Altho' some reviewers found the place clean and tidy , as a couple who stay in several cottages each year, we found it quite 'unloved' and, quoting from another recent reviewer on Sykes Cottages : ""Whilst the property was comfortable it would benefit from a thorough spring clean, tidying up the flaky paintwork around the bathroom window, new place mats, coasters, chopping board, kitchen bin and dining chair seat covers." We would add to this list: replacing the rusty sink plugs in bath & bathroom sink, disposing of the carpet and scruffy runner in the kitchen, replacing the old lumpy cushions in the lounge and some dirty lampshades around the cottage. The sofa and armchair have seen 'better days' in our view...time to replace. Sadly the weather was poor during our week and I got a virus so stayed indoors for 2 days. The tiny bulb in the electric 'log effect ' electric fire did nothing to cheer me up when I was housebound! Bigger red bulb please! Netflix failed and I recommend a proper router be installed for BB..not just a booster from main house. In short, a nice little cottage in a lovely village but a better 'cleaning regime' and a new 'repairs and replacements regime' would show the owners had some pride in their offering. I have sent photo's to Sykes to apprise them of the shortcomings we found.

Ms Hardwick-smith

March 2019

Friendly and helpful host, and welcoming historic village with a wonderful pub known for it's meals.. Centrally located at the edge of the moors for the best of North Yorkshire sight seeing. The independence of a self contained small home, and the charm of the outlook onto the beck flowing through willows and beneath a small bridge, makes for a delightful holiday.

Mr Walker

January 2019

Perfect location for our needs which were mainly walking and chilling out.. The cottage is in a quiet, pleasant location in the village with a great pub which served beautiful food. Alan and Robyn were lovely (we were shown around, briefed on the important stuff then left alone to enjoy, we never saw them again until we left). I would not hesitate to recommend this beautiful place and we will definitely be returning soon. If you need to relax and enjoy some beautiful countryside this is the place to be.

Mrs Birds

Mrs Cornford

We really enjoyed our week at Beckside ,it is such a comfortable,cosy,peaceful place to stay and lovely to come back to at the end of each day.. The bathroom is really nice and modern and a good size and we thought there should be photos of this on your website as we have stayed at places(not with Sykes!) where the bathroom has been not so nice! The village of Lastingham is idyllic ,as is the surrounding area. The village pub,The Blacsmiths Arms has a lovely proper village pub buzz about and was busy the 4 nights we ate there which says it all . The food is excellent with a very varied menu and specials on offer to. Would not hesitate to stay here again

Lovely cottage set in a lovely quiet village surrounded by roaming sheep.. Cottage is well equipped with everything you need . Combination microwave which was enough for our needs as we like to eat out of an evening when on holiday but not for some. It was lovely to get back at the end if our day out to sit outside with a drink listening to the water & all the birds ( be prepared to feed them ) . Lovely sitting on the sofa first thing in the morning watching the birds there were so many they demolished a 2kg bag of bird seed we bought .

Dies war unser zweiter Aufenthalt im Beckside cottage von Robyn und Allen. Diesmal konnten wir fast drei Wochen in dieses kleine, sehr feine Cottage einziehen. Es war wie das erste Mal eine reine Freude hier zu residieren. Stilvoll eingerichtet, mit allem was man braucht, um einen entspannten Urlaub zu genießen. Ein perfektes kleines Cottage in einem wunderschönen kleinen ruhigen Ort. Wir kommen gewiss wieder.

Just finished a fabulous week at Beckside in the Yorkshire Moors. Lastingham is a beautiful village on the edge of Yorkshire moorland, and Beckside is a brilliant little cottage in which to stay. It’s very compact but has everything you need to make your stay homely and comfortable, with a well equipped if small kitchen. We ate in half the time. The owners, Robyn and Alan, live in the adjacent building. They are very friendly and helpful but never intrusive. There are so many footpaths from Lastingham that you can walk every day without the need to drive. The village pub The Blacksmiths Arms is very friendly, very quaint, has great beers on tap and serves very good pub food. We were lucky to enjoy warm sunny weather, making this a truly fabulous week in the Yorkshire Moors.

Lovely quiet little village with sheep roaming around would definitely recommend to anyone (be prepared to feed the birds) & we would love to stay here again

Phantastisches cottage direkt am kleinen Bach gelegen. Klein, aber für zwei Personen absolut ausreichend, mit kleiner Küchenzeile die alles beinhaltet was man braucht. Badezimmer von guter Größemit Badewanne und Duschfunktion. Das cottage ist sehr geschmackvoll und wertig eingerichtet. Es gibt draußen eine kleine Bank direkt am Bach und eine Sitzgelegenheit direkt vorm cottage. Die beiden Besitzer Robyn und Alan sind sehr freundlich und beantworten gerne alle Fragen zb. zu Ausflügen, wobei im cottage selber genug Informationsmaterial bereit liegt.

Beckside was in a lovely, quiet, peaceful location and was very comfortable. Ideal if you like walking as there are many walks from the cottage. We hope to return in the future.

Mr Bradley

The location is superb, it was away from the hustle and bustle of towns but close enough to be convenient. We were made welcome and felt at home straight away. There was plenty to do and still more to see, if we can we would like to visit again.

Mrs Chesson

A lovely little cottage in a quaint village within North York Moors. The cottage was beautifully presented and worked for a couple and a little baby, with nice walks from the village to other surrounding villages. Would thoroughly recommend.

Miss Griffiths

The location of Beckside is absolutely lovely, the people are so friendly and made us feel very welcome, it was almost as if we were part of the village ourselves.

Mrs Randall

June 2015

The cottage was positioned in a very attractive village beside the beck and we had a warm welcome when we arrived. The cottage was comfortable and spotless.

Mr Clacher

The location is ideal for walking on the moors or visiting Whitby, Scunthorpe or York. The property is ideal for a couple who want a quite time away from everyday life.

Mr Pugh

May 2015

Beckside was situated in a quiet rural setting which was central for North Yorkshire Towns e.t.c. There were excellent country walks and the experience was very relaxing.

mabs216

Once again for our third visit standard is just as high. Thank you. Also a handy pub around the corner if you want a very good meal.

Katherine23

We stayed at this cottage over Easter weekend. It's compact but perfectly formed! It's situated in a very lovely village with a great pub which we can highly recommend. Its next to the small stream and it's very peaceful. It was equipped with everything that we needed, tastefully decorated and we had a lovely four days. My husband even left his coat in the cottage and the owners very kindly posted it back – so thank you! We would definitely recommend this property.

Mr Woolston

June 2014

We liked the location, the peace and quiet and the village itself. The stream by the cottage was an added bonus and the local pub was fab.

Claireg17

No winding down needed here. As soon as I sat on the patio with a glass of wine listening to the sounds of the bubbling stream I started chilling! Although Beckside is quite a small property, it has been tastefully and cleverly planned to give it a spacious feel. It was spotlessly clean with quality furnishings. The only disadvantage we found was that the kitchen area was a little cramped for us, and whilst a microwave combination oven is adequate, we found it a little restrictive for our needs.

Mr Blackburn

April 2014

Beautiful setting, friendly owners, cosy cottage.

Dr Bettinger

August 2013

We found Beckside to be very comfortable, stylish, well-designed and decorated. It was a joy to live it for a few days.

gjniven247

A perfect cottage for two people to escape to. Great facilities in a perfect location and If you want to put on half a stone, visit the Blacksmiths Arms, a 5 minute walk away with great food and drink from very friendly hosts. Lastingham is a superb location to explore the Moors and this cottage is the place to do it from.

July 2013

this was our 2nd stay in Beckside. we had 1 week last year but booked 3 weeks this time and it was just as great. we did loads of travelling but always felt at home once back in the cottage. the time went too quickly but we have a week next year to look forward to now. Cannot fault anything. as well as all the amenities in the cottage there is also the use of the owners washing machine & dryer. Robyn & Alan are the perfect hosts. Thank you so very much for everything. The village is small & unspolit with friendly residents and the most wonderful pub. No mobile phone signal though anywhere in the village. not a problem for us though.but there is wi fi in the cottage. look forward to our return.

June 2013

The cottage is in an excellent location. It was quiet, warm and comfortable with access to nice walks. The Blacksmiths Arms provided good food at fair prices within walking distance. We hope to return.

Ms Wadsworth

May 2013

Great location for both the coast and York and Leeds, quiet, restful. Had WIFI!

Ms Whitaker

We stayed here for a week and cannot fault the cottage. It is well equipped clean and comfortable. The owners are so accommodating and very welcoming. They have equipped it to a very high standard and obviously want to do the very best for their guests. We felt so at home there. In fact we really did not want to leave. The village and it's residents are very friendly. The location is good for travelling around the Moors and to York, Whitby, Scarborough and many more places of beauty and interest.

Guest

The cottage is clean, nicely decorated and well-equipped. I have fond memories of morning coffee sitting on the bench overlooking the stream listening to birdsong. The cottage is in a superb location with moorland walks on the doorstep and a friendly village pub serving fine food.

Ms Wynn

January 2012

We enjoyed the peace and quiet of the location and the comfortable cottage. It was very relaxing, just what we needed!

From the moment we were welcomed by the owner to the moment we left this was the perfect get away from it all break. The cottage was very cosy for a winter break, we could also see it as ideal for those warmer evenings, sitting outside by the beck. Although Lastingham is in a lovely quiet valley the towns of Whitby, Scarborough and Malton are all within easy reach. Walking on the Moors is accessible from the door-step,wonderful countryside to explore in all seasons as long as you are fully prepared; walking boots,etc. are essential. We hope to return in the very near future.

December 2011

Welcomed by the owner who showed us round the cottage and explained where everything was and how to use the fire,water heater etc.It was lovely and warm and a very compact cottage with all we needed.Very small village with no shops and only one pub/restaurant.Had a meal there on two occasions,good food and friendly staff.We wanted a quiet and relaxing break and that's just what we had.Would recommend this cottage to anyone wanting same.

November 2011

The quality and location of the cottage are excellent, perfect for a peaceful getaway but still central to all local attractions. Beautiful walks on the Moors from the doorstep; walking boots are essential

Mr Reeder

July 2011

We liked the seclusion and pretty location.

Mr Stapper

The location of the cottage was superb. A quiet corner of the village, a minute's walk straight on to the moors! The little river running along the cottage, room to sit outside - it really was a home away from home!! The owners are such lovely caring people and you feel they love the place where they live and the cottages they prepare for people to have a great holiday in!

January 2010

I had a wonderful holiday. The cottage was in a beautiful and quiet spot - it was just a short walk from a top notch pub in what is a very pretty and peaceful village. The cottage was just the right size for my husband and I and the owner was very friendly and helpful. We found that the location was ideal as a base for exploring the moors - we found a number of very good walks, including to Rosedale Abbey and Hutton-le-Hole that started from Lastingham. I would love to go back again.

Mrs Pugh

December 2009

The owners welcomed us when we arrived, then left us in peace. That was lovely.

A beautiful cottage, clean & comfortable, a good place to explore the moors. Friendly owner and great food in the village pub.

The cottage was small but nicely appointed in all respects except for the cooking facilities. There was no proper oven and we found the combination microwave difficult to use. [Had we stayed longer we would probably have come to terms with it!]. Location superb. A lovely little village on the edge of the moors. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would use the cottage again.

dbalf01

We thoroughly enjoyed our two weeks here and were very disappointed to discover that this property is about to be taken off the books as the owners are planning to reoccupy it.

silverfox

An ideal quaint spot for walkers and exploration of north yorkshire.Lastingham has a super pub with excellent food, a great old church and also within easy reach of the beautifull east coast,what more do you want.Mr L.G.Wells of Curdridge Near Southampton,Hants.,Our cottage had everything to make it a memorable stay.

The owners were welcoming & friendly.Beckside was a lovely accommodation appointed to a high standard.Lastingham is a quiet village with two pubs.quite a few holiday attractions are nearby.The best the holiday cottage a welcoming retreat after a day out.The worst the factthat there was no convenient shop for morning papers & milk. A lovely&relaxing holiday.

Excellent allround hence the five stars no further comment.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything we needed was in the property. The surrounding area is great for walking and site seeing. Lovely to get away from it all. The village is a few miles from the nearest shops so transport is necessary.

Mr Rollo

August 2008

We loved the whole package. Soothing, relaxing, to go to sleep and wake up in the morning to the sound of the water lapping from the beck - brilliant. We certainly shall be back and we have already spread the word and told all of our friends. Plenty of things to do all within a short distance - who could ask for anything more. Loved the walks - even the ones on the doorstep on to the moors.
