“This is our 3rd visit to this particular cottage and we had a wonderful time again, so much so that we have already booked for next summer!”
Mr Liley February 2020

“This the third time of using Airy hill cottages and they are always a good stay.”
Mrs Moore February 2020

“Lovely cottage with a view of the Abbey and within walking distance to the town.”

Our boys loved the baths upstairs and the downstairs wet room was very convenient. We had a problem with the heating on one occasion but it was quickly sorted. Some instructions on how to use the dishwasher would have been helpful, also a nest of coffee tables, but all in all, we enjoyed our break in this cottage.
Mr Mcananey February 2020

“Having used Sykes several times now, we are aware of the standard so this met our requirements.”

With one of the bedrooms being downstairs with a large en suite, it was ideal for my parents who are in their late 80s. The fact that Whitby was a six minute walk meant that the need to drive was not there. The two remaining bedrooms on the first floor were large and both with en suite facilities. Downstairs was also large with a clear view of Whitby Abbey. The property was exceptionally clean and comfortable and we would highly recommend the magpie.
Mr Martin December 2019

“On arrival and throughout the first night there was an overwhelming small of bleach used in the down stairs on sweet.”

No apparent instructions available for either the dish washer or cooker.
Mrs Brooks November 2019

“The cottage was amazing.”

Beautifully decorated and so luxurious. We had everything we needed in the kitchen. The log burner was great and so cosy! Very short walk to the centre of Whitby. I will definitely come to the cottage again in summer and would recommend to friends and family. Thanks so much we had a fab time!
Mrs Davies November 2019

“Baths upstairs need shower curtains if you want to use hand held shower, they are not suitable for older people as you can not stand up and shower.”

listing said bath and shower above which it isn’t it’s just hand held while sitting in bath. other than that accommodation was superb.
Miss Cave September 2019

“The property was very clean but a little run down as dinning chairs were flaking and the 2 settees were way too low as lost the padding.”

The write up said was good for infirm people but we found this was not quite the case due to low toilet and no relaxing chair for infirm people had to use the wheelchair all week not practical for a weeks holiday. But we did enjoy the cottages area as this was a central cottage.
Mrs Johnson August 2019

“This was our 3rd visit to Airy Hill and we had a great time again at the Magpie.”

We have already booked again for next year! Great location, lovely views, comfortable accommodation.
Mrs Brewer June 2019

“Boiler had error message we had to reboot about four times a day to get hot ...”

Boiler had error message we had to reboot about four times a day to get hot water two bedrooms upstairs stated they had showers over bath which in fact were just hand showers as there was no shower curtains and you could not stand up in the bath as bathroom was in the eves so we all had to use the wet room in ground floor bedroom which was not ideal
Mrs Welby May 2019

“Absolutely brilliant cottage.”

Everything we needed
Mr Green May 2019

“Magpie was brilliant Rebecca was a good owner and very friendly”
Mr Garrett April 2019

“We have now been twice and have booked for next year, That has to be the ultimate reflection of satisfaction.”
Mrs Strangwood March 2019

“Key collection very easy, owner provided cot at fairly last minute.”

Cottage beautifully presented, wonderful view. 10 minute walk into town. Easy access onto the cinder trail from the cottage. Would not hesitate to stay again.
Mrs Mawson March 2019

“Really lovely cottage, had everything we needed for a weeks holiday with 4 adults and two 2 year olds.”
Mrs Addison February 2019

“Great cottage, fab location!”

We had a slight problem with the boiler, but someone was there to sort it within minutes. The cottage was well equiped with everything we needed during our stay. A mirror in the upstairs double is needed though, but that's my only niggle!
Mrs Appleyard December 2018

“Lovely cottage with excellent facilities.”

A pleasant 10 minute from Whitby town centre. This was our second time staying at Magpie Cottage for the Christmas period and as a family we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would definitely recommend this cottage.
Mrs Gibbons November 2018

Mr Oakes September 2018

“Mrs”

Absolutely lovely place to stay! Modern, well equipped & very homely. Currently on holiday here, kids are loving the secure garden space & only a 15min walk to the harbour. Finally a holiday rental with decent kingsize beds!! Would 100% recommend! Lovely views of the Abbey & local scenery.
