Feedback from customers who have stayed at our cottages.

Beautiful house which as soon as we walked through the door we felt right at home. Had everything we needed to self cater and such beautiful interior design. Would recommend to all, clean, tidy and just perfect. Jane was a great host, kept in touch, great instructions and gave local knowledge when requested. Thank you Jane and we hope to return. Feb 2024

Had the most wonderful weekend stay at Starboard Cottage. A fabulous guest hamper on arrival with an abundance of goodies for the weekend. The house is wonderful with ample space. Jane was an incredible host with quick and attentive communication. The pub is a couple of doors away which served well for Sunday lunch. The downstairs shower proved very handy for an adventurous dog and child. All in all an incredible stay, would definitely return. Jan 24

A lovely place to stay – home from home. We really appreciated the attention to detail and beautiful decor in the house. The kitchen and bathroom were particularly beautiful and very well stocked . Would highly recommend. Nov 23

Jane proved to be a fantastic host! She has created a beautiful home from home, with stylish and thoughtful decor, excellent amenities and quality furnishings, and even a thoughtful finishing touch of a welcome basket. The garden is such a plus, and our daughter loved the trampoline! A short walk to Runswick beach for fossil hunting and Staithes, Whitby and Saltburn are all so close by. Thanks for having us Jane, we would love to come back! Oct 2023

Loved our weekend away with my husband and 3 girls. Loved the location. Recommend walking along top bank and through the little alleyways of the village. So pretty. The bay was amazing – so many fossils! We went to the local pub which is super handy. Then Magpie Cafe in Whitby and the Cod and Lobster in Staithes. Jane’s house was so well appointed. Everything you need, kids loved the trampoline, super clear instructions and very responsive. Thank you so much! 🙂 Oct 2023

We had the most fabulous stay at Jane’s cottage. It was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated with fantastic attention to detail. The garden is huge and well kept, the location is perfect just a short walk to the beach. Will definitely be back and would thoroughly recommend, absolutely wonderful. Sept 2023

Myself, husband, our 4 month old girl and little dog had the most amazing break away at Starboard cottage. The cottage is equipped with everything we needed and is beautifully decorated. The garden is spectacular. Our Cavapoo loved running up and down, and the bonus of a trampoline brought me back 15 years! Location was great, perfect for Runswick Bay beach, a pub, cafe and only 15 minutes in the car to Whitby! Jane was very helpful and so quick to respond. Sept 2023

We had a brilliant stay at Starboard Cottage. Excellent information beforehand and communication from Jane during our stay and lovely welcome pack too. The house is beautiful and garden with trampoline and football & basketball net was a huge hit with our children. We have visited Runswick before and loved the beautiful beaches, we would love to come again and would very happily return to Jane’s place. Fantastic family holiday! August 2023

Starboard Cottage is a well equipped home-from-home with lovely decor, linen, crockery and furnishings. The trampoline and football goal in the back garden were a great success with my granddaughter. The cottage is a short walking distance from the beautiful beach at Runswick Bay and the location is within easy driving (or bus-trip) distance of Sandsend, Whitby and Saltburn. I would highly recommend it. July 2023

We had a brief but fantastic stay in Janes property. We found it scrupulously clean, very ‘themed’ for the location and extremely comfortable. It truly felt like home. This was ‘back to my roots’ and the beauty of the area had faded over time, we certainly won’t leave it so long to return and Starboard Cottage will be our first choice. No hesitation in recommending this property and if you go to the local pub (50 yards away) try the corned beef pie! Scrummy. July 2023

We absolutely loved staying in Runswick Bay. Beautiful home and fantastic location. We will be booking a return visit soon. Would recommend to all. June 2023

We had a wonderful time staying at Jane’s place. The house is beautiful, very stylish, extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean and the garden is amazing. The location is fantastic, a short walk to Runswick Bay beach which is a really beautiful little seaside village. Would highly recommend Jane’s place! June 2023

We have enjoyed an amazing weekend at the Starboard cottage. The house was more spacious than we anticipated and beautifully decorated. Lots of thought has been put into homely extras which made our stay very enjoyable and the large garden kept both grandparents and toddlers happy! Perfect location for both walking and the beach, we cannot wait to come back! May 2023

We had a wonderful stay at Jane’s cottage. It is beautifully decorated, very homely and very well equipped. The hammock and trampoline in the large securely fenced garden were a huge bonus. It’s a great location, easily walkable to the beautiful beach at Runswick Bay and an easy drive to Staithes, Sandsend and Whitby. Jane was very helpful and easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend staying here and we are hoping to stay again soon. May 2023

Just spent a fabulous 5 days at Jane’s cottage. Wow, it’s beautiful – everything you could wish for and more! Super comfy beds, a cosy lounge, huge bathroom. The kids loved the outdoor space, and spent hours on the trampoline. Very peaceful location, in short driving distance to local shops. Perfect location for visiting the very pretty Staithes, Saltburn and Whitby. Would highly recommend. Thank you Jane for letting us stay in your wonderful cottage. April 2023
