Lythe Cottage

The cottage was very nice , but too cold for this time of the year needs more heaters down stairs .

There was some logs but not enough for our stay so we had to go out and buy some more . It was very convenient as my daughter lives in the village just across the road

Absolutely loved this cottage.

The log fire was so cosy. I could of stayed another week. Great location. I would love to know where to get one of the Tom Stewart prints from. I couldn't find him online. Highly recommend.

We had a lovely stay.

Initially a small issue with the heating. This was quickly resolved by Claire and Richard. They gave us some great tips on using the Woodburner. Which soon had us cosy and warm. Excellant regular bus service right outside the door. Nice walks into Sandsend and Whitby. Lovely Village community shop for supplies straight across the road. Excellant homemade quiche, cakes and scones sold there. Thankyou for a lovely stay.

Had a great Christmas in a lovely cosy & clean cottage !

Lythe Cottage was very clean and comfortable and cosy.

The cottage is well located for the Yorkshire coast and National Park. The allocated parking space was close by and the local community shop well stocked and friendly.

Had another lovely few days by the sea, the accommodation is clean and conveniently located.

We had a lovely stay at the cottage.

It was very clean and tidy and comfortable. It had everything we needed. It was so nice of you to leave some milk tea coffee biscuits .we would stay again and recommend it to other friends and family. Also the people round about were very kind and friendly. Thankyou for a lovely week in your beautiful cottage.

Thankyou for making our holiday perfect.

This little cottage was spotlessly clean and there was tea, milk and biscuits left for us so that we could relax after our journey. The bed was comfortable, the shower worked well and there was a modern smart TV. The bus stop close to the property was great and we were able to travel to lots of beautiful places on the bus. All in all a great place to stay.

Beautiful cosy cottage and just the blanket we needed to unwind.

Fantastic location too. Will definitely be back. Super hosts left a welcome basket with much needed tea, milk and biscuits and for Daisy Dog too! We had forgotten ear plugs

We needed to stay in lythe and wanted somewhere where our dog could stay too so those were limiting factors.

Lythe cottage fitted the bill and we believe the owners wanted to be welcoming but we are unlikely to book again. The cottage felt a bit pokey and being right on the main road from Whitby to Staithes meant it was noisy particularly as the only windows which would open in the bedroom were on the road side. The kitchen was extremely narrow and when we got there we discovered guests were not welcome, which was disappointing as we wanted to have our cousins to supper - we are all middle aged and sensible and the photographs show a table with four chairs but the house welcome pack says no visitors. The sheet were nylon mix so it felt very hot at night with the window (see above) closed because of the noise. The waiter system was a little tricky and we ran out of hot although we were careful with consumption. Finally the fridge could do we a really good clean. All in all we felt it wasn't particularly good value at £150ish a night... although on the bright side the village shop was a joy and we bought lots from the lovely people there.

The cottage is absolutely wonderful!

It is beautifully laid out, very comfy bed, fabulous bathroom and good fitted kitchen. This is our second year of staying and we'll deffinatly be booking again for next year. We've highly recommend it to our family and friends. Cannot fault anything!

This is our second stay at Lythe cottage.

We enjoy the area and would recommend the cottage for a comfortable and homely base. The cottage was welcoming and sits in a pretty village.

Came here a year ago, had a great time here then and did not disappoint this time.

Excellent location for getting out and about. Great for walking into Whitby and driving to other places. Very comfortable and clean, had everything we needed and had a very relaxing break. Clair and Richard very helpful to make sure that we had a great holiday. Thank you so much. Would highly recommend this cottage.

very comfortable lovely cottage, everything you need one of the most comfy beds i have slept in

This is a lovely cottage in an perfect location a few miles north of Whitby, to explore the North York moors and Yorkshire coastline.

The cottage has lots of character and is comfortable and snug with the log burner stove in the living room. Lythe village has a pub next door and a community shop, plus an enclosed dog exercise green just opposite the cottage alongside the car park. Other comments have mentioned the road that runs past the cottage, but we found no issue, it is not a busy road and overnight there is next to no traffic so we slept undisturbed. The cottage is well serviced by public transport with regular buses to Whitby and beyond. The walk down to Sandsend and on to Whitby along the beach offers wonderful views , you can walk through Mulgrave Castle parkland and woods on Wednesday and Saturday/Sunday but it is closed to the public at other times. The round trip is quite a hike, but you could always take a bus on the return journey and avoid the walk up the hill to Lythe. We had a fantastic sunny week in February and walked everyday, our dog Baxter loved the beach walk at Sandsend to Whitby.

A great experience both booking, and staying.

a lovely little cottage with good access and parking. the prppety is warm and well presented with quality linen, towels and furnishings, We booked as pet friendly and it is nice to have extra covers provided to put on the furniture and bed to take the worry away of any dirty paws. I would highly recommend this apartment

This is the best place to stay if you want to explore the fantastic coastline of this beautiful part of the east coast or even if you just want to sit back and have a wonderful relaxing time in a great location it is also a step back in time to see the wonderful cottage and the surrounding areas just one word Fantastic Patrick and Marlene and of course our four legged friend Star will.

Be back next year

Our stay at Lythe cottage was a joy, a traditional old cottage with charm and modern amenities.

Clean and cosy, the bed was very comfortable and the cottage was well equipped. A very well prepared handbook for guests and information on the surrounding area was appreciated. I have no doubt we will be back. Thank you for a lovely stay.

The cottage was a home from home.

You could chill out and relax. The information book supplied by the owners covered everything so was great to refer to. Thought the busy road was going to be a problem noise wise but the double glazing reduced this. The stairs in the cottage are steep so I'd echo the owners advice of not suitable for people with reduced mobility. Cottage is a great base to explore the surrounding area. The Stiddy is well worth a vist lovely staff & food. All in all a great stay

We had a fabulous holiday, all made possible by staying at this wonderful cottage.

We found everywhere very clean, beautifuly presented, very comfy seating, bed and bedding first class. We consider ourselves very lucky to have discovered this cottage. All ready booking again.

This was a lovely stay in the grade 2 listed cottage but if I have one criticism is the comfort of the settee.

Everything else was good with the amenities which included the bus service right outside the door which ran between Middlesbrough and Whitby. This service was a better option than using my car. The Stiddy next door was an added bonus. I would defininetely stay again

Lovely cottage with quality decor and furnishings, plus well equipped kitchen.

I appreciated the milk and biscuits, and dog biscuits, on arrival. Bus service was frequent and reliable so I mostly left my car at the property. Enjoyed meals at the pub next door and at the Hart in Sandsend. I'd definitely stay here again.

The cottage was absolutely beautiful.

It was exactly as we pictured it from the photos. Very comfortable and warm and cosy. The log burner was great and got really hot. Bed was very comfortable with plenty of storage for clothes. Well stocked kitchen with plenty of appliances and utensils, with milk and tea-coffee to start us off. There was even dog bowls, blankets and treats for Daisy our dog.The cottage was very clean and presentable. The Stiddy next door did excellent food as did the Hart inn in Sandsend. Lovely walk into Whitby and great bus service to get back ( very steep hill from Sandsend did it once, not again) . Overall had a really good relaxing stay and would highly recommend Lythe cottage

The property is feet away from a very busy road.

The road noise is high and for us was a constant irritation. Particularly so in the early hours of the morning. there were other issues with the property which we have raised with the owners. These are subjective observations so I do not intend to make them public. I am sure the owners will review them and act as they feel is appropriate. On a positive note, the owners acted very promptly to resolve one particular issue. Also, the property is well placed for catching the X4 bus in either direction which opens up the possibility for walks on the coastal path. there is a friendly pub next door but opening times are limited off season

Charming little cottage set in a beautiful area.

We both fell in love with the property. We appreciated having the little comforts being readily available like milk in the fridge, tea, coffee & sugar, the wood burner stocked and ready to go. Cannot fault how well stocked with utensils the kitchen was. Had all the the appliances needed to keep the property clean. We adored having the games to play and books to read. A slight inconvenience was having no hot water in the basin in the bathroom and not getting the digital TV to work, however we weren't there to watch TV. The building is stunning and would love to know the period of the property. We would definitely recommend staying here and will be returning in the future. Ben and Emily

This was our second time at Lythe cottage .

Great location . Cottage had everything we needed . Very clean & warm . Didn’t light the fire as it was plenty warm enough. Lovely bedding & towels . Plenty of hot water other than in bathroom hand basin which was cold . Great shower . Only issue was the settee in the lounge which was very uncomfortable. Would definitely stay again

The cottage was stunning and exactly what we needed.

Well equipped and warm (we stayed in February) everything had been thought of from kindling for the fire to dog blanket and biscuits. Thank you! Everything was clean and comfortable and in good working order. The Stiddy Pub next door was so welcoming and the food was outstanding. The bus stops right outside the cottage and runs regularly until late in the evening. The village shop was well stocked and very friendly too. We'd highly recommend Lythe Cottage for a peaceful stay in a lovely village. Thank you

Terrible stay we were freezing the whole of the stay, tried to complain to sykes but just keep getting automated response emails

Lovely cosy cottage would recommend it and will be returning

Had a lovely holiday in your beautiful cottage.

You would have to go a long way to find such a beautiful village.
