Mill House

Beautiful accommodation everything you need for a holiday had a wonderful time

A lovely property with great views and some excellent walks around Robin’s Hood Bay.

We were lucky with the tide times so we’re able to walk along the beach while the tide was out. Whitby is a lovely town to visit for the day, we also visited RSPB Bentham to see the Puffins, Gannets, Kittiwakes and Gulls. At dusk there is a Barn Owl that flies out of the barn and we were lucky to catch sight of it on a number of occasions from the balcony.

Really nice comfortable cottage.

Well equiped if you want to cook for yourself, we ate out every night mainly walking to Robin Hoods Bay,1.5m away, which is an engergetic walk up down down a hill or by the steps at Boggle hole. Great place to use as a base for walking.

The accommodation is very comfortable with modern bathrooms and functional kitchen.

The balcony, which faces west, is a nice spot to sit out with a glass of wine and book while the sun sets in an evening, although the yard below could benefit from a few flowers.The bare concrete together with a camera at one end did not encourage us to use the outside dining facilities. The location is lovely and quiet and there is a relatively short walk into Robin Hoods bay. Remember to book in advance if you wish to eat out in RHB as it gets busy. Overall we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Brilliant as always

Great holiday , the house lovely as always.

The owners had set the heating just right so it was nice and warm to return to

Beautifully kept cottage, perfect location for days out,stunning views and plenty wildlife around, perfect family trip.

Mill House is an excellent property for up to 4 people with 2 double beds.

It's location is great for anyone looking forward to a remote peaceful holiday. With walks and cycling all around from South House Farm. Whitby and Scarborough are less than half hour away by car. The Cinder Track disused railway path is nearby. The beach is accessed via steep track at Boggle Hole. Robin Hood Bay town is easily reached from the various routes from the farm.

Lovely cottage .

Very comfortable and in a great quiet area, surrounded by lovely countryside. Only down side is the WIFI very poor would not work at all.

Very welcoming cottage well equipped and comfortable.

Lovely quiet location with walks from door. Had a great time. Thank you.

Best holiday cottage we've ever stayed in!

would highly recommend it to anyone.

We had a fabulous stay at Mill House.

The property is set in a lovely location, in particular for walkers. The area is so peaceful and quiet with many places to visit nearby. It is immaculate, well presented, with 2 huge sofas to relax on. They are very deep, so if like us, you are short, you'll have to curl up on them. The TV and WiFi both have great reception.The kitchen is well equipped, that said, we didn't cook there, preferring to eat out as we always do. The beds we found to be extremely comfortable and slept very well - which we don't often do in holiday accommodation. Both the ensuite and bathroom have fantastic power showers and huge fluffy white towels. We were also very fortunate to see the woodpecker on the nut feeder every day and the resident barn owl flying in and out of the barn several times. We highly recommend this holiday property.

I've stayed at the various cottages 11 times on the farm since 1996.

Every time it has been excellent. The location is perfect if you prefer quiet isolated holidays away from the crowds. Walks are numerous right from the cottages. The cottages are always warm, clean and inviting. The owners have always been helpful on the occasions I have met them.

excellent accomadation

yet another brilliant holiday at mill house , thank you

Lovely well equipped cottage in a beautiful setting close to Boggle Hole beach and the Cleveland way cliff path.

Lots of walks along the coast path and through pretty villages. Would highly recommend.

A lovely reverse level house with outstanding views from the balcony in the living room.

We even saw owls flying into the nearby barn. The house was comfortable and well equipped with everything you would need. There is a short but steep walk down to the beach. We had a very enjoyable stay.

If you love walking, fresh air and wildlife, this is the cottage for you!

We saw woodpeckers, deer and seals and loved walking along the beaches to find fossils. The cottage is very well equipped and comfortable.

Very useful to have an EV charger in an area of few public chargers.

Very well appointed and peaceful cottage in walking distance to the beach, coastal path and cinder track for cycling. Excellent communication with Steph the owner. Would highly recommend. We will be back.

Another Brilliant holiday the accommodation up to it's normal high standards

Absolutely amazing hidden treasure - quilts and pillows were amazing - Infact can the owner text me what they are and where from please?

Didn’t want to leave - left a pressie for the owner x

A lovely cottage spotless .

Well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds ,good quality bedding & towels.The only niggle we had was the on suite shower not working properly the owner tried to fix it but it only worked with cold water running out .The other shower was perfect.

We had a lovely stay at Mill House.

We all thoroughly enjoyed it. The only downside was that I left my bag with some fresh groceries in,but I have no doubt it will be dealt with when noticed. Would certainly book again

Excellent EV charging facilities.

Covered parking. Amazing bed. Fine views from the living area. Very friendly and obliging owners. We visit the area regularly and this is the best property we have had.

Excellent in every way.

We had a great time at Mill House.

The house was everything you would want it to be. We would recommend it to every one The views from the balcony were beautiful as was the peace and quiet. It was just a short drive to Whitby and Scarborough. We would certainly go back again in the future.

Another amazing week at Mill house.

We keep on coming back year on year, and as we make that turn into the driveway we know that the week is going to bring new and exciting experiences.

Excellent cottage.

Thoughtfully designed and equipped. Warm and welcoming it was hard to leave! Good location and blissfully quiet.

What a beautiful cottage in a beautiful location.

Views out across the stunning countryside. Within 15 minutes of our arrival we saw a woodpecker on the bird feeders and later in the week an owl flying by the living room window. Just a short walk down to the beach then, if the tide is out, a short walk to robin hoods bay. There is loads of information in the cottage about the area with walks and things to see. We stayed in most evenings as we had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend

Loverly location, extremely clean, everything you need for a relaxing break.

Thank you. We will come again.

Lovely property, great location.

Thoroughly recommended. Netflix, tennis court, Boggle Hole a 5 minute walk, covered parking, woodpecker on the bird feeder. And a week of sun in February. What's not to like :)

Great property everything you need .

very cold.when we was there ,but the cottage was always very warm lovely.

Nice property, facilities and location

Very well positioned property close to Boggle Hole, and around 1 mile from Robin Hoods Bay dock along the beach.

The property itself is very spacious, with two very comfortable bedrooms ( one on-suite ). The living space is upstairs, which is perfect for the lovely views. The kitchen is modern and well stocked with appliances. The property is a good base for exploring Whitby, Sandsend, and Scarborough which are all a short drive away. Nearer to base you can explore the lovely ( although sometimes steep ) walks from the door.

We had a really wonderful stay at Mill House.

The property was just perfect for our family and convenient to all our planned holiday plans, namely visiting our much-loved Robin Hoods Bay and walking the Cleveland way. The house was excellently appointed, and we appreciated the peace and privacy of the surroundings. The huge living room couches were just what we needed after our long walks on the cliffs!!

Property well equipped with clear instructions about heating, rubbish disposal etc.

Nice to have a charger for an EV, although we didn't bring our EV this time. Everything worked well. Very good shower and nice quality sheets, pillows and towels. House is in an excellent location for cliff walks to Robin Hoods Bay and Ravenscar. Cafe at the Youth Hostel was a big plus too. It would have been useful to have information about items provided n the kitchen (washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, kitchen roll, tin foil, salt, pepper etc) to know what not to bring.

The cottage was lovely, fantastic views and so close to the beach.

Very scenic and plenty to do for all the family.

The property is lovely and in a wonderful location.

It has everything you could ask for and the balcony is wonderful for sitting out in the evening. The tennis court is a great bonus. The only negatives are that you share a garden with the cottage next door which is right next to the bedroom window, this would be annoying if it had been used by the other cottage as you can see the whole bedroom. It is also down a narrow road, which in previous years wasn't an issue, but as the beach has become popular the traffic has increased and a lot of near misses even though we went slow (other cars don't and most corners are blind spots). Sadly I did ask if a single bed could be made up as two doubles was a little awkward and Sykes cottage consultant said I needed to bring a camp bed, we brought one at great cost and the owners had one!

Excellent duplex cottage, Barn conversion, bedrooms on the ground floor, living area upstairs, with wonderful views over the Yorkshire coast, via the balcony.

Really well equipped and very, very comfortable. Excellent bathrooms and cooking facilities. Plenty of space for up to six people. Off the beaten track but fairly close to Whitby and Scarborough. Boggle Hole is very picturesque and quiet, but access to the beach is very steep via the road down to the Youth Hostel (excellent Cafe) and beach. Nice beach walk to Robin Hoods Bay and access to the Cleveland Way, if the tides in.

We very much enjoyed our week.

The property is very quiet, comfortable, well equipped and relaxing. Very effective heating and hot water provision with great showers. The beds were particularly comfortable. The woodpecker on the feeder was a real bonus. As keen walkers ideal for walking into Robins Hood Bay either by top path or via Boggle Hole past the YHA along the beach. This gives access to the Coastal Path. Good bus connections from the Bay to Whitby and we used this to then walk back along the coast. Highly recommended.

Impressive!

Newly refurbished, modern, spacious, extremely clean and warm barn conversion in a lovely peaceful setting. The bed was very comfy and the beautifully laundered towels were in abundance. The cottage has everything you could possibly need, even a rechargeable torch inside the door. Netflix was a real bonus, as was watching the woodpecker on the bird feeders. We loved it. Apart from all the beautiful walks to Ravenscar, Robin Hoods Bay and beyond via coastal path or cinder track, we discovered the pretty village of Middlewood which is much closer for those who prefer a shorter walk (about 30 mins). There you will find a pub, a butchers and a general store selling pasties and hot sandwiches before 11 a.m.. There is also a little play park with plenty of seats to rest and enjoy your bacon butty!!

Very clean, newly refurbished to a high standard.

Bathrooms were lovely - water piping hot. Everything you need in the kitchen and loads of space in the cottage. The kids loved the tennis court!

really nice warm house with excellent view

Lovely barn conversion in a fabulous location to access the Cleveland way and wider network of public footpaths.

Huge variety of walks straight from the door and lovely cafe right on the beach at Boggle Hole. Comfy base for a varied holiday with Whitby and Scarborough either side of beautiful Robin Hood’s bay. Only wish you took dogs so we could come back with our furry friend who would have loved it too! Car charging a huge benefit for us - thanks!

What a beautiful house , situated on a farm , lovely views and a drive away from local attractions, the laundry was a nice surprise and we had everything and more to make our holiday magical !

The cottage was fantastic bigger than we anticipated and we'll located for walks and beach.

Tennis court was also a hit with the kids.

Very quiet location, yet only 5minutes walk to Boggle Hole beach and cliff top walks with beautiful views.

We loved the reversed living space with a gorgeous view of the countryside and sitting on the balcony, listening to the birds. There we so many birds constantly visiting the bird feeders, including a family of woodpeckers! The cottage has a very well equipped kitchen. There are no cafes or restaurants very close by (the YHA cafe on the beach is open some of the time) so we bought food from the Sainsbury's in Whitby and ate some meals in. The nearest restaurant is the Fylingthorpe Inn, which serves very good pub food - if you are not in a hurry! You do need to drive down very narrow country roads to reach it though! The showers are very powerful with copious amounts of hot water. The cottage has an excellent shared tennis court which I think must have been recently resurfaced. The images do not do it justice! All in all, we had a very comfortable holiday and would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic cottage, very peaceful and beautiful views

The property was in the lovely location of Boggle Hole.

Mill House was warm & comfortable with the added bonus for us of having a tennis court as well. I think it would be better if the owners left instructions for items like using the dishwasher.

Well located close to the Cleveland way, cinder track and various walks.

Only a few minutes walk from the beach and with walks along the beach at low tide to Robin Hood’s Bay.

The house is very clean well equipped very relaxing close to beach short walk to robins hood bay

This is our 4th visit to Mill House so that tells you something.

This is a beautiful part of the coast with walks from the door pretty much. The property is well equipped with a great open plan layout upstairs which makes everything easy. There are two great comfy sofas which we love coming back to and we always sleep well as the beds are good quality and it is very quiet. The hosts are always very helpful and you are close to Boggle Hole, Robin Hoods Bay etc so perfect for exploring this part of Yorkshire.

Great location -- a short walk to Boggle Hole.

A wonderful cottage and lovely location.

With boggle hole by the beach and Robin hoods bay only a 20 minutes walk along the beach or the Cleveland way path when the tide is high. Will definitely look at booking again when visiting family in Whitby.

We really loved the situation; beautiful surroundings, plenty of walks and the Cinder Track is close by and well-suited for running.

There were roe deer as advertised - four of them. The cottage is spacious and light. There are two excellent squashy sofas, perfect for looking out over the view and watching the little birds come to feed. I was a bit apprehensive about the shared laundry but it proved no hardship in practise. Would definitely rebook.

Great place to relax, nice walks and everything we needed for our stay provided.

The holiday house was great, warm and comfortable.

We left early but this is as planned. The surrounding area was beautiful, and great to explore. Thank you very much.

The location of the cottage was superb with so much to do within walking distance.

Grand views and cosy cottage living.

My wife and I and our two friends from Holland shared the property.

The facilities in the property were perfect, there was everything we needed, it was warm, clean and comfortable. We couldn't believe how lovely the location was, the walks we took and the views were really outstanding. We would certainly return to this property I would highly recommend this property and Sykes Cottages to anyone.

EVERY THING WAS FINE APART FROM THE POOR QUAILTIY TOILET PAPER IT WAS'NT FIT FOR PURPOSE .

ALSO TWO KEYS WOULD OF MADE LIFE A WHOLE LOT SIMPLER

The cottage was beautiful comfortable and in an idillic setting.

The WiFi was excellent and the cottage had everything you could need. We had a wonderful time in a wonderful part of the country. Well placed to visit many areas in North Yorkshire.

A fantastic cottage in a wonderful location.

The accommodation was perfect in everyway; great views, 3 bathrooms (my teenage son loved having his own en-suite!), a lovely and well equipped kitchen and washing machine and tumble dryers. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

Really nice lodge with stunning views.

lovely and quiet.very nice area.hope to come back at some point in future

Fantastic location, beautiful views and so quiet.

The house was spotless, well equipped (especially the kitchen) and very comfortable. Tennis court was brilliant for the kids. Parking outside your door. Cannot fault anything. Would not hesitate in recommending the accommodation. Sad to leave. Beattie Family, West Midlands

Quite easily one of the best cottages we have ever stayed in.

Would highly recommend. Well-equipped, stunning views and fantastic location. We had a wonderful week's holiday here and hope to return soon.

Lovely cottage in a wonderful location.

Beautiful countryside and sea views from the balcony. Loved hearing only animals all week ... no traffic and no noise from other people. Very relaxing.

The cottage was very warm and as we choose the wettest week of winter this was very good.

We have holidayed with Sykes previously so knew what standard to expect.

The accommodation was as advertised. It was in a good location for coast and country trips. The girls loved the tennis court. When booking the lady was very helpful giving all options available. We will be using Sykes again. Thank You.
