“We had such a lovely stay, such luxury and high quality to the cottage.”

Absolutely every was top notch, all we had to do was take our clothes and food, everything else was taken care of, snacks, tea and coffee, cookies, wine etc. bedding was brilliant, slept like a baby, honestly, better than at home. The idea of the parking disc is amazing and we definitely used it. The paddock is great for taking the dog to, she (Poppy) our dog could run freely. Great views, great location and what more can we say. We’re hoping to go again soon. Dan is a very lovely warm hearted ...

Hi guys! You made it home safely (hopefully in plenty of time for the parents meeting). So, so happy to hear that you both enjoyed your stay here in the wind and rain lashed North. It was a pleasure meeting you and I really do hope you consider visiting again. By the sounds of it you went to quite a few places while you were here but I’m sure that there’s a few more little hidden gems and secret spots I could recommend. North Yorkshire is a beautiful, beautiful place in the summer and there’s so much to do and see. Anyhow. Thank you so much for your kind comments and being so nice. Take good care of yourselves and all the best from Dan and the family. Property Owner
Tracy March 2024

“Just returned from a lovely stay at Upstairs Downstairs Cottage.”

Everything was pretty perfect, very clean cosy warm and welcoming. Ideally situated for the moors and the coast. Great to have the paddock for our little dog. A lot of thought has gone into this beautiful cottage which makes for a comfortable stay. Thank you Dan we loved it and we will definitely be back.

- Tracy, March 2024

Hi Tracy. Just a say noticed your great review of Snainton and the surrounding area. It’s always so nice to hear people have enjoyed their break away here and makes me feel so grateful to have such nice people come to stay and filled with pride that the work it takes to manage and run the holiday cottages is appreciated. Thank you for being such great guests. You’re welcome to come back anytime. From Dan and the 3 troublemakers Property Owner
Allison February 2024

“This is certainly one of the best properties we have stayed in.”

A quiet location but ideal for getting out and about. It was impeccably clean and of a high standard both inside and outside. The owner was available and very helpful but as we had everything we needed, there was no need to contact him.

- Allison, February 2024

Hi Allison, so sorry I didn’t actually get to meet you all. Had a crazy old weekend and not a moment to spare. I’m really glad you all enjoyed your stay and I wanted to thank you for stripping the beds leaving the towels in the bath etc. I really appreciate that little bit of help from guests because it just makes it a little easier when I’m cleaning them ready for the next guests. Hopefully you might come again sometime and I might actually get to meet you. All the best and thank you again. Dan Property Owner
Dylan January 2024

“Perfect. The best accommodation we have stayed in with our baby!”

Dan was a great host and and the cottage is amazing!

- Dylan, January 2024

Hi guys. Just to say a massive thank you from me for leaving such a great review. I’m always happy to hear that guests have had a lovely stay. It really was a pleasure to meet you all. You were a lovely family. I also want to say a massive thank you for leaving the cottage so clean and tidy too. (Made my Friday cleaning much easier and helped me finish a bit earlier so I could get home to my family before 6pm which made a nice change). Take care and all the very best from Dan and the 3 mogz Property Owner
Jason-lee December 2023

“Had a lovely time staying in this beautiful cottage for the week, thank you for hosting us.”

The little details like the chocolate on the kid's bed were kind, and they loved it! (even though they didn't sleep). Would love to revisit one day. Jas

- Jason-lee, December 2023

Cheers Jas. Glad you all enjoyed your stay. It was a pleasure to meet you all. Hope you have a great Christmas together and that the new year is happy and fruitful for you. D Property Owner
Kate October 2023

“A really lovely cottage.”

Dan is a thoughtful host and we fet at home from the moment we arrived. A great base from which to see the area. We are already planning our next visit. Thank you for a wonderful week.

- Kate, October 2023

It was lovely to have you come to stay in Snainton. Just sorry that I didn’t see much more of you (due to me and my wretched back). I really do hope that you come back for another visit next year during the summer when the sun is shining. Hopefully the young man might have shot up a few inches and he might be big enough for a ride around on the bike. He might even enjoy a trip to watch the motorbike racing at Oliver’s Mount which happens 4 times a year? That’s a good full day’s entertainment for a fairly reasonable price. Hope you all made it home safely. It was really good to meet you all. Take care and hopefully I’ll see you again (and perhaps the grandparents too) next year. All the best from Dan, Charlie, Bob and Dave. Property Owner
Kerry October 2023

“Upstairs downstairs cottage is a fantastic place to stay, both for access to the coast and the country.”

It was clean, cosy and warm. We would definitely stay there again.

- Kerry, October 2023

It was a pleasure having you all to stay and I’m so glad you liked it here in Snainton too. Hope you got home safely and that the rain has stopped in Sheffield. I must say a really huge thank you to you all for leaving the cottage so clean too. It is so, so very much appreciated when guests look after the place. You’re welcome back anytime. Take good care of yourselves and all the best from Dan, Charlie, Bob and Dave Property Owner

Close to all surrounding of Yorkshire and a short drive to Scarborough. Overall a cosy, chilled environment which I would gladly want to stay again when I do come back.

- Aaron, October 2023
Chris September 2023

“This cottage is one of the best we have stayed in ( for comfort and features).”

When we arrived there were welcoming features (milk, tea, fruit, biscuits and more. This effort from the owner (Daniel) and family made our holiday, he was very accommodating, friendly. We would certainly recommend a second visit even a third.

- Chris, September 2023

It was a pleasure to meet you Chris and Judy too. I really enjoyed meeting you both and I’m very glad that you both enjoyed your stay here in Snainton. You are both welcome back anytime you want.

Trevor June 2023

“Great Holiday, Great Cottage, Great Host, Great Village and Residents.”

The cottage was up there with the best, Every thing you need for a supper holiday. The little extras on arrival were vary much appreciated, ( and Dan the Bottle of red was great the girls only drink white guess who had the whole bottle) Amenities were spot on, good off road parking, out door laundry facility’s and a large paddock for Louie to chase his ball. Dan the owner, top man very pleasant, helpful and nothing was to much trouble. His knowledge of the area and where to eat was so helpful, Thanks Dan. I must mention the village of Snainton, great chippy less than a minute away from the cottage. The pheasant public house 300yrds approx up the road was 1st class reasonable and made us feel like locals, that included Louie, with his treat and bowl of water, and finally we found the village a very friendly place. Once again Dan thanks for making our holiday GREAT. Trev.Liz,Linda and Louie the Cockerpoo.

- Trevor, June 2023

“Great property and lovely welcome touches after a long journey.”

Would definitely stay here again. Bed was amazing.

- Jackie, June 2023

Hi again Jackie. Thank you for your kind comments and for coming to stay here in sunny Snainton. Glad you liked the bed.

Nope…I don’t receive a commission!!! Hopefully might see you again sometime? All the best and thanks again. Dan Property Owner
Alison May 2023

“A beautiful cottage.”

We chose it for its location and to experience upstairs downstairs living. Everything we could have needed was there to help us enjoy our stay. It felt homely and welcoming. The paddock was a great bonus to let the dog run free and get a shock when he discovered horses over the wall. Dan the owner was on hand, really friendly and welcoming with so much local knowledge. I would highly recommend a stay here and hope to go back again soon.

- Alison, May 2023

It was really great to meet you both and a pleasure having you stay. I’m really glad you enjoyed your stay and you’re welcome back anytime. Thank you so much for your kind words and compliments. It really does mean so much. All the best to you. From Dan and the 3 furrys Property Owner

- Natalie, May 2023

Hiyer guys. It was a treat to have you stay. I’m really glad that you all enjoyed it. It’s the best part of running holiday cottages…I get to meet amazing people like you. It really was a pleasure to meet yourself Natalie, Dave and your beautiful little lass (she cheered up my day with her cheeky little smile and rosey cheeks). Big hello to your mum and dad too. I have to also say thank you. I couldn’t believe how clean you left the cottage especially with having a toddler (you’d expect at least one or two sticky marks but nope! Nowt. It was immaculate. You are welcome back anytime. Dave if you do and your legs a bit better bring your crosser gear and we’ll head over to the track so you can have a ride. Bikes rule! Take care guys and thanks again.

“We had a lovely stay at the upstairs downstairs cottage.”

The cottage is in a village with a pub in walking distance and a great chippie next door. Easy driving access to Whitby and Scarborough. The cottage was spotlessly clean and the owner Dan is a great guy and couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful.

- Sarah, July 2021

Hi Sarah. I’m utterly ashamed that I’ve only just got around to thanking you profusely for all the great things you fed back.

Perhaps you might come for another stay one day. Take care and all the best. Dan Property Owner

Rosemarie September 2020

“We enjoyed this immensely.”

Very comfy and spotless. The owner was very friendly and knowledgeable gave good advice and information which was really helpful. We were close to Scarborough Filey and Pickering. And pubs short distance away. Fish and chips thirty yards away and delicious and a little shop selling most things. Outside was a manicured hedge and big garden well cultured. The cottage was just behind main road so advice of keeping dogs on leads is a definite. Would be happy to recommend to anyone to this cottage.

- Rosemarie, September 2020

Hiyer Rosemary. Hope you didn’t expect a quick response to your lovely comments. I’m a busy man dinchya now Property Owner
Jodie September 2020

“Absolutely loved it!”

We stayed on a short weekend mtb break and the cottage was more than what we expected, we kept our bikes safe and sound in the washroom outhouse, Dan the owner was so welcoming and was keen to tell us the best places to go for what we wanted (Thankyou so much Dan for a great stay!) we felt right at home in the cottage! Gorgeous modern decor with a cottage vibe, it had everything we needed for self catering! Fish shop just on the main road not even 1 minute walk and a supermarket 7miles away! We will definitely be back for another stay so we can discover more of Dalby forest

- Jodie, September 2020
Christine September 2020

“This cottage is lovely in a really good location and has everything you could possibly need.”

We have previously stayed in the one bedroom cottage next door and both of them have been finished to a very high standard. Dan is a lovely man and congratulations to him for providing the best dog friendly accommodation we have ever stayed in. The Christmas decorations wine and chocolates were a lovely touch. We would have no hesitation in recommending either of these cottages.

Jeff November 2019

“AN EXCEPTIONAL COTTAGE WARM, INVITING, CLEAN AND IN A GREAT LOCATION .”

PITY THE WEATHER WAS NOT AS GOOD

- Jeff, November 2019
Michael September 2019

“Cottage position, layout and secure large paddock for use with our dog was great.”

Comfy bed, great bathroom and spotlessly clean throughout. Great open plan living area. Minor moans, the cooker hood and workspace positions. The cottage is upside down living space includes quite a bit of the roof slope. Add in a cooker hood canopy with glass hood perfectly at eye level, whilst cooking or preparing food I constantly banged my head or my eye! Then saucepans struggled to cook 2 veg and potatoes on a Sunday lunch. Final little moan , no cleaning materials, like hob cleaner for the glass electric hob, shower or bath cleaner, these would have helped and did not feel inclined to go,and buy them! Overall though we would return just with a crash hat for when preparing food and cooking!

- Michael, September 2019

Angela July 2018

“This cottage was a real find.”

I cannot believe how clean it is! It's just great, so comfortable Dan has thought of everything. We loved it, the location was excellent, within striking distance of most everything - coast, forest, scenic drives, views, really good fish & chips (next door), local Shop (all of two minutes walk) which was excellent e.g. my favourite wine at £3 less than a supermarket I use at home. On our first day they actually put some out the back for me. And such friendly people both there and in the village. Bus stop about 1 minute away either direction and if you are lucky you will pick up en-route some fresh produce, raspberries, green beans and blackcurrants being sold outside a house but be quick, they go fast! The cottage backs onto paddocks and we were very lucky to attend the Stables open event on Sunday, great fun, and we enjoyed seeing the foal each morning. Lovely garden facility and again Dan has thoughtfully provided rustic tables and chairs for guests. Neither of us are particularly cat lovers but the two resident cats had me eating out of their paws, hello Spikey and Norman. And as for Dan, well he's one of life's characters! Thanks Dan - your cottage is lovely!

- Angela, July 2018
Mel May 2018

“Gorgeous area.”

Not an ideal cottage for families with small children as stairs are quite steep and open to falls. Good for older ones but very low walls / extracted fan on oven - hit my head countless number of times. Gorgeous garden to rear of property though you need to keep checking for dog poo - had a few accidents in children’s footwear. Also falling piece of wood from Window which narrowly missed my daughters head. Apart from these few issues it was nice and comfy.

- Mel, May 2018
Susan May 2018

“This is a brilliant property in a brilliant location and perfect for families relaxing.”

Dan the owner is very polite and always on hand for any support or advice. This is our second visit to this property and we just love it. Great location to escape and enjoy a relaxing break. Fish and chip shop next door is outstanding and we visited the local golf centre which also provided foot golf which the kids just loved. We also visited Alphamere Swimming Pool in Scarborough, wow what an experience. The outdoor pool was just like having a hot bath!! Fantastic. We will certainly be visiting again. Thank You Sykes.
