The charming village of Fylingthorpe is located just a short distance from Robin Hood's Bay and its fishing community. This village, which is located inland from the shore after ascending a treacherous curving route, was founded by Scandinavians in the ninth century and is now a lively village with a variety of services. Purchase some fresh bread at the neighbourhood store, Thorpe Stores, or fill up on necessities at Barnard's, a small bakery. After a long day of exploring the North Yorkshire coast, The Fylingdales Inn is a warm spot to unwind with a pint. However, the nearby community of Robin Hood's Bay has a greater variety of pubs and bars, several of which have magnificent sea views. When you are ready to continue exploring, turn onto the Cleveland Way and walk up to the wonderful Whitby town centre, where a variety of delights are waiting for you. While there, visit the eerie Whitby Abbey, which is thought to have inspired Bram Stoker to write Dracula, and then descend the 199 Steps to the beach. If you want to learn more about sailing in the past, enjoy exploring Whitby Museum, go on a Whitby Storyteller Guided Walk, or visit The Endeavour Experience. A great place to start exploring North Yorkshire's attractions is Fylingthorpe.

A good pub and friendly people, ideal for walks with dogs. The only things that let it down was the cleanliness, we had to clean the grease from the grill pan, few plates have chips and there was a constant odour from the shower room/toilet. The photo from the rear needs to be updated, it shows gate from the mentioned courtyard into a lovely field behind the property, but on arrival a sign has appeared on the gate saying no dogs allowed in. I think this should be shown in the photos as it is slightly misleading.

One hour before arrival I was phoned up and told that one of the bathrooms was out of action. They explained that this wasn't a big issue as the property has two bathrooms. The second functioning bathroom had a 'bath shower' and I said - tbh there's two of us and both are pretty easy going guys so I doubt it will be a issue, don't worry about it. On arrival and as you can see in the pictures of the property advertised, the bath is categorically not a bath shower. There is no curtain or screen to stop the water spilling onto the floor, no hook to hang the hose on and it isn't long enough to be one any way. It is simply a hose assisting the bath. The result of this was on the first day I tried to simply have a bath, but the boiler for the bath didn't seem sufficient to heat up water for a bath that size leaving it pretty luke warm. After this I spent the next four days actually sitting down in the bath holding the hose above my head, which wasn't good pressure or particularly warm and obviously a very unenjoyable experience in general. By the time I left the house I felt pretty gross, and on discussing this with my partner once home she pointed out that had I taken her (not a friend) we would have had to leave and check into a hotel as she would not have been satisfied with this arrangement. Subsequent to this I got in touch with Sykes Cottages and said basically that I didn't want to cause a fuss but felt it was reasonable to request a fairly reasonable discount in view of this issue. Subsequent to such I would be quite happy and still consider the stay and experience overall positive. Which I imagine most people reading this review would agree is more than reasonable, given that being able to wash is a fairly reasonable expectation. Initially they said I was told about the issues with the facilities there were, and I had received an email about this prior to the stay. In fact no such email was sent and neither they nor I could find one. Then they inferred that I was being unreasonable and they had phoned me prior to arrival. Which they had 1 hour before arriving on the day and told misinformation that there was a functioning 'bath shower' - clearly not a sensible/reasonable situation time wise. Then after both these things the owner reluctantly offered me a 10% discount like he was doing me a favour, and I was being dramatic. Absolutely crazy behaviour by both the company and the owner. I wouldn't recommend either party. Both of which took zero responsibility for this issue. Which is particularly disappointing as I flagged it up in a very reasonable fashion stating that I really would rather not make a complaint. Yet here we are. I haven't taken the discount on principle as clearly it is totally off the mark of the scope of the issue and am completely flabbergasted that both parties have behaved so irresponsibly in the face of what is obviously a reasonable request and an obvious issue. It is clear that 1. One bathroom was out of action. So we were never going to have the full functionality of the house we paid for. 2. That we were told misinformation that there was another working shower and we had no way to properly clean ourselves. 3. That in dealing with this complaint rather than reasonably dealing with what is a very clear cut issue in a sensible fashion and easily putting it to bed with someone pretty happy to be reasonable, I have been held in contempt as if it is me talking nonsense bonkers.

The cottage was as described beautifully clean and in a great location although we booked this cottage due to it having 2 bathrooms but when we arrived one of the bathrooms developed a problem and was not useable the toilet leaked through the ceiling with dirty water we did let the owner know the other bathroom toilet did not flush properly although we made the best of the holiday we would not use again and feel that some refund would not be unreasonable
