Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
"We stayed in Broadings Cottage September 2024 and liked it so much we stayed again January 2025."
It's homely and welcoming. Well positioned for popping into Whitby or heading off to further attractions.
Dog friendly, own garden and parking.

"We loved the cottage and would love to go again."
We had a great week. It was a super base for us to explore. We did bring my parents who also enjoyed their stay ( even though my Dad had a fall and my Mum had a terrible experience on the North Yorkshire Railway)
They didn’t manage to see many of the sites as they weren’t wheelchair friendly!
I would be reluctant to book through Sykes though as I found the online experience at times confusing and was unable to talk to someone to help.

"Need new settees had to put cushions on as you sink down on them."
Some of the pillows on bed have stains on them.Steps as you walk in door better than they were but would be better if more stable especially when you not good on your feet.These are not complaints about the property just suggestions. Must be good as booked for next year.Would be good if bus stopped outside site as if you have any shopping you have to get off down the road and dodge the traffic before the site because it's not a proper path.

"We had a fantastic stay at Broadings Cottage, the cottage was perfect for us as a couple and our Labrador."
Main bonus for us was the enclosed garden, a field on site to exercise our dog and only a 30ish minute walk into Whitby.
The cottage is very comfortable, the kitchen seemed to have all you might need - we didn’t ‘cook’ just packed lunches etc. but the cupboards are full of pots and pans, plenty of plates and cutlery. Bed and sofas were comfortable, shower was decent and the whole place clean.
We would visit again a recommend to anyone who is looking for somewhere to stay with their dogs.

"This was our second stay at this particular property."
As before, we found the cottage clean and tidy on our arrival, with a very welcome small pack of goodies atop the microwave oven - thank you.
To be honest, the only grumble we had was two things. Firstly, although there were a small selection of DVD in the cottage to watch in the evening, there was simply no way of plugging the DVD player into the television set!
Secondly, on the third day of our stay, we decided to use the 'Henry' vacuum cleaner to go over all the floors. We found that it would not pick anything up. Close inspection of the bag inside revealed that it was absolutely full to bursting. With no replacement bag on hand, my wife and I spent nearly thirty minutes standing outside at one of the wheelie bins having to carefully extract a mountain of hairs, dist and other debris. Just a small point that perhaps your cleaning team might wish to keep an eye on?
Otherwise, we had a lovely stay at Broadings Cottage and will certainly be visiting again in the future.

"We found the Cottage very comfortable,roomy and quietly private."
It was very clean and we were grateful for the small touches of items provided for our consumption upon our arrival.
We only encountered a couple of minor problems during our stay. The light and shaver point over the wash basin in the bathroom would not work and we reported this to the Caretaker's Number, where we left a voicemail message for them. We also feel there maybe a fault with the DVD Player as we could not get any DVD to play beyond the 1 hour mark, every disc seeming to stop and refuse to play on. That is only a minor issue and we bring it to your attention only and not as a complaint. Nothing detracted from our very enjoyable stay at this quiet location which is extremely handily located for access to Whitby and to local shops. We will definitely be returning for a further stay at Broadings Cottage.
Thankyou so much glad you enjoyed your stay. We are sorry about the issues you encountered we will sort these out

"The accommodation was very good - it reflected the fee we paid."
Every utensil you could wish for was there and all equipment was spotless. HOWEVER, the tv was a disgrace in that the Freeview only showed around 10 channels. We returned it twice but this did nothing. We contacted the telephone number given and were told that there had been a few complaints about this and that she would send someone round, which she did, straight away. The man who called was not a tv engineer and he said "We do not get any more Freeview programmes than this in Yorkshire!" How ridiculous. This really spoilt the holiday because we had to resort to viewing programmes off a small tablet which our grandson had (fortunately) taken with him to play games on. This, of course, caused problems because there were times when we all wanted the tablet. We spoke to the owner too but he said he had not been informed of this problem and agreed that it was not good enough. Please sort this out for following guests. A £20 aerial would probably do the trick. Some sort of refund would be applicable here, don't you think.

The only slight negative for me was the bed was a bit uncomfortable, but was fine for my wife, so that’s a personal choice. The cottage is on a working farm and caravan site but neither is a problem. The views of the NYM from the private enclosed garden are fantastic and if you are fortunate enough to be able to eat outside like us throughout our stay is the icing on the cake. Oh, and the owner, who lives on site is very friendly without intruding, would definitely recommend.

The only gripe we had is we forgot to fasten the gate up at night so when we got up someone had let their dog off on the grass so we had dog mess to clean up wasn,t good as we had taken our 7 yr old granddaughter with us. We didn't want for anything ,even had biscuits waiting for us to enjoy with our cuppa .Would have been nice to have a four slot toaster instead of a two one as electric grill quite slow, also a grab rail or handle would be good in bath for the less mobile.

Broadings Farm Cottages
Resting on the outskirts of the popular resort of Whitby in North Yorkshire is this group of seven charming cottages. Boasting distant sea views as well as views of the iconic abbey, Broading Farm Cottages is a collection of seven properties offering something for everyone. Three of these properties boast a more traditional feel with character features such as wooden beams and brick fireplaces, while the others are much more contemporary with a more minimal style and neutral décor. Six of the seven properties are all on the ground floor, making them suitable for those with mobility issues, while the larger property, Whalebone Cottage is suited to a large family, sleeping eight guests. The properties lie just a mile from the centre of Whitby, where you can wander its winding cobbled streets and hidden alleys, discovering a wide selection of eateries, gift shops, restaurants, and pubs scattered amongst them. Take a walk along the beach and stop off to enjoy some delicious fish and chips, or go for a swim on a warmer day. Climb the iconic 199 steps to Whitby Abbey and take in the picturesque coastal views from the top. Learn more about the history of the town by visiting the Captain Cook Memorial Museum, and hop on a boat out to sea to enjoy whale watching. Within a short drive are the resorts of Robin Hood's Bay and Scarborough, each boasting wonderful beaches, walking trails, and a plethora of attractions to see, while the magnificent North York National Park is within easy reach, boasting rugged moorland and lush rolling landscapes, ideal for walkers and cyclists. Broadings Farm Cottages are well placed for discovering the best of the coast and countryside of North Yorkshire.

WHITBY
Robin Hood's Bay 5.5 miles; Scarborough 19.3 miles; Pickering 23 miles; Guisborough 21.5 miles.
The seaside town and port of Whitby lies at the mouth of the River Esk in the Scarborough district of North Yorkshire. Ideally situated for exploring this beautiful part of Yorkshire, the local area hosts an array of activities so you can be sure to get the best out of both the countryside and the coast. From the nearby North York Moors to its Blue Flag beaches, there's something here for everyone. Amongst its many attractions, Whitby holds a charming atmosphere, home to winding streets and hidden alleys, where you can find a wide selection of eateries and shops scattered amongst them. Take a trip to the picturesque harbour and lighthouse to watch the sun set or get involved in some whale watching or a coastal cruise to watch the creatures up close. Climb the famous 199 steps to the Whitby Abbey to immerse yourself with history, or visit the Captain Cook Memorial Museum presenting historical and ethnographic exhibition about Cook himself. Close to the Robin Hood's Bay, rich in heritage, wonders and scenic spots, and in easy reach of the bustling towns of Scarborough and Middlesbrough, Whitby is a prime location for exploring all of the delights that Yorkshire has to offer.
