The Goat Shed

If you want peace and quite, country setting the odd farm noises but never intrusive, our dog Teddy a red toy poodle loved every minute of the stay its great little hideaway,highly recommend,loved it this was our second stay and we were both sure the cottage would not blow away in a gale,Thank you very much.

Val and Adrian,

lovely cottage very quite easy reach to Whitby Robin hoods bay and Goathland will go again cant fault it at all many thanks for a lovely holiday

We had a really enjoyable Easter break at The Goat Shed which was quaint, cosy and lovely.

The location was beautiful, far away from the bank holiday crowds to enjoy some peace and nature but still within walking/driving distance to Robin hoods bay and Whitby. A very comfortable and pleasant stay, thank you!

The cottage was perfect.

It was so cosy and we had everything we needed. The location was great, it was so peaceful.

We had a really great stay at the Goat Shed.

It was a great base for us to explore the area and a lovely place to come back to each evening. Really glad we picked to stay at this cottage

We had lovely weekend and could not fault the accommodation at all.

The cottage had all the facilities we needed and we was lovely and warm on a cold weekend. The only problem was the loss of the internet. Normally this would not bother us but our daughter in law is seriously ill and we were on stand by to look after our grandchildren. Our neighbour had turned off the router and left us without any internet. Perhaps a note near the router would prevent this happening again. Once again thank you.

3rd time here / great base to explore

Lovely cosy cottage , stayed before and liked the location for walks into whitby and robin hoods bay will return .

This was the best place we have stayed in, the place was very cosy and homely, comfortable.

we found it to be in a perfect location with easy to get to everywhere. I would recommend this place and we are going to return again. Best holiday ! Thank you, my only small detail I would suggest would be to introduce a small welcome pack which would be the icing on the cake. Loved it x

We found Kaye to be very welcoming and helpful when we arrived.

The cottage is lovely and warm,spotlessly clean and tidy. The bed a kingsize is very comfotable. It has a very good sized shower. plenty of hot water. Its so peaceful and relaxing. Our Border Collie also enjoyed her visit, There is good sized grass area for dogs to play and run on. We know the area well. this is a perfect location. Wendy

We loved our stay at the goat shed lovely place , lovely walks & close to Whitby , we would recommend to all our friends

Lovely cottage and great location for visiting popular attractions.

Peaceful and quiet and away from the hustle and bustle. Second time of visiting this cottage.

Loved staying at the Goatshed, were made to feel welcome and hope to return.

The bed was v comfortable and towels in particular were huge & wonderful. Yes the weather helped, but it's a great place to spend a week and an excellent location if you want to explore the coast & moors.

Nice barn and setting peaceful

What a lovely little cottage.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The cottage was warm and cosy but plenty of room for 2. Well equipped with all cooking utensils. The owners are very nice and friendly would definitely recommend The Goat Shed.

The goat shed was lovely and warm and the bed very comfortable.

We enjoyed are stay and places like Whitby and Robin Hoods bay are close to visit. Goathland also worth visiting where you can walk to the water spout. The Goat Shed is in a lovely quiet area and amazing stars at night due to no light pollution. The owner met us and was very welcoming. The only issue the garden is not fully dog secure. I have a terrier and would have got over the low fence gap at the back of the garden. Apart from that it was a lovely relaxing place and we enjoyed are stay.

This was perfect accommodation for our needs.

It was warm, comfortable and a very safe outside space for our small dog.

We arrived at the Goat Shed to be greeted by the owner, who was very pleasant, and showed us around and told us to contact her should we need anything during our stay.

She showed us the dog field, however the adjoining cottage holiday guest pointed out that it is not secure. My dog has good recall, but for any dogs likely to seek further adventures, this could prove to be a problem. Initialling we were disappointed to find there was no welcome pack, as we had travelled a fair way and were in desperate need of a cuppa. Tea and coffee were supplied but no milk etc. Places we have stayed before have provided bread, milk, cooked breakfast supplies etc The main shops can be found a couple of miles away in Whitby so we went shopping for supplies. The cottage itself was quirky, clean, warm and comfortable. The bed was so very comfy with quality bedding. I have never slept so well anywhere, as it is quiet, dark and so cosy. The shower is excellent as is the hair dryer. The only windows in the lounge look out onto a courtyard so no views to look out onto. There are just skylights in the bedroom and bathroom. The garden again could do with higher fencing to the right as my dog was very interested to escape from the gap in the corner, so I had to keep an eye on her. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to return. The cottage is lovely and quiet, away from it all, on a farm, however very handy for visiting Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay, Scarborough, and other lovely places. Constructive Feedback :- A welcome pack would be most welcome The dog field and enclosed garden needs a little fixing Otherwise excellent accommodation

A masterclass in holiday accomodation.

I fact, this design would suit us for a comfortable, compact retirement home. Built of solid stone, with huge thick walls, designed to shrug off anything the coastal weather can throw at it, but remain warm and comfy inside, we experienced a night of severe weather during our stay. The high ceilings and rooflights make it feel light and spacious. With the one room living area having everything you need in a well designed layout. The bathroom was also light and spacious, with an excellent walk in shower. The bedroom at the end had no windows, but two large skylights above the bed, with sliding screens to cut out the light. We left them open, and could see the stars shining brightly, and twice saw meteors flash across the sky. Proximity to all the sites, Whitby, Sandsend, Robin hoods bay, Boggle hole, Falling fosse waterfall made it an excellent base for exploring, even in the winter. Places like Goathland barely half an hour away, with Malyon Spout and moorland walking routes. The residents dog paddock was great for the dog and the enclosed patio was great to keep the wind off. Would we stay again? It's a matter of when, not if. One of the best places we've stayed in during our post retirement tours of the UK that has seen us visit from Berwick on Tweed in the north, to the isles of Scilly in the south.

Lovely few days away, beautiful cottage in a quiet location with stunning views & close to Robin Hoods Bay & Whitby.

The cottage was very clean & had everything you needed. Would highly recommend.

Great place to stay, perfect for taking your dog as has an enclosed garden and a field.

The cottage was well equipped and very cosy, and close to Whitby and Robin hoods bay. Kaye was very friendly and sorted any issues very quickly. Thanks for a lovely relaxing break.

Lovely cozy cottage and well equipped, except no handsoap and only around 12 sheets of loo roll (and no spare) which meant we had to head out again to the supermarket.

Bathroom handsoap and loo roll are essentials in my opinion and this is the first holiday-home we've come across where there hasn't been any tor enough to last 12-24 hours. No salt for cooking (also a steriliser) or pepper - another first for us, so we live and learn. If booking ensure you bring with you. Only one bin in the kitchen - no bathroom bin. Dropped one star as it's all comparative. However the cottage was in a great location and we explored the surrounding area and had a great time.

All we wanted was pleasant change of scenery and good rest, with a comfortable clean bed each night.

It ticked all that. The goat shed is a warm and cosy, well equipped attractive accommodation. Everything as stated in the description and situated in an excellent position. Not far from Robins Hood Bay and Whitby and the Abbey a little further into Scarborough. All pleasant places to visit with an abundance of fish and chip shops , and every other type of restaurant shops and harbours. Plenty to do if wanted and lots of walking if that’s your preference in Beautiful settings We enjoyed a brief chat with the pleasant owner on our arrival..

A peaceful and comfortable base for exploring the area.

Had an absolutely brilliant stay at The Goat Shed, so relaxing and quiet.

Very clean and comfortable, loved the king size bed and our dog particularly loved the secure field. Only a short drive in to whitby, robin hoods bay, boggle hole and falling Foss. Will definitely be booking again.

Lovely cottage, everything we needed, would highly recommend the goat shed.

The goat shed for us is perfect allowing us to take our pet dog easy reach of places to visit we had a great time our hosts were lovely my wife and I won’t hesitate to book next year this will be our third visit thank you .

Mr and Mrs Thurlow

No already left comments in her own book

Ideal if you have a dog with the enclosed garden.

All facilities provided in kitchen etc. Very comfortable bed. Only downside, there is nowhere you can walk to easily to have an evening meal. Pubs and supermarkets a short drive. Very peaceful location.

Very good nice location a bit cold and windy but warm inside Kay explained everything on arrival ,hope to go again sometime .

We really enjoyed our week’s stay in this property which is located a few miles outside Whitby and was an ideal base for exploring the locality.

We found the property clean, well maintained, comfortable and well equipped. Off road parking is available adjacent to the premises. Would we return to this property again – yes. Would we recommend this property – yes.

Lovely and clean easily accessible lovely host would not hesitate to recommend good base for looking around the area

Will be going back next year

Nice clean cottage.

Shower not well designed. Only 1 toilet roll left for our 3 night stay. Heating went off during the night even though it is still winter. Kitchen well stocked with utensils. Bed very comfortable . Overall very nice place to have a quiet relaxing break.

Lovely cottage lovely people we will be back again Easy super markets and fuel,really enjoyed our stay

The Goat Shed was just perfect for a winter holiday break.

Cozy, warm and had everything we needed for a great break. The cold weather and snow made it a unique stay, and the ability to walk out of the cottage right down into snowy Robin Hods Bay was excellent. It's also a great place for the dog, enclosed courtyard, separate dog playing field at the property. Overall we had a fantastic holiday and would recommend the Goat Shed.

The Goat Shed is a little gem of a cottage.

Very cosy with comfortable bed and sofa. Spotlessly clean and well equipped. Also set in a peaceful location for a truly restful holiday.

Very comfortable, cosy cottage.

Great location for visits to Scarborough, Whitbyetc. Description needs updating though, as there is no longer a dvd player and no washing machine(as seen in photo of property) Would definitely go there again.

Fantastic property very clean great friendly welcoming hosts been before and booked again .

Wonderful place to stay, so close to the beaches too.

Everything available in the cottage, nice to have it decorated for Christmas too. So warm , and the bed is more comfortable than my own!

An excellent little cottage, warm & cosy, especially at this time of year with the snow & Ice.

Everything you could ask for in a home from home short break.

The photos do not do this property justice- my wife and dog loved it

lovely cottage and fantastic hosts, nothing we missed not even a dishwasher would go again.

Just lovely

Loved staying at the Goat Shed.

A real home from home feel to it and has everything needed for a relaxing stay. Cosy and comfortable, with beautiful views. Slept so well in the comfy bed. Ideal base for exploring the surrounding areas.

Hi yes a very enjoyable stay would recommend it to friends and relatives.

We will be returning

Nice comfortable cottage well equipped , good location for exploring the area ,only critasision bedside rugs would have been nice

Really nice and well equipped, home from home, thoroughly recommend and would go again.

We had the most amazing stay and could have done another week.

Loved everything about the Goat shed, it was home from home. Well equipped, clean, warm and comfortable. A beautiful, quite place, with bird song everywhere around the cottage and fields. Loved the doggie field and the little enclosed safe garden for our dog. Easy access to everywhere. Robin Hoods Bay, Whitby, Scarborough, Staithes, Ravenscar, Goathland, Filey, Bridlington etc. Thank you so much for an amazing delightful stay. We will definitely recommend The Goat shed to our fiends and family.

When we arrived we were greeted by Kaye /Alex made to feel welcome parking was very good and close to the property had our own secure area to sit outside and enjoy a drink the interior was very clean at night it was very quiet and peaceful and felt secure and safe definitely would stay again we had a lovely holiday Richard/ Tracey

A very pleasant stay at the Goat Shed.

Large comfy bed and a living space combined with kitchen area. Only Connect 4 and a pack of cards to amuse you on a rainy day. Could do with another wine glass as it only had one! Great dog area for your canine friend to run around.

Great holiday lovely stay in cottage we had a good time week not enough such a big area to walk good pubs to take our dog home time to quick good hosts

We had wonderful stay the owners were welcoming and could not fault it.

We had a wonderful relaxing holiday and the enclosed courtyard was brilliant our dog thoroughly enjoyed it.Thanks for a marvellous holiday.

Absolutely loved my recent stay at The Goat Shed.

Great rural location but close to popular places of interest. Comfortable cosy cottage with secure courtyard garden and a lovely field allocated for dogs. Friendly owners. Would definitely recommend.

The Goat Shed is lovely.

Comfortable, clean, welcoming. The pictures on the website could do with updating though as the kitchen shows there is a washing machine. The washing machine has been taken away and replaced with storage drawers. When booking holidays I always prefer to stay somewhere you can do your washing as that determines how much I need to pack. That is the only thing that let it down for me. I would stay again regardless of that.

Absolutely beautiful stay at the goat shed ❤️ we will be back it’s a little hidden treasure.

A truly unique property superbly located overlooking Whitby and a comfortable walk to Robin Hood Bay.

Cottage was lovely warm and cosy with Everything you needed.

Safe and quiet close easy reach to lots of places, went for some super walks and can’t wait to go back. Towels were great

Excellent accommodation, home from home comforts.

Excellent location, a few miles from Robin Hood's Bay and Whitby. A cosy, warm and a safe place to stay. Highly recommended.

Lovely cottage well equipped and comfy.

So near to Robin Hood bay and Whitby. Had a great time touring picketing , scarbourgh and Filey and the dog loved it. Will be goi g back . Isobel , Rob and Byron the

This was a beautiful little cottage.

Very clean and tidy and a lovely welcome with little Christmas tree to get you feeling festive. Would highly recommend this lovely cottage.

A relaxing and enjoyable stay in clean, delightfully decorated comfort.

Close to everywhere we wanted to see in the area Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay and the Cinder Track. Fabulous walking and dog friendly to boot! Excellent!

Fabulous holiday, great place to stay.

Thank you xx

The Goat Shed is an amazing place to stay.

Exceptionally clean and comfortable. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. It's surroundings are beautiful. Ideal for family pets who are catered for. Wouldn't hesitate to go again and would highly recommend a stay here.

Had everything we needed for our stay thank you

ideal with our dog with the enclosed courtyard and dog field, cottage comfortable.

Would recommend this cottage for its location , Owners on site

A great place for a relaxing break away from the day-to-day stress of life, the welcome we received from the owner was second to none.

We felt chilled and at ease within seconds of our arrival. The comfort, facilities and the homely feel of the Goat Shed supported by the location and the owners courtesy made this a very memorable holiday, thank you.

The lady who met us was very friendly and helpful.

The cottage was clean and everything we needed was there. The enclosed garden was a real bonus Tilly could be outside and safe. We would definitely recommend the Boat shed.

The only issue we had it stated that it was dog friendly.

The stone floor in the cottage which was cold and slippery and gravel on the outdoor area did not suit our dog and she did not Settle all week The cottage was very clean, roomy, well maintained, with quality furniture

Everything was spot on for our holiday - even the weather!

Shorts and tee shirts all week - in March. Nice to sit out in the private outside space, safe for the dog to go in and out too. We will be back - thanks again for everything

Lovely place set back overlooking Whitby, if you like piece and quiet this is the place.

Considering you are high up overlooking the countryside, the goat shed is lovely and warm and cosy with everything you need within. We slept like a log on both nights. All the fresh bedding and towels provided are clean and smell lovely, shower room is very spacious and clean. Kitchen area plenty of space and work top to do all your cooking, yo don’t need anything with you except clothing and personal stuff, private garden outside the shed for more privacy, would recommend to anyone who wants a retreat, oh and Wi-Fi is spot on

Absolutely fantastic place Alex & kaye were very helpful indeed as me & my partner had never been up that neck of the woods before definitely going back

The Goat Shed was the perfect place to relax and recharge.

It was perfectly positions for sight seeing and we would definately come back again.

Clean, comfortable and spacious.

Perfect for us and our pet. Close to Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay. Plenty of room for parking. Would definitely recommend and will be returning.

We have stayed at the Goatshed a few times now- always enjoy our stay, the cottage is just What we need for us and our dogs- love staying there

Had a great time at the goat shed what a beautiful location.

Plenty of lovely walks on the door step. Loved the private sitting area, great when you have a dog with you, being able to relax and not worry about the dog. The only niggle was the fridge was on the small side, struggled to fit all our food in. The only thing that marred our stay was the diesel situation, didn't travel as far as we would have liked in case we could not fill up for return journey home. Would highly recommend.

We had a lovely stay the cottage is well placed for lots of beautiful walks.

One small problem is the mattress on the bed it is very hard , perhaps a topper would make it comfortable.

The Goat Shed was a great base to explore the North Yorkshire coast, it had everything we needed for our stay and was very comfortable.

Host was friendly and helpful.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Ideal as a tranquil haven but in close proximity to Robin Hoods Bay and Whitby. Car definitely required.

Good to have our own private outside patio space with secure fencing for our high anxiety dog.

Very comfortable, nicely decorated accommodation, although could do with full size under-counter fridge, as we struggled to get all our food and drink in it. Ideally located with many walks from the door to Robin Hood's Bay and the Cleveland Way. All in all, a lovely holiday. We will be back!

A lovely cosy retreat for two.

Lovely comfortable accommodation which was perfect for us and our dog.

Private outdoor space with sun all day. Great location just outside Robin Hoods Bay with walking onto the moors.

Excellent location close to Robin Hood's Bay, Whitby and the Cleveland Way walking trail.

Cosy cottage with everything we needed for a great holiday. The excellent weather made our week perfect.

We stayed at the Goat Shed in October.

We loved the tranquil location of this cottage, a good walk into Robin Hoods Bay so would not be for everyone, but as we love walking this was not a problem for us. The owner was waiting for our arrival and showed us around this lovely and cosy cottage, it had everything we needed. After days out walking it was good to return to the warmth of this cottage. It is not far from Whitby and Scarborough, Aldi and Lidl were only about 5 to 10 minutes by car to stock up on any provisions. We would recommend the Goat Shed to anyone who prefers to stay in a quiet location.

Had holidays with Sykes in the past always had a positive experience this time the cottage fell well short on cleanliness and left us disappointed especially in these hygiene conscious times,mainly kitchen cupboards and draws and utensils all had to be washed before use.

The location and surroundings were idiotic Shame really.

We were really pleased with this cottage.

Generous space. Very comfortable and really handy for the beauty spots. Would definitely recommend to those seeking comfort and quality in this area of outstanding beauty.

we had a lovely stay, the cottage is cosy.

you can can go on beautiful walks from the doorstep there is a washing machine which isnt mentioned in the details which was very useful. already booked for next year.

The Goat Shed was perfect and exceeded our expectations and all holiday information from Sykes and the cottage owner was timely and very informative.

Stayed a few times and always comfortable and relaxing

Wow!

This place is the perfect base for walks straight from the door step. Peaceful, clean and bright, well equipped and comfortable, warm and plenty of hot water. We were really surprised at the size of the place, with ample room outside including parking. Star gazing in bed...Just perfect! We loved it, our dog loved it! Only grumble....We didn't stay long enough - Will definitely be returning! Thank you for a lovely stay!

The Goat Shed was immaculate.

A home from home. We had a lovely stay there with our little border terrier Ralph. The Goat Shed was warn, cosy, really well equipped and the lighting amazing. It's a bit off the beaten track, but theres a pub at the bottom of the hill along with a nice little shop that's stocks everything you could need. We had a couple of lovely meals at the pub and chose to get a taxi back to The Goat Shed, worth £6 of anybody's money!!! We hope to visit again and recommend this romantic getaway.

The Goatshed was a warm, welcoming, clean, comfortable and dog friendly, which is a must for our two active Terriers.

We had four days of exploring Robin Hoods Bay, where a bacon sandwich and pot of tea are a must at Tea, Toast and Post, after a coastal trek. We also covered some of the Cleveland Way and Cinder Track through Scarbourough and Whitby with a stop at the Abbey. Ravenscar WW2 look out and signal tower was atmospheric and informative. We ate at the Fylingdale Inn and would recommend this too.

The Goat Shed is larger than I expected with lovely stone floors and a high, beamed ceiling.

Well equipped with everything that I needed for a short walking break. During my November stay it was warm, cosy and comfortable. It is situated in fantastic walking country. No WiFi or mobile phone signal (EE) which could be a good or bad thing, depending on your point of view. I have booked another visit.

The goat shed is such a perfect holiday cottage you will not want to leave!

Kaye and Alex have cut no corners on furnishing and equipping the warm and cosy space. A king size bed and crispy clean bed linen, huge fluffy bath towels and reclining chairs in the sitting room, they have thought of everything. A pub with excellent food is just a few minutes away. The cottage is tucked into a quiet and sheltered corner with a private terrace and parking close to the door. Just a few steps away the carefully fenced dog field has wonderful views to Robin Hoods Bay and Whitby Abbey. Take your walking boots and set out from the door or take a book and enjoy the peace and quiet of the cottage. We did both and we will be back I'm sure. Thank you.

Lovely little cottage very cosy and warm Short drive away from amenities Nice little escape from media as no signal

We had a fantastic holiday at the Goat Shed.

The property was very clean, lovely stone flooring, warm and cosy. A great base for exploring the coast line. Took our dog along this time and there is a small enclosed field for them to have a run about. Had a lovely meal in the Fylingdales Inn.

We loved our stay at the goat shed.

It was charming perfect for a couple had everything you needed very clean and comfortable. It was very quiet and peaceful but within easy reach of the lovely villages and towns would highly recommend the place. We shall be returning next year.

this cottage is lovely we have been twice and will go back.

it's a bit out of the way but that suits us. Every thing you could need is there they have thought of every thing . .A lovely cottage all round .

Don't be put off by the outside appearance of The Goat Shed, the inside is lovely and cosy.

A very live-able fully equipped "Flat" for two, enjoying peace and quiet in the middle of the country - within easy distance of the sea and quiet or entertainment orientated resorts.

Likewise near many brilliant coastal walks, including the Cleveland Way, the "Cinder Track", and within North York Moors National Park. And of course North York Moors Railway. Expecting something quite small found the "Goat Shed" to be very spacious, warm (even in the bleak midwinter), and quite charming!

Absolutely lovely property, spotlessly clean , lovely owners and close to two main resorts .

I would not hesitate to recommend the Goat Shed

Lovely cottage in stunning location.

Well equipped, clean, quiet and cosy. Great for nearby walks, bike rides and trips to the coast. The old railway cinder track was an excellent cycle route, away from traffic and flat for easy cycling. Would highly recommend.

Everything was very good

No everyone perfect.

The Goat shed was wonderful!

We had a great, relaxing break with lots of adventurous days and cosy nights. A truly wonderful experience would definitely recommend.

All we needed nice and clean .

comfortable bed. We will be back

Brilliant holiday and location nothing around you very peacefull great for walking.

.Every thing you could possibly need was thought of in cottage it was beautiful inside we will definitely be going back .

Wonderful accommodation,warm and cosy, great location for walkers,would definitely go back.
