Old Kipper Cottag​e 

 January 2018 

Had a fantastic 3 night stay, pleasantly surprised by the amount of space and excellent family accommodation. Beautiful relaxing baths, lovely to be able to stretch out. Bonus was there was no rush to leave on the last day allowing us to have the cottage for all of the rest of the day. Would definitely recommend for larger groups / families and will hopefully be visiting again soon!

What a lovely weekend we had at Kipper Cottage. The cottage is very deceiving from the outside and is very spacious on the inside. The bedrooms are a decent size along with all the other rooms.. I couldn't really pick a fault with anything. I would highly recommend this cottage! The tea coffee and sugar was I nice touch.

Fabulous cottage in great location close to beach and shops. Cottage was well equipped with everything you need and was very spacious for a family of 9, very clean and plenty of towels and bedding. Would recommend this cottage highly and would return again




Sands Apartment, Sandsend

November 2016 

After getting an excellent deal and looking at the other reviews I decided to book a long weekend away to celebrate me and my partners anniversary at the Sands. Firstly, Chloe, who dealt with the booking was extremely helpful, before we even got there with excellent advice about where to eat locally as well as in Whitby. The cottage itself is set in a fantastic location with views of the sea as well as being set up above a stream which runs into the sea. The view is breathtaking of the coast and the surrounding area. 

The cottage is a lot bigger than I expected, decorated to a high standard and complete with everything you could possibly want or need. The welcome information pack tells you everything you need to know including some good walks which we tried. The local pub, The Hart Inn is extremely cosy and welcoming and the fish and chips there have to be seen to be believed. On the advice of Chloe we chose to eat in Whitby at the White Horse and Griffin and I was totally blown away. You can walk from Sandsend to Whitby on the beach which is just short of two and a half miles away. In summary, the Sands is a fantastic place in a fantastic location for a quiet, romantic get away.

We have stayed in Sandsend at Sands apartment twice. It is an idyllic spot with beautiful views from every window. The apartment is large, spacious and comfortable with lovely outside seating.  When the weather is kind you can do a lot without a car.  Walks along the beach, bus service is very good to Runswick Bay, Whitby, Robin Hood's Bay. Enjoyable short break would recommend.

Sands is a huge apartment taking up the ground floor of what was a beautiful, grand family home.

It has been renovated and modernised to a really good standard and comfortably let’s five adults share the space. It’s in an amazing setting with views to the woods at the rear and the sea to the front. Makes a great base for walking into Whitby along the beach and many other walks around the surrounding area. We had a lovely relaxed two night stay here and would definitely come back.

Pebble Apartment ​

 February 2017 

My wife and I stayed here recently for a weekend break and have to say that pebble is truly lovely. The layout of the living room , kitchen and bedroom is clever and whilst cozy has plenty of room for 2 people. The mix of traditional and contemporary furnishings etc is absolutely spot on. The bathroom has a rolls Royce modern shower with everything of a high spec. Chloe is a lovely lady and is so helpful. We will return.

Lovely romantic cottage for two got everything you need for a perfect stay. Located in Sandsend not far from Whitby, Staithes and Runswick bay. We just chilled out for 3 days. All facilities, washer, dishwasher, cooker etc. There's a bistro in the village and you can get food at the local pub where you can take your dog, if you have one ! Would definitely go back, lovely view from the cottage and peaceful location. Would highly recommend. 

October 2017 

Had a lovely restful few days at Pebble. It was so relaxing and peaceful that we both felt sad to leave. The beach is only minutes away and can be seen from the window. It was difficult at times to draw my gaze away from the fantastic view. Sandsend is a lovely place to stay with lots of places to eat and beautiful beaches to walk on. Another plus is that it’s not far from Whitby which is just minutes down the coast. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants somewhere to go to recharge their batteries.

November 2017

 What  an amazing little place - cosy living room, upstairs on the first floor was a bathroom - nicely decorated, a double bedroom, lovely and well thought out for space and the second floor was the second bedroom. We all loved this room. Spacious, lovely decor and just plain interesting with a high roof to the eaves and exposed brickwork. 

Villa Haziran, Kalkan, Turkey

Have stayed in other villas in Turkey.... This has topped them all!! The villa is equipped with everything you could possibly need whilst on holiday.... Hair dryers, iPod attachments and Turkish towels included!

Views were to die for!! The sunrise and sunset views were something really special.

The villa itself is very spacious and each room has stunning sea views. Immaculately presented throughout.

 Very helpful and detailed instructions were received pre- travel too.

The distance from Kalkan is approx 20 mins walk.... More if you stop at the bars en-route!! It is quite steep in places.... But taxis are cheap and plentiful. If a lazy night is in order, do try cafe vita,  Aqua or the house cafe nearby.... Excellent food!

We will definitely be back!!
