• Mary-ann - Verified booking

  We have booked holidays with Sykes Cottages before so were confident we would be happy with Quoits Cottage nr Goathland in North Yorkshire ( we know the area quite well ).

  Beautiful Moorland, Pretty Villages & Towns , Not far from the coast , plenty to see & do. Our first impression on approaching the cottage — it was situated in a lovely, peaceful spot ,it overlooked the village green & there was plenty of space to park the car. So far so good !! We then we unlocked the back door & were straight into the kitchen — Wow !! Beautifully decorated, spacious, light & airy,very clean with all the appliances that are required in today’s kitchen. In addition there was ‘A Welcome Gift’ - beautiful home made sponge, fresh cream scones, small cakes & a selection of sandwiches, even fresh milk in the fridge. What A Welcome !!! The rest of Quoits Cottage didn’t disappoint - gorgeous lounge with a comfortable suite, log- burner, large tv & wi-fi. - separate dining room - two good sized bedrooms - reasonable sized bathroom with shower into bath The cottage was beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean , a delight to stay in !! Sam, the owner is a lovely lady .She lives next door but is never intrusive but so welcoming and helpful when needed. We booked another cottage holiday with Sykes a couple of months ago ,for early 2020. However we want to return to Quoits Cottage in the not too distant future. Thank you to Sam & Sykes Holiday Cottages for a lovely, unforgettable holiday. Mary & Arthur Naylor

  Quoits cottage is exquisite.

  We had a lovely time in this beautiful and idyllic cottage. Sam is a great host and she’s just next door. We were welcomed into the cottage with a selection of sandwiches and cakes, which is a lovely touch. Sam then greeted us once settled in and was very welcoming and friendly and gave the children some more cakes and paid an interest in the children, which they loved . Sam doesn’t bother you then for the rest of your holiday but you can contact her if needed but we didn’t need to because everything is so well maintained and thought out. The cottage is cleaned to a very high standard on arrival, The decor is lovely and the furniture comfortable and well maintained.The garden area is lovely to relax in and read a book or just listen to nature. Cottage Instructions are clear but not overbearing with do’s and Dont’s. The location of the cottage is very tranquil and quiet, the sheep wondering on the green outside is lovely to see each morning. The surrounding area is beautiful with the lovely Goathland just a 1 mile drive away. Quoits cottage is a great base if you are looking for a walking holiday around the beautiful countryside or if you just want a base to get to all the towns and attractions North Yorkshire offers. We would highly recommend Quoits cottage to couples, friends or families, this cottage would suit anybody, there is nothing not to like about it . It’s perfect and we hope to return again one day soon. Thank you again Sam!

  The cottage was spotless.

  This was by far the best cottage we have ever stayed in. Sam, the owner is bext door if needed. She is lovely but we did not need to disturb her. Great location for walking. A lovely cake and scones along with tea and milk awaited us. Very much appreciated after a long journey. Be aware that sheep roam freely around the area and you may get an early morning wake up from them calling.The local quoits team appeared unexpectedly on Tuesday which was lovely. One of the team sat with us and explained the rules. Everyone in the area is friendly. The North Yorkshire Railway was a treat to ride along. The staff were knowledgeable and helped us with the baffling timetable. Birch hall inn is a treasure and chatting to the owners and locals gave us great options for walking. Walking from the cottage daily was great as we got to see local wildlife including deer. Downside is you need to travel to Pickering or Whitby if you are planning on getting food other than essentials. If you don't want to cook though, there are plenty of tea rooms, cafes and pubs to choose from. Highly recommend this gem.

  This was our third visit to Quoits.

  We have previously been in March 2018 and seen winter in its log fired splendour, October 2018 for the autumn leaves. This time we went for the spring / summer flowers, leaves and fauna. The walking here is wonderful and dependent upon your needs can be serene or challenging. This time we did both and the views were breathtaking. The Quoits players played two nights which was entertaining. The fat lambs gave their mums the run around and were a joy to watch. Beautiful birds, butterflies and flowers. The sausage roll at the school house cafe at Grosmont and their coffee and scones was smashing. Val particularly enjoyed the steam trains there. The goodies that Sam put on for our arrival were really, really great. We couldn’t speak more highly of the owners, Sam and Andy, they are lovely, considerate people. The cottage is spotless, well equipped and comfortable. We sat in the sun on the garden seat watching the birds and bees a lot, the plants and trees smell lovely. Again a lovely week, thankyou Sam and Andy.

  This has been the most relaxing and peaceful holiday we have ever had, The cottage was so much nicer than the pictures portray, The sound of the birds echoed from early morning until night with sunshine until the last day, We had the most memorable holiday ever, Upon arrival we found the owner had done so much more than provide a lovely cottage for our stay, a large carrot cake, fresh jam and cream scones plus a selection of freshly made sandwiches so what more could you ask for after a long drive, and if that was a surprise then the freshly made sandwiches provided for our return journey was even more appreciated, Well done Sam for all your hard work and the extras provided, We look forward to going back for our second stay again next year,
