Absolutely beautiful cottage, well equipped, very clean, amazing welcome basket. Sam, the owner, very respectful of your peace. But a lovely, warm person. The location is wonderful as are the sheep. Beautiful calming place. Highly recommended. Won the gold award from Sykes and its easy to see why. Well deserved

A lovely characterful well appointed cottage in a very quiet hamlet - would thoroughly recommend. On arrival Sam had provided - fresh cream scones, a huge carrot cake, Yorkshire loaf cake, cookies, bread, milk, tea bags AND a platter of fresh made sandwiches - such a nice welcome after our journey. Beck Hole is a great base for exploring whether staying local or further afield to the coast and inland. We strolledl up to Mallyan Spout and the hotel beyond in Goathland (excellent food and beer garden). Coast path from Whitby to Robin's Hood s Bay was a highlight too, The pub is less than a minute away and beer was excellent - but it doesn't open after 7.30 and not every day so plan your trip!

Recently stayed here with my husband and 2 young children. We were blown away by the quality and cleanliness of the cottage. The location is wonderful in the enchanting Beck Hole and Goathland is a short walk away, manageable even with children! The cottage would be suitable for couples, all ages, families and anyone who would enjoy a rural location.

Mr Lond, September 2020

Had a fabulous break at the beautiful Quoits Cottage.. The sandwiches and cakes awaiting us on arrival were warmly received and just a couple of lovely highlights of our stay. The cottage had everything you could need and Sam the owner was available if we needed anything. With plenty of walks and beautiful scenery on your doorstep we we highly recommend a stay.

Mrs Vass, February 2020

The owner of the cottage was extremely helpful and kind hearted whilst still respecting our privacy, we will definitely be returning in a couple of years time..

Mr Watts, October 2019

September 2019

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

Mrs Naylor, September 2019

Miss Reynolds, September 2019

Sam at Quoits goes out of her way to make this the most enjoyable, relaxing and special break.. A truly exceptional cottage, location and host.

Samantha T

August 2019

Well... What can I say, looks tiny from the outside, but is infact a very large two bedroom cottage. Samantha our host provided an exceptionally well appointed self catering cottage. Bedding and towels were of good quality, kitchen had all the things needed to make dinner, breakfast or packed lunch. The cottage is immaculate, and as a regular user of self catering accommodation has to be one of the cleanest we've stayed in in the last 10 years. Get a booking placed, you won't regret it!

Mr Fleckney, September 2019

A super holiday cottage in a picture-perfect location.. We enjoyed lots of activities in the area and the proximity of the steam train and welcoming local pub were real bonuses. Many thanks to our superb host for her friendly welcome and attention to detail, assuring us a wonderful holiday.

Mrs Sreeves, August 2019

Lovely cottage in a great location for exploring North Yorkshire, with wonderful hospitality from Sam.. Hope to return again one day.

Mr Kitchen, August 2019

Fourth year visiting Quoits Cottage.. Absolutely brilliant as always. Even rain for the whole week could not dampen our spirits in this wonderful peaceful place. Thanks Sam x

Mrs Greig, June 2019

Beautiful cottage in a wonderful location.. No hesitation in recommending to family and friends.

Mrs Goldsby-west, June 2019

This is our second visit to Quoits Cottage and will not be the last.. The area is very quiet, peaceful and a lovely location. There are plenty of walks from the door. The variety of birds including Woodpeckers in the garden was a bonus. It is a beautiful cottage, the owner could not be more welcoming, never have we stayed anywhere where we were welcomed With a variety of homemade cakes and sandwiches including cream scones! Hope to return soon.

Mr Tucker, June 2019

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.

It was great to arrive for our booking at Quoits Cottage to find that it not only met, but exceeded our expectations.. It is an idyllic location and the cottage was beautifully presented, with a great deal of effort put in to making us welcome. We booked again within hours of returning home, which says it all!

December 2018

This is without doubt one of the best holiday experiences we have had.. It is the first time we have stayed in a cottage and Quoits cottage does not disappoint it is set in Beckhole a small hamlet just a few cottages and a pub The birch hall inn yet not to difficult to visit Whitby or the NYMR at pickering its only 46 minuets to york and Castle Howard well worth a day out recommended. There is plenty of places to eat out in Goathland 5 minuets away or use the local butcher at Slieghts and eat in the cottage which is well appointed. Samantha the owner has the cottage next door, she was brilliant from local knowledge to days out she was very helpful and the welcome pack she left for us on our arrival was just perfect and so thoughtful. We will be booking again for us it is perfect.

September 2018

The cottage was warm, comfortable and spotlessly clean.. Sam, the owner, went the extra mile and beyond to make us feel welcome.

Mrs Newton

August 2018

It wasn't just the expected things.. This cottage has them all!! It was the extra touches given by the owner that made you feel realy welcome and "at home". Also the way the whole booking system works to make it a problem free holiday. We would return in a flash.

Mrs Owusu-kokow

The owner, Sam, is the perfect hostess.. She provided a 5* welcome making sure everything was comfortable for us. We were blessed with good weather and able to walk every day. The car was not used until the day we left. The location of the cottage was very tranquil and we were privileged to see a quoits game outside the cottage. You could not fail to enjoy a stay at this beautiful cottage.

Mr Davis

July 2018

Everything was just above expectations.. The owner is a fantastic, generous, kind lady.

Mrs Owen

The cottage far exceeded all our expectations: beautiful location, spotlessly clean, comfortable bed, well-appointed with everything we needed and more besides.. Sam, the owner, totally amazed us by providing an awesome selection of cakes and sandwiches for our arrival, a really nice touch. Brilliant hospitality! It was certainly one of the best holidays we have ever had

Mr Watkinson

14th/21st July Samantha the owner is the most welcoming we have come across, nothing is to much trouble to this lady.. The cottage was clean, well equipped and just right for relaxing. The goodies on arrival where scrumptious [many thanks Sam] Even the neighbours we met were all very friendly. If im to be picky....the small area for evening sunset and drinks is very small and up steps [ older may struggle] and had overgrown a tad. overall thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Geoff & Trish

Mrs Matthews

June 2018

We had an amazing time at Quoits Cottage which was so quiet and peaceful we were able to relax totally from day one.. The area was excellent for walking with the moors on your doorstep and towns within easy reach should you need them. The Cottage was extremely comfortable and the owner Sam had added some very welcoming touches. We were also introduced to the game of Quoits which is played on the green in front of the cottage. In all we have been self catering for over 30 years and I can honestly say this cottage was one of the best experiences we have had. Jan and John

Mr Knott

A spacious, well designed and equipped cottage, in a beautiful and quiet location.. Sam, the owner, could not have been more considerate and friendly - she is truly amazing. And her welcome treats were unbelievably special. Will always have great memories of our week there and hope to return when next in Yorkshire.

Mrs Greig

Our third visit to Quoits Cottage in three years.. The standard of the accommodation and the welcome from the owners is outstanding. Sam is fully deserving of her ‘Best in Yorkshire ‘ award. The quoits match outside the window that gives the cottage its name just added to the feeling of belonging in this small community. Wonderful moorland walks right on the doorstep cater for all levels of fitness while curlews and lapwings rise from the heather around you. It’s like stepping back to a nicer place in time.

Mrs Holland

The whole holiday was totally amazing, the cottage exceeded all expectations,and Sam the host was so welcoming.. The sandwiches,cakes and sweeties waiting for us was a lovely surprise and was delicious . It's no wonder Quoits cottage won Yorkshire cottage of the year 2017 the attention to detail ,the cleanliness,everything was superb and Sam and husband Andy were lovely .Will certainly return .

Mrs Hawksworth

May 2018

Outstanding cottage with high quality facilities, comfortable king size bed, bedding and towels.. The cottage is very comfortable , cosy but well able to deal with four persons. Owner Sam, exceptionally thoughtful and provided additional touches such as afternoon tea and cakes on arrival and milk in the fridge. The setting is ideal for walks but open to travelling wider afield like Robin Hood’s Bay. Some beautiful walks without the need of the car. In walking distance of the NYMR steam railway Outstanding countryside setting quiet welcoming which leaves you with a real feel good factor and sense of tranquility. A gem of a cottage run by a Yorkshire treasure, Sam!

Mrs Wingate

November 2017

Our third time staying in Quoits cottage, every time we go there have been alterations to enhance the cottage further.. Sam's attention to detail is a credit to her professionalism of running the business, the cottage is comfortable and warm and has all that you need. Location is ideal for walks from the door so the car can be left idle. Well deserved Gold Medal winner Sam & the cottage very well deserved! The best self catering cottage we have ever stayed in and looking forward to our next visit. Mr & Mrs Randell, (Market Harborough)

Just leaving Quoits Cottage, sadly. The cottage is excellent, very well equipped and comfortable. Sam the owner could not have been more helpful and made our stay an experience to be remembered. When we arrived there were home made cakes and chocolates waiting as well as a fridge full of sandwiches and scones, it made you immediately feel at home. The area is very peaceful with a great friendly pub within two minutes walk, a walk we made a few times. If you are looking for a peaceful relaxing break this cottage is a must. Ray & Sheila

malcolmr444

Our first stay at Quoits cottage and it sure will not be the last. Level of service outstanding, area also outstanding and very good for using as a base for walking. Local pub must be fairly unique and only 2 minute walk away. Walk up the old Railway to Goathland or walk the other way to Grosmont. Cottage had everything we needed and wanted. Beck hole is a delightful quiet hamlet where you can feel at peace and recharge the batteries.

Mrs Bales, July 2016
