Guests say
Guests consistently praise Foulsyke Farm Bungalow for its spotless condition, home comforts, and fantastic location with easy coastal access. The welcoming hosts, Darrin and Vicky, are commended for their friendliness and helpfulness. The presence of farm animals adds charm, and the property's amenities contribute to a comfortable and memorable stay. While most feedback is overwhelmingly positive, one review mentions discomfort with the beds and cleanliness in the bathroom, but this is an outlier.
The majority of reviews highlight the bungalow's immaculate cleanliness, with numerous guests describing it as spotless. One review, however, noted dust and fluff in the bathroom, slightly impacting the overall score.
The location is frequently praised for its proximity to the coast, scenic walks, and local attractions. The ease of access to various coastal resorts and the peaceful setting contribute to a high score, with no negative comments on location.
Comfort is a strong point, with guests finding the bungalow well-equipped and cosy, especially noting the comfortable furnishings and warm atmosphere. A single review mentioning uncomfortable beds slightly lowers the score.
Facilities are consistently described as excellent, with the bungalow being well-equipped and maintained. The presence of a welcome pack and the availability of a secure garden for pets are noted. One suggestion for conservatory blinds due to heat is the only minor critique.
The hosts' thoughtfulness is evident through mentions of welcome packs and their readiness to assist guests. It should be noted that while such gifts are appreciated, they are a gracious gesture and not a guaranteed amenity.
About this property
Foulsyke Farm Bungalow is a two-bedroom bungalow in Loftus, North Yorkshire and is idyllic for a family or group of friends to get away from it all. The house is decorated with a contemporary touch, and has all the features you would expect, and enjoys views of the rolling hills. Park up on the private driveway before entering your holiday home into the spacious, white-glossy kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with all the appliances you need to make your favourite meals, from an electric oven, a hob, a microwave, a fridge, a freezer, a washing machine, and a dishwasher. Enjoy mealtimes in the conservatory, home to a dining table for four, to soak up the natural light and in the evening, gather in the sitting room to unwind, and maybe even enjoy a toast to your getaway. Afterwards, move over to the sofa and admire the greenery through the large windows as the Smart TV plays a family favourite. Make the most of the summer months in the large, wraparound garden; here you can relax with a glass of wine and watch the sunset. As day draws to night, venture inside, where on the ground-floor there are two bedrooms, with a king-size and a twin, both with Smart TVs. Awaken tired eyes with a soothing soak in the fully tiled bathroom or opt for a rinse in the shower. A public footpath runs beside the farm, leading to The Cleveland Way, which is less than a mile away. The farm walk meets the Cleveland Way at the top of some of the highest cliffs on the east coast, offering views to the north towards Saltburn and south towards Staithes.
However, before reaching the cliffs, you will walk past Street House Farm, where archaeologists uncovered a 3300BC Neolithic long cairn. The Saxon Princess bed burial is one of only a dozen known in the UK, and likely the most northern, as the majority are on the south coast. Spectacular artefacts, including gold set scallop shaped gemstones, were discovered buried with the princess and are now on permanent exhibit at the neighbouring Kirkleatham Museum. There are 22 acres to explore with goats, pigs, chickens, and horses, as well as plenty of outdoor room for kids to run about in. The village of Loftus is home to the Land of Iron at Cleveland Ironstone Mining Museum; there are also several cafes and restaurants to fuel your day. This lovely property is ideally located within a charming village with an independent book shop, cafés, bakeries and a gin bar which is popular with tourists and locals alike. Be sure to stop at the local farm shop for some homemade cakes and pies, or dine out at The Tiger Inn, a popular choice with excellent reviews. Enjoy a trip to the seaside with a choice of beautiful beaches in the area including Staithes, Runswick Bay and Port Mulgrave, which is known for its fossil hunting and also has a large fossil at the National History museum. Also within easy reach is the North York Moors and Coast National Park which can take you to the Esk Valley for Goathland, affectionately known as Heartbeat country. Why not travel over the moors and into the picture-perfect market towns of Helmsley, Pickering, and Malton for a day of shopping, or for the thrill-seekers, make your way to to Yorkshire's ultimate theme park, Flamingo Land, which is just 30 miles away and home to an award-winning zoo, perfect for animal lovers too! Foulsyke Farm Bungalow is a stylish abode, perfect for your next staycation. Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 1021276, together sleeping up to 10 guests.

Comfort and cleanliness exemplary. Close to all the major attractions. Would definitely book it again if staying in the same area.

In an ideal spot just outside Loftus village. Sits on the road between Whitby and Redcar so you can go on either direction to visit the iconic seaside towns along the way. We particularly liked Saltburn although the tram is being restored currently. Would def use Foulsyke again if in the area.

The cottage is well laid out. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom is a good size. The kitchen is spotless and has everything you need. We loved the garden; very secure for our chihuahua and we loved the outdoor seating. The conservatory is a great space to enjoy a meal or play a board game. The farm itself is very quaint- we enjoyed meeting the goats, pigs and chickens. Thanks for a wonderful holiday. Weâre sure to return soon!
