Visitor Reviews of Captain Cooks Haven

Raj
Date of stay: 21st April 2025
We had such a lovely stay at this place. The setting is stunning and very private, which we really appreciated. The owners are super friendly and always there if you need anything, but they respect your space. The hot tub was a real highlight after a long day out cycling. Just a heads up, the cottage sits directly under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of noise from the planes. It didnt bother us after a while, but if youre sensitive to noise, its worth knowing. Overall, wed definitely come back!

We really enjoyed our stay at this cosy little cabin, perfect for a quiet getaway. The private setting with the enclosed garden and beautiful views made it feel special. Just a heads up, theres no shop or restaurant on site, so bring your supplies. The walk into Whitby along the old railway line is lovely if youre up for it, but driving is quick too. Nearby Perrys garden centre in Sleights is worth a visit, especially the cafe by the river. Overall, a lovely spot for a peaceful break!

We had a really lovely time staying here! Sharon and Robert were fantastic hosts and made us feel right at home. The place was spotlessly clean, cosy and perfect for Archie with plenty of secure space. The location was ideal - loads of nice walks and exploring nearby villages like Thaxted. We definitely left feeling refreshed and relaxed. Its a great spot for a peaceful break, definitely recommended!

We loved the seclusion of Cook's Cabin, nestled alone among the other brick buildings. It's simple but cosy, perfect for a quiet escape. Definitely somewhere we'd return to for a peaceful break!

We stayed at Marton Cottage for four nights and really enjoyed it. The place was spotless and had everything we needed, even with Covid restrictions in place. The balcony offering views of the river and the North Yorks steam trains was just lovely - such a bonus! Its also perfect for walking or cycling along the old railway line from Whitby to Robin Hoods Bay. Would definitely recommend it, though we didnt try the restaurant.

We spent a lovely weekend at this cottage, which is tucked away on a working farm but still feels really private. The owners, Robert and Sharon, are genuinely lovely and welcoming. The place itself is so spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen and a comfy bed that made sleeping easy. The garden is perfect for dogs-completely enclosed-and has nice furniture to relax on. There are plenty of lovely walks nearby and Thaxted has some great restaurants like The Star and The Maypole. Wed definitely recommend it!

We needed a quick escape for the dog and this place was just right. Lovely scenery, close to great pubs and plenty of space for walks. Honestly, the dog didnt want to leave at all!
Alex
Date of stay: 29th October 2024
We had a fantastic stay at this cosy little cottage. Honestly, we didnt need to bring a thing because its so well stocked. The welcome pack was really thoughtful, with all the info and menus - saved us so much hassle. The enclosed garden was perfect for our dogs, who loved running around. The hot tub was just what we needed after long days out. Sharon and RobeRead were quick to reply whenever we had questions. Thanks for a lovely break - well definitely be coming back!

We had a lovely stay at this cozy cottage. The kitchen may be a bit compact, but its really well stocked with everything we needed. The furnishings are a little worn, but super clean and tidy, which is what matters most. The bathroom looks fairly new, with a nice shower over the bath. The downstairs loo is small, so might not suit everyone, especially those with mobility issues. Heating and cold water were straightforward to operate and the induction hob came with clear instructions. All in all, a great little place!
Helen
Date of stay: 3rd September 2024
Lovely cottage. The kitchen is small but well equipped. The furnishings are used but clean and tidy. The bathroom has a shower over the bath and appears to be newly installed. The downstairs loo is small and might be an issue for people with mobility problems. The heating and cold water was simple to use. The hob is induction but there are clear instructions given in a manual located inside the cottage. There is also a number on your site map for additional help.

Overall, we had a decent stay. The cottage was comfy and the beds were really nice, though a bit noisy sometimes. The main issue was the seating downstairs - only enough for four people, even though five of us stayed. Also, there werent enough sockets in the rooms, with just one per bedroom and nowhere near the seating areas. Still, it wasnt too bad!
Georgina
Date of stay: 9th August 2024
The property we stayed in was okay, but the seating arrangements downstairs didnt match the sleeping capacity - 5 of us comfortably slept in the cottage but on an evening, the sofas only comfortably sat 4. Distinct lack of sockets in all the rooms, too - only 1 per bedroom and none near the table or seating areas. Single beds a little noisy, but very comfortable.
Laura
Date of stay: 22nd July 2024
We recently stayed in Cottage 37 and overall, it was a pretty decent experience. The place was spotlessly clean and obviously well cared for, which we appreciated. The only minor issue on the cleanliness side was the shower curtain in the upstairs bathroom - it could definitely do with being replaced and the sealant around the bath is starting to look a bit mouldy, so that might need some attention soon. It made us smile to see all the sheets marked with the cottage number in permanent marker - quirky little detail! The fitted sheet in the master bedroom was a bit small for the mattress, constantly pinging off the corners, so maybe a bigger one would help. We also found the hanging space a little limited; a few extra coat hangers would have been useful, especially since there was still plenty of room in the wardrobe. An ironing board would be a handy addition too, especially for longer stays. Inside the kitchen, there's a folder with instructions for the appliances. Some of them, particularly the induction hob, could do with clearer guidance - once you get the hang of them, theyre quite straightforward. Also, itd be helpful to know when the hot water booster kicks in in the mornings. Initially, the WiFi was a nightmare - wouldnt load anything - but after restarting the router, it surprisingly worked much better than expected, letting us browse social media and surf the web without issue. All in all, a nice place with just a few tweaks that could make it even better!

Really enjoyed our stay here. The cottages layout and views were lovely and its well equipped and cosy. Only downside was the parking bays - wish they were a bit larger!

We stayed at this cosy little cottage in a quiet holiday village and loved the stunning views. Its perfect for a relaxing break, though do remember to stock up beforehand since theres no shop on-site. The hilly terrain might be tricky for some, but overall, a lovely spot!

We stayed at this place recently and honestly, its a gem. The house is super well equipped and kept us warm even on the drizzly December days. The bath was lovely and the shower was great too! The location is perfect if youve got noise-sensitive dogs, being in the middle of nowhere. And dont worry about the planes - they didnt bother us at all. Thanks a lot!
