The Goat Shed

86 Customer Reviews

• "Lovely cozy cottage and well equipped, except no handsoap and only around 12 sheets of loo roll (and no spare) which meant we had to head out again to the supermarket."

  Bathroom handsoap and loo roll are essentials in my opinion and this is the first holiday-home we've come across where there hasn't been any tor enough to last 12-24 hours. No salt for cooking (also a steriliser) or pepper - another first for us, so we live and learn. If booking ensure you bring with you. Only one bin in the kitchen - no bathroom bin. Dropped one star as it's all comparative. However the cottage was in a great location and we explored the surrounding area and had a great time.

• "All we wanted was pleasant change of scenery and good rest, with a comfortable clean bed each night."

  It ticked all that. The goat shed is a warm and cosy, well equipped attractive accommodation. Everything as stated in the description and situated in an excellent position. Not far from Robins Hood Bay and Whitby and the Abbey a little further into Scarborough. All pleasant places to visit with an abundance of fish and chip shops , and every other type of restaurant shops and harbours. Plenty to do if wanted and lots of walking if that’s your preference in Beautiful settings We enjoyed a brief chat with the pleasant owner on our arrival..

  Cozy, warm and had everything we needed for a great break. The cold weather and snow made it a unique stay, and the ability to walk out of the cottage right down into snowy Robin Hods Bay was excellent. It's also a great place for the dog, enclosed courtyard, separate dog playing field at the property. Overall we had a fantastic holiday and would recommend the Goat Shed.

• "The Goat Shed is lovely."

  Comfortable, clean, welcoming. The pictures on the website could do with updating though as the kitchen shows there is a washing machine. The washing machine has been taken away and replaced with storage drawers. When booking holidays I always prefer to stay somewhere you can do your washing as that determines how much I need to pack. That is the only thing that let it down for me. I would stay again regardless of that.

  Plenty of lovely walks on the door step. Loved the private sitting area, great when you have a dog with you, being able to relax and not worry about the dog. The only niggle was the fridge was on the small side, struggled to fit all our food in. The only thing that marred our stay was the diesel situation, didn't travel as far as we would have liked in case we could not fill up for return journey home. Would highly recommend.

  We loved the tranquil location of this cottage, a good walk into Robin Hoods Bay so would not be for everyone, but as we love walking this was not a problem for us. The owner was waiting for our arrival and showed us around this lovely and cosy cottage, it had everything we needed. After days out walking it was good to return to the warmth of this cottage. It is not far from Whitby and Scarborough, Aldi and Lidl were only about 5 to 10 minutes by car to stock up on any provisions. We would recommend the Goat Shed to anyone who prefers to stay in a quiet location.

  A home from home. We had a lovely stay there with our little border terrier Ralph. The Goat Shed was warn, cosy, really well equipped and the lighting amazing. It's a bit off the beaten track, but theres a pub at the bottom of the hill along with a nice little shop that's stocks everything you could need. We had a couple of lovely meals at the pub and chose to get a taxi back to The Goat Shed, worth £6 of anybody's money!!! We hope to visit again and recommend this romantic getaway.

  We had four days of exploring Robin Hoods Bay, where a bacon sandwich and pot of tea are a must at Tea, Toast and Post, after a coastal trek. We also covered some of the Cleveland Way and Cinder Track through Scarbourough and Whitby with a stop at the Abbey. Ravenscar WW2 look out and signal tower was atmospheric and informative. We ate at the Fylingdale Inn and would recommend this too.

  Kaye and Alex have cut no corners on furnishing and equipping the warm and cosy space. A king size bed and crispy clean bed linen, huge fluffy bath towels and reclining chairs in the sitting room, they have thought of everything. A pub with excellent food is just a few minutes away. The cottage is tucked into a quiet and sheltered corner with a private terrace and parking close to the door. Just a few steps away the carefully fenced dog field has wonderful views to Robin Hoods Bay and Whitby Abbey. Take your walking boots and set out from the door or take a book and enjoy the peace and quiet of the cottage. We did both and we will be back I'm sure. Thank you.
