“The cottage needs new sofa.”

Carpets cleaned. Just freshening up.

Carpets cleaned. Just freshening up.

- Mrs Egley, September 2020
Mr Bourne October 2020

“The small living room downstairs smelt very strongly of dogs.”

The furnishings need updating, as the 2 seat sofa looks and feels old and the living room carpet could do with a clean and no longer looks anything like it does in the cottage pictures. The bath needs new enamel, and has become rough. Having stayed in a number of Sykes properties, this was the first time that we felt that a cottage was overpriced based on its limited space and facilities.

- Mr Bourne, October 2020

Thank you for your comments. feedback is very important to us and we are in the process of a complete overhaul of the property. Carpets and furniture will be replaced and the bath resurfaced in the near future. Many thanks Sykes owner relations

“Holiday in staithes very good, the cottage bedrooms was clean and comfortable ...”

Holiday in staithes very good, the cottage bedrooms was clean and comfortable however the bathroom and kitchen was not clean or well maintained- with the covid 19 situation I would have expected it to be clean - visable dirt all over bathroom - not acceptable

- Mr Weedon, September 2020
Mr Hall August 2020

“Waycott is a lovely cottage ideal location very comfortable and cosy”

- Mr Hall, August 2020
Mr Whitelock August 2020

“This cottage is even smaller than it looks on the photos.”

It is situated a long way from the car park which is up a extremely steep hill. There is another steep hill from the cottage down in to the harbour. It is not suitable for anyone with walking difficulties or disabled. There is a permit for parking in the car park but no information where to park which resulted in us and other people arriving home to fines of £60 and up to now we’ve had three. The cottage wasn’t very clean also.

- Mr Whitelock, August 2020
Ms Smyly July 2020

“My first visit to Staithes, the village has a friendly, relaxed, old fashioned feel.”

The cottage is small, quiet and comfortable, on the edge of the old village, ideal for morning and evening walks when the day visitors have gone home. We enjoyed walking on the beach with our dog, finding fossils and walking along the cliff path from which one day we saw a minke whale.

- Ms Smyly, July 2020
Mr Williams November 2019

“We enjoyed our stay at Waycot cottage.”

Nice and cosy with logs etc to make a fire if one wanted to.Staithes is a very quaint little village and the people are very friendly.Most days we took Freckles for a walk on the beach which is a short walk from the cottage.

- Mr Williams, November 2019
Mr Taylor August 2019

“The cottage was much smaller than the the photographs implied, the kitchen was really a cupboard.”

The fridge had been switched off so the milk was tepid rather than chilled. The sitting room was tiny and not particularly comfortable. The beds were comfortable but the bathroom was in serious need of a shower as the hand held one was pretty useless really. We left after one night and will definitely not be returning.

- Mr Taylor, August 2019
Mr Ireland May 2019

“We had a lovely holiday and were very pleased with the cottage.”

We appreciated the parking permit which allowed us to use the big car park at the top of the village, and Waycot Cottage itself was a real sweetie. We enjoyed everything about it - the location, the furnishings,the fact that all the windows opened and closed beautifully ( we were lucky with the weather!), and the cat-next-door who would come and peer at us !

- Mr Ireland, May 2019
Mr Skevington May 2019

“The cottage is in a nice place.”

Everything was comfortable. Kitchen a little small but we managed. Overall not a bad experience

- Mr Skevington, May 2019
Mr Lobb April 2019

“A charming cottage.”

Beds so comfy. Thanks for all the wood for the stove and the parking permit. Most generous. We had a wonderful time. Very quirky .

- Mr Lobb, April 2019
Ms Williams April 2019

“It is really important to us that our holiday plans work out well, particularly given we spend most of our time at work!”

Therefor, booking through a frequently used and trusted site such as Sykes takes all the worry and fuss away. All the necessary steps are made simple, from browsing to booking. However, it is the accuracy of the property listings I find most helpful - this peace of mind is invaluable

- Ms Williams, April 2019
Mr Moore April 2019

“Beautiful cottage”

- Mr Moore, April 2019
Mrs Henshaw February 2019

“The cottage was lovely, cosy, clean, comfortable.”

Lovely touch with the milk and biscuits. A new favourite cottage, we will return

- Mrs Henshaw, February 2019
Mr Townley February 2019

“We had a very enjoyable stay at Waycot.”

Compact and cosy downstairs, the wood burner was perfect for the time of year. Beds were very comfortable. Milk and biscuits on arrival were much appreciated. Our 2 dogs had a great time. Tucked away in a quiet location in Staithes a much needed peaceful break was had by all. Many thanks.

- Mr Townley, February 2019
Mrs Twissell July 2018

“Quaint cottage.”

Downstairs is very small. Upstairs bedrooms are lovely. The bath is hard to get out of, grab handles would help greatly. All in all Staithes is a fantastic place to visit. We are going again in September but staying at a different cottage.

- Mrs Twissell, July 2018
Mr Wright July 2018

“Lovely cosy cottage suited to a couple for a romantic weekend away or with a small dog.”

Would benefit with a shower as limited space in the bathroom but overall loved it. Xx

- Mr Wright, July 2018
Mr Morrison June 2018

“My one improvement on a very cozy cottage would be to either make the bath more elderly friendly (a hand hold to ease egress) or remove bath and install a shower.”

- Mr Morrison, June 2018

Beautifully clean and tidy, with everything we needed.

“A Lovely Birthday Treat”

A wonderful, whimsical place to spend my birthday week. Small but just big enough to be cosy rather than cramped, this really was a perfect base camp to explore the Staithes area. Close to the beach, local pubs, shops and bus route, my Mum and I had a lovely time here and will happily come back! Highly recommended! :)

About the location

STAITHES

Whitby 10 miles.

The charming and sleepy seaside village of Staithes, with its cobbled streets and back alleys, is something of an artist’s dream. Its pretty houses and cottages are clustered around the old harbour and surrounded by high craggy cliffs on three sides, with a sheltered sandy beach set amongst the rocky coastline. The village can claim connections with Captain Cook who was apprenticed to a draper near the harbour. Nowadays, Staithes is a must for anyone visiting the Yorkshire Coast and has a good selection of pubs, shops and tea rooms. Staithes is still home to an RNLI lifeboat station and a small fleet of cobles (fishing boats) landing fish, crab and lobster, with boat trips for birdwatching, fishing and even whale watching available. It’s also the location of the popular BBC children’s TV series, Old Jack’s Boat. Staithes has a strong attraction for artists, with an annual Art and Heritage Festival, galleries and artists studios with art courses and workshops regularly on offer. There’s a free Illusion Trail, which guides visitors around the network of ginnels (alleyways), with trail guides available locally. The best views of the town can be enjoyed from the Cleveland Way which runs down the cliff to the sea’s edge. Altogether a superb base for exploring the Yorkshire Coast, visiting the larger resorts of Whitby or Scarborough and enjoying the moorland villages of the North York Moors National Park.

Note: Property does not have a shower.
