Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage generally receives positive remarks for cleanliness, with guests finding it tidy and well-kept. A few minor comments suggest room for improvement, but these do not detract significantly from the overall perception of a clean environment.
The location is highly praised for its tranquillity and proximity to local attractions like Scarborough, Whitby, and the Cleveland Way. It serves as an ideal base for exploring the surrounding areas, with easy access to coastal walks and nearby pubs.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the living areas cosy, especially with the fire going. Some concerns are raised about the heating and the bedroom configuration, but overall, the cottage provides a comfortable stay.
While the kitchen is well-equipped and the cottage spacious, there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as the need for bathroom updates, inconsistent heating, and appliance malfunctions. The owner appears responsive to these concerns, indicating a commitment to improvement.
There are mixed comments regarding the welcome pack provided, with some guests finding it lacking. As the provision of gifts such as welcome packs can vary and are not guaranteed, it is not possible to accurately score thoughtfulness based on the available reviews.
About this property
This 100-year-old stone built detached former coach house lies on the edge of the small scattered village of Staintondale, between Scarborough and Whitby. Set within the North York Moors National Park, it is an ideal base for families or groups of friends to explore both the nearby dramatic coastline and the stunning surrounding scenery. Inside, there is a welcoming sitting room, with a crackling open fire and character beams. The separate dining room has a stone flagged floor and large glass patio doors, while the well-equipped country style kitchen is perfect for preparing tasty family meals. With a ground floor single bedroom and bathroom, and an en-suite off the twin room, this charming property caters for all needs. Outside, there is a small rear patio, ideal for guests to sit and relax with a morning coffee, before heading off for the day. From the door, there are excellent walking and cycling opportunities, with the 23 mile Cinder Track just down the road and the clifftop Cleveland Way Trail just a little further. The nearby traditional coastal resort of Scarborough is a delight, where the family can enjoy the classic seaside fun of building sandcastles, paddling in the sea, donkey rides and tackling candy floss, as well as trying your hand at surfing. Stroll along the promenade, climb up to the castle ruins, or wander around the pretty gardens, including Peasholm Park. The fresh sea air will whet your appetite and there is plenty of choice, with cafes, bistros and good restaurants to tempt you, along with renowned fish and chips. With the spectacular scenery of the North York Moors to explore, plus Whitby and quaint coastal villages such as Robin Hood's Bay to visit, your first visit to Wyke Lodge Cottage won't be your last.
Staintondale is a delightful village on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors, close to the coast. Midway between the fishing town of Whitby, with its Abbey, and the town of Scarborough, with its theatres and entertainment, it is a haven of peace offering the best of both worlds. From Staintondale itself, a network of footpaths and bridleways can be enjoyed.

A couple of glitches were sorted out very quickly by the owner. The cottage is nicely decorated and comfortable. Beautiful surroundings and very quiet considering it is right next to the road. The only drawbacks were access to the house. Because it is situated on a narrow, hilly, bendy road, there is nowhere safe to park a car whilst you negotiate getting the keys from the key safe to open the electric gates, and the kitchen equipment, all of which could do with a bit of updating (especially the range cooker).
