• "An excellent, peaceful and well maintained property with outstanding views across the countryside."

  The property overlooks Robin Hoods Bay and is next to the Cinder Track (Old Scarborough to Whitby Railway Line) with great walks in either direction. The property has a well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed and a great space to relax and enjoy a holiday. The owners were available on site to answer any questions and provided an Information Booklet prior to our visit so we were fully aware of the facilities available and walks in the area. This was without doubt one of the best cottage that we have ever stayed in and is highly recommended.

• "Absolutely fantastic location, very rural, peaceful and quiet."

  We loved the amount of walks you could do straight from your doorstep without needing the car - extremely close to the cinder track and cleveland way, with incredible coastal views! The house was cosy and comfortable, and very nicely furnished. It has lovely bi-fold doors and a cosy fire, and our dog was a particular fan of the cosy underfloor heating! We struggled a bit to use the oven, and would have loved the garden to be enclosed as this was complicated to navigate with our dog. Other than that, we had a fantastic holiday and feel very refreshed!

• "Sykes are aware of our dispute with Cottage Anton."

  We left on Thursday because the host was unable to address our problems. We were offered a refund if we left early but so far we have only received a partial refund. During our state, we had no hot water which made it very uncomfortable when we showered. In addition, the towel rail in the bathroom was not working. The bedding was awful with the pillows being thin and very lumpy meaning that my wife ended up with numb ears. The duvet wasn’t big enough for the bed. The underfloor heating was lovely and the property itself is absolutely beautiful. The problem was the plumbing. I believe the host did try to engage your plumber but was unsuccessful. It’s horrible when you’re in a property surrounded by snow and you cannot have a lovely hot shower and then dry with lovely warm towels. Sykes are aware of our dispute and we expect them to get the matter resolved.

• "This is a beautiful small cottage situated in a glorious setting with partial views out to sea across to Robin Hoods Bay from the kitchen and lovely moorland views from the main living area."

  The cottage is well fitted out and provides opportunity for eating in if you don’t want to drive. There are wonderful walks from your door step and opportunities for exploring this beautiful area of North Yorkshire. The owners are very responsive to issues as and when they occur and communication was easy. It is worth noting that the cottage is isolated and the long drive from the main road is single lane with the last 900 metres being an extremely narrow bridle way with very few opportunities for passing. In wet weather the side verges are extremely soft making pulling off the road not an good option. Unless you are confident in rural reversing on a restricted road then this cottage may give you a problem especially in the busier summer months when there will be more visitors. If it wasn’t for the access to the property I would rec this without hesitation to anyone who loves the idea of rural isolation in comfort.

  The cottage is small but packed with everything you need. It's beautifully kept and clean. Our dog loved it too and he was welcomed by the owners. Anton Cottage is perfectly placed for walking on the coast and the moors. We enjoyed our walks on the coastal paths and also vising Whitby , Staithes , Runswick Bay and Robins Hoods Bay by car. We would definitely book again.

• "We spent two weeks in this beautiful cottage whilst exploring the coast and the North Yorkshire Moors."

  The cottage is far more spacious than we expected and was well equipped. It's location is very rural but has good Wifi. We were unable to get a phone signal (BT) in the cottage but were able to make calls further up the road. A bit inconvenient but this wouldn't stop us from staying again. Our dog was genuinely made to feel welcome and thoroughly enjoyed himself. His staff had fun too.

  Beautiful cottage with everything you could wish for. Very cosy & perfect for your dog too - lots of doggy extras for your 4-legged friend. Brilliant for walks to Ravenscar, Robin Hood Bay and further afield to Whitby. Plenty of pubs to choose from locally or the kitchen has everything you need if you’re staying in. We would definitely return & have already recommended the cottage to friends & family.

• "Had an absolutely fabulous 2 week break at the beautiful Cottage Anton."

  Stunning location surrounded with beautiful views/walks. The Cottage is tastefully decorated, spacious, well equipped and very cosy - especially with the log burner on! The road leading to it, is narrow/steep and not for the faint hearted, however, the directions are very accurate and well worth the steady drive down to find this hidden gem! Just perfect for us and our little dog (who settled very well) we had a lovely relaxing break (just what we needed to start the new year) and would definitely highly recommend. 5* Owners/Housekeeper very nice & accommodating!

• "Owners most welcoming and informative."

  Stunning location, rural and peaceful. Great for walking and cycling. At peace with the world. Storage for bicycles and plenty of space around the cottage. Cottage was well equipped and a high standard. Perhaps starting to age with little things like the shower door leaking. Highly recommend Ravenscar tea rooms, short drive or 2 mile walk away. Considering in all the literature mentions COVID deep cleaning, the cottage didn’t feel or visibly see the benefits of a deep clean. Rugs were grumpy and sofa was in need of a clean. Noting early departure of 9 am and removing bed linen and towels all before 9 am wasn’t relaxing.

  Owners extremely helpful and informative. Yes it is down a lengthy little lane, but well worth it when you get there.

  It was particularly cold on our arrival, so being met with wonderfully warm underfloor heating throughout the ground floor was a bonus for sure, as well as the beautiful red roses in the kitchen! We enjoyed the quiet location which was ideal for us and our collie dog. Walks from the door along the cinder track or along the lane leading upwards onto the moor. Stunning views all around. With plenty to do and see locally, as well as many good food pubs just a few minutes drive away, we will be returning soon!

  A truly beautiful cottage in a wonderful location. We would highly recommend Cottage Anton for anyone looking for a romantic break away.

  When we arrived we were overwhelmed with the cottage. The location was stunning. The cottage itself was immaculate and had everything in it that you could possibly need plus more. The set up of the cottage is lovely and very relaxing and everything was pure quality. The location was great, just on the Cinder Track so we could walk for miles with the dog, which we did (a big first for me). I cannot recommend this cottage enough and we will definitely be going back as soon as we can.

  The location was perfect for us, with walks from the door (15 mins to the beach and lots of cifftop options too) meaning that we really didn’t need our car once we’d arrived. It’s remoteness means that you do have to be organised with provisions (or have a bit of a drive), but the peaceful environment made that very worthwhile. Friendly owners were on hand as required and provided useful tips on walks etc. Very successful conversion - perfect for two plus our dog, but surprisingly spacious with a very sunny garden. Highly recommended.

  The cottage is really warm with log burning stove and underfloor heating. All the facilities you could want including fast internet and smart TV (for those rainy days). So many walks directly from the cottage that we only drove out twice in the week we were there. I would suggest anyone coming to bring some groceries as getting to the nearest supermarket takes some time. Perfect place to disconnect, I would recommend and hope to go back sometime soon.

  My wife and I stayed here over Christmas 2018 and we were delighted with the accommodation. Set in idyllic surroundings and with magnificent views over Robin Hoods Bay.

Top marks to the owners who came out promptly and sorted the underfloor heating in the bathroom.

  The cottage it’s self is lovely but because it’s so far down a steep hill trying to get communication from the owner is shocking, one txt received from her asking if my email was right she said she would phone - no calls or emails from her I tried calling her but straight to messenger!
