Brincliffe Cottage

A lovely little cottage towards the bottom of Robin Hood's bay.

Was a little chilly at times but radiators worked well (once I realized somebody before being had switched off the boiler and I switched it back in). Lounge and kitchen a good size and furniture very comfortable. Bedrooms a decent size but with some low ceilings in parts. The spiral staircase looks great but can be a little challenging getting cases up and down and would be difficult for anyone with reduced mobility. Good to have a bathroom downstairs and an ensuite (- toilet) and a separate toilet upstairs, though the ceiling is low in the upstairs toilet which makes it a little challenging. Worth mentioning, that Robin Hood's bay is on a 33% hill (1 in 3) so walking to the chip shop etc at the top of the hill can be a challenge. The cottage does provide a parking pass for Fisherhead car park which is basically a piece of rough ground nearer the bottom of the hill, which minimises waking up the hill to the 2 public car parks, but does mean driving up and down the steep hill. Overall highly recommended, Robin Hood's bay and the cottage are lovely.

I contacted Sykes to clarify if the cottage came with a parking permit.

At first they refused to answer the question until I had paid in full! Then when I protested that this was ridiculous they said that it did not come with a parking pass. I arrived in Robin Hoods Bay and paid for parking on the car park at the top of the hill. Imagine my surprise to find there was a parking pass!!! Luckily I had only paid for 1 days parking, if I had paid for the full week I would have lost £56. Terrible communication from Sykes.

Lovely restorative week as ever.

Cottage great and been several times now. Thoroughly recommend.

Lovely cottage.

Washing machine would be handy but we found laundromat in Whitby. Local shops are great. We weren’t prepared for the narrow street but it all worked out. Truely a lovely location.

Wonderful cottage!

Fabulous location for Robin Hoods Bay and surrounding beaches and bays. Close to Whitby. The cottage itself is surrounded by lots of character and charm. The cottage was beautiful and clean and has everything you need. We would stay again. Thank you for a lovely week.

Lovely cottage and been coming back for quite a few years now.

Perfectly located in lower bay and very spacious. Particularly love the ensuite bathroom with skylight and being woken by the seagulls! Only recommendation would be bedroom reading lamps are needed, as only a mains light switch and emergency torch lighting provided this year, unlike previous years. Ice box in freezer also desperately in need of defrosting as had trouble getting a few bits in due to ice build up. Would thoroughly recommend accommodation as great price, superb location and clean and very warm throughout. Many thanks!

Perfect location and cottage.

Cottage warm and cosy. It has everything you need for a week's stay. We had a lovely time.

A lovely cottage in a great location with a parking permit for a private car park nearby.

However we felt a couple of basic things were lacking - in the kitchen there was no washing up liquid, no potato peeler, no oven gloves and only one tea towel. We also didn’t realise that the cottage didn’t have a washing machine/ dryer which we feel is a necessity. A couple of side lamps in the main bedroom would be a good addition too and the downstairs shower needs to be plunged as it’s not draining very well. Despite this we had a great week, exploring the area, walking miles and even had a dip in the sea. We’ll definitely be back to visit Robin Hoods Bay again.

Lovely comfortable cottage.

Owners dealt with issues related to the television in the bedroom promptly. Will definitely recommend and return.

We enjoyed our 3 night stay at Brincliffe cottage.

The cottage was clean, nicely decorated and well equipped. It’s situated in the old part of the village, amongst a maze of quaint stone cottages sloping down to the sea front. It’s a bit of a climb back up to the car park, but manageable for most.

We had a fantastic stay in Robin hoods bay.

The cottage is located in a very ideal location. You get a parking pass for half way up the hill which is very helpful. It wasn’t hard to unload which I though could of been, however it wasn’t far off the road and the time we went was quiet. The cottage was very coast and I loved how spacious the lounge was. It was cosy, and comfortable to stay here. A few things that need some improvement. The kitchen facilities- there is quite a lack of kitchen utensils and dishes etc. no roasting tin or much of an option of cooking dishes. The cupboards were extremely messy. I do find this off putting. They need a good clean really and stacking neatly would be nice. There was a broker wine glass that was left in the cupboard also. A bit of a mix match of things, so I just thought this could definitely be improved on. We have stayed at many Sykes cottages, so it’s hard sometimes not to compare. I think it would be nice to have some shelves up so have more space to put things on. Also the cupboard in the corner could do to be shelved to put things in as it just seems a waste of space. The upstairs toilet sink was leaking our whole stay. Other than the few things listed, the cottage was lovely. We would stay here again yes as I said the location is perfect and it was cosy and spacious. Many thanks ☺️

Wanted a break by the seaside just to enjoy walking on the beach and surrounding countryside at this beautiful village.

This cottage was perfect, so much so we booked again for next year. Thank you to Dawn & Mike

We’ve had a lovely stay at Brincliffe Cottage.

Couldn’t be in a better spot to enjoy beautiful Robin Hood’s Bay and all it has to offer! The cottage was clean with everything you need and a really nice size for four adults. We would definitely visit again, thank you!

We regularly book with Sykes and usually more than pleased.

While the cottage was beautiful and close to the bay and amenities there were a few issues. I realise welcome pack not always provided however , 2 bathrooms without a hand wash or soap on arrival disappointing . The downstairs shower was also blocked and filled when used. We bought a plunger which cleared it a bit, but it does need attention . Would stress is lovely cottage , just these small issues which attended to would help.

Another fabulous week in this lovely cottage!

Thank you x

Great little cottage, stayed here a few times now, owners are excellent, Dawn especially

No washing up liquid, soap/handwash in downstairs toilet, or recycling bags provided, which we thought was a little remiss.

Other than that, cottage great and excellent location.

Love the cottage!

And the Bay! A great holiday

Lovely place to stay very nice cottage so close to very thing highly recommended

A lovely cosy cottage in a great location

Everything was lovely.

..would definitely book again

Absolutely wonderful cottage, in the right place and it had everything that you need for a delightful stay away from hone.

Well done the owners

pleasantly surprised with Brincliffe cottage.

It is in a great location in the old village, surrounded by other pretty cottages on a quiet lane. Was lovely to come back from a day walking and sightseeing and relax in the spacious sitting room and yet still be in the hub of the village. Everything is provided, with downstairs shower room, cloakroom and ensuite to main bedroom. Would definitely recommend a stay here and am looking at holidaying at Brincliffe cottage next year.

The cottage was cosy , warm and well equipped although I thought you may of had a hairdryer which I couldn't find .

Cottage is situated in a perfect place . Lovely walks and near the pub !!!

Lovely cottage but I think in the end found the iron stairs case abit tricky + main bedroom en-suite had no shower curtain or shower head hanger so had to use the one downstairs but all in all lovely place thanks

Loved this cottage, perfect location

Excellent.

Only slight snag was no shower curtain to use shower in bath

Another lovely holiday at this cottage.

Lovely little cottage with a deceptively large living area and kitchen.

Plenty of room for two adults and two kids. Just around the corner from the bay. Nice and cool inside during a heatwave as well.

Beautiful cottage in perfect placement for the beach and bay facilities.

Parking presents a problem, the private car park half way down the bay hill is situated conveniently but the hill bends only just accomodate a large 4x4 and any oncoming traffic can be problematical, I would suggest the top car parks for larger vehicles. The cottage itself is well laid out and has everything you would normally need with the exception of a freezer. My fault for not noticing but a bit of a problem as I had stocked up on frozen fishing bait prior to my arrival, so fishermen be warned. Would definitely recommend.

The cottage was really nice we had a really lovely time can't fault anything about it .

We will definitely be going back .the cottage was like home from home so well looked after .Robin hood's bay is just a lovely place to stay and you are not far from Whitby great holiday and thank you for looking after us.

The cottage has been maintained to a very high standard.

The Christmas decor was perfect. It is in a fab location.

Great Cottage, Great location, don't overlook this cottage if you are looking for a holiday at Robin Hoods Bay

We have been to the cottage for a holiday for the last two years and will be visiting it again.

The cottage is fantastic, its big enough to give everyone space for themselves, has all the modern facilities to make it comfortable and convenient and the location is amazing. My only problem is I find the mattresses too firm to get a comfortable nights sleep. However, other than that it is brilliant. Thank you Adrian

The location of the property was brilliant right near the beach and shops, especially ice cream shops.

The extra touch of WiFi in the cottage was fantastic especially for the grandchildren. A dishwasher would be an added bonus!.We all had a great family holiday in the lovely cosy cottage.

it was a lovely cottage.

we could not ask for anything better.

Lovely cottage better than appeared on photos, perfect location Would be nice to have a washing machine and parking info as part of the information when or once you've booked

Lovely cottage in a perfect location

Brincliffe Cottage was superb, excellent location and beautifully designed & equiped to ensure we had a magical stay.

We are looking forward to making plans to return.

Easy to book, lovely location and great cottage.
