Sunny Side

Sunny Side is beautiful, and we loved it.

Close to several wonderful beaches and villages. My sister fell in love with the kitchen and we were both enamoured with the bathroom and shower room tiles. The comfortable beds gave us both good nights sleep. One small point, we ratchet up 157 years between us, and a non-slip mat, or a safety handle, in the bathroom would have been welcome. Everything else was great. We'd love to return next year.

We found the cottage to be beautifully decorated with lots of homely touches such as pictures and quirky ornaments.

It was warm and comfortable and the heating system was very efficient. The downstairs shower was excellent and easy to use. The kitchen was very well designed with stylish appliances and a light and airy eating area. The beds were comfortable and the towels and curtains etc were of excellent quality. The only criticisms are the state of the duvet in the small bedroom which was grubby looking and filled with feathers which might cause some allergy problems. Also table mats you could wipe clean would be good. The door is difficult to open until you get the knack. That said we loved it so much we have already booked for next year! The nearby pub for great meals was a bonus.

It's a great little cottage in a perfect location for Runswick Bay.

The beds were very comfy!

Lovely cottage in the beautiful village of Runswick Bay.

Comfortable inside and we appreciated the parking space outside and garden with 2 young children. Steep hill to the beach but there is a car park at the bottom which is an option if you have little ones

The only criticism we have is that we couldn’t get the main oven to work.

However, we were able to use the top oven which fortunately met our needs. We had a very good week’s holiday in Sunny Side.

Bath mat and blind needed in the bathroom.

Windows not v good as original. Front garden needs to be cleared for the parking. Ie weeds and Holly bush could do with cutting back so you can open your car rear door.

We loved Sunny Side cottage.

The location was perfect, a short walk from the beach and coastal path and close to the fantastic bus service which ran regularly from Whitby to Middlesbrough with many stops in-between. The beds were comfy and the small garden perfect for meals outside and areas of sun and shade. The nearby Runswick Bay Hotel serves good food and we enjoyed meals out in Staithes and Whitby too. We love this area of Yorkshire with it's mix of Moors and coastline.

Cottage very comfortable, suited us very well.

2 loos, brill shower cubicle very good and easy to use,would not hesitate to stay at sunny side again also good food just down the road at Runswick bay hotel.

Good place for the beach Good bus sevice every 30min to whitby Nice and quiet to rax in garden at night Location is good for coastal towns via car or bus And close to clevland walks

We enjoyed our autumnal few days by the sea.

The location was right for us with excellent bus service. Pub was closed during the week. Shame. The Ellerby was a suitable alternative. The cottage was cosy, lovely log burner, but we couldn't find the key to the shed for more logs. For heath and safety, an anti-slip bath mat for the shower upstairs is required and I agree, another stair handrail would be good; the stairs are a little steep. I also agree that the front door lock was awkward. On arrival we nearly rang the helpline until we realised the top key turned anti clockwise which I hadn't expected. The door handle then needed a shake and a little push. After a long journey it was disconcerting. Double glazed windows would not only help prevent the condensation but also help reduce energy costs.

We had a lovely stay in sunny side!

Location was brilliant at the top of the hill, with pubs nearby and short (steep!) walk down to the beach. Cottage was really clean, facilities were great and would definitely stay again. Runswick bay is lovely!! Had a be very minor issue (we are fussy!) that the hosts responded to immediately, so can’t ask for more than that.

All in all we found sunny Side in Runswick Bay quite comfortably the kitchen was very well equipped with an electric cooker /Fridge freezer /Dishwasher etc, The down stairs shower & toilet were well maintained has was the one upstairs, The beds were clean and very comfortable with plenty of storage space for cloths, In the lounge area there were a wall mounted T.

V with very modern electric type wall mounted heaters the furniture was comfortable our only slight criticism was the stairs could have done with another hand rail? We found when cooking etc the down stairs windows which weren't double glazed & caused the windows to be affected with heavy condensation maybe a dehumidifier would probably sort this out? We did enjoy our stay would I book this terraced house again yes I would.

Very comfortable quiet cottage with everything we needed.

Super part of Yorkshire with walks from the door or good road network for travel to wider area. Also benefits from 1/2 hourly bus services to main tourist areas. Very welcoming hotel with delicious menu just 1 minutes walk from the door. We would not hesitate to return.

I had a lovely stay at Sunny Side.

The location was perfect for a walk to the beach, and the bus stop is a moments walk away. The garden and patio were lovely. The plum loaf and Yorkshire tea were welcome after a long drive.

We enjoyed our stay at Sunny Side as it is in an ideal spot!

The property is quite adequately stocked and was very clean. The downstairs shower was fine but I feel that the property would definitely benefit from having a shower fitted over the bath upstairs and perhaps fit a mirror in the back bedroom.

Property very comfortable and it had everything we wanted and needed.

Admire them for the colour of carpet as it seems difficult to keep pristine but by no means dirty. We would book again if we were going to be in the area

Sunny Side is a little gem.

Fantastic location to enjoy the very pretty village of Runswick Bay with the benefit of off street parking. The cottage is clean and tidy with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Very comfortable beds. The property maximises the space it has. As there were just 2 of us staying in the house there was more than enough space but for 4 adults it may feel a little cosy. In the lounge there is an armchair and a 3 seater sofa but perhaps a 2 seater sofa instead of the armchair or an additional armchair would allow for more relaxed living space. The main bedroom is spacious but the back bedroom is small with a small double bed - ideal for one person but you may need to store some items in the main bedroom if there are 2 of you staying in there. There are 2 toilets in the property and a downstairs shower room and I think from previous feedback the owner has said they are intending to put a shower in upstairs which will be great. Overall we loved Sunny Side

On arrival at Sunnyside we were surprised at the amount of weeds growing in both the border and the gravel on the front.

We had a problem opening the front door, it was extremely tricky, and initially thought we would have to call the help number. Eventually we managed to get inside. Property clean and in a great position to get the bus . Runswick Bay hotel good food and drinks! Sheet on bed didn’t fit and needed adjusting during the night!

There were a few items missing in the kitchen , ( I was so looking forward to making a pot of coffee- but no cafetière) - which would make a good cottage a great cottage .

These have been highlighted to the owner & they can quickly be rectified . The decor in the bathroom / shower has been mentioned previously: they are however , both great facilities & do what is needed . The house is in a brilliant location for exploring the North Yorkshire coast & moors .

We loved our stay in the cottage and area.

Lovely touches to the decor with good garden space, great for rabbit watching. Downstairs shower a bit of a squeeze but did the job and very clean. We were told whilst travelling that the cooker had broke down and so Tom provided a 2 ring electric plug in hob and made an extra journey to drop off an air fryer too which was all appreciated. We did spend more on eating out but it didn't impact our stay, so thanks. Good buses locally and the coastal walk to Staithes is a must to eat in the Cod and Lobster

Most of the accommodation has been refurbished to a very high standard.

Cutlery, plates, kettle and toaster were new but some of the white goods and the downstairs shower had not been updated but were acceptable. The location was excellent. Runswick Bay is stunning; a beautiful beach and a chance to go fossil hunting at low tide. The Runswick Bay Hotel is close by and provides excellent food. There is a half hourly bus service almost outside the door, and we could easily get to Whitby in One Direction and Saltburn in the other thus, avoiding the parking problems there might be in nearby busy resorts. The bus was free for us as we are pensioners.
