Wykewood is lovely cottage tucked away next to a wood and so offers plenty of privacy and seclusion.

Truly a rural idyll, peaceful and relaxing. Well located for walks, pubs, the moors, coastal towns and villages. Highly recommend.

Elizabeth

A delightful, well equipped and comfortable cottage in a quiet, beautiful setting. It was very clean, with a maid service halfway through our two week stay which was appreciated. It was in easy reach of most of the local attractions both coastal and moorland. A perfect place to unwind. We enjoyed some of the best fish and chips ever in Whitby (MagpRead moreie Cafe and Trenchers) and also, for something a bit more upmarket, we would recommend Estbek House (Sandsend) and The Homestead (Goathland).

Richard

Really lovely place, lots of considerations in its appointment, great welcome basket, everything we needed a proper home from home. Location really great for what we were planning, great local facilities, the situation of the cottage makes it very secluded and peacful, lots of walking accessable without having to drive. Richard Izzy and Monica

Emma

It the first time I have booked a property to stay at and it was for our first girls trip away together to celebrate our friends 40th birthday. The place was perfect , so comfortable and relaxing we had everything we could have needed and more. The decor was perfect and comfort 5 stars. The hamper was a very lovely touch. The hot tub is easy to useRead more just takes time and patience and we were very sad to leave at the end of our stay. Would not hesitate to come stay here again - absolutely perfect. Hide

Definitely a 5 star cottage. Highly recommended for the beautiful house and peaceful location

Marion

The cottage is immaculate; clean, very tastefully decorated, warm, comfortable and provided for our every need. It is situated in picturesque, secluded surroundings and in our weeks stay we saw a roebuck, rabbits and squirrels in the garden. The hot tub is an indulgent luxury which is made more magical by the thoughtfully designed outdoor lighting.Read more We plan to return. Hide

Anne

A very comfortable and well equipped property in a wonderfully quiet location yet handy for good walking, nice pubs and days out to Whitby, Dalby Forest, and many other local attractions.

Diane

A lovely property, just a short walk from the cinder track giving access to great food and drink at the Hayburn Wyke Inn. The property is set back from the road and there is no traffic noise whatsoever, very peaceful indeed. The owners where easily contacted by telephone for any queries and could not have been more helpful. We loved it.

Geoffrey

This was the best weekend we have had for quite a long time and that was down to the quality of the property, it's placement and Glinys's great response times on any queries . Would highly recommend .

Sarah

Paul

Beautiful eco friendly cottage in a secluded location and the wood fired hot tub is the icing on the cake.

Sarah

What a fantastic location tucked away from the rest of the world. Beautiful cottage with all the facilities you need and some extras. The hot tub is definitely worth it and then relaxing in front of the fire . Beautiful pubs near by for meals and we can definitely recommend the 3 jolly sailors for a meal that's is cooked to excellent standards remi nding you of what your gran would have made and the portions are huge . If you want time to relax and chill this is an excellent place to stay

Lynette

Great property furnished and equipped to a high standard. Excellent welcome pack and we loved the hot tub! We can see why we paid a little more but it was maybe a little pricey. The lounge could be made a little less crowded with less furniture and an extra comfy chair for the fourth person. However overall excellent!

Nick

We are repeated visitors to Wykewood Cottage and recommend it to anyone wanting a relaxing break with facilities and amenities to suit warm summer outside days, or cold winter inside sanctuary days.

Stuart

Absolutely beautiful cottage in a peaceful, pretty location. Very nicely fitted out, and plenty of wildlife in the gardens and woods surrounding the property - owls, rabbits, deer and more! A great base for exploring Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay, too. Thoroughly recommended.

Lynsey

Wykewood is absolutely stunning - everything has been thought of and it is to such a high standard. It is in a peaceful location... we feel like we have been on holiday a month not a week! We had visits from Roe Deer, Rabbits and could hear the Tawny Owls. Hot tub was used daily and the hamper on arrival was a welcome addition- thank you. Perfectly located between Scarborough and Whitby we had plenty of adventures away from the cottage. We will certainly be back. Missing the views already.

Kate

For those who like peace and quiet with the comforts of home, this is just perfect. We particularly liked the concern for the environment that the build has incorporated. This is followed through with eco-friendly cleaning products. The welcome hamper was a nice touch. We always mark our holidays out of 10 and this scored the perfect 10.

Leah

If you're reading these reviews and wondering whether Wykewood could be as good as it looks - it really is! We loved our week there. The house is luxurious - really well designed and equipped. The garden is lovely and peaceful and the hot tub is a treat at the end of a long walk. Great location for exploring all of the nearby coast - Scarborough, F iley, Robin Hood's Bay, Whitby and Staithes. Walking back from the nearby pub we spotted deer, an owl and a badger. A fabulous place to stay

Trevor

This Property is in a super location and very well equipped.

Sally

We had a lovely relaxing week at Wykewood really easy to book and liaise with. A beautiful house and so close to the wonderful coastline for walking and cycling. Woodfired hot tub was an absolute treat at the end of a day.

Denise

This was our second stay, home from home. A beautifully appointed cottage in such peace and tranquility, so relaxing yet close to all the popular east coast area. Lots of local beautiful walks, we were so lucky to see a lot of wildlife, so many roe deer this time around and the majestic barn owls, not forgetting the many, many cute rabbits. The wel come hamper and extra treats were very much appreciated. We think the most perfect of cottages we have ever visited, highly recommend, enjoy !!

Darran

This was our third stay at Wykewood for a reason. Everything has been thought of, every luxury catered for and just the little touches - seasoning, oils and the welcome pack all make this place wonderful. The cottage is beautifully situated far away from and road and noise that youll think youre in paradise.

David

Stunning cottage inside and out. Serene location. Perfect for spotting wildlife. Made sure we had enough food and supplies for the first couple of days and planned a day out sight seeing and to restock, knowing the remote location. 20 min walk along the cinder track is the Hayburn Wyke Inn. Great for food and a couple of drinks. Take a torch if you are going to be walking back in the dark. The hot tub was very welcome after a days walking or sight seeing.

Andrew

Beautiful secluded property but in walking distance of Cleveland Way . Very comfortable and well appointed cottage- comfy bed, great shower and super kitchen . Hot tub fantastic especially after long walks . Enjoyed Scarborough and the Harbour Bar, Whitby, Staithes, Scalby and Robin Hoods Bay . Would highly recommend this cottage.

Jacqueline

Best cottage we have stayed in - for so many reasons;- Fabulous location both tranquil and easy to reach the sea and other stunning locations. Fabulously appointed with every comfort thought about. Very cosy on the inside . And very enjoyable outside space - beautiful with plenty of well located seating areas to enjoy. Balinese hot tub is just Devi ne .

Fantastic cottage - well appointed - great location.

Catherine

Superb cottage. So tranquil - if you are after complete rest and relaxation this is the place. Very comfortable with walks from the door. Had the most amazing festive stay.

Allen

What a beautiful place to stay! The bedrooms with ensuite facilities were excellent and the kitchen/dining/living area were really homely. The hot tub was nice, and the surroundings were really pleasant. The Bryherstones pub along the road was really inviting should you want to go out for the evening and the steaks were excellent, although a little pricey. Landlord and staff were very welcoming! I'd certainly recommend this cottage, and will definitely stay there again when I'm in the area!
