The Old Police House

9 Customer Reviews

• "Lovely well equipped accommodation which was spotlessly clean and well presented."

  It is very spacious and ideally located to explore the surrounding coast line. Our only concern was the car parking arrangements which involve negotiating a narrow lane to the car parking space. It is fine for small vehicles but proved to be problematic for our largish car. Aside from this it's a lovely place to stay

• "Excellent property, warm and comfortable with a well equipped kitchen and amazing shower!"

  Ideally located for local walks with the dog and for venturing out to beaches and the countryside, and other places of interest. Would highly recommend.

• "An immaculate and spacious house ideally situated for visiting the many bays and seaside towns."

  There is a friendly pub specialising in local seafood within walking distance and there is a regular bus service which means no parking problems at Whitby ! The parking is a bit tight but we managed 2 cars without a problem. All in all a lovely property well placed for enjoying the coast and moors.

• "The Police House was very comfortable with all the facilities you’d hope for on holiday."

  Great to have a bath and separate shower, which was massive. The kitchen was very well equipped and there was plenty of information regarding the property and local facilities. Loved the white bedding and towels, and hard floors downstairs are always preferable for dogs. The garden was comfortable and secure, only lacking a little grass for dog toileting. The parking was off-road and a little tricky to find at first. We found parking our large car in the space a bit tight but a smaller car would have no trouble. It was a great location for exploring the local area with Runswick Bay only a mile away.

• "Super large place, too big for 2 adults."

  However, still very reasonably priced even for two. Excellent cleanliness.

• "This is an excellent dog (and human) friendly property!"

  We found this at short notice and reduced price on the Sykes website - search filters narrowed down selection easily. With just two adults plus small dog the Old Police House had plenty of room inside and out. A large main bathroom with super shower and plenty of towel rail space, very clean and spacious. Living room area again generous and dining area with expanding table and space for six. Small conservatory area with doors to dog secure garden also a pleasant space to relax. Kitchen area nicely finished and plenty of crockery/cutlery, all white goods appeared very new and clean, dishwasher particularly welcome. Heating was very efficient, easy to control, plenty of hot water too! Upstairs in separate area off landing, washing machine and dryer also very new and clean. After reading the description and reviews for parking I was a little sceptical about how this would work out but needn’t have worried - plenty of space for two cars in what was a very quiet and safe area off the lane behind property. Good chippy and Butcher nearby on main road towards Staithes and a very well stocked CoOp mini store further on. Local beaches all good and dog friendly, Hinderwell is very well placed for trips out especially if you are English Heritage members! This property would definitely be on our list to return with extra family members if we can get in again!

• "A very clean, well equipped holiday let."

  Comfy beds, huge bathroom upstairs. Good location for getting to Runswick Bay, Saltburn and Sandsend/Whitby. The only thing missing is a view of the sea and it would be perfect. The parking at the rear is tight for two cars but the owner of the garage opposite allowed us to park on his premises. Excellent butchers and chippy, plus two pubs in the village all within walking distance. The conservatory and patio are sun traps, ideal for relaxing with a drink or two .. plus it is enclosed so the dog couldn’t escape. Would definitely return.

• "We loved staying at the Old Police House."

  It was beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, very comfortable and had everything you could possibly need. Superb kitchen and so well equipped. The owners provided really comprehensive information for the property and about the local area, and the welcome snacks were a lovely, friendly and welcoming touch. It is a great location for exploring the area and there are good walks nearby, which our dog really appreciated! We just think a small patch of grass in the garden would be a pleasant ambience and helpful for those bringing their dogs.

• "This was our second stay at the Old Police House, so that speaks for itself."

  Suits our family set up perfectly. Love Hinderwell and surrounding area. The house and garden feels like 'home' We couldn't work out how to switch on the power to the washer so did a hand wash instead no big deal.

  Hello Alison, thank you for your kind words about our property and location. We have sorted out the problem with the washing machine which is in working order again. We hope you will come again. Best wishes. Maureen Property Owner
