lack of parking near to the cottage which was tricky for unloading / repacking at the start and end of our visit. Rest of the time we parked behind the village hall which was a 2 minute walk away.

We loved our 2 night stay on the 14th July, Burniston is a lovely village and has 2 great pubs, We ate at the Oakwell and the food was amazing.

Cottage was perfect and we will be back

If you’re looking for a home to home experience this cottage ticks all the boxes.

The beds are very comfortable and there is everything you need in all rooms especially the kitchen. I asked a local regarding parking and they told me to park behind the village hall which we did all week it was much easier than the lay-by. When unloading and loading the car park opposite the cottage on Quarry Bank. We had an excellent holiday which was helped by the weather . We spent two days enjoying the sun in the back garden which is a sun trap . We will be recommending this property to family and friends for sure and Andrew and Marie we will definitely be back many thanks for an amazing time GordonJane and Charlie the cocker spaniel

We enjoyed our stay and wish we had booked for longer.

The cottage is well equipped and comfortable. It is well situated and we didn't have to travel far to the places we wanted to visit. The gardens are very safe front way and back way for our poodle which is important to us. We hope to visit again next year!

It was well appointed and everything there for a home from home welcome stay.

We loved it.

Lovely house Good beds everything worked good buses near by and access to walks along the coast Three jolly sailors is as good as everyone says it is .

parking is a little awkward but we got parked with only a very short walk.

Brinkburn Cottage provided a homely base for our long weekend in the Scarborough area.

On arrival, we found the cottage warm, welcoming and spotlessly clean. Comfortably furnished with everything that we needed. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch; we enjoyed the wine and snacks but also appreciated the Parking Disk - essential for trips into Scarborough! The Cottage provides an excellent base for exploring the area. Close enough to Scarborough for visiting the seaside yet situated in a village location with two pubs serving good food. No complaints but we do feel it's time to replace the keysafe, which was very difficult to open and we would have liked a lock on the bathroom door!

Really nice cottage and in good location.

Easy to get to Scarborough etc. Would definitely stay again

A quaint, comfy cottage with lovely comfortable decor.

The cottage was very clean, tidy and has everything you may need for a week away near the seaside and set in beautiful countryside. Some fabulous walks very close by and a lovely old pub in the village - The Three jolly Sailors - that served homecooked yummy food. A lovely welcome basket including biscuits, wine and a treat for the dog was provided - although some milk and tea bags would have been appreciated. An enclosed back garden for the dog to run around in and watch the cheeky squirrel pinching nuts from the bird feeder was great. Nothing that the property owners can do about it but the only downside was having to park over the road, albeit on a safe side street and the road traffic noise early in a morning and at teatime. Would we return - definitely.

Lovely clean cottage.

Tastefully decorated for Christmas. Everything we needed and more.

Super clean cottage.

Modern and cosy inside. Great location for families, playground next door, great walks and pubs. This was our 3rd visit to Brinkburn we like it that much!

Our third stay.

Beautiful cosy cottage. Thanks for everything.

We really enjoyed our stay, thank you for providing such a beautifully presented cottage (at such an affordable price too!

) We'd never been to North Yorkshire before and found the cottage to be perfectly situated to explore all of the areas we wanted to. The attention to detail was clear throughout plus all of the information thoughtfully provided, and the welcome hamper a lovely surprise on arrival. Our 3 year old enjoyed our stay too and keeps asking when we can return! The only thing we found a little tricky to navigate was the lack of parking with a small child and the cottage being situated on quite a busy and fast road. We fully appreciate that this isn't something the owners can control though! We look forward to returning in future :)

We had a lovely stay in the cottage.

It was very comfortable and we had everything we needed. We had a problem with the shower during our time there but it was sorted very promptly and a new one was fitted within hours! Would recommend this cottage as very well placed to explore the area.

We loved Brinkburn Cottage - it has such a lovely, warm feel.

The cottage was spotlessly clean and one of the most comfortable we've stayed in. An added bonus is the decor - it's really modern and stylish. The cottage is really well located for exploring Scarborough and beyond (Alpamare, Robin Hood's Bay, Sandsend, North Yorkshire Water Park). We struggled to get parked in the layby, but with two adults it was doable for one to get the kids safely in the house whilst the other unpacked the car.

Beautiful cottage, as described on the website, spotlessly clean, we enjoyed our few days there, easy access to lots of places, a couple of lovely pubs in the village with good food too.

Only thing we couldn't find was a kitchen bin, but we managed. We will definately recommend to our friends and will book their again next year.

Would 100% recommend.

Went above and beyond to ensure our comforts were met - would definitely stay again. Great location, great nearby pubs for food or drinks, enclosed garden perfect for a dog. We loved our time here! X

Very happy, drawback was parking and very busy road

A lovely little cottage Ideally situated for visiting surrounding attractions.

A good enclosed garden if you have adog. Very clean and comfortable. Can't wait to visit again.

A great property, perfect for a holiday near the sea.

Clean, comfortable and with everything you need for a relaxing stay.

This is our second stay at Brinkburn Cottage and it was just as perfect.

Very clean and comfortable homely cottage. The hosts Andrew and Marie had left a thoughtful welcome card and a hamper of goodies, which we very much appreciated. We enjoy walking and it's ideally located for exploring the Yorkshire coast and access to the Cleveland Way/Cinder Track without moving the car. We would definitely recommend and hope to return when next visiting Yorkshire.

Location was lovely, a very well presented cottage, only thing that let it down was the seating in the lounge, most uncomfortable , other than that, is was lovely, and will visit again

We had a lovely stay.

The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped. The owners had placed so many additional touches which were all appreciated. The decor is very tasteful, and made it feel more like a little holiday for us…the seaside ornaments, driftwood, shells etc. The built in storage adds to the charm. I would say the staircase is quite steep, just something we noticed with young children, but it wouldn’t stop us from staying again. My only feedback would be security of the front door as it’s a single lock. Perhaps an additional lock / bolt on the inside door to the porch. It would have just made me feel a little more secure with 2 young children in the house. Overall, a fabulous cottage, well located, and perfect for our needs whilst visiting family close by. We’ll hopefully be back in the summer.

Lovely comfortable cottage, beautifully decorated with lots of thoughtful features.

Lots of lovely places to go nearby and a very easy run into Scarborough. Parking was ok but relied on getting a place in a layby or over road so packing/unpacking was sometimes a bit difficult as it was a busy road but cottage had excellent soundproofing. Courtyard garden was childproof and lovely to sit out in even in February. Would definitely book again

Great cottage beautifully decorated, bed was great.

Really well decorated, and great for accessing all beaches, pubs restaurants etc.

Our second stay at Brinkburn Cottage.

Lovely cottage and such a great location for exploring the coast. Great hosts and such a cosy, spotless cottage. Really appreciated the log burner and the enclosed garden is great for our dog.

We had a wonderful stay at Brinkburn Cottage.

It was clean, comfortable and cosy. We especially loved the welcome pack, even Barney got some doggy treats. We hope to return to Brinkburn cottage some time soon! Thank you x

Lovely clean and warm cottage with everything you need for an enjoyable holiday with a lovely welcome pack thrown in.

Secure back garden which would be great for people with children and dogs. Close to Scarborough and a dog walk close by. Pubs within walking distance which served lovely pub food. It was a really lovely few days away. My only concerns were about parking and the noise of the traffic. We couldn't park in the lay-by no matter what time we tried - it seemed to be full of cars from the garage next to it , 24 hours a day. - so we had to use the other option of parking across the road. The road traffic was quite busy, and noisy - the cars and lorries don't seem to adhere to the speeding restrictions! However I appreciate that these things are out with the control of the owners but I d think that the fact that it's on a busy road should be in the cottage description. Overall we still had a great time and I would recommend this cottage

Gem of a cottage.

Cosy, stylish, clean and well equipped. Nice welcome pack was a great touch. Log burner was lovely during storm Arwen. Fantastic pubs in walking distance and dog friendly too.

We had a lovely stay at Brinkburn, and the house is a credit to the owners.

The cottage was lovely and the fire was lovely on the cold nights.

Location was excellent and the enclosed garden perfect for our little dog. Other than the very steep stairs and very uncomfortable mattress in the main bedroom and road noise as it was on a very busy road it was perfect .

Lovely cottage and had a wonderful couple of days.

Prime position for the local firework display on Friday evening (thankfully our dog doesn’t mind them). Comfortable and well-equipped cottage. Would definitely stay again!

Brilliant place to stay.

Everything and more.only thing needed was another rail on stairs and one on bath .Highly recommend to anyone.

The property was beautifully decorated throughout and very clean.

The location was great for Scarborough and the village had a couple of lovely pubs doing food. We felt very welcome and really enjoyed our stay. We would have no hesitation recommending the property

lovely cosy cottage

Very clean and tastefully decorated and well equipped

We had a lovely stay, the cottage was spotless and very comfortable.

There was a lovely basket of goodies waiting on our arrival. The kitchen was well equipped and the bedding was of high quality. We parked by a near by lay by which had plenty of space. We liked the secure garden for our dog, it was a shame the cottage only welcomed one dog as we would have liked to bring our foster dog. The cottage was a great location for us to walk the coast and get out and about, there were a few welcoming pubs near by which served nice pub grub. Would definitely recommend.

Gorgeous, comfy and spotlessly clean property with everything you needed for a home from home stay.

Great location for Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay, Scarborough, York and exploring the moors. Two lovely dog friendly pubs in the village within walking distance. Very nice welcome pack which is always nice to receive and enclosed rear garden perfect when travelling with a dog. The only downside was no parking at the property but there was a lay-by very close by or parking across the road so not really a problem and shouldn’t put anyone off booking. Would not hesitate booking again as we had a wonderful stay.

The cottage was the cleanest & freshest place we have ever stayed - spotless.

Smelt lovely. Everything you needed was provided & the beds were super comfy. The cottage is located on an extremely busy main road where motorists drive much faster than the speed limit so when leaving the cottage with children to walk to the lay-by it was a little daunting due to the speed & how close the cottage is to the road.

The cottage was lovely, the parking in the lay-by was sometime difficult & had to squeeze in.

The Three jolly Sailors pub did excellent meals and was friendly & inviting. As we had a dog with us it would be nice to have been given some advice as to where we could walk him off lead, we eventually found the disused railway which we picked up in cloughton and came out near the pub and was a lovely walk away from traffic as the cottage is on a busy main road.

Brinkburn Cottage is well appointed, spotlessly clean and comfy, with fun decor.

The rear garden is well fenced for inquisitive dogs! The owners are 10 mins away if you need them (we jammed the key safe!) and there is a frequent fast bus service to Scarboro Station (or North Bay) a few minutes walk into the village, which saves the hassle of parking a car. The bus also goes to Whitby via Robin Hood's Bay. I wish changeover days were not always Fridays, though - both journeys were awful, taking twice as many hours as a Thursday or a Saturday.

The only thing that I have noticed in years of booking with Sykes is most properties only accept 1dog.

A lot of people have 2 dogs that need a cottage holiday. I would suggest that when searching that you put a box that you can ✔️ to say not just pets but so that when we search we can say 2 dogs. Also most of the properties only say 1 dog . Maybe Sykes could ask owners to put 2 well behaved dogs in the future.

What a beautifully furnished cottage.

Equipped with everything you could possibly want or need and a lovely welcome pack on arrival. Lovely area near two great pubs and a cliff top walk. We really enjoyed our stay. The only thing I would say is because it is on the main road there is some traffic noise in the main bedroom (we had to keep the window open because it was warm) but if that doesn’t bother you then I would recommend very highly.

The cottage is charming, the little private garden was lovely.

The only awkward thing was parking. There was no room at the nearby lay-by and we parked opposite the cottage.This was not ideal as it is a small cut through road. We did eventually move the car to the lay-by when there was a space. Other than that we had a lovely break thank you .

Booked this house over Christmas and New Year period the owners Andrew and Marie even provided a xmas tree and decorations and a hamper the house was excellent everything was provided a nice log burner which was greatly appreciated we would definitely recommend this property 5 stars
