Wayside Cottage Reviews

The property was fantastic. Really clean and comfortable, the outside space was lovely and the hot tub was perfect. The cottage was spacious and well equipped and it was really nice to be surrounded by the fields. The caravan in the garden was also a lovely touch.
Jeff Lok Wah
We loved our time at Wayside Cottage. Big, bright and airy! Very clean throughout, plenty of parking, plenty of towels and fully equipped kitchen. It had wonderful views and lovely and quiet in the evenings. We didn't get to use the hot tub due to our busy schedule but an added bonus to the property.
Nathan
Another amazing visit to Wayside cottage. We have been a few times now, the reasons being it ticks all the boxes. Mike has always been helpful should any queries arise. Nice, secluded location. Comfortable and clean environment, hot tub! Its in an ideal location for visits to York or the surrounding areas towards the coast or moors.
Overall it was a lovely place. But had to clean all the dishes before we could use them. The oven smells when you use it and smoked from the fat that hadn't been cleaned from the previous people. The towels are past their best. The shower runs warm but then goes cold. But it is a lovely place. The shepherds hut is beautiful. On the whole it's a great stay and we never wanted to give any negative feedback
Wonderful place to stay, very home away from home, relatively comfy and lots of facilities to make life easier whilst away from home. Also on a good travel route
Nathan
As always, a great stay in a cottage that has everything we could need.
Stephen
Very nice property well looked after. The property was spacious and close to Pocklington and York.There was an added bonus of the pub and restaurant being very close as well as other eateries being just down the road.We also enjoyed a walk down the nearby canal. The beds were very comfortable,maybe an additional shower in the on suite would be beneficial. All in all a great stay.
A really nice homely cottage, a little tired in places but this certainly didn't stop us having a great time. Cottage entrance is on a busy main road and could have been better marked especially in the dark. Hot tub was a real luxury.
This is the third time weve stayed at this cottage and once again it was great. It is spacious and spotlessly clean. We love the fluffy towels provided for use with the hot tub. It has a new hot tub & We had a small issue with the controls but one call to the owner and he was straight round to sort it for us. Mike is so helpful and is on hand if you need anything. We will definitely be back soon.
Lovely property and host. Very warm and comfy house. Hot tub was the best one wev ever used. Lots of clean towels. Beds lovely and comfy nice new bedding. Kitchen everything you need a dish cloth might be helpful along with the sponge provided. Also think it would be a nice touch to have cooking oil, salt and pepper in the cupboard. Stair gate and baby high chair were great. I think a welcome book with WiFi, hot tub instructions, local pub restaurant open close times number and a little tourist info would be beneficial to others. The host was amazing and came and found us when we got lost and brought us back to the property. Thanks so much.
Property owner contacted us before we arrived to give directions and had stuck a balloon on a stick at the entrance to the drive so we could easily find it. Very helpful as it was off a busy A road.
Loved our stay at Wayside, just wish we had stayed longer, clean & comfortable, ... Loved our stay at Wayside, just wish we had stayed longer, clean & comfortable, everything we could possibly need, all instructions clear, great hot tub feature, lovely area, great local pub we had a walk to with such lovely welcoming staff, everything was perfect, we will be back x
We loved the hot tub and the facilities at the cottage. The main road was quite noisy at times although it didnt affect much when inside the property it was noisy outside. It was a good location to allow opportunity to visit the seaside and York
Natalie
This is a lovely place & we had a fabulous catch up there. We will hopefully be returning. Pro's location lovely & quiet. Spacious, clean and plenty of household items to cook clean with. Hot tub was a The Shepherds hut is cute & the rabbits are fun to watch. Cons Signposting to the driveway from the busy dual carriageway massively needs attention. There were balloons there but the treeshedges need trimming & a larger sign is needed to make the turn more viable. We stayed on the windiest weekend for a while meaning the water in the hot tub was constantly getting cooled so it struggled to maintain temperature. An extension to the french providing a wind block would be very welcomed. Other places we stayed had a welcome pack with guides, instructions etc in there. I have only just found the Welcome email in my spam folder so we didn't know about the bed linen instructions. The above is for feedback only to make the cottage amazing we would return.
Carole
Had a wonderful stay at Wayside Cottage. We wanted to get the family together for a relaxing holiday and some sightseeing and Wayside ticked all the boxes. Its spacious and has the added bonus of a ground floor bedroom with bathroom next to it so was ideal for my daughter, son in law and their 3 year old. The Hot tub was used every evening by three of our group and was definitely a hit and the towels a nice touch. Its all in the description and it didnt disappoint. Even the sideboard drawer in the dining room had a nice selection of leaflets things to do etc. Finally a big thank you to the owner for spotting the set of keys that got left behind and forwarding them on. Would definitely recommend.
Rebecca
4th visit to Wayside Cottage. Amazing value for money. Always spotless, plenty of towels and linen. Love the hot tub. Location is perfect too. Definitely recommend.
Stayed here for February half term, initial thoughts were its very specious. Slightly quirky layout, the main bedroom is not the room with the ensuite, but all rooms were large and it was great to see the hot tub, warmed up ready for us when we arrived.
Pamela
This is a lovely spacious house, which is well equipped and very comfortable. The hot tub was great and the children loved the gypsy caravan. This was our second visit, and had a lovely weekend.
Kathryn
The place was really lovely thank you
Tiffany
Me and my good friend of 20 years spent the weekend at Wayside cottage to celebrate our milestone. It was lovely. The cottage is in such a beautiful location with good transport links. The cottage itself is cute and quirky and we had everything we needed. We didn't want to leave! We are already talking about returning!
Graham
Fantastic holiday home in a perfect location. Very clean and well equipped throughout. Truly a home from home. Highly recommended to all and the hot tub is just amazing. Thank you for a wonderful weeks stay.
Our third visit to Wayside cottage! We love it here! The cottage is spotlessly clean. Facilities are brilliant absolutely everything you could possibly need. We really feel it is a home from home. Beautiful land around the cottage. My Son even got a little tour around the farm to see the animals with the farmer and he was absolutely thrilled. Thank you for another great holiday
The whole family had an awesome stay at the wayside cottage, the location was great to commute to all the places of interest in Yorkshire and the house itself was lovely with amazing facilities. We wouldn't hesitate to book again.
Fabulous cottage, very private & spotlessly clean. Fantastic facilities, everything you need. Ive knocked my review down by one point because the beds are described as 1x super King and 2 x King, whereas they are actually 1x king and 2x double, so not quite as described & not what we were expecting. However, that did not distract from the beautiful setting and our fab stay. Excellent place to stay and fantastic service support from Mike, the owner.
Beautiful cottage, beautiful location, nice and clean. Lots of places to visit around lovely hot tub, a little road noise but not too bad later at night very relaxing stay
Wayside Cottage is a fantastic property. The pictures dont do the space justice! It is spacious, clean, comfortable and the hot tub is fantastic. I would absolutely recommend Wayside Cottage.
Rachel
Lovely cottage. Great location for a visit in York. Our children, especially loved seeing all of the wild rabbits in the adjoining field. Will definitely be returning.
Melenie
Another excellent relaxing stay. Fantastic property that feels like home as soon as you arrive. Great base as well to get around. Beverley and York to name a couple. Lovely to see the rabbits and a wander through the pathway you will get to see the 2 turkeys. We even got to see a deer this time in one of the fields when looking out of the bedroom window. We will be back again to visit this lovely property.
Carole
Lovely clean and cosey cottage thank you
Super Cottage, very well equipped, good price and fairly central for discovering East Riding. Bit of road noise when in the garden but the windows are very effective when in the house. Hot tub was great. Private and secluded grounds with ample parking. Spacious inside. Really enjoyed our stay. Thank You.
The cottage was lovely and homely, perfect for 2 couples and 2 children. The facilities were excellent, clean and tidy and we thoroughly enjoyed relaxing in the Hot Tub and having the added bonus of Netflix. The parking was fantastic and location really good for going places like York and Beverley and National Trusts. Pocklington was nice and near and had plenty of EateriesTakeout's. The Plough Inn at Allerthorpe did a lovely meal and the Chinese Restaurant is within walking distance. We would definitely use Wayside Cottage if we returned to the area again.
Rebecca
This is a fantastic property, great value for money. Everything you could need for a short break, even has a hot tub! Great location for York and Beverley. We love it and will keep coming every year.
Georgina
Stay was amazing, warm and welcoming with everything you need. Beautiful cottage, will definitely be back again. Need to get a bigger sign and balloon as even with directions from our host we drove past....twice Only criticism was we requested twin beds but zip n link hadn't been split but we made do and didn't detract from our stay.
Michelle
A beautiful cottage, extremely comfortable and clean with all the necessary equipment you need. Very much a home from home feeling
Our second visit to Wayside Cottage and it didnt disappoint! Spotlessly clean again and everything we needed was included. Great value for money and a wonderful holiday. Thank you!
2nd New year stay here! We never usually stay in the same place twice but this was our second visit and whilst there booked for our 3rd New year stay! Cottage is lovely and clean spotless in fact, heating is on for arrival which is great!! Plenty of clean towels available!! A proper home from home has everything you could need!! Owners are great, they are there if you need them but just leave you to enjoy your break. thank you for a fantastic weekend we will be back!
Joanne
We were very pleased with the accommodation. Very clean, warm and welcoming. We hope to return.
Gillian
We had a lovely stay . We were very impressed with the cleanliness of the property the only thing it would have been good if there was some recycling bins in the house because it was very cold and icy.It would also have been nice if there was some sort of covering on the hot tub so we could have used it when it was raining .
We loved our stay here. The cottage is well kept, clean and comfortable, a perfect getaway, with everything you need. Our 3 year old grandaughter loved seeing the rabbits and chickens. Definitely recommended!!
Katherine
We had a great long weekend. The house is very large, well equipped and we loved the hot tub.
