  For 3 adults and 2 teen boys this was a beautiful property that serves as a great base for visiting nearby coastal towns. One neighbour was very welcoming, another not so much. The local beach is not accessible. Although it’s close, the very steep stairs to it are being upgraded and are blocked off. The parking is not suitable for suv or large cars. We had to get out of the car before being parked to allow for a very tight squeeze into the space. We visited lots of nearby towns and historical sites, wonderful if you are an English Heritage member. The shower is really great, and the beds were comfy. The hob and oven were lovely to use and thank goodness for the dishwasher. It gets very breezy at the rear of the property - something to be aware of if you need/want the windows open. The fish and chip shop in Hinderwell was great. If you want to eat in the nearest pub I recommend booking. The second pub wasn’t as pleasant inside, although the barman was lovely. Overall a good base, but parking made it awkward.

  Spent a week in this spotless cottage with a beautiful sun trap of a decked garden and conservatory in August.

  We were welcomed with local produce and everything was as described in the listing and more. The sofa was a home away from home, and dare for anyone to last more than ten minutes on it without falling asleep (thanks for the blankets) The games in the cupboard were fun to play in the evening with the teens and I ended up needing to buy a version to take home. Hinderwell is pretty. Highly recommend Mark's hospitality at the Brown Cow a short walk around the corner, together with the sausage rolls from the butchers and a darling little beauty salon with an owner who makes bespoke silver jewellery. Would recommend booking The Magpie in Whitby for fish and chips and also the steam train from Whitby to Pickering via Goathland (Aidensfield) On the whole 11/10. Would love to come back. A huge thank you to the owner. We saw North Yorkshire at its most vibrant.

  This was our first time staying in this area and we had a great time.

  Pond Farm View is in a great location for walks on your doorstep, Runswick Bay and a walk to Staithes along the Cleveland Way to name a few. Plenty of places to eat out also and enjoy good local food and plenty of sea food. The accommodation Pond Farm view offered was excellent, it was clean tidy and offered everything needed for a comfortable stay with plenty of room to chill and relax in. Beds were comfortable and welcome after doing long walks getting and getting some well earned rest and sleep. Bonus of having off road parking was great as we didn't have to look for some were to park after being out for the day but if you have a bigger than average car like I have you may find it a bit tight but do able. All in all a great place and a great base for exploring the area.

  We wouldn't hesitate returning to Pond Farm View!

  Its location was perfect for our favourite beach, Runswick Bay, as well as Robin Hood Bay, Whitby, Sandsend etc. The property itself was immaculate and extremely well equipped (we did miss a spatula however), even down to the little touches such as the picnic basket, parasol, bucket and spade. We also appreciated the tourist leaflets and enjoyed looking through them for our next visit. One thing we would like to mention - we guess it was the gardener, who walked through the side gate to the courtyard out the back, while we were sitting playing a game in the lounge. We would have appreciated notification of this, but it certainly didn't spoil our stay here, and we will definitely be returning. Everything was thought of, thank you for a fantastic albeit very brief stay!

  The location is great. Just be aware that only 1 parking space and stifle to get the second car parked close by we had to leave it on the road at the end. It’s a shame you cannot get down to the port now, as this was one of the reasons we booked here but the Cleveland path is great one to start walks from still. The view from the back of the house is amazing, it’s the main point of the cottage for sure. It’s worth noting that the pictures do seem to make it look bigger than it is and for a family of 4 adults and 1 teen is was just big enough as the teen and old child kept to their rooms when in .
