Wyke Lodge Cottage

We had a wonderful week at Wyke Lodge Cottage 1st - 8th November 2025.

The cottage was spacious, clean and comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the dining room which was beautifully light and airy. We played games every evening at the large dining table. We brought our own but there was a great selection of games and jigsaw puzzles from which we could have chosen. It was great to have access to Freesat and the open fire was a real bonus at this time of year. The cottage is excellently positioned for exploring the North Yorkshire coast. Our visit to Whitby Abbey (English Heritage) was particularly memorable as was the town itself. The owners were very kind and considerate and went to great lengths to ensure we were happy. Thank you Dan!

We enjoyed a really quiet and comfortable stay at Wykes Cottage.

Overall cleanliness was good and well equipped. I did hit my head on the low ceiling beam in the second bedroom on our first night on my way to the on suite resulting in a bruised forehead so guests need to be aware of that. Bed in main bedroom very comfortable. WiFi wasn't the best. My only critique would be we would have liked a working outside light.

Great cottage.

Could do with turning up heat when it turned cold during our stay. Would stay again.

Lovely cottage not far from local walks and a short drive to dog friendly pubs.

Easy to access Scarborough,Whitby and Dalby forest.

Lovely tidy and comfortable cottage well equipped with everything needed, Dog friendly and secure.

In a great location for exploring the Moors. Would definatly recommend staying here and would go back.

Nice cottage, lighting in bedroom needs sorting, bed was comfortable and slept well.

. sofa isn't the best and windows needed a clean. Good location to explore and nice walks with nature around.

Good weather all week, cottage everything is there that you need, just a couple of things don't expect to park 2 cars without leaving gates open, and garage is locked so can't use that, as weather was great we could have had a barbecue except there wasn't one.

Apart from that great place, peaceful and quiet.

We had a fantastic stay at Wyke Lodge Cottage.

The cottage is very clean, comfortable and like home from home. Ideal for a family holiday to explore the areas around Scarborough and Whitby!

The cottage was lovely with some quirky bits which only enhanced the charm!

It was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed except for a dishcloth, which would have been useful! The location was perfect to explore the area and the cinder trail was great to take our black Labrador for long walks off the lead down to the pub Hayburn Wyke which was charming and friendly. We will definitely book Wyke Lodge Cottage again. Thank you.

This 2nd time we've stayed and have already made two more bookings.

Both times the property has been clean & well presented with plenty of kitchen equipment. Heating easy to use & we enjoyed feeding/ watching the local birds & squirrels. Looking forward to staying again!

We have been staying in the cottage since 20th December and it is now 20th February, the cottage has been our home and we are sad to be leaving!

Firstly, the cottage has everything you need to live like you are at home and the facilities are second to none (the oven was even better than the one I have at home!) the cottage, even though situated on a road, is extremely peaceful and I’ve had some of the best nights sleep ever here! You are near to the Cinder Track for some lovely walks and a pub (with amazing home cooked food) is not too far (The Hayburn Wyke). It is easy to get all along the coast from the cottage and we have enjoyed some lovely days out in Whitby, Scarborough, Bridlington, York and Malton to name a few. The main highlight of our visit was that any questions we had were promptly answered and advice always helpful! I can honestly say that my partner and I will remember this visit for a very long time and will look back on it with very fond memories! If you want a relaxing home then this is definitely for you! Thanks to everyone for the most amazing stay!!

Had a great stay at the cottage great access to walks around the local area in all directions!

Great access to local areas too. The house was lovely and the open fire was a bonus. Really lovely setting can highly recommend.

We had a lovely stay warm and cosy it was nice and quiet road traffic was not that much of a problem my little dog Charlie loved the walks the squirrels were lovely to watch we did get food for them and all the lovely birds at night the stars were very bright would highly recommend a stay Jill Amy Chris Mary and of course Charlie

Comfortable cottage with everything we required, from dishwasher tablets to coffee, tea, milk and biscuits.

Garden is small but adequate and dog safe. Sun comes around late morning to late afternoon in August, so good for morning coffee and afternoon tea. Area is rural, locals friendly, and most seaside towns are within half an hour’s drive. We loved it, and would stay again.

We had a wonderful week in this lovely cottage.

The owner is very helpful and we found the area amazing. Great walking on the nearby Cinder track with fabulous views. There are two lovely pubs on the road to the cottage. A great cafe for holiday breakfasts and brunches in Scarborough opposite Peasholm park, and next door is a very good fish and chip shop. The Daisy cafe on the way to Proudfoot supermarket does lovely coffee and food. This is a super restful and clean cottage, in a beautiful area with lots see and do. Loved it.

I would recommend this cottage, it is very comfortable.

The rooms are large & comfortable. Nice to have 2 bathrooms, when four of you staying. The kitchen was good & the oven worked well ( some cottages we have stayed in did not have reliable ovens). The TV could pick up plenty of stations. The cottage had plenty of room to park 2 cars. The position of the cottage was nice & near to the cinder track (disused railway) for walks south & north. We particularly liked the walk to Ravenscar.

My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

A couple of glitches were sorted out very quickly by the owner. The cottage is nicely decorated and comfortable. Beautiful surroundings and very quiet considering it is right next to the road. The only drawbacks were access to the house. Because it is situated on a narrow, hilly, bendy road, there is nowhere safe to park a car whilst you negotiate getting the keys from the key safe to open the electric gates, and the kitchen equipment, all of which could do with a bit of updating (especially the range cooker).

Lovely cottage, very clean.

Comfortable, cosy but spacious.Had everything we needed. Great location for exploring Scarborough, Whitby, Filey areas.

Only issue we had was shower downstairs flooded the floor .

...but used towel under shower curtain to stop water...apart from that it was beautiful...

Faultless.

The cottage was spotlessly clean, comfortable and equipped better than any other we’ve ever stayed it ( and we’ve stayed in a lot!) Communication by Sykes and the owner was superb. The cottage is perfectly located and we had the most amazing week there. The heating ( that I noticed was complained about) is fine as long as you understand the system and how it’s suppose to work. No real negative comments to make. Downsides ( which aren’t a reflection on the owner and we were aware of most upon booking, but worth noting for others to be aware of) - It is slightly precarious pulling on the driveway with where the cottage is located on the lane. - We left the bin out as instructed but the council didn’t empty it (was already very nearly full when arrived) It meant having to leave a couple of bags of rubbish on top of the bin, which we felt bad to do but didn’t have time to do anything else with it. - The bathroom upstairs is the en-suite to the twin bedroom so meant tip toeing in at 1am! Was fine for us but if you are staying with separate families, might be a bit awkward. P.S if you intend to have a BBQ, get some utensils. That was the only thing we couldn’t find. Overall, absolutely fantastic stay at Wyke Lodge.

The rug in the living room needs a slip matt underneath.

The cottage is lovely and clean and spacious. I feel for the money you pay your welcome basket in the kitchen could do with improvement, it was just tea and coffee. Nothing for the kids, not even a biscuit!!, if you have travelled a long way and you're waiting for your shopping to be delivered it would be nice. We also had no wood or coal; at the end of the week, it was colder and would have been nice. The facilities are great, lovely location. great information and communication.

found the step at the back door quite high and had difficulty getting in and out of the door.

I am disabled and though I did manage the stairs the two steps to the upstairs bathroom proved more difficult as there was nothijng to hold onto. I also found the toilets rather low, my husband who is 6ft 2 also had a problem!! Apart from this the cottage was super and could not find fault with anything else.

It's a lovely holiday home.

Needs a little bit of tlc eg. Paint in lounge scuffed and chipping off wall looks like a bit of damp. Personal preference I know but didn't like the memory foam mattress in main bedroom. But on plus side there's plenty of room and it's lovely and clean. All in all a lovely break away .

it would have been helpful if we were aware of the extra stairs to enter the twin room to use the toilet facilities.

Nice cottage, very quiet and peaceful and a good base for exploring coast.

The cottage was very clean. It has no garden which may be a draw back to some. Parking is a bit tricky as either side is a blind bend and blind hill so care is needed when going into drive. Not that we saw much traffic. We had a cool week and the c/heating is not very efficient with some radiators not getting very warm. The kitchen was the most sparse I have ever seen and we have stayed in many cottages. No salt and pepper, no oven gloves and nothing left from previous tenants. Not even any cleaning products. Some of the oven trays and pans were a bit past there best. If your self catering you need to take everything you will need.

Great cottage owners kept in contact re power cut.

Bed so comfy. Found most things easy enough. Loved the quirkiness of the cottage. Just needs some re sealant in bathroom areas but hey we all need to do that at sometime.

The bedroom configuration is a bit awkward.

The couple needed a bathroom in the night so slept with the en suite. The single beds were a bit tricky, bedding falling off and one of us was seriously under the eaves! The single guest had to use the bathroom downstairs or also have a single bed. Rest of house was comfortable and well equipped. Bit chilly but weather was wintry.

Lovely cottage in excellent location for the Cleveland Way.

We were walking the coastal section from Saltburn-On-The-Sea to Filey and were able to start three days walking within a 10 minute drive from the house. The accomodation was warm and spacious with a well equipped kitchen. Thanks for sorting out the problem with the hot water quickly.

We had a lovely time in this lovely cottage which is in a great position to explore the east coast of Yorkshire.

Lots to do indoors if the weather is bad with games and DVD’s. Good selection of tourist information (which I have added too) and reading comments in the visitors book we had plenty to fill our week. Had a small problem with the gates but this was rectified within minutes by the owner thank you very much for your prompt attention. Bed was comfortable and the living room cosy with the fire going. The heating was a bit intermittent and I would say as the weather gets colder you do need the fire in the living room.

Very satisfied with our stay at the cottage.

The problem with the fridge was resolved straight away by the owner. Lovely cottage in a quiet location.Enjoyed the holiday very much.

This was not a cheap holiday in comparison to similar, sadly, standards have slipped since our previous visit pre pandemic.

On arrival, a small bucket of coal was supplied but no kindling, paper or matches (the supplied firelighter was empty). So, another visit back to Scarborough was necessary. Owner informed us that this was an oversight. We discovered that the washing machine was literally about to expire, making the most terrible noise and clothes coming out with grubby marks (not there when put in the machine). Owner informed us that he will get this replaced. The bathroom was in need of an overhaul (unfilled holes in the tiles where blinds/curtains had been removed). Owner informed us that the overhaul will be done later in the year. One of the bicycles had a flat tyre so they were no use to us. Forgot to mention this to the owner in my email sent about the above. We are not sure, but believe that the fridge may also be about to expire as the temperature inside seemed irregular - milk went off on a couple of occasions (even though we turned the setting up). On a minor note, the welcome pack was pretty miserly - cheap biscuits, previously opened coffee (leftovers?) and no tea. We have had much nicer ‘welcomes’ from cottages where we paid far less and for shorter stays. It’s the little things that matter. On a positive note (although our experience was overshadowed by the above) this is still a lovely cottage in a super location. We did have a wonderful holiday (helped with the beautiful weather) and would consider returning but would keep an eye on the reviews. Nearby, Bryherstones pub is well worth a visit - booking advisable. We visited twice and each time the food and service were fabulous. In Scarborough, Harbour Bar Italian ice cream parlour (down on the sea front) is amazing, we visited 4 times during our stay. We had considered revisiting the Alpemare water park but on discovering that a 3 hour stay for £18 per adult was a bit excessive so didn’t bother. In Whitby, Sherlocks cafe is well worth a visit - lovely drinks and food with really nice and friendly service and a nice ‘oldie-worldie’ ambiance. If you fancy a cocktail, Harry’s (near the fish market) or Macy Brown’s (near to the Station) are worth popping in. In Pickering, Botham’s tea room (opposite the station) is also well worth a visit for fabulous cake and sandwiches as well as friendly service.

Good location, some pans in the kitchen have seen better days, only one electric socket working in the dining room and I think they have a bee or wasp nest in the roof because they kept us awake from time to time in the main bedroom.

Other than that we enjoyed our stay.

Wyke Lodge is a lovely cottage in a quiet location, and a good base for Whitby, Scarborough, Robin Hoods Bay etc.

The interior is quite spacious but the kitchen and ground floor bathroom are in need of an update. The patio area at the rear is very small, and not totally enclosed, which was a concern for us as we have two dogs and the cottage is situated on a busy road. There was no welcome, or information pack so we had no way of contacting the owner had anything went wrong during our stay, also there was only one door key and electric gate fob, which meant our party of four couldnt go anywhere seperately, and had to go everywhere together. Overall though we enjoyed our week at Wyke Lodge but not sure if we'd go back.

Very nice and clean .

There is no mobile phone signal unless you are with EE . The heating is very inconsistent. Overall had a good stay.

Lovely cottage located in a remote setting away from it all but close enough to all the places to visit at this area of the coast.

Cottage on the whole was beautiful but could benefit from a bit of TLC downstairs. Spacious and well equipped for all types of groups, the upstairs bathroom was a welcome retreat with roll tap bath and ambient lighting. Enclosed patio garden and parking was also a plus for our 2 cars and to keep the dogs safe. Would recommend and visit again.

Excellent location fab walks on the doorstep

Lovely spacious cottage so peaceful but you have Scarborough and whitby not far.

Loved the open fire

Lovely cottage in a great position.

Cozy, clean and well equipped

Had an absolutely amazing week at this gorgeous cottage.

Such a great base to head off on day trips. Very clean, great big rooms and I loved the roll-top bath. When I unfortunately lost the keys to the property the night before we were coming home Sykes Cottages and the owner of Wyke Lodge Cottage were really helpful and understanding, sorted out extremely quickly. Will definitely be back and will be recommending to family/friends. Nikki, Dave & Larry the dog :)

great location ,fantastic cottage large, bedrooms,didnt want to leave,everything that you needed was there,would def recomend

IN THE BACK GARDEN THERE IS A SMALL GAP AT THE TOP SIDE OF COTTAGE WHERE DOGS WHO ARE ADVENTUROUS CAN GET OUT ONTO THE MAIN ROAD, JUST SO PEOPLE ARE AWARE.

WE BLOCKED THIS WITH A CHAIR FROM THE GARDEN WHILE WE WERE THERE AND THEN REPLACED CHAIR AFTERWARDS. APART FROM THAT, THIS WAS FANTASTIC !!

We had a lovely break.

The cottage was in a good location for getting to Scarborough, Robin Hood's Bay and Whitby. Very comfortable and well equipped. Local pub very friendly too!

We had a lovely family holiday at Wyke Lodge Cottage - it met our expectations and was good value for money at a time when so many places are capitalising on the Covid situation and the uncertainty of holidays abroad with rip off prices here in the UK.

Internet connection was very poor, which in fairness we were warned about, and communication from Sykes Cottages throughout has been excellent.

The only problem we had was no phone signal at all.

The cottage was in a beautiful location but a little bit too far from any shops or amenities.

Really lovely spacious cottage in the perfect location for exploring Whitby, Scarborough, Filey that are all just a short drive away.

Quiet peaceful area. Kitchen well equipped with everything you may need for the week. We didn't fancy parking on the road but the garage is moreorless empty so parked a car in there. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

Amazing cottage, great facilities in a fantastic place - plenty of long walks from the door via the cinder track or via the cleveland way.

A truly relaxing place, the cottage was well equipped and spacious and we would definately book again and recommend to others.

Everything fine.

Only one small point: the fridge was very small for a family-sized cottage. We couldn’t get all our food in it. Fortunately, we brought electric cool boxes so it wasn’t a problem for us.

Very big and spacious cottage had everything we needed would definitely recommend.

Fantastic cottage in a great location for exploring the area.

Really comfortable, cosy and well equipped. Loved it and would definitely book again.

The lodge was wonderful, nothing to complain about.

Have recommended it to friends.

Very pleased with the accomodation,beds nice and comfortable.

Lovely clean comfortable cottage.

Very dog friendly area with Whitby and Scarborough close for days out and great area for walks.
