“My wife and I stayed in Well Cottage in Leven from 1st May 2026 for one week.”

First of all I have to say that Well Cottage is the best property we have stayed in anywhere in the country no matter what site we have used for a holiday. Helen was very welcoming from the moment we arrived. Nothing was too much trouble. She welcomed us and showed us around the property, explaining everything we might need, including how to deal with the wood burner. Fortunately the weather was kind and we did not need it.

First of all I have to say that Well Cottage is the best property we have stayed in anywhere in the country no matter what site we have used for a holiday. Helen was very welcoming from the moment we arrived. Nothing was too much trouble. She welcomed us and showed us around the property, explaining everything we might need, including how to deal with the wood burner. Fortunately the weather was kind and we did not need it. There was a very nice welcome pack including a bottle of Prosecco. The quality of the property was outstanding. The decoration throughout was top quality. The bed was very comfortable along with the pillows, something many people concern themselves with when leaving their own home. The property is just off the main road from Beverley. Bus services were just outside to a number of places in the area, including Beverley, Hull and Hornsea. I would definitely recommend this property over any other property in the area. I would love to come back and stay some more and if in East Yorkshire again we will be back. We have told many of our friends about this property. Thanks Helen for making our holiday, our 25th Wedding Anniversary, very special. You should be very proud of what you have created.

“The cottage is excellent.”

We have had many cottage holidays all over the uk and stayed in cottages of very high standards and this didn’t disappoint. We felt that there wasn’t anything missing that we might have needed all the appliancess were of a very good spec. The cottage was very clean and even smelt nice when we walked in which created an excellent first impression. Helen was very helpful and accommodating and was there to help. Everything was just perfect for the type of holiday we wanted. There are excellent Pubs and takeaways in the local area, all within a few minutes drive from the cottage which is always a bonus.

Carole September 2025

“Well Cottage was a WOW!”

Helen (owner) was very pleasant. The cottage was spotlessly clean throughout and we were given the most amazing Welcome Pack. Beds were so comfortable and we especially loved the wool pillows and duvets, making them the best of beds ever.

“Well Cottage is a beautiful cottage, with a wonderful host Helen.”

The cottage itself is immaculate and really cosy, and the location is perfect for travelling to Beverley and all around the East Riding of Yorkshire. We had such a relaxing, lovely week there, with perfect weather too. The icing on the cake is the hot tub in the garden, which was very welcome after a long day of sightseeing!

“Beautiful cottage, furnished to a very high standard and comfort.”

It was spacious and spotlessly clean and equipped with everything you could possibly want. The location was also very good with several towns and villages within easy driving distance, Helen, our host, was lovely, professional and friendly throughout our stay. I strongly recommend Well Cottage.

Tony June 2025

“We had a really lovely stay at Well Cottage.”

The property itself is really beautifully presented, well equipped and close to many convenient local amenities. There was a really generous welcome pack, and the owner was helpful and friendly, whilst also ensuring you have privacy and space. We brought bikes and there were lots of enjoyable rides locally; there are also lots of places to visit a manageable drive away. We’d happily recommend a stay in Well Cottage and would book it again if we return to the region.

The welcome pack was very generous and Helen was a great host (although she could do with a cycling refresher course!) I’d recommend this cottage to anyone.

Tom April 2025

“We have just come back from a lovely 3-day break.”

The house had all mod cons, located across the road from an inviting pub and shop, and a takeaway just around the corner. The house is superb and has lovely decor throughout. The beds are the most comfortable I think I have ever slept in. Helen is warm and inviting. We were greeted with a stocked fridge, breakfast items, a bottle of prosecco on ice, and Easter eggs for all of us. The hot tub is great and is maintained every day. Every TV in the property is huge and has full Sky TV. We will definitely be back and hope to go again early December this year! Just a short drive to Hull and Hornsea, so plenty to do. 5 stars!

- Tom, April 2025

Thank you so much for you lovely feedback :))) very much appreciated. Property Owner

“Helen was a fantastic host, available when needed, but otherwise let us enjoy the beautiful cottage.”

The robes and slippers were an added luxury as was the welcome pack complete with fizz! The cottage was very well equipped with quality appliances and the hot tub was maintained every day by Helen. Would definitely recommend!

Paula September 2024

“Property far exceeded our expectations.”

After a 9 hour drive it was far more than we had hoped for. Photographs do not do it justice. On arrival Helen was there to greet us to show us around her beautiful holiday home. Local amenities were right on the doorstep. Shop, pub, takeaway and bus stop, all of which we used. House was beautiful, decorated to very high standard and immaculately cleaned. Beds were comfortable and showers amazing. The private hot tub was a perfect end to a busy day exploring the local area. You must try the Dacre Arms in Brandsburton, the fish and chips and surf and turf were the best meals we ate, Helen you should be very proud of your holiday home it was simply amazing. If we were closer then we would definitely be back. Thankyou for a lovely stay. Paula and Graeme.

- Paula, September 2024

Wow what a lovely review thank you so much And also to receive a gift from you on arrival was so so lovely thanks again Property Owner

Christopher April 2024

“We have just returned from this Beautiful cottage after choosing it to celebrate my wife's 40th birthday week after seeing the property and thinking how beautiful it looked .”

It wasn't until you got into the place that the WOW factor really hits you.The lovely Julie showed us around and the pictures on Sykes website really don't do it justice,it's an absolute stunning property. The decor is fantastic, everything is high end top spec , TV's are huge the beds are very comfortable and the hot tub was fantastic. The whole cottage screamed luxury as soon as you walk through the door. Great location and plenty to do around the area and we enjoyed every minute. We have stayed in a lot of properties in the UK and Well cottage is by far the best one we have stayed in, and won't hesitate to visit again. You certainly won't be disappointed if you have booked this amazing property. Chris, Emma,Abbie and Josh

“Wonderful cottage, it had everything we needed, plus more, and all was high quality, from the kitchen equipment to the bathroom towels.”

Jo October 2023

“Wow! Well Cottage is a fantastic place to stay!”

Helen and Lee are amazing hosts, nothing is too much trouble and the place is decorated throughout to the highest standard. It’s full of mod cons, beautiful artwork and lots of extra little touches that we’ve never had in places that we’ve stayed before. From a huge comfy bed to a luxury copper bath, top-notch showers, modern central heating, a beautiful log fire, a big secluded hot tub and private garden with furniture and bbq, the list goes on! And not forgetting the kitchen aid toaster and kettle which we loved! It was just what we needed for a quiet relaxing week away and we didn’t want to leave! We visited Hull, Beverley and Hornsea which were all close by and had a fabulous time. (Lily’s Fish & Chips in Hornsea was the best we’ve ever had!) We also had a couple of days just chilling at the cottage and in the hot tub as the place is so cosy, homely and roomy and the huge tv’s (all with Sky movies and sports) meant that we could relax in real comfort! The welcome pack was first class and the bottle of bubbly went down a treat on my birthday! So basically what I am saying is do not hesitate to book this hidden gem, we have recommended it to family and friends and we’ll definitely be back. Congratulations Helen and Lee, you should be proud and hope to see you again soon, Jo & Vinny x

- Jo, October 2023

hey Jo & Vinny :) thank you so much for this lovely feedback, and for leaving the cottage immaculately clean, very much appreciated ;)) x hope to see you again sometime :) Property Owner

Clive September 2023

“We were greeted on arrival by the lovely Helen who showed us round Well Cottage of which she is deservedly proud.”

The welcome pack is the best we have ever seen. The cottage was spotlessly clean with everything top quality and like new. The beds were extremely comfortable and towels of a good size (wrap right round you – other cottages please note). With the high tech kettle and toaster (the latter an experience in itself) added to the coffee machine, 3 televisions, the touch light on the bed and the mirror that lights up when you look into it, we soon learned that technology plays a big part here, although my wife couldn't manage to turn off the TV in the main bedroom! (obviously a knack). Never having used a hot tub before I was apprehensive about how to fill it etc. but needn't have worried as it was up to temperature and ready to go (and very private). A wonderful experience. Set in a delightful quiet village facing onto a courtyard with other cottages owned by Helen (who happens to live next door). The best cottage we have stayed in.

Sue September 2023

“Well Cottage is perfect.”

It has been designed,decorated and furnished to such a high standard and I would be happy to recommend to anyone. Helen is a great host and so welcoming. It is ideal for exploring that area of coast and countryside. The welcome pack was a lovely touch and the hot tub amazing!

Helen August 2023

“Well cottage is a gem of a find.”

Helen is an amazing host, very welcoming and goes that extra mile to ensure you have everything you need for your stay. The welcome cart, with cereals, muffins, tea, coffee& biscuits is a 5 star hotel touch, real butter, milk & chilled Prosecco, Helen does think of everything. The cottage is in a great location for exploring, Flamborough & Robins Hood Bay a must. There’s also plenty of good restaurants near by in Beverley, Brandesburton which are a short drive. Well Cottage offers everything you need, beautiful furnishings, comfortable beds, nice enclosed garden with hot tub & stone built barbecue. The property itself is in a pretty courtyard location, with Helen and Lee on site should you need anything. Leven itself is a pretty village, with 2 Pubs, takeaway that does everything!, a well stocked local shop, butchers & Deli. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely return.

“Absolutely stunning cottage!”

! Photos don’t do it justice. Everything was of an extremely high standard and the hosts were extremely welcoming and accommodating. The welcome pack was wonderful, Prosecco on ice, scones and other little treats. The bed was the most comfortable we have ever slept in and the hot tub was perfect. The location is fantastic too, literally two minutes walk for the local pub, shop, takeaway and butchers. We will definitely love to return here in the future. Thank you for such an amazing stay!

Shelagh July 2023

“Really enjoyed our stay at the beautifully decorated Well Cottage.”

It’s in a lovely quiet area and we were made very welcome by the owners Helen and husband who live next door. The level of comfort provided is exceptional with every need catered for. Not only we’re we supplied with chilled prosecco on arrival but homemade scones too. Having a hot tub in the garden was an added bonus especially if we didn’t want to go far. However there are many places to visit in the area. We particularly enjoyed Bridlington south beach. There are many places to eat within 30 minutes drive. Particularly recommend the Tiger Inn in Beverley but it’s best to ring & book a couple of days in advance. Highly recommend this cottage for a relaxing luxury getaway.

From entering the cottage we knew we had made a great choice for our week away. Helen, the cottage owner was really lovely and greeted us on our arrival and after a quick tour of the cottage we couldn’t wait to get settled in. The hot tub and wood burner were definitely an added bonus. We will, without a doubt, return to Well Cottage again in the near future. Thank you Helen for your kind hospitality.

“Absolutely stunning property and to be honest the photos don't do it justice its even more gorgeous in person!”

Helen is a fantastic host and put lighting on for us, heating and even lit the log burner just before we arrived so it was so lovely and cosy. She wanted to greet us and show us round which is a really nice touch. The cottage is finished to an EXTREMELY high standard, huge sky glass TVs in every room with sky Q, very nice coffee machine etc, Neff slide and hide oven! The interior is beautiful. The property was decorated beautifully for Christmas- the tree especially was gorgeous! It has absolutely everything you could need in the kitchen etc. Fresh milk and butter was also provided along with the usual refreshments and even some mince pies and prosecco on ice for our arrival
