Castle View Cabin near Cloughton is a must visit holiday destination.
My son (22) and I had a 1 week stay there in June 2021. The cabin is actually located on a farm, down a short farm track off the village road. There are some fields used for camping and there is also a holiday cottage on site. I must firstly thank James (the owner) who is second to none as far as Iâm concerned when it comes to points of contact for your holiday. James lives in the farm house adjacent to the cabin and is the most friendly and genuine local chap you could wish to meet. He came over and introduced himself when we arrived and said if we needed anything at all just to tap on the farm house door or phone him at any time during our stay. He is full of local knowledge and has a wealth of information on things to see and do and places to visit. The cabin itself is very thoughtfully laid out with a Lounge, a Kitchen, 2 bedrooms (1 double and a single) and a shower room. It has gas fired central heating and also a modern electric fire (I guess real cozy for those winter hols with long dark nights) Obviously we didnât have cause to use the heating as we holidayed in June but great to see itâs there when required. The good thing we found was the plentiful supply of hot water both in the shower and also for washing up. There is a window in the shower that has a view out over the field towards the wood and is great to gaze out of whilst taking a shower ! The kitchen itself is very well appointed with a full size gas oven and ample crockery and cutlery. There are also all the kitchen utensils you could wish for and more ! In fact itâs the most utensils I have ever seen in a holiday home ever (and weâve stopped in loads over the years) The beds are very comfortable and both bedrooms come with ample storage for a week away. It is so peaceful to lie back and all you can hear is the wildlife. The dawn chorus sounds amazing and itâs such a beautiful location to wake up in every morning. There is a smart TV in the lounge with access to all Freeview channels and YouTube etc etc. The WiFi connectivity is excellent and was great for us to connect our phones, laptop and iPad. The view from the cabin is a real unique feature and is truly stunning. It looks out over the rolling fields towards the coast and beyond to Scarborough Castle, then Filey Brig and right in the distance youâll see Flamborough. Itâs well worth taking a pair of binoculars. We spent ages looking out to sea and along the coast. The cliffs at Flamborough look especially amazing ! The other thing that looks great out of the window is the wildlife. There are numerous birds of all sizes. We also saw a pair of young foxes playing in the field one evening and the next evening saw a pair of baggers playing. We also saw some deer in the field on a number of occasions. The grounds around the farm are great to explore. Obviously the main farmhouse and associated buildings are out of bounds as these are Jamesâs private areas as is the main yard at the end of the drive. We went on a few walks out from the farm itself as there are public footpaths in most directions. The short walk down to Hayburn Wyke Waterfall is really good to get your bearings and get down to the coast. From here you can also pick up the Cinder Path to Scarborough in one direction and Whitby in the other. Itâs a disused railway route and a real easy walk or cycle with wonderful scenery. The other great thing here is youâve got the Hayburn Wyke Inn to have a cheeky beer or two. We had Evening meal there a couple of times too and the food and beer is excellent. The other pub local to the cabin is The Bryherstones Country Inn and that also serves excellent food and beer. All in all Castle View Cabin is a beautiful place to spend a week away. We found it very competitively priced and was great value too. Iâd like to sign off now with a big thank you to James for helping have a most enjoyable holiday. Best Wishes, Mark & Alex - June 2021

1). We found the property to be dirty and damaged on the outside and it hadnât been cleaned properly on the inside with cobwebs, dead insects, dirty, sticky kitchen stools and dirty carpets.
2). The kitchen area had a stained sink, dirt around the hob, sticky food on the side of the fridge and on the floor. The pizza tray is rusty and the oven tray is dirty. Cupboard handles are sticky, cupboard fronts are stained and we found rodent droppings under the sink. 3), The shower head is filthy and doesnât stay on the wall of the shower. The WC pan is stained as is the drain in the sink. 4). The pillows are stained. The owner replaced them at our request and the replacements were stained too. The TV in the bedroom doesnât work and the TV in the living room doesnât receive any BBC channels. 5). The property is described by Sykes as ârecently refurbishedâ. There is no evidence of this. 6). Sykes Customer Services have been particularly unhelpful in dealing with our complaints. We have provided them with photos of the property and they have taken no responsibility for the condition of the property even though we booked it having read the description on their website. They say that the property owner.is responsible for the property being clean, equipped as described and suitable for rental and not them. 7). We found the owner to be well meaning and he did try to deal with some issues. He was helpful in returning some items of clothing that weâd left in the cabin and for that, we are grateful. 8). However, we cannot recommend this property. We abandoned our visit after two nights, having booked the cabin for a week. Weâve booked many cottages with Sykes over quite a number of years. If they are happy to offer properties in this condition, then we will be very reluctant to book again with them. They have totally ignored the photographic evidence we have submitted to them and have simply relied on what the owner has told them. They rely on what is written in their âsmall printâ to attempt to evade any responsibility for the marketing of this property even though renters are totally reliant on them describing properties accurately. Renters are not provided with the contact details of the owners when booking a property so cannot contact an owner for up to date information about a property before making a booking. Youâre only provided with the location details when youâve paid the rental in full and with no facility for a refund if the property has been described inaccurately. Weâll be interested to see whether Sykes Cottages publish this review in full on their website. We have photographs that support each of the comments weâve made in this review.

We recently stayed at Castle View Cabin and the cabin is situated in beautiful surroundings.
Unspoilt views of the National Park & the sea views across the field were breathtaking. It was a peaceful spot that was ideal for accessing Scarborough & Whitby alike & there were some great places nearby to visit. The Hayburn Wyke Waterfall was incredible & a wonderful spot to have something to eat at the nearby pub. We also highly recommend Bryherstones, a great place to eat with excellent home cooked food & warm hospitality. The Cabin itself we unfortunately found to be unclean so we ended up having to clean it ourselves to make it more comfortable. The doorways into the bedroom & bathroom were very narrow but there was warning of this on the website. We found the bedroom smelt of damp & the bedding didnât smell clean, the same with the towels. The bed itself was very comfortable but we couldnât really rest as the smell of damp was so strong. The shower was lovely and powerful however. The hallway floor was dirty & the doormat was unclean to the point we had to move it out of the way to avoid standing on it. The kitchen floor was dirty when we arrived; crumbs scattered about & we had to clean the cupboards before putting our food away as they too were dirty. We couldnât use the kettle or toaster as the kettle was filled with limescale & the toaster was full of crumbs. There was no bin bag in the bathroom bin & no spare bin bags for us to use which meant having to put bathroom rubbish into the kitchen bin to dispose of at the end of our stay. There were dead insects all through the cabin; on the window ledges & in webs across the ceilings. The outdoor area was wonderful, a great spot for star gazing. However the bench at the top of the steps isnât safe for use as it is broken. This could be a lovely retreat as the location is wonderful. However the cabin really does need a deep clean & improving to maximise its potential. The owner did leave a bottle of wine & milk in the fridge which we were grateful for but sadly wonât be returning. We really hope this property is improved on for people to enjoy the wonderful surroundings in the future.

The caravan itself is very nice however the following let our stay down 1) We arrived late on the Friday and went straight out shopping.
Upon returning during unpacking we realised the caravan had not been cleaned. Towels on floor, bedding stained, bathroom dirty and generally dirty. It was too late to report to Sykes. We ended up sleeping on fleeces and in our clothes. Not what you expect when paying over £700!!! We were compensated but that's not the point. The next day when the cleaner arrived she admitted to missing it on the Friday!!! 2) On the Tuesday the main TV free view stopped working saying no signal. The owner did send instructions which didn't work and then the site manager came round, to try and fix it to no joy. The owner arranged for someone called Billy to ring us, however as it was 9.30pm I didn't answer. He sent me a message asking to turn off at mains and leave off overnight. I was to ring him the next day however I didn't due to my next point. 3) There is a very busy main road near the site and the caravan is very close to it. The caravan is noisy even through the night. I am partially deaf and I could still hear it!! I would like to say though that the owner did everything she could to help us. However I would not return.

Absolutely fabulous stay.
The weather wasn't pleasant, but it made no difference. Clean, warm and cosy, with beautiful views, the perfect place to relax and forget about the daily grind. We loved everything, from the two gorgeous Highland Bulls in the adjacent field to the gorgeous cats and kittens that liked to peer through the door window for treats. Breakfast, sat overlooking the rolling fields to the sea beyond was a delight, the kitchen had everything you need, including a welcome bottle of wine, a lovely touch. James, the owner, is a lovely guy. He lives in the adjacent farmhouse and is at the end of a phone if you need anything. We dined twice at The Blacksmiths Arms, a 5-minute drive away, and the service, atmosphere and food were fantastic, highly recommended. Only one note of caution. If you fancy getting a Chinese takeaway, avoid Morrido like the plague. How it is rated so highly is beyond me. The place was filthy and having got back with a £27 banquet, the whole lot ended up straight in the bin. Greasy, gloopy, just horrible.
