Sunnyside cottage is really lovely and super dog friendly we had a lovely comfortable stay and there’s lots to do in Robin Hood Bay. Can’t wait to go back again.
Philippa Pearson, October 2025
My reason for voting for Sunnyside Cottage is because it is located in such a wonderful part of the country. What is unique is that Sunnyside Cottage is catered very much with one's dog in mind as well as the owners, a brilliant idea and very tangible. A real gem. Well done.
Becky Morris, October 2025
The most dog friendly (and human friendly) cottage we’ve ever stayed in. Everything thing we needed and more! Rachel and Baytown Holiday cottages made us feel so welcome even before we got there. 5 stars ++

RHB is the most wonderful location and Sunnyside is the best dog friendly cottage, anywhere. Rachel and Patch go out of the way to make your stay perfect.
Sian Jones, September 2025
Rachel & Patch fly the flag not just for dog friendliness in Robin Hood’s Bay, but also North Yorkshire, and Yorkshire as a whole. Rachel is always striving to make Sunnyside Cottage more and more dog friendly.
Vicky Cooper, September 2025
Really lovely, cosy place. I love that Rachel made a massive fuss of my dog - he was made to feel just as welcome as me. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a proper dog friendly place to go with no silly rules.
Melanie Callaghan, September 2025
Everything for both humans and dogs has been thought of so you can have a wonderful time, a true home from home without carting everything from home with you. As soon as you walk through the door it is super clean and modern with a calm atmosphere and you know you can truly relax after a great day out in the amazing Yorkshire coastline, as everyone gets to snuggle up on the sofa and bed if they wish. It is the best dog friendly cottage I have ever been.
Alice Doran, September 2025
Rachel really goes above and beyond to give dogs and their owners everything they need
Victor Carpio, September 2025
The only place that goes above and beyond. So many small details that add up.

It's by far the best dog friendly place we've stayed in! The dog was the main guest of the stay!
Jem Clay, September 2025
Everything you could need in a dog-friendly cottage is there at Sunnyside Cottage.
We have no hesitation in recommending this cottage for the award.
Neil Pateman, September 2025
Just so much thought was given in making my dogs stay just as special as mine.
Caroline Davy, September 2025
We have stayed here several times ( as well as trying other cottages) and we have to say this is the most dog friendly and for hooman dog owners friendly we have seen. Everything is catered for and nothing is too much trouble, we all love coming here and can’t wait for our next adventure. Here the dogs come first and what more do we want .
Thank you Sunnyside and Patch for making our doggy holiday so stress free ❤️
Paula Dick, September 2025
The most adorable , dog friendly property that we have ever stayed in . Nothing was too much trouble & the facilities for our dog was second to none.
Charlotte Circuit, September 2025
We had the best stay at Sunnyside Cottage a couple of months ago, we couldn’t find a single fault with it! We loved the attention to detail and finishing touches for the dogs, we were made to feel so welcome.
Angela Monaghan, September 2025
We ( and our dog , Banksy ) were made to feel very welcome indeed . Creature comforts provided included treats , dog towels and blankets . A lovely experience .
Janice Thubron Stacey, September 2025
The most friendliest cottage I have ever stayed in, Rachel goes above and beyond to make our pets feel welcome. There is everything you ever need for your dog on his or her holiday. This is always our go to cottage if we can get it as it’s fully booked Because of her hospitality. Rachel well deserves this recognition for her hard work and dedication to our pooches.
Celia Hodges, September 2025
We had such a lovely stay. It was so wonderful to be relaxed with our dog that she had her own robe and so many goodies and toys to play with. I have not stayed anywhere else that has had such amazing dog friendly facilities. Even her own welcome letter! She loved sitting by the log burner after her all
Day walks! Perfect doggy walking area
Joanne Leech, September 2025
Rachel at Sunnyside Cottage was the most welcoming, attentive and caring hostess we could of hoped for. We had to re-arrange to a big loss in our family, and she was so thoughtful and helpful during a really sad time. When we finally got round to attending our booking, we had the best stay, and so did my little dog - who enjoyed his first ever holiday, and was spoiled rotten with his little welcome basket. Would 100% recommend Sunnyside Cottage, not just dog friendly, but dog welcoming with your pooch being at the centre of the owners heart.
Sarah Cartwright, September 2025
Its the best dog friendly place i have stayed
Amber Hughes, September 2025
We had a wonderful few days at Sunnyside Cottage. It was extremely dog friendly and took the pressure out of remembering everything for our dog Ruby. Ruby's welcome pack also went down a treat and the fact she was welcome on all furniture so she could get super cosy was great! The location of the cottage is brilliant, with a only minutes walk to the beach. We made the most out of the beautiful coastal walks and enjoyed every minute of our stay. Rachel and Spencer had the place looking so welcoming and we really did love our stay there. 🐾☺️
Will Murfitt, September 2025
First class stay. Flexibility, understanding and welcoming - all out needs were met. Would highly recommend.
Catherine Dobson, September 2025
I have stayed at Sunnyside Cottage and I couldn’t recommend it enough for dogs and their owners! Not only is it super comfortable and brilliantly located but it puts the dogs at the absolute centre of the stay and is TRULY dog friendly - dogs allowed on beds, sofas etc!
Keri Squibb, September 2025
Rachel goes above and beyond to make the cottage the absolute best for dogs and their owners. From the welcome pack to the anti slip floors and everything in between - there is way too much to list, and it is also in a beautiful dog friendly location. I have never stayed at an accommodation that is so aligned to dogs and their needs, even when they say dogs welcome.
Lucy McGuire, September 2025
Lovely cottage in Robin Hood’s Bay, very memorable stay and would go back in a heartbeat.
Lorren Francis, September 2025
Sunnyside Cottage is a true haven for dog lovers, where pets are welcomed like royalty and humans instantly feel at home. Nestled in the storybook charm of Robin Hood’s Bay, it offers comfort, warmth, and plenty of adventure for the whole family. A stay here is pure joy tail wags, cosy vibes, and unforgettable memories guaranteed.
Jim Jacobs, September 2025
Everything that can be is dog oriented
Emily Thomas, September 2025
It’s just the most dog friendly place I’ve ever stayed, every detail thought of and in a fabulous location.
Vikki Pope, September 2025
Fantastic attention to detail, everything you need for you and your dog!
Rob Jones, September 2025
It’s a charming cottage and a wonderful location which caters for people and their furry friends. So much thought has been put into it allowing people to relax knowing that their dogs are enjoying themselves as much as they are.
Hayley Hilton, September 2025
This is the first place I've known that offers SO many dog friendly options. Because Rachel has built her cottage brand around her own needs for her and Patch, she truly knows what is needed and anted by the dog as well as their owner.
I'd recommend this place in a heartbeat!
Sarah Harker, September 2025
Incredible customer service. Rachel genuinely cares about her four legged guests and ensures their pawrents enjoy a bit of luxury too. It’s not often you stay at dog friendly places where you can tell the owner is truly a dog lover. Can’t wait to stay again.
Hannah Jacobs, September 2025
Incredible cottage, so comfortable and homey - absolutely perfect for a doggy get away due to it’s incredible location so close to the beach and surrounding countryside.
Millie Jacobs, September 2025
The amount of detail she puts into this cottage to make your dog welcome is insane I think you might have to check if humans are welcome. Just kidding I was VERY welcome and comfy in the beautiful cottage. Dog blankets and beds I mean there was even dog bath robes of different sizes for every dog i mean how more dog friendly can you get! AND complementary posh treats eco friendly poo bags. I don’t know how you dogs can be anymore welcome
Niki French, September 2025
We stayed here earlier this year. It’s the most dog-friendly and cosy cottage we’ve ever stayed in
Chris Ashworth, September 2025
We had a lovely stay here. Slowed down. Great location. A really cosy place to enjoy the walks, beach and friendly cafes and pub.
Catherine Wright, September 2025
What can I say… Sunnyside Cottage is the most perfect dog friendly holiday cottage!
There is everything you could possibly need for your pooch, from the most fabulous doggy treats in your welcome package, dog towels, bowls, leads & lovely cosy beds to snooze tired paws on after a long walk on Robin Hood’s Bay beach.
Rachel & Patch thank you!
Michelle Burgess, September 2025
This cottage is created for our dogs to have the best holiday ever. Everything has been thought about so dogs are super comfortable and welcome in Sunnyside Cottage.
Sarah Mills, September 2025
Fantastic dog friendly accommodation where every aspect of comfort for both humans and four legged holiday makers is accommodated for. Highly recommend
Jillian Wadsworth, September 2025
Sunny side cottage is simply perfect for a holiday with your dog. Excellent accommodation and amenities.
Suzanne Hodgson, September 2025
This is Sparky, our terriers, happiest place. It's a place he can curl up where he wants without us stressing over dog hairs on the duvet cover. A place for him and us to hide away where it's quiet and cosy, even in the worst weather. To snuggle
on the sofa after a steak dinner and a walk on the cliffs. Rachel, the cottage owner, has thought of everything - from throws and beds, to treats and the best welcome packages which prioritise the four-legged visitors. It's bliss.
Tom Jacobs, September 2025
It’s just the best, cutest cottage with everything your dog needs plus things you didn’t realise your dog needs!!
Perfect cottage, perfect location perfect home from home
Amanda Couldwell, September 2025
Sunnyside is the loviest dog friendly place. My doggies love being able to stay as close to mummy as possible at all times..in bed, on the furniture, everywhere. All in beautiful robin hoods bay
Susan Allen, September 2025
We have stayed there in the depths of winter and it was just wonderful! Such a cosy cottage, really good walking from the door, lovely village. Very well thought out and definitely dog welcoming.
Katie Gwilt, September 2025
The owner puts so much love and care into making this a top class experience for dogs and their humans
Sue Allen, September 2025
We LOVED our stay here - so much walking to be done from the door and a wonderfully cosy cottage to return to. Felt very welcomed with our dogs and loved the local cafes and pub and the beautiful coastline. A real treat and we would definitely love to return one day!
Kate Hendry, September 2025
Sunnyside is THE most dog friendly dog cottage I’ve ever stayed at! They welcome dogs with open arms and they are treated like a VIP (very important pooches) with loads of goodies for the dogs, they are allowed on the sofas and the beds and they can borrow loads of doggy stuff from the borrow basket.
I will always recommend Sunnyside to anyone looking for the perfect place to stay with their dog!
Kim Price, September 2025
Rachel loves dogs and has a lovely cottage that caters for people with dogs. Just wonderful!
Julia Ravenscroft, September 2025
We love aunnyside. It has the most thoughtful owner who thinks of everything you may need.
Kate Taylor, September 2025
We recently returned to Sunnyside Cottage for our second stay, and it was just as wonderful—if not better—than the first. The cottage is without doubt the most dog-indulgent place we’ve ever stayed.
From welcome hampers and dog robes, to a beautiful dog-friendly beach just minutes from the front door, everything is set up to make both humans and hounds feel completely at home.
The location is perfect for seaside strolls, coastal adventures, and soaking up the welcoming vibe of Robin Hoods Bay.
We can’t wait to go back!
Rachel Boyle, September 2025
Such a unique dog friendly place to stay where dogs are vip guests and not an inconvenience.
Yvonne Livesey, September 2025
I know Rachel the cottage owner very well. Her whole focus is her guests, particularly her four legged ones. She gives 100% to making the stay a beautiful, memorable occasion. No one, no dog, could be anything but amazed at the cottage and all that it contains. Wish I could bottle and sell the happiness guests express after their ‘retreat’ to Sunnyside .
Sally Warbrick, September 2025
Best dog friendly holiday stay ever & Rachel is a gem, nothing is too much trouble!
Heather Stevens, September 2025
Best dog-friendly cottage by a long stretch and right near the seaside and loads of dog-friendly shops and pubs… what’s not to love ❤️
jane atkinson, September 2025
It’s without dog the best dog friendly cottage I’ve been to. So welcoming, great location and the owner goes out of her way to make sure there is everything in the cottage that you need for a great stay. I’ve now been several times
Jo Sellers, September 2025
I was lucky enough to have a long weekend there in early summer. With a partially disabled dog, it was perfect. Raised feeder was there already, throws for the sofa, and literally a few steps from the beach and village but tucked away so peaceful.
Reba was allowed on my bed and the sunrise view over the water from the window was stunning.
It was so comfortable and had everything I needed, so all I had to do was pack her food, her lead, oh and a few clothes for me! Travelling light because the cottage was so dog prepared and welcoming makes the stay much easier.
And I met the lovely host for a cuppa !
It was an excellent and much needed coastal break, well worth the drive.
Vickie Harris, September 2025
The attention to detail for dogs as well as the humans is amazing
Sarah Hawkins, September 2025
Is super dog friendly, close to the beach and the host is super friendly
Louise Humphrey, September 2025
Because it's the only place I've stayed where the dog is more important than the human 😂
Dru Ross, September 2025
Because there are no boundaries. There's lots of dog treats provided and you can take 2 dogs
Kerry Jordan, September 2025
Sunnyside isn't just dog friendly, it goes above and beyond so that you have peace of mind - knowing you don't have to worry about any random dog rules, a welcome pack for the dogs, extra throws, a borrow box filled to the brim with useful bits like walking bags, flasks, dog shampoo and more. Rachel truly cares about her guests, both four legged and two, and it's the reason I have chosen to stay here multiple times.
Debbie Humphreys, September 2025
We loved our stay at Sunnyside. It was completely relaxing to know there were no restrictions on our dogs. They were allowed to snooze on the sofa and sleep in the bedroom. The welcome kit and attention to detail rarely seen. The dogs are put first at Sunnyside!
Kim ODonnell, September 2025
Rachel and Patch have created the perfect holiday cottage for dogs and owners. Every little detail has been considered to make this the most dog welcoming experience. Rachel has thought of everything you might need, from equipment provided for your dog in case you forget anything right down to the wonderful doggy goodie bag.
It’s a stylish and welcoming, cosy place close to the beach for walkies making it the perfect spot for a holiday with your furry best friend.
Sarah Wells, September 2025
It’s a place where dogs really do come first. Relaxed, cosy with everything you could want for yourself and your dogs

We have been here twice now and are back again this month! Love everything about this cottage, have never felt more welcome bringing my two rescues on holiday. Rachel has pulled all the stops out and deserves every bit of recognition she gets.
Jo Rutter, September 2025
Such a beautiful cottage, amazing for my four legged friend. So doggy friendly. Lovely walks on the doorstep! Wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. The owner goes above and beyond.
