Sandsend - Jasmine Cottage

Beautifully presented, dog friendly cottage which has almost everything you would have in your own home. Cottages have private parking & an outside seating area. There are a couple of short walks around the lake and woodland area within the estate - there is a shortcut to Sandsend through the woods & across a field, which was full of cows, so we got a dog friendly taxi instead -£10 to either Sandsend or Whitby. Only one pub open in Sandsend now but plenty of other places fairly nearby to visit, Robin Hoods Bay, Staithes & Falling Foss to name a few. Dozens of pubs & cafes along with a good selection of supermarkets can be found in nearby Whitby. There are building works on the estate which will be nearing completion, probably mid Autumn, however they didn’t bother us at all as the cottages are shielded by trees so very minimal noise. Loved our stay at Jasmine Cottage so much so we booked an extra night. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Jasmine. Cottage The only draw back was 1/ bed mattress was not comfortable hard 2/ no mop or hover to clean up and keep cottage clean 3 no storage for clothes in bedroom to hang up just small set of draws So bedroom was untidy with cloths hung on coat hangers on two walls

My husband and I have just returned from a 4 night break at Jasmine cottage with Stays York. The cottage is beautiful, clean and comfortable. However about the end of April we contacted Stays York as we were concerned regarding a review that said the main Hotel was under construction and it was noisy. When we booked the cottage back in February we were not made aware that work was to be undertaken. A female member of staff at Stays York reassured us that the cottage was some distance from the Hotel and construction and we would not be disturbed by noise. This was a blanten lie. We could hear noise from a pneumatic concrete breaker as the construction site was a few meters from the cottages. When walking the dog we had to walk through the construction site to get in and out . The gardens of the estate are beautiful and the surrounding area is too and we are sure that once the work on the hotel is complete it will be beautiful and to a high standard. We would return but not until all work is completed as this spoilt it for us when we hoped to have a peaceful break.

A lovely cottage with everything you need. The bedroom felt a bit cramped but was adequate. A small gate on the patio would be great so you could leave the doors open if you have a dog. The building work taking place didn’t spoil our stay but we wouldn’t hook again until completed. We would definitely come back & maybe try a different cottage.

The Cottage was fine. Loved the hamper too. Disappointed that the recycling area was opposite our patio and was overflowing. Also unaware of all the construction taking place that spoilt my 60th birthday with my family who were staying at the Gardeners Cottage too. We had originally booked Discovery Cottage so six of us could stay together. This was cancelled at short notice so managed to get the two cottages. Made the best of it but would have expected to have been advised of all Hall and surroundings being renovated ( rubble/ old mattresses on.the walking route etc) would have expected an advice / discount to be offered. Would recommend once all work finished .

Second time visiting Jasmin cottage this year, beautiful cottage perfect location, will be definitely visiting again next year

Positives: Cosy little cottage for two with a dog. The welcome pack was excellent. Quiet and good location for Sandsend and Whitby. Negatives: The bed was rock hard and very uncomfortable; difficult to sleep in. The shower didn’t work, was mainly freezing cold.

The customer service was fantastic from the booking right through to the aftercare. Always very polite, friendly, helpful and efficient. The cottage was in a lovely location on the Raithwaite estate. We were greeted with a lovely bag of treats and essentials to enjoy during our stay, I find personal touches like that really makes a difference to the experience, we are still enjoying the treats now! Well done. The cottage was a 15min walk away to Sandsend (using the roads) and then there is a shortcut, however, it does take you through a field, the day we used it, it was extremely muddy but added to the experience...we just washed our boots and the doggos off in the sea and Sandsend! We found the location perfect; it was quieter than being amid everything, our own little haven with the sound of a babbling stream, we also made good use of the Raithwaite gardens and lake walk right on the doorstep. The cottage was very well equipped with pots/pans/cutlery necessities and everything was to a high standard. We are looking to book our next trip there very soon.

As a dog owner we couldn't ask for more. beautiful cottage, great location and the added bonus of being able to use all of the hotel facilities.

Great cottage within hotel grounds so all the amenities of hotel bar and restaurant fully available….. comfy, cosy and clean cottage with great character and superb base for short walk to delightful Sandsend or the bustier Whitby….!!! Loved it and would stay again…. This time with our four legged family members to make use of the beach so close by….
