“This is the second time we have stayed at The Olde Cottage Nafferton and we have had a lovely time again.”

We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The cottage was very clean and we felt very safe. It is such a quirky little cottage. Nafferton is a great launching point for the visiting the area. The coast is 20 mins away and the likes of Malton, which we love, takes about 35 mins. We would thoroughly recommend a stay.

“The cottage is comfortable, it's old so the bathroom did have a musty smell.”

It leads off from the kitchen which isn't great - we didn't like this but it's personal choice. The log fire was cosy but needs attention, sparks were coming out at the back onto the brick wall. It was a good base for us to explore the east coast and we enjoyed our stay.

“Absolutely wonderful place for a holiday.”

Would love to return!

“Unfortunately having previously spent a week at a different cottage in Yorkshire we were really disappointed with our Nafferton cottage to the extent we came home a day early.”

The sleeping arrangements were absolutely fine but there wasn't enough comfortable seating in the lounge for us all to watch a film together. 1 adult and 2 children squashed on the sofa wasn't ideal. The main issue for us was the kitchen and bathroom which had a damp musty smell. We appreciate it is an old cottage but the bathroom needs some attention. The enamel in places was chipped on the roll top bath and we couldn't use the shower in fear of the shower curtain sticking to us....in current Covid times this concerned us. When you flushed the toilet, drops of water would often spill over from the cistern above. I appreciate it is an old style toilet but I wouldn't expect that. We were also unable to open the downstairs front windows to allow air to circulate. Another area needing some TLC is the garden, it could be such a lovely sanctuary to sit out in but alas we couldn't. All in all I felt the cottage overpriced for what was on offer. It could be such a lovely place.

“We booked the cottage as a stop-gap between house moves.”

The hosts were very accommodating, allowing us to squeeze an extra dog into the cottage. Living room is very cosy with the log burner a great addition! It is also next door to the local shop which is convenient, and is a stone's throw away from Petros at The Cross Keys - a place well worth visiting for food! As the cottage is c.1700's, the door frames are a little on the low side - as to be expected - so mind your head if you're tall! Overall we had a very pleasant stay.

“Cosy Cottage”

This cottage was lovely and clean and so cosy. Has everything you need. Shopkeepers next door very friendly and Sunday lunch at the Bluebell Inn was lovely. Theres a quaint duck pond at the end of the street. Its 15 mins to Bridlington for a lovely walk by the sea. Only downside for me as I have walking difficulties was the two high steps into the cottage and the ba The room being downstairs but I managed. The cottage was so beautifully decorated with a lovely Christmas Tree. Thanks to Alison & Rob. Would definitely go again sometime.

“Lovely cosy cottage.”

Very clean and has everything you need. Only thing for me as I have walking difficulties was the 2 large front steps and I didnt realize the bathroom was downstairs but I managed. Overall a great experience and owners very helpful and check on you while your there.

Mr Richens December 2019

“Very disappointed there was no logs or kindling to light fire considering the price and it was December and very cold would not put us off going again but think we would think again about going in winter as no point having a fire if you can't use it no information where to get logs from.”

Mrs Ritchie October 2019

“The Old Cottage at Nafferton is a lovely property.”

Very quirky and cosy. The garden is secure so perfect for letting the dogs out. It was a perfect size for me, my husband and our two jack Russell’s. The cottage can technically sleep 4 but it might be a tight squeeze for 4 adults, you could get away with children. The cottage has every facility you could ask for including a smart TV which was brilliant after days out at the beach and shopping. Nafferton is a great location for visiting lots of places such as Bridlington, Malton and even further afield is you wished. We would definitely return for another short break we felt very at home.

“The old Cottage was so comfy and cosy it was hard to leave for a day of sight seeing the beautiful area.”

The welcome pack of biscuits milk tea coffee so lovely flavoured mineral water and treats for our dogs were a lovely touch . The owner messaged us on our first morning to check all was ok which was very thoughtful. This won t be our last visit to The Old Cottage

“Shower is in keeping with the cottage but is difficult to use maybe needs updating.”

- Mrs Leeder, August 2019
Mrs Cunliffe August 2019

“The old cottage is a lovely place to stay and the locals are very friendly.”

The cottage is in keeping with the age of the property, the bed and pillows were very comfortable and the sitting room very cozy. The cottage was spotless and Alison the owner went above and beyond to help with anything we needed. The galley kitchen is a challenge as it is so narrow but this is not meant as a criticism. There are only one or two minor details that we feel could improve your stay at the Old cottage. the shower is over a roll-top bath and although there is a round curtain, when closed fully it sticks to you and makes showering difficult, when you don't close the curtain fully water escapes down the side of the bath leaving the bathroom and kitchen floor wet through. The only other thing was the garden needs a little TLC. We had a really enjoyable week at the Old cottage and would recommend.

Mrs Donnery May 2019

“Owners were in contact to make sure we were ok, lots of information provided to help us make the most of our holiday.”

Booking was easy and good value for money!

- Mrs Donnery, May 2019
Mr Quenault May 2019

“The cottage was lovely the only thing that let it down was the bathroom.”

When flushing the toilet it would either flush first time or took 3-4 times before it would flush which became annoying. Also the taps were hard to turn on and off for the sink and the bath come shower, when we did manage to turn them off they would drip continually. Everything else was perfect but these two things did spoil the holiday and would make us think twice about rebooking the cottage.

- Mr Quenault, May 2019
Mr Esser April 2019

“We really enjoyed our stay, well equipped kitchen, only missed a bowl, all rooms very nice and tasteful decorated , comfortable , made us feel at home at once.”

The house and garden are very charming , not too much modernised as many holiday cottages are, it could keep it's soul! We would love to come back and have that holiday feeling again, after days out in beautiful Yorkshire. We had a very friendly and helpful contact to the owner!

- Mr Esser, April 2019
Mr Hayes April 2019

“A wonderful and relaxing weekend spent at the Olde Cottage!”

! The cottage is beautiful and the owners made us feel right at home - including a welcoming telephone call en route. The village itself is also beautiful with two public houses serving wonderful food. Overall....highly recommended.

Mrs Goodwin March 2019

“It was an extremely cosy cottage in a lovely village and in a good spot for visiting many other lovely towns and villages.”

The owner was very helpful and caring without being intrusive. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Mrs Cormack-lendon February 2019

“I had initially booked this property through another bookings site but then realised on the day I was travelling that I had no confirmation or any information on how to access the accomodation.”

Sykes were brilliant at speedily creating the booking for me, contacting the owners and ensuring I had all the info I needed before I set off. The cottage itself is charming. Unfortunately I was not on holiday but at work in the area for 3 days, it was a perfect home from home. Very comfortable and homely with everything you need for a short stay. I particularly enjoyed the wood burning stove, Netflix availability and the convenience of a shop right next door. Highly recommended.

- Mrs Cormack-lendon, February 2019
Mr Barker October 2018

“Lovely cottage in the heart of Nafferton- comfortable, clean and well decorated.”

Great choice of pubs/restaurants in the village plus rail connection to Bridlington, Hull etc. Highly recommend.

Miss Lunn October 2018

“What an amazing weekend at the old cottage nafferton.”

The cottage was cosy and perfect for a weekend away with our 4 legged friends. Alison was lovely and really couldn't do enough for us during our stay, and the welcome pack even had treats for the doggys. Would definitely recommend this cottage and will be returning soon!!

- Miss Lunn, October 2018
NigelDPG October 2018

“Very nice indeed.”

We have just got home from here and we found it to be just right for the 2 of us and a dog .. you may find 4 people is a little too cosy. Clean and tidy with a nice little garden for the dog. Stacks of parking space in the road and right next door to a little Londis so you will never run out of anything. Easy driving to York city and the coast. The roads are never busy ! Fish & Chip shop 1 minute away and The Blue Bell Inn less than 5, and that's at a slow pace. Out of the house left down to the water and ducks turn right up the slope with the big church on your right ... the pub is there. Great selection of Gins and decent beer. There are other pubs but this is by far the best. Very quiet little village. The WiFi in the cottage is super fast and a little welcome tray of goodies awaits. Light the fire sit back and enjoy. We did.

Mrs Cooper October 2018

“We had a great time at The Old Cottage.”

The owner, Alison, was very helpful with instructions on gaining entry to the cottage before our arrival and also during our stay when water started pouring out of the washing machine during use! My husband alerted her and it was fixed that morning. The tray of welcome goodies was also a nice surprise upon our arrival. The cottage is comfortable, cosy and well furnished. The wifi is good and it was great to be able to access Netflix, BBC iplayer, etc on the tv. It is a bit of a trek if you need the loo in the night but to be expected in an old cottage like this. Nafferton itself is a lovely village. The shop next door was extremely handy. There are three pubs currently open. The Blue Bell Inn is very welcoming and cosy, they weren't serving food during our stay but well worth visiting just for the extensive gin list! The food at The Cross Keys is very good and the staff very accommodating and friendly. Dogs are welcome in the bar areas. We didn't get to try The Star. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the area and would definitely recommend The Old Cottage.

Mr Michell September 2018

“Wow! From the moment we booked everything was great - from the most helpful guide which was emailed to us after booking, to the friendly contacts from our hosts to check if we needed everything, to the little touches in the cottage itself, this was one to remember.”

The cottage itself was cosy and comfortable, the area was beautiful, we’ll definitely be going back.

Mrs Meynell September 2018

“Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Old Cottage.”

It is a lovely comfortable and homely cottage. Fully equipped with thoughtful extras and very tastefully decorated. The shop next door is most useful, and the rail links direct to the village were great. Would definitely recommend this cottage and would visit again.

Dr Barnard August 2018

“Had a fantastic stay.”

Lovely weather matched by lovely accommodation. A cosy cottage with a wood burning stove for a quiet night in. Super fast WiFi and Netflix added to the enjoyment. Having a convenience store (Londis) right next door made things super easy. Would love to stay again.

- Dr Barnard, August 2018
Mr Brown August 2018

Miss Swallow July 2018

“Quick, efficient communication with the host, beautiful home from home property with pretty enclosed garden.”

Easy access by train or bus to nearby places such as Bridlington, Driffield and Beverley in the village. Two pubs both with Greek offerings rather amazingly. Highly recommended by us and our two doggos! And thanks for the wine

About the location

NAFFERTON

Driffield 2 miles; Bridlington 9 miles; York 29 miles.

The village of Nafferton is conveniently situated in the pretty countryside of the Yorkshire Wolds, yet only 2 miles from the market town of Driffield and 9 miles from the seaside resort of Bridlington. A large village, with mainly traditional dwellings that cluster around the mere and village greens, it is served by three country pubs, a village shop, a post office and a fish and chip shop. The railway station there is only 2 minutes walk away and extremely useful; only one stop to Bridlington and four to Scarborough! This is a lovely area for gentle walking, exploring the countryside and visiting stately homes and gardens such as Sledmere House and Burton Agnes Hall. A short ride takes you to the popular east coast seaside resorts with their long sandy beaches, whilst the historical City of York, with its famous minster, is well worth a visit.
