  Me, my partner and our dog had a lovely stay!

  We got out of the stay exactly what we were looking for. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome, everyone spoke to us and we even joined in playing pool and darts. If I’m honest we stopped in a chalet and we both agreed we’d come back to the site but stop in a caravan next time. The chalets are nice but they do lack cooking facilities and a bit more space when you have a pet too. It was not very warm and we did struggle to dry our clothes, however it was March and poor weather. Could not fault the bed and the comfort of the mattress 10/10. The shower was lovely and the hot tub beautiful. Lovely touch having the robes provided too. We made some great friends in the bar and they made our stay! It’s a lovely base for visiting local areas, we went to Scarborough, Whitby and Filey during our stay. There is also great walks from the site, which we loved and made the most of. Thank you Snooty Fox, we will hopefully see you again soon.

  The value was amazing, the hot tub was lovely and we had a fantastic time!

  ! The lack of cooking facilities and fridge space was a struggle with the supermarket 30 mins away. I understand we were made aware of this prior to booking so we came prepared! The chalet not having WiFi is also something that could easily be provided. There wasn't much close to us but we enjoyed being able to drive to various different places throughout our stay! More information on how the jacuzzi works would be great as we struggled to get the temperature above 36 and also couldn't figure out how to turn it off as it would be 3am and we could hear the loud hum of the jacuzzi. There seemed to be a bar onsite which we saw open once, we would have liked to have more information on this as well so we knew when it was open as we would have liked to visit. Thank you!

  This one bedroom cottage is in a nice quiet location.

  It is fitted out well with all the appliances you would need..however as an older couple ..(late sixties) the stairs were narrow ,quite steep with a turn in them ,making them difficult to negotiate. The Bed albeit very comfortable was extremely low and again difficult to get out of.. for us older clients. The welcome pack was a lovely gesture and much appreciated. One criticism would be the attention to detail in cleaning..there were a number of areas that could have been cleaner..the drawer in the wahing machine..(now cleaned by us)..the rack in the oven needs a better clean..cobwebs on lights in Bedroom. But the general tidiness was good. On the whole we thought that it was lovely but probably better suited to a younger couple.

  No cooking facilities and no pubs close by for food so u have to drive.

  It wasn't dog friendly in my opinion, yes there are some fabulous walks for dogs very close by but threw the night if the dog needed a wee u have to take them on there leads to the field as there is no enclosed area for them to do there business. The mattress is in need of being changed, it's very lumpy. The fridge had a horrible smell in it but could also do with being bigger so u can have at least a jug of milk and some snacks in it. There should be information that the pub onsite is cash only and only open 3 days a week. On the other hand the people in the pub made us feel incredibly welcome and when I didn't have cash they let me pay the following day. Also the cleaners were so friendly and helpful they couldn't do enough for us.

  This was a perfect cottage for a couple.

  There was everything you might need, even down to maps of the area, the welcome pack was particularly useful. It is tastefully decorated with a comfortable and spacious bedroom and living area. The kitchen is lovely, there is no washing machine but the owners will allow you to use theirs. The bathroom is excellent, even with toiletries provided. This was a spotlessly clean cottage. Parking was easy, the pub just across the road, and the shop a couple of minutes walk away. The food in the pub is good and the staff friendly. We liked Hornsea and got some excellent but not cheap fish and chips from the Seafront Chip Shop. Our hosts were lovely, it is reassuring that they are close by. We simply loved the place and will be back!
