Family of 4, 2 adults and 2 children (4 and 5 year old).
Visiting for 7 nights. Pros - Fantastic location for seeing Whitby (cafes and pubs within a 2 min walk, harbour a slow 10 min walk down the hill). -Comfy Beds -Beautiful kitchen -Living room size / comfort ok for small family of 4 - responsive property management to any slight issues / questions we have. - just set off the main streets so fairly quiet location and felt pretty safe however you do still get some street noise in peak hours. - nice welcome hamper - coffee machine - huge family sized cooker - modern bath tub / shower Cons - as stated in description property is over 4 floors which takes some getting used to, (1 room per floor), steps are really steep, so would not recommend to anyone with kids under 6 ish and anyone with mobility issues. Zip link bed is actually a double bed so zip link was never an option which was disappointing, which lead to us sharing beds (2 doubles) instead of having twin beds for the kids. - some windows / decor / fixtures are starting to show signs of wear. Windows and door handles really stiff, Would benefit from a maintenance person to attend just to sort lots of little like this issues but, however we appreciate the age of the property. - parking, although we are provided with a pass, itâs a bit of a lottery in terms of how close you can park, there are options a 2 min walk away which is viewable from the rear of the property if you are in luck. However you can find yourself walking 5 /10 minutes away to the car if your luck isnât in and are less organised. (Parking Guides are provided). If you happy to park £9 per day there is parking to the rear of the property in a public car park 2 mins walk away if you are stuck for options. - Im 6ft 2 and found it hard to gain access to the top Bedroom and kitchen due to the low beams,I had to duck / crouch on entrance / exit after learning this lesson the hard way. You do get used to this though. - lacked some basic provisions such as bin bags, toilet roll, soap etc Over all, if you understand the age of the property, and are able to work round the steps issue, itâs a nice place to stay, itâs got some nice charm about the property with some lovely modern touches and the location absolutely makes it worth it.

The property is on a quiet, quaint road and we had no issues with noise.
Despite the mention of the possibility of stairs being an issue, we didnât find this a problem as long as we took care - the steps are quite shallow and some of the ceilings on the stairwells are low - but we found them ok. The kitchen had all utensils we needed for a real self catering break and there were books and games provided too. Beds were clean and comfortable. We had one issue, with the cleanliness, which was an issue at the start of our break as we did have to clean. There was quite a lot of dust throughout, the carpets needed vacuuming, the bottom of the toilets needed extra attention, crumbs were on the work surfaces in the kitchen and our dog found a bone of some description on the kitchen floor, also the front door was really quite grubby inside. This has been fed back to Sykes already and so hopefully this will not be an issue for future bookings. We were advised that the cottage are not obliged to provide cleaning products, which seemed odd if theyâd like you to keep the place clean, and so we did have to purchase our own antibacterial cleaner. Dishwasher tablets were plentiful however. Be aware that milk and coffee arenât necessarily provided on short breaks, but there are a few little shops nearby to purchase these. We love Whitby, and hopefully our feedback is taken as constructive rather than negative - the hubby also mentioned that an oven glove would be helpful!

Overall, the house was nicely furnished.
Unfortunately, the inaccurate information about location ('right turning 50 yards after Yorkshire Cottages office' rather than 'immediately after') meant we ended up going round the one-way system again trying to find it. There was no scratch-off parking card in the property, which meant we had to drive back into town to find somewhere that sold them. We drove to the Co op (as it was the only place we knew with free parking). They didn't sell them, but a staff member gave us a parking disc. Fortunately, we found a traffic warden near the property who showed us where we could park overnight. By this time, we'd wasted over an hour of our holiday, and tempers were frayed. Not the start we wanted for a break that was meant to be a treat! Perhaps you should consider posting the scratch cards to customers in advance of their holiday to avoid this happening again. Inside the property, there is a strong smell of damp in the kitchen and black mould on the stair wall. I have a rare lung disease (aspergillosis) which is caused (and exacerbated) by black mould, so I was unable to use the kitchen. Again - very disappointing. Finally, the mirrors in the bedrooms need hanging on the walls. I had to sit on the floor to be able to use the mirror to do my hair and make up. Not ideal!

The house was comfortable, warm and well equipped.
The location was great for us, a lovely 20 minute walk along the river into the city. The host was really friendly and communicative and left the best welcome pack we have ever received at a cottage and we have stayed in a fair few! There were also little luxurious extras like robes and slippers. The only downsides were a couple of little items not working well (namely the dishwasher which was an issue completely out of the hosts control and we insisted we didn't need it fixing whilst we were there, but also the DVD player was well past it's best) but these things did not ruin our break and the owner is so great, I'm sure they will be tip top condition for the next guests. Also, the main bedroom is a little noisy if you are a light sleeper. The host kindly leaves first night ear plugs and I then bought some for the remainder of the week. My husband however slept like a baby, so this is not an issue at all if you sleep well! Despite the couple of tiny issues, we would return as the house is a great little find and York is a fabulous city to explore.

If you want a holiday that takes you away from the hustle and bustle of life then a week in Barn Cottage is the perfect option.
Beautiful location with stunning views across Bishopdale, the cottage has everything you need, whatever the weather. Inside youâll find really well furnished, well thought out spotlessly clean rooms. The window seat in the living room is perfect for whiling away the time during the day with the focus changing to the wood burner once darkness falls. Upstairs is a big master bedroom with a really comfortable super king size bed, a second bedroom and bathroom. Shops in nearby West Burton and Aysgarth have essentials but with Campbellâs just 7 miles away in Leyburn you arenât too far away from a great selection of food and drink. The butcher in West Burton has the most amazing, locally reared lamb and definitely worth seeking out. Some great walks on the doorstep and with Wensleydale just over the hill there is plenty to keep you busy within a short drive.
