What our customers say about their holidays

  Stayed here over the Goth weekend and wouldn’t stay again. It’s basic, a place to sleep but not much else. Lack of basic amenities, no toilet paper, no working heating, no WiFi, toilet flush takes many tries to work, hot tap barely worked. And it’s a fair walk to the co-op to get the basic necessities that are provided by most other cottages. Other people in our party stayed in a bigger cottage near the abbey which was cheaper and they provided a welcome basket containing basics like teabags, milk etc. so I’d look elsewhere if you’re staying in Whitby. Place was also not very clean. Black mould in the shower, dirty mirrors and hair all over the floors. Knelt down in the bedroom while unpacking and was covered in what I assume was dog hair. Also if you bring a pet, check under the wardrobe in the bedroom as there’s loads of dog toys stuck under there too. Located on a noisy street which can’t be helped but expect to be woken up by the boat yard opposite at 6am and you will hear every person who walks past through the night as the windows are single glazed. Minus the mould the shower is good though, very powerful. Overall, for the price there’s a lot better places to stay in Whitby so I would look elsewhere.

  The description doesn't do this cottage justice.

  It's a perfect location for walking the Cleveland Way and visiting the gems that are dotted across the west of the North Yorkshire Moors all the way to the East Coast. The cottage itself is on a farm run by delightful and welcoming people who were very understanding about our pet number mix-up, and allowed us to take two dogs. If you're looking for 'away from it all' and spectacular views, this is the place to go. It's a very warm and comfortable cottage with every possible need covered. We tried very hard to think what else we might want, but could only come up with a second lavatory and a slotted spoon! There was even a collection of OS maps with walks highlighted. Helmsley is a few miles away and is a lovely little town which welcomes dogs in almost every shop and eatery, with 3 lovely pubs. The castle and it's surrounding area is well worth visiting, and the walk to Rivaulx is wonderful. The Abbey is another incredible site to visit. Going in the opposite direction from the cottage, the Cleveland Way has a good stopping point at East Paradise Farm's tea rooms which has fabulous home made cakes and serves savoury meals too. We can't wait to go back and have already booked to go in 4 months' time.

  Excellent stay, helpful friendly hosts.

  Perfect little house for a base. We explored the area everyday and the 6 year old was in heaven! Local amenities spot on, chippy, Chinese and Co-op. Only cooked once in the house but had everything we needed ( maybe an extra set of cutlery though?). Our 1 larger dog , (not 2 small,) was happy outside in the garden and made friends with the neighbours!! Only told on arrival dogs not allowed upstairs which wasn’t a problem and I think he’d have slept outside if we had let him!! Maybe mention this on booking as some people have to have their dogs in the bedroom? John checked in on us and on hand for advice if we needed it. We adore Yorkshire and we will definitely be back.

  A lovely cottage in a semi-remote location, but with easy access to Helmsley & beyond.

  On arrival the cottage was spotless but no welcoming tea & biscuits/cake, not an essential but always a nice touch. Facilities excellent especially in the kitchen department whilst WiFi was excellent [fast acting & strong signal]. Perhaps the only facility that caused concern was the shower over the bath which was an accident waiting to happen, there were no hand holds to assist getting in or especially, getting out, and anyone with short legs was in for a challenge. A small irritant was the 9.00am departure which when you only live 50 mile away seemed a little unnecessary. So much so that we wouldn't again book any cottage with Sykes with that sort of early departure time.

  Llamedos is a home from home, a perfect base for exploring the Yorkshire coastline with good access to roads for all the best places including Whitby and Scarborough.

  The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you need and all good quality too. The fridge freezer is small but more than adequate for the supplies we needed. The hosts, John and Leslie, were very welcoming and had the cottage looking perfect for our arrival. The cottage has a lovely cosy lounge and two good sized bedrooms as well as a nice sized family bathroom. The recommendations for local pubs, along with some discount vouchers, were appreciated. We loved the fact that after a day exploring we could come back to Llamedos and walk to all the local amenities, including a well stocked local shop and various pubs and take aways.
