  Very clean and well equipped, a great base to explore the beautiful surrounding area. Would definitely recommend to anyone. We will be back!

• "A lovely cottage with a nice welcome as set out in the description."

  Owner contacted myself just after I had booked it etc I had to contact owner a few days before we arrived to see if we could arrive a little earlier that was fine. Off street parking not a problem at all only a very short walk less than 30 seconds to cottage. Blacksmiths Arms in village lovely pub went 3 times . Only one thing to really day is the Village Store shop only opens Friday, Saturday & Sunday but Stokesley just up the road and Guisborough 20 mins away have a good number of shops if needed. Only problem is you are a bit to far away from a few places near to the seaside other than that we really enjoyed it.

• "Had a lovely time as we were 2 people,A small saucepan would be nice and a mention in the notes of where the lightswitch is for the main room and maybe a grey line around the fire surround to make the edge more visible."

  My bed was very comfortable and the bath long enough to lay in which was very acceptable.The cake and tea and coffee were a nice touch.Overall cosy was a very good name for the cottage and the experience

• "Great holiday, interesting village, enjoyed the pubs, the towns and the coast."

  Can't think of many improvements for the owner. We couldn't really figure out the heaters so it ended up a bit hotter than we would like, (and wasted the owners energy). So clearer instructions would be useful.

  I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay. I will look at giving more instructions for the heaters thank you for the suggestion. Property Owner

• "We enjoyed our stay but there were a few problems with the bathroom door not shutting properly and the door knob was loose and actually fell off and my husband screwed this back on aswell screws that fell out from two dining room chairs."

  Also the cupboard in bathroom wouldn't close. I know it was listed but a washing machine would have been more useful than a dishwasher.

  Thank you for staying at Cosy Cottage, I am pleased you enjoyed your stay and highlighting the bathroom door handle and the two loose screws in the dinning room chairs . If you had called or messaged me I would have been more than happy to come straight down and tighten the screws. I am puzzled by the comment about the cupboard door in the bathroom not closing because it does close . The facilities are as stated in the details provided by Sykes so I feel it is a little unfair to down grade me by so much when the facilities are “as stated “ I am very sorry that the bathroom handle came loose but it does not mean the whole cottage is badly maintained. Kind Regards Amanda Property Owner

• "There was no sign saying comfy cottage, and it was number 100 with a blue door, not white."

  It was only when we got inside it said cosy cottage.. A very pre try cottage, but needs to have the proper address so it can be found easily.

  Thank you for staying at Cosy Cottage, I did email you the week before your stay, as you requested on 29th January that nearer the time could I send you the full address so you could put it in your Satnav and where to collect the keys from. This information is also in the information sent to you by Sykes. I included in the email that the cottage is 100 High Street and the full addressI I also said that the door to the cottage is now blue with no 100 on it. I am at a loss to know how the information given to you twice could have been any clearer. Property Owner

• "Lovely little cottage and exactly as described."

  We were welcomed by delicious chocolate cake and thankfully a pint of milk and teabags for that initial all important cup of tea on arrival. The decoration and equipment was very well thought out. Lovely well kept and friendly little village with walks from the door and not far away from shops and all amenities. Wonderful area for a break. We visited Staithes, Whitby, Cleveland Way walks, the Gate house to the old castle on the hill and the lovely old church and the nearby reservoir walks. Our Jack Russell soon settled in the college and enjoyed a few of the dog treats left by the owner. The owner sent us a friendly introductory email prior to our holiday which was a lovely thoughtful touch from, i am sure, a very busy person.

  Dear Anne, thank you so much for your lovely review, you sound to have had a wonderful stay. Property Owner

  Very nice and quiet for 2 3 at a push Over the week we reduced the heating as the cottage was too warm with all heaters on if had been staying longer would have solely relied on wood burner rather than both storage heaters snd wood burner But otherwise very lovely place could hear the weather was blowing quite a bit outside but didn’t affect our stay at all it felt “cosy” shut curtains and forget outside

  Very cosy and welcoming. Spotlessly clean. Very warm and comfortable. So warm and cosy that we didn't need to use the wood burner. Very quiet. Everything we needed was supplied.

Lovely walks direct from the cottage and some lovely pubs and restaurants within walking distance. 30 mins drive to Saltburn for the seaside.

  With the shower over the bath it made it difficult for my partner to access it safely. A small hand rail would of been great. Going down the stairs too.....a couple of small hand rails would be ideal....other that that it was very cosy

  Dear Mr Charlton, Thank you for your customer feed back, I am pleased that you enjoyed your stay in Cosy Cottage. The details do clearly state that the shower is above the bath, therefore my cottage was perhaps not suitable for you to book if your partner has limited mobility. My bathroom intentionally gives my guests the option of having a bath or a shower but it is not possible to separate them. Property Owner

  The cottage definitely lived up to its name we loved it. Extremely nice touch to have homemade cake waiting for us on arrival. Great communication from owner and everything was clean and in place for a perfect stay. Cottage located within short driving distance to Bettys tea room in Northallerton, Janes Herriot World at Thirsk and 40 miles away from Whitby so in a perfect location. Lots of English Heritage places to visit nearby so we joined whilst we visiting. Two pubs in the village for food and drink - we went to The Blacksmiths Arms and has a fantastic meal. Also loved the Rusty Bike Cafe in the village for coffee, cake and bacon rolls.

  Knew we were on a winner when a dog towel was hanging inside the front door. Swainby exceeded expectations, picturesque village with a community feel, very good food at dog friendly Blacksmiths Arms where dogs are allowed inside as well as the Rusty Bike cafe. Beware, no shop though. Cleveland Way a quarter of a mile away and Whorlton Castle with Darnley and Mary Queen of Scots association a short stroll away. Excellent location for walkers.

• "Swainby is a lovely village with extremely friendly people."

  Cottage was well equipped and ideal for 2 to 3 people. Good pubs and a good cafe called the Rusty Bike all well worth a visit, but no shops to buy essentials so it's a journey to buy provisions. Would not visit again but only due to location.

  Cosy Cottage is less than 100 yards from the village shop which is closed at the moment for a complete refurbishment and will soon be open as a cafe, a traditional sweet shop and a grocery store, and this will be a great asset to my guests and the village. Property Owner

• "Wow! What a warm welcome we received, a chilly morning but opened the door to lovely warm cottage throughout Tea and coffee supplies on the side, milk in the fridge and a container with homemade cake even a jar of doggy treats for our fur baby."

  The Log burner was laid up ready to light, we did not need to use but did light on the one evening we stayed in. Full instructions on how to use everything in a folder and an interesting visitors book which was fun to read. People in the village were very friendly and we ate in both pubs and the Rusty Bike cafe. Our only complaint is that the bed is not very comfortable with a very soft mattress which did not suit me and also used to a king size but do understand in a cottage a normal double is correct for the room size. So not really a complaint just my preference..
