July 2021

“The cottage is excellent, it is conveniently located, and is one of the few in Robin Hoods Bay with off-road parking.”

The only reservation is that the mattress in the main bedroom is too firm, making it uncomfortable to sleep in.

- Howard, July 2021
Doreen June 2021

“Location is excellent so peaceful and quiet with lovely views.”

- Doreen, June 2021
Debbie April 2021

“Fabulous and well located cottage.”

It's very warm n homely and a view that's just breathtaking. My only issue was the steep inclines down to the beach n then back to the cottage but then I'm from the south n we don't have these! You'd get quite fit. The surrounding locations are all lovely. You have the best of both worlds with coastline n moors. Just a fab location. I best mention they do great fish n chips!!

- Debbie, April 2021
Heather April 2021

“This is a fabulous cottage for families wanting to explore this amazing part of the country!”

! The cottage has been done up since the photos - a new kitchen with a dishwasher! The kitchen has loads of facilities and is open plan with the living room so it’s great for the whole family. There is a big garden, gorgeous decking area and a summer house for the kids. It is very clean and well kept - much better than expected. The cottage is round the corner from 2 pubs - one with an amazing beer garden with views over the bay. The centre of the bay is a 10 min walk, there is a post office/ shop with good supplies a 2 min walk away. We were blessed with amazing weather for April and really loved our stay at Heather Croft - we would highly recommend it and hope to come back

Colin September 2020

“I have been to Robin hoods bay many times.”

I booked Heather Croft for mums 75th birthday. I took here around the East coast to show her the beautiful views and bays. She was delighted with Heather Croft and her holiday. Thank you Karen and all at Sykes.

- Colin, September 2020
David September 2020

“Heather Croft is by far the nicest cottage we have stayed in.”

Although it looks quite small from the front view it is surprisingly roomy inside. Everything was clean and modern and the views from the cottage over Robin Hoods Bay to Ravenscar were superb and far exceeded our expectations.

- David, September 2020
Janet March 2020

“A beautiful cottage in a fantastic location, ideally located for walking the Cleveland Way to Whitby and Ravenscar and beyond.”

- Janet, March 2020
Sheila March 2020

“Cottage was lovely.”

Well equipped and fantastic view out to sea from the decking. It's a good hike, all up hill, back from the beach. We did have a problem... the boiler kept going out but the owner couldn't have done more to rectify the situation. We'd definitely stay here again.

- Sheila, March 2020
Gwen February 2020

“Instructions on how to work appliances would be useful and a TV with more than just main BBC and itv channels”

- Gwen, February 2020

Beautifully presented and very clean and as an army veteran I am very particular. Thank you for a great stay in your beautiful cottage

- Mike, September 2019
Kathleen September 2019

“Very expensive for one night stay.”

Lovely location and garden. Very bad smell in downstairs bathroom. Noisy freezer in kitchen, heard in living room.

- Kathleen, September 2019
Carl July 2019

“Excellent holiday cottage, great location with a beautiful view.”

Very spacious property, lots of kitchen stuff, books and games. Onsite parking is very useful. Its the second time we have stayed at this cottage and would stay again! Only negative: could do with little update and maintenance (upstairs toilet door doesn't lock, window frames and decking looking a bit tired). But as mentioned would stay again, no problem!

- Carl, July 2019
Talia July 2019

“Absolutely fantastic brilliant cottage couldn’t ask for anything better.”

would defiantly book again

- Talia, July 2019
Ruth June 2019

“We would just like to say how very much we enjoyed ourselves last week at Heather Croft.”

It is a lovely, well equipped, comfortable, deceptively spacious and well positioned cottage with superb views across the bay, and we hope to stay there again soon.

- Ruth, June 2019
Julie June 2019

“The cottage was clean and tidy and had all the facilities we needed.”

Overlooking the bay, the cottage is situated in an ideal spot for travelling to Whitby and Scarborough. There are some lovely walks in the area too. We thoroughly enjoyed our time ar Heather Croft.

- Julie, June 2019
Lynda May 2019

- Julie, April 2019
Max March 2019

“Heating arrangements not very good.”

place needs a bit of a make over.

- Max, March 2019
Gwen February 2019

“Bit of a Tardis this, looks small on the outside but is quite large on the inside.”

three bedrooms one down stairs two up stairs with shower/toilet room up and bath/toilet room down so ideal for families. Some jigsaw puzzles and games for children and adults to play and some good books to read if the weather is nasty however it was beautiful while we were there . Small but ample garden at rear for kids to play in plus decking area for nice weather and play shed as well. Be prepared for a difficult walk down to the harbour and back as the way is very steep ok if you take your time , exhausting if you try to rush. It would be a profitable idea if someone local had some kind of transport for taking people up and down the hill to the harbour/village for a small fee I think it would be very popular. All in all a great place i would recommend it.

- Gwen, February 2019
Daniel April 2018

“The cottage is a lovely and well suited for a quiet get away.”

There’s also quite a large grassed garden which is not shown on the pictures. There’s a large supermarket only 4 miles away. Would happily stay here again.

- Daniel, April 2018
Judith March 2018

“The cottage was good value for money and the main strength was the wonderful view from the living room and kitchen.”

We even sat on the decking once! It is spacious in terms of living accommodation and reasonably well equipped. The upstairs shower room is small and there is nowhere to put toiletries ( a shelf would help). There is more room in the downstairs bathroom , but a second shower over the bath would be a real bonus! The beds are fine and there is plenty of storage. The cooker is old and would benefit from an upgrade. Unfortunately the kitchen wasn't very clean when we arrived, but the owner was very quick to offer to remedy that. More tea towels would be nice. This is a beautiful area with excellent pubs and restaurants.

- Judith, March 2018
Martin January 2018

“A few minor repairs needed.”

Toilet flush in downstairs loo. Light switch in downstairs bedroom. New peice of hosepipe so that you can wash your car. Nothing major that would stop me booking again. We love this cottage and the owner is very helpful if you need anything.

- Martin, January 2018
Jane March 2017

“These days with people travelling from abroad I was surprised that there was no towels, hand and tea but no bath.”

We had to go out and buy some. It seemed strange because everything else was provided. All together a lovely stay.

- Jane, March 2017
Joy October 2016

- Joy, October 2016

- Ruth, December 2015
Marcia September 2015

“The location, views and privacy of this cottage were all excellent.”

The rooms were spacious and the decoration and furnishings were to a very high standard. The kitchen utensils/equipment were more than adequate for our needs. Another good thing was having a parking area on the drive for 2 cars. We would recommend this property to anyone wanting to stay in Robin Hood's Bay.

- Marcia, September 2015
Gary June 2015

“Everything was lovely.”

We were very pleased and would recommend Heather Croft to friends and family.

- Gary, June 2015
Helen May 2015

“Heather Croft was all we could have wanted and more.”

The cottage was a delightfully spacious place with a good view of the bay. We enjoyed the local eateries, walks, sheep at the bottom of the garden and bats at night. Not forgetting the variety of birds who visited every day. It is well located for visits to Scarborough, Whitby, Staithes and of course Grosmont is a lovely place to visit and explore.

- Helen, May 2015

“This was our third visit to Heather Croft.”

It offers everything we need and is in a wonderful position, with views over the rooftops down to the sea. It is a very warm, comfortable property and has a lovely relaxed feel to it. The added bonus is that it has its own parking, which is rare in Robin Hood's Bay.

Its location is great - super views and perfectly placed for touring around the area. The owner popped over to introduce herself and to ask if everything was OK, which was nice. It was Goth weekends in Whitby, which added extra interest to our holiday.

- Diane, October 2011
Michelle September 2011

About the location

ROBIN HOOD’S BAY

Whitby 6 miles; Scarborough 17 miles.

Robin Hood's Bay, with its narrow cobbled streets and quaint cottages, is one of the most picturesque villages on the English coastline. Situated between Scarborough and Whitby, this charming old fishing village is to be found nestling at the edge of a wide sweeping bay backed by spectacular cliffs and dramatic moorland scenery, and was once home to author Leo Walmsley. All holidaymakers will love the beach and its cliff-top walks, whilst more serious walkers will enjoy the many long distance trails that pass through the Cleveland Way, the Lyke Wake Walk and the Coast to Coast walks which all take in Robin Hood’s Bay. The village amenities are superb, with charming alleyways to explore and plenty of places to rest, relax and take refreshment. A perfect base for enjoying the Yorkshire Coast.
