• "Had a fantastic holiday even though the weather could have been better, nice and quiet but only a short drive into Saltburn, Staithes or even Whitby."

  The added bonus was the the restaurant/bar 50yds away. Everywhere we went was dog friendly so even our 2 labs had a good time and loved the beach. We were so impressed with this holiday we rebooked for next year whilst we were there

• "Lovely home from home, perfect situated, had a problem that was sorted out as quick as could be, friendly host."

  Lovely size front garden perfect for our puppy to run off some energy, the house had a washer and outside airer which fantastic as we had great weather so managed to get washing done as needed. Will definitely be going back and would recommend it.

• "Really enjoyed stay with great local beach ."

  The owners were helpful when contacted to find wi fi code and problems with Tv .The local restaurant kaskade was excellent.The front lawn hadn’t been cut which may have been due to the wet weather but will stop here again .

• "Really enjoyed our stay."

  A few minor details could have been sorted and one was very promptly but none really detracted from our stay. The settings on the boiler need sorting as it did not come on in the evenings until 10pm so it got quite chilly then the heating came on at 10pm and then another hour at 3am and then again another hour at 5am. got quite warm while we were supposed to be sleeping. We would go again though.

  Clean and spacious cottage that is nicely located for trips out and about. Comfortable and added benefit of restaurant on site with good meals at good prices. Would definitely return.

• "Great clean & tidy little cottage in a good location with easy access to the beach and other areas to visit."

  The local bar / restaurant which I believe is all under the same umbrella as the cottages offered a very reasonably priced selection of good homecooked food & drinks with a lovely welcoming team. Nice welcome to the cottage with milk & chocolates thanks

• "We didn't know what to expect from the photos online which could do with updating, but when we walked in we were pleasantly surprised."

  The cottage was spacious with everything that you need. Even milk and chocolates in the fridge....a lovely touch It's in a lovely little village, very close to a very reasonably priced restaurant. A few minutes walk brings you to a lovely beach which is fantastic for the dogs. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again

• "Lovely home from home."

  Very clean and comfy. Nice welcome with chocolates and milk. Ideal place to be able to go for walks and even drive to nearby places. Will definitely be booking again in the near future.

• "A comfortable and very clean cottage."

  We had everything we needed for our stay. Helped along by the milk and chocs (Thankyou). The heating comes on with no problems when you turn up the thermostat and the cottage warms up immediately. A pub/restaurant is within walking distance. Tasty food at a reasonable price. It would be helpful to have details of local walks but I suppose there's always walking apps for that. I would definitely recommend Drummer Cottage.

• "A clean and comfortable stay."

  Had to plan meals at home carefully as there are no oven trays or microwave bowls and the extractor fan was not working, but plenty of local pubs to eat, just had to drive out. Would recommend "Fox and Hounds" at Dalehouse and "Badger Hounds" at Hinderwell. We did not use the local "Kaskane" cafe/pub as on the Sunday they had a private function and as we passed we were told to F-Off we're closed - So gave that a miss.

• "Very spacious for a cottage."

  Clean comfortable and warm. Very quiet with a little front garden. The Kaskane bar restaurant on the end of the block did really nice meals. Best to book a table as it's popular. From the cottage we visited North Yorkshire Moors Railway, Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay, Saltburn and Guisborough. We would stay again in this dog friendly cottage

• "The cottage was clean and well provisioned although we couldn't find a hair drier The sofas were very comfortable."

  However the bunk bed mattress seemed very soft The kitchen was well provisioned but my partner who has arthritic hands could not turn off the taps We also had trouble with the front door lock but this was sorted promptly though we used the back door for the rest of our stay The television had lots of channels though the dvd player kept loosing sound. Perhaps it needs a cleaning disk Overall we had a good time and the cottage is well placed for visiting all the attractions in the area

• "When we arrived to us first impressions are very important."

  We were greeted with the sight of a well overgrown garden and a tree that was overhanging the walkway in to the property. When we entered the property the main living area was dark and cluttered and nothing like the photos we had seen on the website which we went off when we chose the property. The beds were very hard and lumpy and very uncomfortable to sleep on. Out of the living room window we had a great view of next doors washing which was overhanging our garden. Needless to say we will not be booking this property again. On return from our holiday we informed Sykes of our findings and they did not seem at all interested. This is the second time that we have used Sykes and the descriptions and photos of both the properties that we have used have been inaccurate.

• "We enjoyed our stay, the cottage was nice and clean, warm and cosy, but the double bed was too firm for us, a new mattress or mattress topper is needed."

  It is in an excellent position for visiting nearby Saltburn, Redcar, Guisborough and Whitby which are all within a reasonable drive. It is a short walk to the harbour with a surprisingly large sandy beach great for an evening stroll to sit and watch the sea. It is within a row of five other cottages with an attached restaurant/bar, which served good honest "pub grub" large portions at good prices. Very handy as there is no pub in the village. All in all a good stay.

  It was spotlessly clean throughout. Lovely deep bath, fully enclosed garden. Beach is only a 5 minute walk away. Kaskane cafe on the corner served excellent food with good portion sizes at very reasonable prices, staff are all lovely and welcoming. Great location to visit the coast, we recommend a trip to Saltburn-by-the-sea. Everything you need for the perfect break.

  Heaters were also quite noisy clicking on and off so had to turn them off to sleep. Other than this it had everything you needed for a lovely weekend away and the pub across the road served delicious food.

• "Lovely cottage and I would be happy to recommend."

  Only drawback is the top bunk bed in the second bedroom is only suitable for a smaller child rather than a taller young adult. Great location for walkers and the property is well fenced so your dogs cannot escape unless they like jumping fences. Very friendly people and can be on site in 5mins if needed. There is an affordable restaurant within 100m who will deliver to the cottage at no extra cost and food arrives hot foil wrapped on plates. Opens 10am and Closes 8.30pm so no unwanted noise. Access from the car pea gravelled at the front and also tarmac parking at the rear. We would definitely come again.

  We love it. Love the seafront and beach at skinningrove. Ordered meals from kaskane every evening and the staff were wonderful. They brought the meals to the cottage for us as we didnt want to take our dogs in restaurant, although it is dog friendly. The cottage has everything you might need. Lovely and clean and comfortable. Have booked it again for March.

• "Drummer Cottage was warm and comfortable, it was spacious and spotless."

  It was dog friendly with an enclosed front garden and garden furniture. The Cottage was very quiet at night . Behind the cottage is a closed mining museum with steep steps bringing you up onto the hill behind. From the front door a walk through a park and along the beck takes you down to a beach, the beach to the left is one of the most beautiful empty beaches i have come across. Kaskane bar and cafe on the complex sells good food. Local folk are lovely and be prepared to chat when walking your dog in the morning. The Cottage is a great base for touring the North East with Staithes and Whitby close by .

  All equipment is up to date, functional and clean, and if anything does go wrong the owner lives on site so able rectify issues immediately. The area is also great for seeing everything that this part of the country offers. We dined at the KASKANE restaurant every evening where you can expect great food and the very best of service all at very reasonable prices, also they are very dog friendly. A piece of advice here is book in as it is very busy sometimes. We will definitely return to any of these cottages as we know their high standards and hospitality.
