"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 . Property Owner

"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.
Thank you for your lovely comments it's very much appreciated. Property Owner

"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!
-
"We had an amazing stay."
We found the cottage lovely and relaxing. The pub next door didn't effect us at all but we had a great take out from there. It was so peaceful. We will hopefully be back ❤️
-
"Had a really great week at Fairhaven, lovely comfortable cottage with a glimpse of the sea from the bedroom window, lovely views across the fields and we had perfect weather!"
Pretty village and good pub. Parking right outside the door is a bonus. Good shower and comfy bed and sofas made for a relaxing week and the smart TV with access to Netflix etc was a nice bonus too for the evening. Thank you, we hope to stay again soon.
Thank you for your lovely comments Debbie it is really appreciated and we look forward to seeing you in the future. Kind regards Michael Property Owner

"I would like to say that this is by far the best holiday cottage I have stayed at."
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. I definitely would like to stay here again!!
Thank you for your lovely comments Jonathan,we look forward to seeing you and your family in the future. Kind regards Michael. Property Owner

"We had a really enjoyable stay at Fairhaven Cottage."
It was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. The location is an ideal base for exploring the area and the pub next door but one is an added bonus, with them serving excellent food. Owner Michael is friendly and very helpful. Would love to return, thank you for a wonderful stay.
Thank you bernadette for your lovely comments much appreciated. Kind regards Michael. Property Owner

"Excellent cottage in a fantastic location."

"All was great … only let down was water pressure in the bathroom was very poor."
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. Property Owner

"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. Property Owner

"We booked this holiday very last minute (3 days before we went) due to our previous holiday being cancelled last minute."
The communication from Sykes and the owner was excellent and very reassuring. The cottage was extremely comfortable and had everything we needed. Very well equipped in every way with quality fittings, furniture and housewares. Perfect location for beautiful beaches, which is just what we wanted. The owner let us know who was available if we needed anything. This was really good to know although everything was fine.
-
"A lovely spacious cottage perfectly positioned for a relaxing break and only 10 minutes away from Sandsend."
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. Thanks for a great stay.
-
"Really lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings."
Light and airy but yet cosy enough with the log burner on cold winter nights. We would definitely go back.
-
"Cosy, comfy cottage; great for relaxing."
-
"The cottage owner was very helpful in suggesting placers to visit whilst there."
He made sure everything was ok once we had settled in. The cottage was very cosy and well decorated and we had a lovely stay despite the unsettled weather!
-

Cottage well equipped with everything you could need. Comfy, pretty, perfect for our holiday.
-
"Lovely cottage everything you could need."
Wonderful location off the beaten track but not far to so many places to visit. Very tranquil place and great pub with lovely food a couple of doors away! Would recommend highly.
-
"Lovely little cottage in excellent location for visiting Whitby, Sandsend, Runswick Bay and Robinhoods Bay."
The cottage had everything we needed and was clean and comfortable.
-
"Cottage was just right for us,with everything in working order."
Added bonus was the pub two doors away. You will need transport as the village is very small with no shops within 5 miles. Wi-fi was good and the kitchen was well fitted out with toaster,microwave and a very good cooker & hob. Parking is right outside the door and there are other holiday cottages adjacent. We would book this cottage again without a doubt.
-
"Lovely cottage perfectly placed for visiting around the area."
-
"Fairhaven cottage is a fabulous place to stay."
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.
-
"The cottage was beautiful and cosy."
Yorkshire is a beautiful county and we will definitely be returning.
-
"A lovely cottage, that is so quiet despite a pub next door!"
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.
-

-
"Great location,nice pub next door,places to go with your dog,cannot fault the place"
-
"Advertised as having DVDs but none on site, also smart TVs did not have internet connection so kids could not watch Netflix, stated Smart TVs."

-
"Beautiful cottage in great location."
Had everything we needed. Clean and comfortable.
-
"Fairhaven cottage was extremely well appointed, tastefully decorated with everything there we could possibly need."
Even better, it was next door but one to a pub that sold excellent meals. The owner was very helpful when suggesting places to walk the dog and very prompt when answering minor queries. An excellent experience that we would definitely repeat.
-
"2nd time at this accommodation through your booking loved it we will be back"
-
"Absolutely no noise from pub next door, very orderly arrivals and departures."
Warm and pleasant cottage with parking outside door. All facilities. Good beds, good views. Good everything.

Always on hand if we needed him, we didn't on our stay but good to know he was there!
-
"The cottage was immaculate,extremely well equipped and in a fantastic location for walking locally, also a short drive to Whitby and the Moors."
Michael the owner of the cottage was very helpful and was available at any time if we needed anything (which we didn't). I would highly recommend Fairhaven cottage both for location and value for money.

Your home away from home
An endearing, stone terraced cottage, located near to the local inn, in the village of Ugthorpe.
Cosy and appealing, the cottage is ideal for families wishing to stay in a peaceful setting, but still be within easy reach of the Yorkshire coastal resorts of Whitby, Saltburn, Staithes and Scarborough.
The comfortable sitting room has a warming multi-fuel stove and there are patio doors leading to a private patio area, overlooking a pleasant, shared gravel garden.
The spacious kitchen/diner overlooks the main street, with panoramic views of farmland beyond.
There are two pleasant bedrooms on the first floor, one overlooking farmland to the north and the second overlooking the gravelled garden to the south.
With careful renovation, this is a comfortable and cosy cottage with the added benefit of a popular village inn, selling fine ales and good food, on the doorstep.
There are splendid walking and cycling trails to be discovered nearby, whilst the popular seaside town of Whitby, with its long sandy beaches and cobbled streets, is just a short, scenic drive away.
Discover the elegant spa town of Saltburn to the north, or take a trip to the second spa town of Scarborough a little further to the south - both will afford pleasant days out as you explore the independent shops, tea rooms and art galleries.
A well-placed cottage for a relaxing holiday.
