Thank you Karen

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful setting. Lovely welocme, mince pies and mulled wine much appreciated on this freezing cold weekend when temperatures were sub-zero for the whole of our stay. Underfloor heating made us feel so cosy looking out on to the frosty white garden.

Loved all the Christsmas decorations and the spice diffuser made the house smell wonderful. Our 5 year old granddaughter loved the books and the jelly cat sea creatures on her bed.

The house is such a pleasure to stay in, so beautiful, comfrotable and relaxing. The attention to detail and quality furniture make it special and definitely the best cottage we have ever stayed in.

Can’t wait to return in warmer weather when we can explore a bit more of the local area.

Thank you for a memorable pre-Christmas break.

My husband and I stayed for the weekend for our anniversary. Sarah the owner had left prosecco and chocolates, which was a lovely touch. The cottage was extremely clean, the place was so chilled. We had walks to the beach and we had some gorgeous meals at the local pub. We walked into Whitby which was nice, the weather was just perfect. Will definitely be booking for next year. Absolutely 5 star!!

June & August 2022

So good we stayed twice! We stayed at this luxurious cottage in June and again in August.
It is fully equipped to a high standard with a beautiful terrace which has several seating areas where you can relax with a prosecco or two and enjoy a BBQ.
The cottage has everything you could ask for, it is immaculately clean and renovated to a high standard.
Sandsend beach is a 5-minute walk away from the property where you can walk into Whitby.
Thank you for two delightful breaks, we will be booking again!

August 2022

Outstanding!

Without doubt the best cottage I’ve ever stayed in !! The finish is outstanding we can’t wait to go again! The little touches from a cold beer on Arrival to the magazine’s and soft toys left for my daughter made it even more special

August 2022

Had such a lovely stay at this gorgeous cottage. It really is home from home with lovely cosy beds and peaceful surrounds.

Sarah has thought of everything with little extras in every room to make your stay extra special. It really is faultless.

Will recommend to everyone.

August 2022

Wow what a truly amazing time we had at this beautiful holiday cottage.

From stepping into the cottage we were blown away by the exquisite decor and attention to detail throughout. The property has high quality furnishings including cloud like beds and is incredibly well equipped for a real home from home experience.

Sarah the owner was always very prompt at answering any questions or advice and even put out some lovely toys specifically for our daughter to play with.
The garden is a real haven to relax and watch the wildlife and just like the cottage, is immaculately maintained. There is a little waterfall to the side of the cottage and woodland area surrounding it.

The location of the cottage is ideal, just a stones throw from the beautiful Sandsend beach and a short walk to the little village area of Sandsend itself. A walk in the opposite direction takes you into Whitby.

We didn’t want to leave and look forward to returning in the future!

July 2022
Amazing Stay!
We have recently stayed at little beck cottage and it is amazing and has absolutely everything you can think of for a comfortable stay, the decor is beautiful and very homely, we stayed with kids and has games for them etc even down to beech equipment.
From start to finish Sarah looked after us, we will definitely be back 🙂

Beautiful property and a great location!

What a treat! A very comfortable, well equipped property. High end, modern decor with a wonderful outdoor space. Only a few minutes walk to the beach and a nice walk to Whitby or Sandsend which was great for our dog! Excellent communication from Sarah with lots of information about the local area and a quick response to any questions. Sarah also left some lovely welcome gifts which were very much appreciated. We don’t always choose a higher end holiday as it can often be a let down but finally we’ve found one that was worth every penny! Would highly recommend staying at Little Beck.
