"A really warm and comfortable stay, all the rooms were well equipped and provided enough room for 6 of us to hang out."
It was also a perfect base to explore the bay, Whitby and beyond. The dishwasher and washing machine were well used and appreciated and preparing meals was easy making dining together a real treat.
I recommend for any age or length of stay

"Had a wonderful time at Sterling's house."
we would definitely go back ,beds very comfortable plenty of space for use all with being a group of 8.Great location to travel around or just stay and walk down in to Robin Hood's Bay with the shops, restaurants and go on the beach , parking was better than I thought which we was able to park on the street but there was a car park very close too if not which I was told you can buy a day ticket and you can use it up and down the coast if you like travelling which we do,

"Superb residence!"
High standard of provision of everything needed for washing cooking cleaning and real comfort! Only minor issue was variable tv aerial reception. The bedrooms and bathrooms were great and the kitchen and dining area spacious and a place you could just be in . In all honesty the living room was underused . So close to the beautiful village and the walking is spectacular.

"It’s a brilliant house and ticks all the boxes."
The very small entrance hall is very tight - especially when there are thre or four people trying to get their boots off! That’s a very minor point thought. The kitchen is well stocked and easy to navigate round and the heating works a treat when there is a chill in the air.
This was our second stay there and we will definitely consider it again for next year.

"We had such a lovely stay at Sterling House!"
The house is full of tasteful character and has everything you could need for a stay away from home. We were two families with young children and there was plenty of space. The owner accepted our very last minute booking and even gave us early checkin/late departure because we were only there two nights (all much appreciated!).
The location is great - we went down to town and back several times and the kids really enjoyed digging and searching for fossils on the beach, plus fish and chips and ice cream in the village. The hill is a nice workout ;)
Thanks for a great holiday!

"A great place to stay."
We usually stay in Bay Town but this is more accessible. Well kept and presented. Everything we needed for a good stay was there. At half term and school holidays RHB is very busy and parking can be a bit of a nightmare - but that doesn’t detract from RHB as being a perfect family holiday. Sterling House ticks all the boxes

"Lovely flat in a great location at the top of the village."
Round the corner from a pub and shop and a stroll downhill to the village itself.
The flat was very clean and had great space for our family. Would heartily recommend.
RHB itself is a gem of a place, filled with mystery and history. It really captured our imaginations - will definitely return to both the village and Sterling House.

"Worked perfectly for us."
Generous living space and the first floor bedroom with bathroom on this level was perfect for my elderly parents.
Everything needed was in place at Sterling House. Lovely little garden protected from the wind supplied a small sun trap. On street parking was not an issue but maybe in school holidays?
Hopefully will be back soon.

"A brilliant property, we stayed as two young families and there was plenty of space."
House really well equipped, great kitchen area.
This is a second and third floor property so the only frustration was cooking/drinking outside was a bit of a mission with plenty of trips up and down the stairs but the garden area itself is lovely with a lot more space than expected.
We travelled with four children all under 10 and they are already asking when we can go back to their holiday house.
Thanks for the perfect stay, just need the sunshine next time!

"A wonderful house in a good location."
We were impressed by how well equipped, spacious, quiet and clean it was. And also that the owner rang us to check we had all the relevant information, as we booked just a couple of days before our stay. It was great being so close to the sea, good walks as well as being just a few minutes from a pub and shop, which had all that we needed for our 5 day stay. I’d like to add that we were keen to book with Sykes Cottages as they volunteered and arranged a full refund for a place we booked which had to be cancelled due to lockdown.

"Sterling House is an excellent base for exploring the N."
Yorks coast. House is very well equipped (but bring own hairdryer). A bit of a squeeze for 8 adults sleeping, due to low sloping ceilings on top floor (particularly tight for far side of top floor double bed), but lower floor rooms good. We had no noise issues with ground floor or adjoining flats. Parking above average for RHB - often close to the property, or could always park just round the corner (about 200 yds), then nearer to property early evening or breakfast time. Very good communications with the owner. Overall, very well recomended.

"We had a great stay at Sterling House."
It's just the right size for 2 families of four, comfortable and well equipped. Communications with the owner good. Robin Hoods Bay itself is a great place for a holiday - it's a beautiful little village to explore, the beach is a 10 minute walk, there are plenty of places to eat and drink, and it never felt too crowded even in August. Recommend pizza at the Cove, beers at the Smugglers, the lovely view from the Victoria beer garden and oysters and prosecco at the Bramblewick. We managed to get free on street parking outside the house fairly often in the late afternoon. Only small gripe is that the tv stations available were very limited and certainly not sky as advertised, although we weren't too bothered by this.

"The house is lovely, well equipped and well located."
We have stayed before. Just one niggle this time, the owner texted on our way up to say one of the showers wasn’t working and he was waiting for a plumber and would advise us when it was to be fixed. We heard nothing, and it was an inconvenience for a party of seven. I just wonder how long it has been out of action? A shame that a small but impactful detail was not attended to.

Clean, well equipped and lots of space - very helpful for our group which included 5 adults and a four year old and 11 month old! Lots of stairs and sloped ceilings in the upper floors. Nice spot in Robin Hoods Bay. A lovely little garden too which we enjoyed having lunch in.
A mattress would have been useful for the travel cot!

"Sterling House is a stunning holiday apartment."
Overall the property is very light and airy and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was particularly well equipped which made for a very comfortable stay. We loved having a nice garden for BBQ's and eating our breakfast outside. Also, having the shops, beach and park all a short walk away really made the holiday for us.The older kids got to visit the village shops and park and explore by themselves which they loved. We dined in the Grosvenor Hotel which was very tasty and the portions were huge. We loved the Ghost Walk and would highly recommend this to any future guests. Our only disappointment was our day trips to Whitby where we encountered problems finding public toilets for our kids and Scarborough which seemed a little run down, with the shows and shops closed early. It's doesn't seem like the Scottish school holidays are catered for in these resorts. However, Robin Hoods Bay more than satisfied as a holiday destination and we would love to visit again.
