Frances

We had a fantastic stay at Sterling House and thoroughly enjoyed our holiday. The location was perfect, and the house was beautifully clean, comfortable, and incredibly well equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. It really felt like a home away from home and would happily return. Thank you for a wonderful holiday!

This is our third visit to Sterling house, the accommodation was perfect for us, it had everything we needed, on arrival the property was spotless. Not far from the beach, cafes and restaurants were brilliant and it was lovely to see the Dolphin had reopened. The owner was easy to contact and gave clear instructions for checking in. I would highly recommend this holiday home it is a real gem in a beautiful setting.

Benjamin

Wonderful property in an excellent location. We had a great time as a family there. Clean and well maintained and all the bits and bobs we needed. We would love to come visit another time. Only slight challenge is parking as there is no designated parking, fortunately we were not there in peak times though so it was manageable. But this did not distract from our time there. Thank you

Our third stay at this lovely property. Sitting at the top of Robin Hoods Bay it's convenient for the main car park, the post office, access to the coastal path and the walk down to the smashing shops, pubs and restaurants in the Bay. The property has everything needed for a great family break especially the wonderful big table for shared meals and family games nights.

Enjoyable stay, in a clean,tidy, well maintained, comfortable and well equipped property

A very comfortable well equipped property in a good situation

Caroline

Sterling House was lovely and perfect for the 6 of us. Spotless, spacious, comfortable, and a great location for walking down to the town centre. It was also excellent value, costing very slightly more than 3 hotels would have!

This was our second stay at this lovely property. A really spacious well presented and well equipped property with comfortable furniture and fittings. The fantastic large dining kitchen worked really well for us with lots of space for family meals and game nights. The stairs from the front door are wide and easy to navigate. The lack of a sea view is more than compensated for by the quality of the property. Although there is no specific parking there's ample parking over the road at Station car park. We have already booked our next visit.

Dominic Charles

A really warm and comfortable stay, all the rooms were well equipped and provided enough room for 6 of us to hang out. It was also a perfect base to explore the bay, Whitby and beyond. The dishwasher and washing machine were well used and appreciated and preparing meals was easy making dining together a real treat. I recommend for any age or length of stay

Had a wonderful time at Sterling's house. we would definitely go back ,beds very comfortable plenty of space for use all with being a group of 8.Great location to travel around or just stay and walk down in to Robin Hood's Bay with the shops, restaurants and go on the beach , parking was better than I thought which we was able to park on the street but there was a car park very close too if not which I was told you can buy a day ticket and you can use it up and down the coast if you like travelling which we do,

Richard

Superb residence! High standard of provision of everything needed for washing cooking cleaning and real comfort! Only minor issue was variable tv aerial reception. The bedrooms and bathrooms were great and the kitchen and dining area spacious and a place you could just be in . In all honesty the living room was underused . So close to the beautiful village and the walking is spectacular.

Lovely place to stay in great location

Lovely property, really comfortable and very clean when we arrived. Very spacious and we loved the big dining table, great for family meals and games nights.

Its a brilliant house and ticks all the boxes. The very small entrance hall is very tight especially when there are thre or four people trying to get their boots off! Thats a very minor point thought. The kitchen is well stocked and easy to navigate round and the heating works a treat when there is a chill in the air. This was our second stay there and we will definitely consider it again for next year.

Claire

Lovely house. Very clean and well equipped. Listing very accurate. Owner called prior to our stay with lots of useful info. Would recommend and would stay again.

Always good.

Lovely place to stay in a great location and friendly owner

We had such a lovely stay at Sterling House! The house is full of tasteful character and has everything you could need for a stay away from home. We were two families with young children and there was plenty of space. The owner accepted our very last minute booking and even gave us early checkinlate departure because we were only there two nights all much appreciated!. The location is great we went down to town and back several times and the kids really enjoyed digging and searching for fossils on the beach, plus fish and chips and ice cream in the village. The hill is a nice workout Thanks for a great holiday!

A great place to stay. We usually stay in Bay Town but this is more accessible. Well kept and presented. Everything we needed for a good stay was there. At half term and school holidays RHB is very busy and parking can be a bit of a nightmare but that doesnt detract from RHB as being a perfect family holiday. Sterling House ticks all the boxes

Andrew

A nice roomy house set in an ideal location in the village. Close to the beach and also cafes, pubs etc. Kitchen equipment plentiful which made it easy to feed 4 adults and 3 children.

Very comfortable. Well equipped. Good communication from owner. Everything you might want or expect in the location.

Lovely flat in a great location at the top of the village. Round the corner from a pub and shop and a stroll downhill to the village itself. The flat was very clean and had great space for our family. Would heartily recommend. RHB itself is a gem of a place, filled with mystery and history. It really captured our imaginations will definitely return to both the village and Sterling House.

A brilliant week spent at Sterling House! Great location & all amenities provided for a perfect family holiday. Good communication with owner too 're access & leaving property. Would definitely go back.

Worked perfectly for us. Generous living space and the first floor bedroom with bathroom on this level was perfect for my elderly parents. Everything needed was in place at Sterling House. Lovely little garden protected from the wind supplied a small sun trap. On street parking was not an issue but maybe in school holidays? Hopefully will be back soon.

A brilliant property, we stayed as two young families and there was plenty of space. House really well equipped, great kitchen area. This is a second and third floor property so the only frustration was cookingdrinking outside was a bit of a mission with plenty of trips up and down the stairs but the garden area itself is lovely with a lot more space than expected. We travelled with four children all under 10 and they are already asking when we can go back to their holiday house. Thanks for the perfect stay, just need the sunshine next time!

We had a very enjoyable and comfortable stay. Would highly recommend

A wonderful house in a good location. We were impressed by how well equipped, spacious, quiet and clean it was. And also that the owner rang us to check we had all the relevant information, as we booked just a couple of days before our stay. It was great being so close to the sea, good walks as well as being just a few minutes from a pub and shop, which had all that we needed for our 5 day stay. Id like to add that we were keen to book with Sykes Cottages as they volunteered and arranged a full refund for a place we booked which had to be cancelled due to lockdown.

Elizabeth

We had a fabulous stay in Sterling House and its in a really good location. Everything that we needed and lots more besides was provided and we'd happily stay again and recommend to others. We loved Robin Hood's Bay!

Richard

Sterling House is an excellent base for exploring the N. Yorks coast. House is very well equipped but bring own hairdryer. A bit of a squeeze for 8 adults sleeping, due to low sloping ceilings on top floor particularly tight for far side of top floor double bed, but lower floor rooms good. We had no noise issues with ground floor or adjoining flats. Parking above average for RHB often close to the property, or could always park just round the corner about 200 yds, then nearer to property early evening or breakfast time. Very good communications with the owner. Overall, very well recomended.

We had a great holiday and Sterling House was a perfect base. The information from the owner for check in made things very easy. There are a lot of stairs in the house, but that didnt bother our holiday at all. Would definitely be back!

Wonderful house, perfect for our 2 young families. Great location in RHB. The house was very clean, comfy beds and lovely bedding towels. Garden really useful with 3 young children. House is actually more spacious than photos suggest. Would 100 recommend.

A lovely place to stay in an ideal spot. House is bright and airy, beds are comfy, and kitchen well equipped. Lovely garden too. Highly recommend!

Michelle

We had a lovely holiday in a beautiful and well equipped house. The views out of the upstairs back bedroom are amazing and the location of the property worked well for us. The fishmonger in the village prepared some excellent treats too.

We had a great stay at Sterling House. It's just the right size for 2 families of four, comfortable and well equipped. Communications with the owner good. Robin Hoods Bay itself is a great place for a holiday it's a beautiful little village to explore, the beach is a 10 minute walk, there are plenty of places to eat and drink, and it never felt too crowded even in August. Recommend pizza at the Cove, beers at the Smugglers, the lovely view from the Victoria beer garden and oysters and prosecco at the Bramblewick. We managed to get free on street parking outside the house fairly often in the late afternoon. Only small gripe is that the tv stations available were very limited and certainly not sky as advertised, although we weren't too bothered by this.

Sheila

The house is lovely, well equipped and well located. We have stayed before. Just one niggle this time, the owner texted on our way up to say one of the showers wasnt working and he was waiting for a plumber and would advise us when it was to be fixed. We heard nothing, and it was an inconvenience for a party of seven. I just wonder how long it has been out of action? A shame that a small but impactful detail was not attended to.

Robin Hoods Bay is a fun place to be and the house is in an exception situation to make the most of the town and the surrounding area.

Angela

Great venue for our group of 8 house was spacious, very well equipped with everything you would need. Location perfect. Owner very responsive and very helpful.

Joanne

The cottage is lovely. Incredibly well equipped and well presented. It is furnished to a high standard. We would definately recommend.

Richard

Excellent accommodation very helpful owner.
