Lavender Cottage Reviews

Justin
The only issue my family discussed was the beds are on the firm side, as we are used to very soft mattresses, other than that impeccable, the locals are super friendly, cottage is very modern and clean, and the hot tub a bonus after all the walking we were doing. Would defo recommend for upto 4 people
Got off to a rocky start when there was no water in the hot tub and boiler wasnt working so no heating or hot water. Quick call to Sykes and a man was there filling the hot tub very quickly but then we had to wait for it to warm up so couldnt go in it the first night. The boiler had no pressure so I watched a YouTube video to see if I could top it up. Boiler kicked in and all was well. Had a lovely few days relaxing in the hot tub, visiting the local beaches and eating out. Neighbours very friendly and the dogs enjoyed it too.
Danielle
We really enjoyed our stay and the location. It was well kept, appointed, and met all of our needs and expectations. We look forward to returning.
On first appearances Lavender cottage is lovely with nice furnishings, modern kitchen and bathrooms and a hot tub. BUT, then we had a few problems which reading previous guests comments they also did and sadly they weren't rectified before our stay. The tv has no signal so you can only access apps or catch up if you can log in with your own account. The toaster tripped all the electrics, we only found the fuse box by chatting to the neighbors. The boiler was switched off so we had no heating to dry towels on the heated rails. The hot tub was set on the lowest temperature and couldn't be altered so it wasn't warm enough. There was no mirror or storage in the second bedroom only a small bedside drawer unit. Plus unfortunately the rear garden was like a building site, clearly work in progress. We did try contacting the housekeeper who I received a text from on the day we arrived saying to contact her if we had any problems. I did this on day 2 and again on day 4 but both times had no response back. On day 5 I got in touch with Sykes direct who did get in touch with her and she rang me whilst we were on our way home. We left a day early as we were so disappointed with our holiday. Apparently she was out of the country and didn't receive my messages! Why then did I receive hers on day 1 saying she was first point if contact! Hopefully now the issues will be delt with too late for us but for future guests. With the help from Sykes the owners have gone some way to compensate us for this. We have stayed in many self catering cottages and have to say this is the first one we have had any issues with. Sykes are usually very good with their descriptions and ratings. Lavender cottage has the potential to be a lovely holiday let with the hot tub and beautiful garden for Al fresco diningkids play area when it's finished. On a positive note, the neighbors are lovely, very friendly and helpful. There are some lovely places to visit and we did a couple of good walks from the cottage. We would recommend Mad Alices bar for drinks and also Kascane Cafe was very reasonable for food and drinks.
Great location plenty of things to do. 30 minutes drive to Whitby 1 hours drive to Scarborough. Cottage was very clean beds were very comfy.
Place was great and perfectly located for the moors and the coast however there was no information about anything in the house and I had to ring up to get the internet.

The Grainary Wildlife Farm - YO25 3HS
about 20 Miles
Located in Harwood Dale Village, North Yorkshire we think this attraction makes a superb family day out and couples will also enjoy the nature walks in the area.  There are 6 nature walks in total surrounding the farm so walkers and lovers of the outdoors will be in their element. Some of our favourite walks include the Spring Flowers, Pond and Village walk which takes around 35 minutes, and the Meadow and Trees walk which takes one hour.
Flamingo Land - YO60 7EW
about 24 Miles
Situated in Malton in North Yorkshire this has to be one of our favourite family days out.  It's a theme park and zoo all in one stretching over a massive 400 acres. With thrilling rides for the very daring like Cliff Hanger, Corkscrew and Kumali, there are also more gentle rides for the little ones such as Frog Hopper and Helitoys.  Family fun attractions include the 4D cinema, the lost river ride and the Little Monsters Den of Mischief. Check out their website for seasonal events which take place throughout the year and you can also gain more information about the zoo.  Flamingo Land is a resort as well as a theme park so you can also book accommodation there.
Scarborough Sea Life and Marine Sanctuary - YO12 6RP
about 25 Miles
If you are enjoying a lodge break in the Yorkshire Moors and Coast then a day trip to the Scarborough Sea Life and Marine Sanctuary highly recommended. This centre is one of the regions most popular attractions and is educational as well as fun. Visitors will enjoy a journey beneath the waves, meeting many strange, beautiful and fascinating creatures of the deep. As well as mighty sharks and beautiful rays guests can get up close to some more common creatures including star fish and can also meet the otters, seals and penguins at feeding time. The site also has children's play area and picnic tables as well as a restaurant and souvenir shop. Family tickets cost £46.80 but the Tourist Information Centres in Scarborough, Whitby or Filey often offer fantastic discounts.
Sea Life Marine Sanctuary - YO12 6RP
about 25 Miles
Located in the Scalby Mills area of Scarborough this makes a fun family day out for those who are interested in marine life. The fantastic ocean tank is well worth seeing - it's been transformed into a Turtle Reef and you can see an amazing array of colourful reef fish and coral. You may also catch a glimpse of the tropical sharks and turtles. Offering good value for money this is a day out with a difference and an all weather attraction.
Betton Farm Visitor Centre - TF9 3PS
about 26 Miles
Betton Farm Visitor Centre is the ideal attraction close to the North Yorkshire coastal town of Scarborough. This animal farm has all the cute farm animals you would expect to see and will appeal to younger children especially.  A great place to both play and learn we think the Betton Farm Visitor centre is great value for money.  Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs.  Some of the highlights of the day might include meeting Sofie the Shetland Pony and Henry the goat, as well as the pot bellied pigs called Porky and Hammy. 
Peasholm Park - YO12 6QQ
about 26 Miles
This attraction is ideal for sunny days as the beautiful park is ideal for wandering out and taking in the scenery.  You can hire boats including rowing boats and canoes to enjoy the views from the water.  The pedalos with the dragon heads are always a popular choice too. Look out for special events including the Battle of Peasholm Park Naval Battle which has been described as a "must see".  You can also take a ride on the North Bay Railway which will delight children.
Castle Howard - YO60 7DA
about 29 Miles
Castle Howard is one of the regions most beautiful and historic landmarks and is located in 1,000 acres of parkland with breathtaking gardens to explore. As well as exploring the castle visitors can enjoy attractios including the unique Land Train - the best way to see the entire park. There is also a large lake offering boat trips during the summer months. In high season the site is very popular with families and offers organised activities for children including tours, talks, crafting and animal encounters. The site also has a Nature Trail which is fun for the whole family and an Adventure Playground where children can run off some energy.
Yorkshire Lavender - YO60 6PB
about 29 Miles
Yorkshire Lavender is an amazing award winning attraction offering breathtaking panoramic views of York, a Café, Plant Nursery and Lavender Gardens. The 60 acre site is set in an area of outstanding natural beauty and is an excellent choice for a day trip. The onsite shops sells Lavender products such as bath and body treats, skincare, medicine and herbal remedies.
