Beacon House

• "Absolutely stunning property, in a great location."

  The house is exactly as described and is the most well equipped cottage we have stayed in. We made great use of the games room and outdoor area, enjoyed trips to Whitby, Sands End, Staithes and Robin Hoods Bay. The village pub, only a few metres away served great food and provided a break from cooking on our last night. We will definitely be booking again.

• "Perfect home from home staycation for 30th birthday celebrations."

  We stayed at Beacon House as a family (6 adults, 2 infants, 2 dogs) and had such a lovely time. The house is decorated to such a high standard giving a mixture of country and modern styles. All rooms were clean and fresh. The underfloor heating in the kitchen is a very nice touch that kept us lovely and warm whilst enjoying breakfast on those chilly October mornings. The cottage has so much to offer for everyone, from the projector in the living room giving a cinema feel, the most tastefully decorated bar with games, the outside area with hot tub, darts board, ping pong and snooker table. There is more than enough room to socialise both together and separately. The kitchen was our most used area with comfortable, stylish seating allowing us to cook, relax and laugh together all in one room. The location was perfect for us, we were able to take our dogs out for walks, visit nearby Whitby and Goathland and even go out running (although the elevation was a shock to the legs!). There are public footpaths located close to the house too and we felt very safe to use these both morning and evening. We were able to buy ice cream from the farm next door, see their goats and highland cows, and explore their well decorated pumpkin patch. My parents had the spacious master bedroom which they were very happy with. The other two double rooms were taken by two couples, one with a newborn and one with a 4 month old. Surprisingly, despite both babies being up through the night, this could not be heard from the other rooms. Drew supplied travel cots and high chairs which made our stay even easier! The beds were very comfortable and we had plenty of storage. There are also gorgeous views of Whitby and the Abbey from the top floor bedroom windows. We had ample parking for 3 large cars directly outside the front door. Drew was very warming and helpful with his welcome text message and also making sure everything was okay for us after our stay. I have no doubt that he would have been quick to respond to any issues but luckily we had no reason to bother him as everything worked exactly as it should. We would love to come back and visit again!

• "Where to start with this place, the property in my view was not very clean at all."

  The tiles in the shower room downstairs have not been cleaned in months, they had a nice layer of scum in the grouting The bar area was nice but had a funny smell to it, as for the pool table and darts board; useless. The pool table was quite small, but this didn’t change the fact that there is not enough space around the table for you to take your shot. This combined with the fact the majority of the pool ques had no tips on them. Absolute waste of time having it there The darts board was just as poor with only two darts to use, meaning a game of darts was pretty must impossible The toilet outside is thick of cobwebs, pretty obvious this isn’t a focus area for the cleaners either The yard outside was full of leaves and debris when we got there, again not sure why this had not been swept over prior to our arrival The hot tub was enjoyable, but we were unable to get into it until later in the evening on our first night as it was not hot enough The kitchen was nice with all amenities we needed, but again the cleanliness was questionable. I’m not sure the floor had been hoovered prior to our arrival, nor were we left with anything to wipe the benches over There is a projector in the front room which isn’t great, although the sofa is very cosy. I’m not sure why there is a projector there when a tv would be so much better Upstairs was nice, the bath and shower lovely and the bedrooms well presented. The bed in the main bedroom though is very uncomfortable and very very noisy If you are looking to book this, be conscious that the house is next door to a young mother with two children. We were not aware of this, until she knocked on the door in tears asking us to keep the noise down Which we did, and got talking to her over our stay there. Turns out this is something that happens on the regular which is why she was so upset Just be conscious that if you’re looking to book somewhere with friends to have a few drinks and enjoy the hot tub that you will need to watch the noise levels Would I return here, no sorry I would not. For the money we paid I’d expect at least all mentioned facility’s and the cleanliness to be in line with the money they are charging to stay here

• "Beacon House is stunning."

  Beautiful house throughout. The hot tub, bar and pool/table tennis gave us plenty to do in an evening. The house is situated on a quiet lane with a pub less than a minute walk away. A five minute drive to the park and ride made trips into whitby hassle free. Very well equipped house and very comfortable. Just to say the main bed is very creaky but other than that, perfect.

• "We had a fab stay at Beacon House, it has everything you need and more!"

  Our family ranged from aged 15-78 and there was something for everyone. Plenty of entertainment with the games room, the darts and pool table were a hit. The spacious hot tub provided relaxation after days out. The cottage is well equipped and beautifully designed with comfy beds. Loved the communal dining space in the kitchen. The farm next door was also a hit with homemade icecream and breakfasts and the Wilson Arms just a bit further up the road is a lovely pub for dinner and drinks. The location was so peaceful with country walks on the doorstep. We walked into Whitby and back one day through a gorgeous wood with stepping stones and streams, although a bit hilly! We only contacted Drew, the owner, once to ask a question but he was very responsive and helpful. Overall a wonderful stay and would definitely return.

• "Beacon House is a beautiful place to stay."

  The house is furnished to a really high standard. Everything was lovely, modern and clean. There are lots of great extras too, including a pool table, dart board, games console, projector/TV room and hot tub to keep everyone entertained. The local pub is lovely and the ice cream at Beacon Farm next door is delicious! Lots of beautiful coastal towns locally to explore, including Whitby, Sandsend, Robin Hood's Bay, and Saltburn. Would highly recommend staying here, and we'd love to come again!

• "We’ve just returned from a wonderful stay at Beacon House in Sneaton and couldn’t be more impressed."

  The property exceeded all our expectations – it’s spacious, beautifully presented, and spotlessly clean. Every detail has been thought of, from the comfortable beds and high-quality linens to the well-equipped kitchen that made self-catering a real pleasure. The location is ideal – peaceful and tucked away, yet just a short drive from gorgeous Whitby and the stunning North Yorkshire coastline. Sneaton itself is a lovely village, and we particularly enjoyed visiting the nearby Beacon Farm for the most amazing ice cream – a real hidden gem. Beacon House feels like a real home-from-home, with thoughtful touches throughout that made our stay extra special. The garden was a gorgeous spot to sit and unwind in the evenings (especially in the hot tub), and we appreciated the ample on road parking and easy access. We’ve stayed in many holiday cottages over the years, but Beacon House is truly one of the best. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it and are already thinking about when we can return!

• "Fab stay for my husbands 60th birthday with our older children and their partners."

  Owner has put a lot of thought into things. We did have an issue with hot water but a plumber was sent very quickly to sort it out. Mattresses are super comfy although the master bed frame is really creaky. Towels and bed linen was lovely too. The pub a few doors down is fab and has a good selection of food. Good portion size. The ice cream shop in the farm behind the cottage is great and we used this facility a few times. Would definitely go back

• "Fabulous property."

  So nice to have the bar room and loads of games to play. We hardly used the sitting room. Had a couple of minor issues but Drew was straight round to sort them. Would definitely stay here again. Mentioned to Drew that a towel rail in the first floor toilet would be useful. The only other thing I would suggest is perhaps taking the second freezer out and replacing it with a cupboard where food could be stored. The kitchen is so well kitted out with glasses, crockery, pans etc. there is no room to store dry goods. Loads of space for chilled food as two fridges. Couldn't fault anything about the property at all. No issue with parking on the road directly outside the property. Visited the ice cream parlour on the farm next door and the local pub. Both nice. Thanks for a lovely stay. Hopefully we will be back.

• "We had a wonderful stay at Bacon House."

  Enough room for 8 + 2 infants. Our children particularly loved their attic twin room. The house was beautifully decorated and furnished. The amenities were great (stair gate, highchairs, travel cots etc). The bar & pool / table tennis table were a big added bonus! Great location with an ice cream farm and pub within a few steps. The owner was easily reachable and helpful. Thank you, we would definitely come back!

• "One of the nicest place cottages/house we have stayed in - so roomy and spacious."

  The hot tub is in a sun trap of the garden and the bar is just so unique and such a lovely place to chill in on an evening. The owner has literally thought of everything, games, dart board, pool table sky, coffee machines, bar, cake tins if you want to bake and so many glasses, There is nothing missing. The house it just a lovely combination of country but modern - still has the quirkyness you expect. Also great contact from the owner Drew from his welcome message - giving us all the information we needed before getting there - and allowing us to reach out to him/his sister if we had any problems - which we didn’t. It’s in such a good location right next to Farm which has a little cafe and then a pub within 50 yards. Also so close to the seaside literally 10 minutes to Whitby or Robin Hoods Bay. Work really well for multiple couples or a family. We will defiantly be coming back .

• "Wow Wow Wow."

  This was by far the best accomodation we have stayed in. It was equipped to a very high standard. We normally eat out but this place made us feel like we wanted to stay in and enjoy the place. The bar was a great place to socialise as a family. We all really enjoyed the hot tub, pool table..ping pong table & playing the odd game of darts. The only things I would recommend is getting some plastic plates, bowls and cups for the kids as the dinnerware is so nice we were nervous of them breaking anything and also the outside toilet could do with a small sink or hand-wash station as you had to come inside to wash your hands, touching the door handles. This aside it was a fabulous family getaway in such an amazing property. Thank you to the owner Drew for the message at the start of our holiday and the welcome gifts. It was a really nice touch. We are already looking at booking for later in the year.
