  We really enjoyed our stay at the Dairy House.

  Location and parking are easy, the road from Pickering is quick and straight forward so can pop into town without much fuss if needed. Lots of local walks which our dog loved. The house itself is great as the utility room really takes the stress out of coming back from a walk with muddy shoes. Very well stocked throughout from cleaning supplies to kitchenware. The upstairs is not the most friendly towards tall people, unlike the rest of the house which is. The door frames to the upstairs bedroom and bathroom are quite low and you need to remember to duck. This is just a period feature of the house and others in the area looked much lower throughout. I would suggest taking the downstairs bedroom instead if above 5”10 to save your head. If I was to improve two things, 1) it would be potentially hanging the mirrors a little higher so they are more tall people friendly in the upstairs bedroom and bathroom; over the towel rain in the bathroom would be great. 2) add a desk fan to sit on top of the chest of drawers in the upstairs bedroom to circulate air at night as the only way to get the room dark is to close the door which can make the room a bit stuffy in hot weather. These were minor things in the grand scheme of things. The house is comfortable overall, especially the livingroom and kitchen.

  Having booked for 4 adults, 2 disabled children and 2 dogs it was good to find that we were only a few minutes away from the sea front.

  With the aid of a permit we were able to park in the residents parking which was just around the corner - very important in Scarborough as most roads are double yellow. The accommodation was spacious and well laid out, even for the 6 of us. Kitchen appliances were all in good order, although we ate out for the most part. Cutlery and crockary were clean and modern. Everything was clean, neat and tidy. Beds were comfy and only the heat kept us from a good nights sleep - pushing 30 during the day. Bad points for the owner non of which would affect us staying again, just constructive feedback - although there is one shower and a separate bath with shower attachment it could do with a shower screen for the bath and a holder for the shower head as 6 people would have struggled with one shower had my wife and I not used the bath, shower head. The lock on the rear French doors is very difficult to lock/unlock. Finally the rear patio area could do with gates/boards to close it off for the dogs. All in all We were very happy with our choice and will stay again, which says it all.

  The location is lovely - you can see the sea from the window, and Whitby is only 5 mins away in the car. Downstairs is lovely, Kitchen area very spacious, and living room cosy. Garden great for the dog. Word of warning though - no fire starter kit is provided, not is there any fire tools or flame resistant glove to manage a lit fire - very unusual for a holiday home that boasts having a log burning stove. Also, the main bedroom is a double bed NOT a King as advertised, and all three mattresses were very old and soft . Finally, the wifi signal is intermittent, so drops in and out when watching TV. There is also no phone signal so you can't make any calls from within the property - worth knowing this in advance. Even texting is difficult. House is also pretty sparse - could do with some board games, cards, maps of local walks, local tourist business flyers etc. Felt really light in the little touches that make a great holiday home. This house could be excellent if it fixed these issues.

  Dairy House was cosy, surprisingly spacious and well- equipped.

  Lots of plus points: log fire and generous basket of logs, secure bike store (for 2 bikes), quite a good selection of books / DVDs / games provided, location on the edge of the North York Moors near Pickering, Helmsley, Dalby Forest, Whitby, Robin Hood's Bay, Scarborough and other places on the coast, village playground with zip wire and football pitch (in March the tennis net was down and the pitch was too muddy anyway for tennis), village pub. Everything went smoothly with Sykes: booking, payment, cottage instructions etc. Cottage owners were great and made a courtesy phone call to confirm details and sent us useful extra information about the cottage and local area. We even had a call from the local contact for the cottage after we'd arrived to check everything was ok. The complimentary bottle of wine was a nice touch. Highly recommended.
