About this property

Sandsend - Gardeners Cottage - sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

Gardeners Cottage has undergone a full refurbishment in 2022 and is now under new ownership. No expense has been spared throughout to make this an immaculate sanctuary for your time away. The refurbishment also includes the addition of a new boiler to provide plenty of heating and hot water for the chillier times of year.

The cottage itself has a lovely sitting area with a great flat screen TV for those cosy nights in. Leading off the lounge there is a great kitchen which is well equipped for your stay. It has a lovely dining table by the french windows, which lead out to a small patio where you can enjoy early morning coffee or pre dinner drinks, or just to sit and enjoy the peace!

There is also a downstairs cloakroom next to the stairs which lead to the first floor. Here there are two lovely double bedrooms, both with en suite bathrooms, one with a shower and one with a bath and shower over the bath. Both are lovely rooms with comfortable double beds, great for a comfortable nights sleep.

Set within the stunning grounds of the Saltmoore Estate with some fantastic walks within the grounds and Sandsend beach is just a 15 minute walk away this is a great base to enjoy the lovely East Coast.

**Please note that although the cottages are completely separate from Saltmoore, the hotel itself is currently undergoing a significant refurbishment and is closed until October 2024. Building work will be ongoing through this period on site**

Lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings

Gardeners cottage is a lovely cottage inside and out. Having Saltmoore grounds to walk in was perfect. The sea was a pleasant stroll down the road. Used the Saltmoore restaurant once, a part of it was dog friendly which was good, food ok but very pricey.

Winter break

Had a lovely few days in Gardeners Cottage . Stayed here before & in Jasmine Cottage. Both cottages are very well presented, clean & comfortable. The seating in the lounge could be better so 4 people can view the TV more comfortably. The TV was a bit confusing to get going & viewing is through the Apps. If was fine once we mastered the remote controls. Now the hotel refurbished s almost complete it was much better but some of the walks need a bit of a spruce up ( signposting & the bridge on the lake walk ) Overall we had a great time & wonderful weather. We will definitely be back & highly recommend. I did notice that 2 night breaks are not always available, that’s a shame.

Yorkshire Getaway

Stayed at Gardeners Cottage for a week with family and two dogs. Lovely property. Spacious, very clean and well maintained. Was really a home from home. Although there is a washer/dryer in the property, the addition of a clothes horse would be ideal and also a pair of oven gloves. Hotel was about to open at the end of the week so lots of construction workers nearby but was kept informed if it was to be disruptive to our stay. Had a great week out and about walking with the dogs and some wonderful meals, in Sandsend, would recommend Esbek House and also Sneaton Castle in Whitby. Would definitely rebook.

Didn’t like the hole in selling that was taped over to stop wasps coming out and could not sleep in there with the noise of them all night granted that some one come out to spray them but didn’t stop them and thay was coming out the extra fan in kitchen when was put one one 2 separate days and I was in aware I was renting a property on a bill ding site and the noise for constant all day was not very relaxing As that is why we want to go away to relax and unwind

Lovely cottage, construction work.spoilt views

Loved the cottage, a few cobwebs, shower head could do with a clean. Loved the welcome hamper. This was an alternative cottage offered due to the original one Discovery Cottage being xancelled . Recycling bins were overflowing and the lovely views were spoilt due to ongoing construction work ( diggers, rubble, old mattresses etc) . Would have expected to have been notified about the work and maybe offered a discount at least. Also poor lighting outside at night time was a bit of a hazard. Used our phones. Would not recommend until work around the Hall has been.completed. Would then be happy to revisit.

HEAVEN ON EARTH Relaxing cottage with walking distance to the sea, woods & stately gardens hotel

We visited Gardeners cottage around six months ago, We loved it that much we have been back four times the cottage is clean & tidy check in is super easy staff are a phone call away if needed the cottage is situated in a idyllic peaceful spot within a few minutes walk from some woods and a running beck, theres a beautiful hotel within a few minutes walk with stately gardens and lake the cottage is hidden away the beach is around seven to ten minutes walk or five minutes if you walk the back way through the woods Whitby is a five minute drive if needed Gardeners cottage has all the cooking amenities but if you fancy a walk to sands end you can try the best fish & chips EVER at fish cottage theres also a lovely pub called The hart in the beer is great the food is all home cooked the staff & locals are friendly sands end beach is beautiful i love the vast openness with nothing built up around you the cottage is peaceful with the birds singing and pretty flowers all around i call this place MY HEAVEN ON EARTH I wish i could attach some images to this review to show how beautiful this place is

A lovely cottage

Cleanliness - Overall excellent. Reason for 4 - previous occupants clothes left in wardrobe drawer (has happened on a previous stay too! Room with bath has bacteria under bath tap as black from water/soap build up causing the bacteria build up. Needs a bit of mildew remover. Love The new flooring in the bathroom and all the new decor. Very beautiful, well done! Customer service - I did ask if we might get a bit of a discount as we've been a few times. Was told no. Even 5% would be lovely as repeat visitors. Just think it's good customer relations personally. Comfort - Very comfortable for 3! I sat in the chair by the window as had guests come to visit. Would have preferred a softer seat. Condition - Excellent. Location. Great, but now building work going on a bit messy. Value for money. Good overall as it warrants a higher price tag as it's a very lovely cottage, but as I said above, repeat business maybe get a discount or offers when not in use or when out of season perhaps?

New Year break

We had a 3 night stay for New Year. We liked the position of the cottage but we were disappointed with the facilities. We couldn’t get the TV’s in the bedrooms to work. A hairdryer in 1 bedroom didn’t work. And on New Year’s Eve we didn’t have any hot water. We turned on a switch we believed would be the immersion heater and contacted emergency support. We had cold showers. The next morning the water was hot but the boiler made a loud noise when we turned the thermostat down. We feel the property lacks sufficient crockery for 4 people to make a meal. The cafetière was for 1 person but there is a coffee machine with some pods provided. The hamper provided was a nice touch. The towel rail in the second bathroom worked intermittently. The TV in the lounge is difficult to operate so we used our computer

Cosy property with issues that could and should be fixed

Very cosy and comfortable property. Stale smell on entry as if it had not been occupied for a while needed all windows open. Bathroom floor tiles cracked and need replacing. Given the price of this property you would expect a half decent smart TV rather than one with an apologetic note saying the remote doesn’t really work

Fabulous place near the sea but no extras provided in the cottage

We have stayed at the Raithwaite cottages 3 times this year and love the position they are in near beautiful Sandsend beach but our last stay there on 18th August 2021 there was no welcome pack at all and no toiletries which although this maybe due to covid restrictions we were given earlier in the year and so were disappointed when there was nothing at all.

Fabulous Cottage

We stayed for a week in this cottage and couldn’t fault anything. It is beautifully decorated and comfortable with quality furnishings and fixtures & fittings. The location was perfect for us, great walks into Sandsend and Whitby. Very peaceful, feels like you are in the middle of the countryside but with great facilities on your doorstep. We will defo be back!
