"This cottage is absolutely lovely."
We had a great week staying with our dog & had a relaxing & restful time exploring locally & further afield.
Engine Room Cottage is undoubtedly the most dog friendly cottage we’ve stayed in; it was spotlessly clean, very well equipped & Catherine was a superb host - thank you!
We hope to return soon!
Thank you Roger it was a delight to host you all. Glad you appreciated the joys of our beautiful Engine Room. Come back and stay soon. Catherine & family

"This was a last-minute booking which we decided to make as the weather forecast was looking so good, so I’m a way we were limited in choice."
Engine Room cottage certainly did not disappoint….very thoughtfully prepared by its owner, Catherine, who could not be more helpful.
Some superb finishing touches such as Bluetooth speaker, lots of magazines and games to amuse if the weather is poor, and the pass giving access to nearby Sledmere House and Gardens is way above and beyond what we had expected.
It’s nice that Catherine clearly cares a lot about the guest experience….she contacted us during our journey to advise of a, really very minor issue that had been discovered during the changeover, which did not affect us at all, but Catherine clearly was concerned that everything was fine.
As for location etc, it’s in a really nice place for early morning and evening dog walks around the Sledmere deer park (back to T junction left then right) and other visitor attractions within easy reach, The beach at Hunmanby Gap that is recommended in the guest folder is amazing!
I’m so happy that you loved your last minute stay at Engine Room and that we exceeded your expectations. It’s a lovely part of Yorkshire with so much to do in and around Sledmere. Thank you for your glowing review. Come back again some time.

"Just returned from a great break at Engine Room Cottage, Sledmere."
The Cottage is located on the outskirts of the village on the Bridlington Rd. Although a main road the traffic, was minimal and road noise zero.
The Cottage is brilliantly furnished and offers 3 separate bathrooms, that was brilliant to our group of 3 couples. Two bedrooms are on the upper floor incorporating en-suite, whilst the third with 2 single beds is on the lower floor with an adjacent bathroom.
The lounge/kitchen is of open plan design, with patio doors offering access to limited outdoor seating.
The owner was a very obliging individual and couldn’t do enough for us, even though located some 50 miles away. The Cottage is superbly kitted out with every utensil you could imagine, games, dvd and books available.
We were somewhat limited in having access to Sledmere House as it was closed for the season, but our limited siting gave a desire to return and view at a later date..
We ate in the Triton Inn and I would highly recommend this, with a great selection of food and drinks.
We walked through to the other nearest pub/restaurant at Helperthorpe on Saturday afternoon, but were disappointed to discover that both locations didn’t open until 6.00pm and an 11 mile walk does give you appetite and thirst.
Visited Malton on Friday, the micro pub Brass Castle, well worth a visit.
If using Taxis, do some homework as the rates quoted from Sledmere to Malton, varied between £75, £45 & £33. Malton is a lovely visit and I would recommend.
Beware of limited parking at the Cottage and we did have s number of issues, but to be fair, it is recommended for 2 cars, but unfortunately we had 3.
Overall great location, great faculties, very clean and with a very obliging owner on the end of the phone.
Glad you enjoyed your stay. We hope you will return some day.

"We went from 8-12th August 2022, this truly was a hidden gem, the home is so cosy, beautiful and lovely nik naks (candles, towels etc) to make it homely and had everything you could have needed and more."
The extras such as Netflix, Prime and bathrobes are such a fantastic touch. Watching the sunset from the back garden was beautiful. We travelled to some beautiful beaches and the weather was beautiful. We will definitely be back again. Catherine was always available, even when we were looking for a nice takeaway, very welcoming. Thank you again, we had a wonderful few days. Nisha and Family xxx

"A beautiful ,well equipped cottage in an ideal location ."
Heart shaped lights were a lovely touch for Valentine’s Day as were the flowers ,tea bags and dog treats.
Each bedroom was spacious and well presented.An on suite to each bedroom was ideal for our family group.
Contact with the owner was lovely ,she really made us feel welcome.
The only slight improvement I would suggest would be a bolt on the front door and an extra lamp tv side of the living area.
We definitely recommend this cottage .

"Had a fabulous break at the Engine Room Cottage."
The property was equipped to a high standard and very well maintained. The are a number of great walks on your doorstep as well as Sledmere Hall with its estate and gardens, which is a 5 min walk into the village. Having free access to Sledmere was a bonus as we all enjoyed visiting the farm animals and deer park every evening. The Triton Inn (again 5 mins walk) served fantastic foods along with some great beers.
Whitby, Scarborough and Filey are all well within a short drive away, along with the beautiful Hunmanby Beach, as well as many pretty wolds villages.
Catherine was a great host and we are already looking to book again for next year.

"Delightful cottage, very well equipped and comfortable, and to the joy of our grandsons (8 and 10) it was recognisably a Fire Station."
The area generally was more interesting and attractive than we'd expected, and made us want to return and explore more - great beaches, attractive rolling countryside and pretty villages. The Pass to Sledmere House gardens and play areas was greatly appreciated - beautiful gardens, fun play areas and shops selling delicious food and ice-cream. Catherine was very helpful when we needed her, and communication was clear and unambiguous.

"We had a lovely stay at Engine Room Cottage in this historic, quaint village."
Sledmere house, estate and grounds and the local traditional country pub the Triton inn are just 10 minutes walk away and worth a visit. The cottage is well placed for coast, city and county.
The converted cottage was one of four on the old fire station site. They are quite close together but not overlooking each other. No garden but a patio area with a bench and fabulous outlook over the fields at the back with lambs running around. Very tidy, clean and nicely decorated with a tasteful fire station theme. There was wine awaiting us on arrival, which was a really nice touch and the owner Catherine contacted us the day before to wish us a good stay. The kitchen was particularly well equipped and the open plan downstairs is a great sociable space with a lovely big table for meals and the big squashy sofa was extremely comfy.
Lovely big bedrooms with stylish ensuites upstairs and comfortable beds. Lots of wardrobe space and hangers but we would have liked a chest of drawers in the upstairs bedrooms as there's lots of room and a full length mirror would be really good.
Overall a little pricey but very well equipped, stylish and comfortable cottage in a very picturesque individual village, I would definitely recommend and visit again.
