Abbey View Cottage,

Rated 5/50 by Purplebren on 26th December 2015

"Just myself & the dog. The cottage was cosy, warm, well equipped and excellent facilities - including a dog walking paddock, and lovely owners. No stairs was such a bonus for me. Such a lovely cottage to snuggle down into after a day's outing. Since leaving we have such a yearning to be back, which we will. Really excellent value for money and an excellent base for going in all directions for days out. Highly recommended."

"if you want peace and quiet come to this cottage around 5-10 minutes drive to Whitby and and views which will want you to build a house there ideal for walkers however you do need a car or bike etc.. its very out the way. couldn't watch a tv program at night with out the signal going funny. tiny bathroom and across the way you have a field to walk your dog and llamas to look at. down the lane which takes you to the cottage you have a dairy farm to your right the lane is very narrow going back down the lane leads to a busy road where if you go right leads to Whitby."

"I dont understand why this hasnt been reviewed more. This is a lovely cottage, set in a great location, looking down Robin Hood Bay. The photos on the site does not do the cottage justice, it is much better than the photos. Everything and more is supplied in the cottage.The owners Kay & Alex are very friendly and approachable and nothing is to much trouble for them. I am hoping to go back again and would recommend this cottage to anyone who wants to get away from all the stresses in life. You will not be disappointed. The owners are doing a great job."

"The photographs online do not do it justice with the bedroom and living room being much more spacious than they are made to appear. 30 minute picturesque walk into Robin Hoods bay, 5 minute drive to Whitby and 20 minute drive to Scarborough. Very easy to find and parking excellent, allowing you to reverse up to door whilst unloading the wine as well! Finally the owners are very welcoming and extremely helpful, whilst at the same time it is very private and we felt totally relaxed in the peace and quiet of the lovely cottage. Will return again."

"A lovely cottage, perfectly suited to two people, in the midst of a farm. Plenty of parking, perfectly situated to explore Robin Hoods Bay, Whitby, Scarborough and the North Yorkshire Moors. The cottage was well equipped and comfortable. Thoroughly recommend!"

"The cottage was small but it didn't feel like that. We had two adults in the bedroom and two children on the sofa bad. The bedroom was big enough to keep four people's stuff. The rest of the cottage was great too. Lovely location with plenty to do. Every day we were out for full days of fun."

"From arriving to leaving, the owners could not have been better, from delivering fresh vegetable and fresh hen and duck eggs, to advising us on pubs and parking. Spectacular views and a superb base with good walks around and down in to Robin Hoods Bay. Highly recommended"

"A lovely homely cottage in a complex of 3 that could be rented separately or as a family group, lovely owners who were around if required, otherwise not seen. Dog friendly, warm and comfortable. Ideal for 2 but large enough for 4 with pull out sofa bed. Good selection of DVD, books and local information. well equipped kitchen and large enough to cook Christmas dinner which was important to me. It is a smallholding opposite a working dairy farm, so don't complain if there are smells of the countryside when you wake up. We had one small problem with access when we encountered a heavy snowfall and could not get up the hill in a 2 wheel drive car. But it made for a perfect white christmas break."

"We booked this property in early October without a thought for the weather, however two weeks before our arrival, the snow fell heavily in the UK. I kept in contact with the owner who assured us they would get us into the fairly remote property at least as they owned a 4x4. The plan was to arrange a Tesco home delivery on the day that we arrived, but the on-line service had stopped taking any more bookings due to the snow. So a quick shopping expedition on our way to North Yorkshire and we were excited. The place is about 1/2 mile off the main road and we found it no problem even in the dark. We were met by Kaye, the owner who soon put us at ease and after a quick run down of the cottage, explained where the local hostelry was. I had been nominated chef for the week, so a quick search round "my kitchen" put me in a great party mood. It was perfect, everything to hand, clean and well equipped. It is a farm cottage on a working smallholding with dogs, chickens, sheep and the alpacas over the fence. The property has a large comfy double bedroom and in the lounge the comfiest sofa bed I have ever slept on. It has constant hot water, a great shower and a stable door to look out into the foldyard. We spent lazy days at home, with the small TV, and plenty of books in the property it was a relaxing break. We are not walkers or ramblers but spent our time equally between "the Bay" and Whitby exploring the lovely shops, pubs and harbour. You cannot go to Whitby without buying smoked Kippers from Fortunes. you cannot visit the Bay without a couple of pints in the pub looking out to sea. We only needed assistance once in our front wheel drive car but the locals were as helpful as any you would wish to meet. Would we go again, you bet your auntie Nelly we would. Lovely cottage, Lovely people, Lovely area!"

"A lovely little cottage, exactly as described: warm, comfortable, well-equipped, ideally located - excellent value. The owners strike exactly the right balance of being friendly, helpful and non-intrusive. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay."

"We stayed here for 4 days and used it as a base from which to tour the beautiful surrounding countryside and coast. It was ideal. The cottage was probably the cleanest we've ever found. Good places to eat,all within a fairly short drive. The owner was a little sweetie, and we loved watching her collecting her eggs and tending her animals. We really loved the area and will return someday soon."
