"Fairhaven is a lovely cosy cottage in a great location for exploring the Yorkshire East coast."
It was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. A couple of touches which would make it even better would be a DVD player, especially for those who don’t have Netflix etc accounts. Also a pint of milk and some tea bags to make a brew after a long journey in the form of a welcome basket would be a nice touch. Would we come back again? Absolutely!!

"Lovely few days in Fairhaven."
Very well equipped and warm cottage in rural location. Comfy beds, wood-burning stove with first night fuel provided and a local farm selling logs and kindling. Easy check-in, good communication with owner. Well-equipped kitchen and nice warm shower. Good access to many walks and places such as Whitby, Runswick Bay, Robin Hoods Bay. Would definitely return.

"This property needs a thorough clean."
Especially the kitchen
The main bedroom requires urgent redecoration
I would not recommend anyone staying there until such a cleaning programme takes place
Dear Mrs Lowe
we are sorry that you felt the need to leave such a daming review of Fairhaven Cottage .
However when you arrived you had the opportunity to speak to us regarding the cleanliness of the Cottage and give us an opportunity to ask the cleaner to return and resolve the issue. Not once did you contact us which is very unfair that you publicly gave us a bad review and felt the need to advise potential bookings not to book with us.
We will happily look at any other issues mentioned and have had positive reviews for the last 7 years .

"We really enjoyed our week at Fairhaven Cottage."
The location was good to be able to drive to various different places including Whitby, Robin Hood's Bay and Scarborough. The cottage itself was very clean and cosy with all amenities that we required, and the landlord was very informative when speaking to arrange the key collection. And the pub next door served excellent food and good drinks. Highly recommended, thank you.

"Lovely cottage in a beautiful rural setting, ideally located for both the North York Moors and the coast."
Cottage is very comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. We found the communication from Michael, the owner, very useful both before and during our visit. He also responded very promptly to a small issue we had on our first day. Although the kitchen was very well stocked for home cooking, we would recommend the nearby Black Bull Pub for an excellent Sunday Carvery lunch. Overall the cottage was perfect for the relaxing de-stress week we needed!

Fairhaven was really comfortable and had everything that we needed. The owner was brilliant, made contact and shared with me more details about the property.
It’s location is also brilliant, in the North York Moors, which was handy for walking, near to the coast and also next door to a great pub serving good food as well.

Agree the water pressure upstairs is a little slow but it soon gets upto temp and the free standing electric shower more than makes up for this no pressure required.

"This is a lovely cottage set in what we think is the perfect spot for exploring the north york moors and coast."
The cottage itself is roomy and well appointed. Michael the owner contacted a number of times to check that everything was good with our stay. There is a lovely communal garden at the back, which is a sunny spot. We were the only people using it. It was fun to watch the birds. Had it been warmer I am sure we might have eaten dinner at the outdoor table.
There is a pub next door but one- which is busy. But fear not we had no disturbance what so ever.
For those who want to walk from the cottage, if you get the OS map out you will be able to plot easy walks to the coast, which is what we did.
Would definately stay again.
Thank you for your lovely comments, It is much appreciated.

The cottage was lovely with everything you need. The log burner is boiling so warms the whole house very quickly so not needed on all at time. Bathroom was spacious but there was no window. The kitchen was a great size and had everything we needed.
Beds were comfy and it was great to have the little pub next door.
The owner communicated with us and made sure we were happy and had all we needed.

Well located and in great condition. The added benefit of a first class pub next door was the icing on the cake.
If I had to be really picky, the kitchen knives could use a sharpen and to get the best out of the dishwasher, you would need a second set of crockery, but that's it. Otherwise, this place is pretty much perfect and we will be back.

We never heard cars or patrons coming or going. The cottage was immaculately clean and had everything to ensure a warm and pleasant stay. Michael discreetly kept in touch to ensure everything was ok- it was perfect! Amazing wildlife a woodpecker out the back every morning and we saw Hares in the field and a Barn Owl. Easy access to all East Coast. Gave us chance to enjoy the Ghost Walk in Whitby from the Whale arches, usually we have headed home by then. And lovely coastal drive to Sandsend, Runswick Bay, Staithes without being on main tourist route.
