While some guests found the cottage and its facilities in need of maintenance and updating, others appreciated the comfortable setting and the warm welcome provided by the hosts.
Most guests found the cottage clean and tidy, with only a few mentioning the need for a bit more dusting and cleaner kitchenware. The hot tub was well-maintained, although one review noted it was not cleaned during their stay.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the sea, local pubs, and the Cleveland Way. Guests enjoyed the easy access to nearby coastal villages and the peaceful setting.
Guests generally found the cottage comfortable, with a particularly comfy master bed and a warm living area. However, some noted the furniture could be updated for enhanced comfort.
The hot tub was a favourite among guests, but several reviews mentioned issues with maintenance, such as lightbulbs not working, a leaking washbasin, and a need for more kitchenware. The garden was also noted to require attention.
Guests appreciated the friendly service and thoughtful touches like fresh eggs and milk on arrival. However, as not all reviews mention gifts, and to ensure expectations are managed, it should be noted that such extras are not guaranteed.
About this property
A superb, detached stone cottage set on the edge of the owner's farm in the North Yorkshire village of Hinderwell, one mile from the coast. With a pretty chocolate box exterior, step inside this beautiful Hinderwell cottage to a contemporary open plan living space, perfect for a luxurious, relaxing romantic break. Fully renovated, this Hinderwell cottage retains some original features, with stripped wooden floors, exposed timbers and a stable door, but has been modernised with a designer kitchen, glass dining table and high quality fixtures and fittings, all beautifully styled. The spacious sitting area in your Yorkshire cottage boasts comfortable seating, whilst a rear door leads to an enclosed decked patio, complete with hot tub - an absolute delight to sit and relax in with a glass of bubbly at the end of the day!
From the living area of this Yorkshire holiday cottage, a wrought iron spiral staircase leads up to the two double bedrooms, one with a sumptuous super king-size bed, whilst the large, modern bathroom leads off from the spacious hallway. A five minute walk from your cottage in Hinderwell brings you to the excellent village amenities, including several pubs, a good butcher's, local shops and a bistro, whilst the sea lies only a few minutes further. Close by are the old fishing villages of Runswick Bay and Staithes, with their cobbled, narrow streets and sandy beaches, rich with fossils and rock pools.
Enjoy a bracing cliff-top walk on the Cleveland Way or visit the seaside town of Whitby with its imposing abbey, many independent shops and famous fish and chips. With the stunning North York Moors National Park on the doorstep and numerous attractions such as the steam railway at Grosmont, this Hinderwell cottage pleases everyone. A fabulous base for a cottage holiday in North Yorkshire. Note: This cottage can be booked with Ref. 3650 to sleep 8.
With shops and pubs, and close to the picturesque fishing towns of Staithes and Runswick Bay, Hinderwell is a small but bustling rural village. Just nine miles from the charming harbour town of Whitby, Hinderwell is ideally located for exploring the surrounding countryside, ranging from the dramatic cliffs and smugglers’ coves of the coastline to the deep, secluded dales of the North York Moors National Park. This is a wonderful area for walking, cycling and fishing.

The cottage was clean, well equipped and very comfortable. The rear garden was private and the hot tub was a great added bonus. The location is central to so many other coastal villages. The listing with Sykes does give the impression of a standalone cottage, but the cottage is part of a complex. This wasn't a problem for us at all and we didnt see this as a negative thing, but it may be worth mentioning in the listing. We would love to go back and are already looking to book for next year.
