  Wold Cottage is beautifully presented, furnished, and spotlessly clean.

  It is in a great location with easy access to the coast and inland attractions. Hunmanby village is just down the road with useful shops and some nice pubs. We are a multigenerational household so the downstairs bedroom and bathroom worked well for the senior members of our party, whilst we and our children were upstairs. There’s plenty of space to not feel on top of each other. It’s a house for all seasons as the orangery is a beautiful spot in summer to sit and have meals and the huge lounge would be lovely in the winter with a log fire going. The snug and lounge also provided some welcome coolness during the heatwave! Our boys enjoyed the selection of games provided. In terms of equipment, we had everything we needed. We knew there wasn’t a BBQ so we took our own portable one and checked that John, the owner, was happy for us to use it in the courtyard garden, which he was. While we were there the dishwasher broke down so we informed John before we headed off for the day and when we got home he was there to show us the new one he had installed! We really couldn’t fault the service. For us the only downside was the road noise, which others have made reference to. It’s situated on a fairly straight bit of road with a 60mph limit so the noise can be quite intrusive, particularly with the bedroom windows open at night, which was a must during the hot weather! It really is the only negative and not something the owner can change, so as long as you’re aware when you book (which we were), you are prepared for it. Overall, a super week in North Yorkshire, thanks John for sharing your beautiful cottage.

  Wold Cottage is without doubt the best holiday cottage we've ever stayed in - and we've stayed in dozens over the past twenty five years up in North Yorkshire.

  Everything about this holiday cottage was perfect, from the ease of booking, the communication from the owner, the friendly warm Yorkshire welcome (and welcome pack, which included a bottle of wine!) The cottage was wonderfully spacious, very comfortable and superbly equipped; we especially enjoyed the large conservatory/orangery and the fabulous wood-burner (which we only used for effect because the central heating was wonderful too, even in the depths of an English winter!) The off-road parking space was brilliant and there was plenty of room to manoeuvre our two cars, and nothing was too much trouble for John and Irene who proved to be perfect and very patient hosts despite our technophobia and failure to understand the clear instructions for the use of the smart TV and the ultra-modern touch control hob! Wold Cottage has everything that one could desire for a relaxing holiday and we would heartily recommend it, especially for families and those (like us) with pets, it was refreshing to let our small dog out to roam around the garden knowing that she was completely safe and couldn't get out because the boundary fence and gates were all secure and well maintained. Wold Cottage is ideally located about a mile or so outside the lovely historic village of Hunmanby with its excellent shopping facilities and eateries, and is just a ten minute drive to the coast and five miles of the best sandy beaches in the area stretching from Filey Brigg down to Reighton Gap and beyond, and for us it is the ideal holiday location. We will be back in the summer!

  Such a beautiful cottage, loads of space for us and the dog.

  It shares the very large garden with a smaller 2 bed annex but did not matter at all as also has private shingle garden space off the double entry orangery with garden table and chairs for 8. The kitchen and cooking space was spacious and fitted out with quality freezer, oven with induction hob, microwave and dishwasher. A utility room housed a washing machine and a tumble drier. With a double bedroom and full bathroom downstairs, a king size, a double and 1 twin bedroom + bathroom upstairs comfortably sleeping 8 would not be a problem. The conservatory/orangery was a huge space with bench table that would easily seat 10 with plenty of space left over for a bistro table and chairs. The huge lounge area with log burner and must be 55” smart tv had again enough seating for at least 10. The lane it sits on is probably used as a cut through to Hunmanby and therefore you do get some traffic noise but did not effect us. Hunmanby is a minute by bar with pubs take-always and small co-op and shops. Hunmanby gap beach is wide and stretches north to Filey and south to Reighton sands, dog friendly and safe. Visited Yorkshire Whiskey Distillery the home of ‘Filey Bay’ single malt. All together had a very relaxing and extremely comfortable week here. The owners should be very proud to own such a beautiful cottage. All together

  Great cottage, spacious and comfortable.

  Mattresses were good and comfortable. Parking on street was never a problem and it is close to pubs, tea room, food shop. Mostly the kitchen, which was very nice with a large oven and hob, was well equipped. But if I have to be picky I'd say they need to provide more than one Tea towel for a week, a pair of oven gloves and some bin liners. Also two bedrooms have no hanging storage so that was awkward at times. A few hooks and hangers in both bedrooms would have been good to hang dresses etc. If two people are sharing the twin room, one small set of drawers with some of the handles missing is not enough storage. Put some hooks on the wall perhaps. It states on the description the cottage is a 'stones throw' away from the sea, so I took that to mean I could walk it, you can't! I wish I'd checked the map before booking. It's a misleading description and Sykes need to take that wording out. The cottage is deceptional and is larger than it looks. It's probably not suitable for the very elderly or anyone with walking difficulties as it has one or two steep steps in the kitchen and dining room and a few smaller ones too. Generally it was clean and well equipped and I would recommend it.

  Courtyard cottage is absolutely lovely it’s very spacious and has everything anyone could possibly need to have a wonderful holiday.

  My only slight criticism (as this is more an error on my part because I perhaps should have asked this question of Sykes upon booking) is that the cottage does have a number of steps inside the property going between the rooms that weren’t mentioned in the description. One particularly large step that caused a bit of an issue with one of our party who has accessibility problems is the one between the kitchen and the dining room which is the access to the stairs up to the bedrooms - my recommendation would be for the owners to consider installing a handrail to assist people like my sister in future so they don’t have any issues. My fault entirely for not checking upon booking but it was quite a large step and I did feel it should be mentioned as I had to help her up and down it safely so she didn’t fall. I chose the property because of the open showers due to her accessibility issues so it was a shame to then have steps inside that we weren’t expecting but it is a lovely cottage and I would absolutely recommend it for a lovely well kept accommodation.
