  • "Enjpoyed our stay but their was a few issues with the cottage."

    The tap in the kitchen sink had a nasty drip which was no problem to us but it would help to ramp up the water bill. The cooker appeared to be quite greasy. Had to remove some leafuelves and sludge from the drains outside because it was flooding slightly. More than an adiquate supply of fuel and found the cottage warm and cosy with a perfect aspect..THANKYOU

  • "I had the impression that it is damp inside the house (downstairs only)."

    The firewood was not provided. Parking was a bit tricky, especially on busy weekends no space near without having to pay. Very near to the beach although dogs are not allowed until a bit further.

  • "Lovely cottage."

    Perfect for our family of 4 and the dog. Very clean and tidy, less than 2 min walk to the beach. The kids loved the nautical theme and the little touches including toy basket, games, kids books. Loved sitting in the sun on the patio and next to the log burner in the evening. Would also recommend the pub next door. Wish we could have stayed longer!

  • "We have stayed there twice before And received a welcome pack but not this time?"

    We noticed that heating was turned down and on for only a short period? The bathroom towel rail wasn’t working, but overall we enjoyed our stay and would book again,

  • "We loved our stay and the cottage was well situated and equipped."

    We did however find the cottage cold as there didn’t seem to be downstairs heating apart from making up the log burner.

    Hi there Sally, We are pleased you loved your stay at Stonewall Cottage. There is a radiator in the lounge which is on a timer throughout the day and also has a boost function. I will ensure the “guest book” has the instructions highlighted. Thank you for your feedback. Property Owner

  • "The cottage is in a good position relative to the beach and the few shops and the pub."

    It’s warm and comfortable with a plentiful supply of logs for the stove. The cottage is small , more suitable for one or two people. Wi-Fi and mobile reception were excellent throughout the week I stayed. The kitchen is very small but has most things you would need. However there is no freezer or freezer compartment/ice box, just a fridge. There’s also no microwave. There’s a lovely shower room (no bath) with underfloor heating. Note that if you’re looking for the washing machine it’s in the shower room under the sink in the cupboard. As noted with other reviews parking is a challenge. There is no parking at the cottage itself. The cottage could benefit from curtains or blinds at the lounge window to offer some privacy as it is easy to see in from the outside. I slept well despite the the two storms that hit the are. The main bedroom is nice and comfortable. There’s a second smaller bedroom with bunk beds. To the front of the cottage is a small enclosed garden, there’s a useful hosepipe for washing down dogs and boot cleaning. Overall I enjoyed my stay.

  • "The bed in the double room was very uncomfortable as you could feel the bed frame under the mattress."

    We also appreciate it is a tight space to put a double bed but it would’ve better without the frame at the end of the bed as you can’t stretch your legs without hurting your toes on the frame it would also be easier to get out of the bed by opening up the space at the bottom of the bed. The mirror in the bathroom was surrounded by cobwebs and spiders, the dining area could do with a lick of paint due to wear and tear and there needs to be a curtain in the lounge as the window faces the pub car park and you have to walk across the lounge to the downstairs bathroom in the night. The cottage is cute but much if the furniture is style over substance for practical use. Also four mugs for up to four guests? One mug had a huge crack in it, also no teapot.

  • "We enjoyed the location of the property."

    Parking can be a bit of a problem sometimes it was a little way from the property, we were lucky my husband was speaking to the lady next door and she kindly let us park on her drive as she wasnt using it but if you have mobility problems it might be a problem. It was quite tight to get to the property between two buildings as we have a larger vehicle. It would be useful to have a folder with how to use appliances and heating and useful local phone numbers for vets doctors , nearest hospital and places to eat also the door frames are quite low my husband caught his head twice smaller than i was expecting. Just across the road from the beach and cafe and also good pub next door which serves good food

  • "Lovely comfortable cottage in a perfect location for the beach."

    Nice welcome gift of cake and biscuits on arrival and everything we needed for our stay. Very clean and tidy and nicely decorated . Lovely having a log burner as the temperature dropped in the evenings. Property is ideal for families with older kids as there isn’t a bathtub, most younger children I know don’t like to shower but for older kids and adults there is a good wet room to wash off all that sand. Good Wi-Fi signal on ground floor but weaker signal upstairs which wasn’t a problem. Our dog loved having his own outdoor space which was a bonus for us and one of the reasons we booked this property. All in all we had a great stay and wouldn’t hesitate going back to Stonewall.

About the location

SANDSEND

Whitby 2.5 miles.

Lying on Yorkshire's spectacular Heritage Coastline, Sandsend is the ideal place for a family holiday with its award winning, wide sweeping beaches, rock pools and dramatic cliffs. Indeed this part of the coastline is known locally as the Dinosaur Coast because of the many fossils found here. Children will enjoy damming the little beck where it crosses the beach to form a freshwater lagoon - great (and safe) for paddling and boating! For the more energetic the village sits on the lovely long distance Cleveland Way Trail, which offers great off-road cycling along the disused coastal railway as well as breathtaking clifftop walks. The National Trust now own the nearby headland, Sandsend Ness, where there is a delightful nature trail in the old quarry pits. A special place offering something for everyone!

This property offers the following short breaks:

  • Winter
  • Off-season
  • Last minute
