  A beautiful cottage.

  Great location, car park around back £15 for week. Quaint front garden. On arrival before we had even unpacked I had to ring Sykes to say it had not been cleaned very well. Stain on bedding, bathroom mirrors you could not see through, dirty cutlery and kitchen cupboards, mould in a casserole dish, this was to name a few. Welcome pack of half open jar of coffee and teabags, a packet of choc nuts all but 3 eaten out of them! Thank goodness no one had a nut allergy!!!! 2 bags of crisps and miniature marmalade! Skye’s got the caretakers daughter to come and do a re clean, even she agreed that this was not up to standards and did a quick clean upstairs, this was now about 5pm ish, we appreciated her coming and gave her £20 for having to try and rectify someone’s else’s cleaning, if she had done all the cleaning that wanted doing she would have been there a good 4hours. I cleaned the cutlery and draw, wiped all the kitchen down, found half used garlic behind trays, food left in end cupboard ( which I left) there was cake in bedroom draws, sweet wrappers under bed, coat hangers and someone’s knee bandage on book case in lounge!! The list is endless, I have photos to prove all this too. Good grief this property wasn’t cheap to stay in. The owners have lovingly restored this cottage and put good quality furniture in, what a shame for it not to be maintained the way it should be. Before I left I hoovered lounge and kitchen took photos to prove I left it looking nice. Hopefully the cleaner will hoover all corners that’s not been done in months! What a shame. Would have been nice for Skye’s to have told the owners of our grumbles on that Saturday, but they said we complained the day before departure, that was our second email. The caretaker also should have come to see it too, his daughter even took photos. Very disappointed how we have been treated.

  Lovely cottage - the owner said they’d had many holidays there and that was what made a difference I think.

  It felt cosy like a real “home” as soon as you walked in. The decor was not the cheap “make do and mend” that you often find - it was really nicely and tastefully done. The cottage was very well equipped and the owners had anticipated most of the needs of visitors. The welcome pack was very welcome. Thank you. The cottage was lovely and clean, very warm and comfortable. It has traditional features (including a few spooky creaks and groans. We swear we heard a young child say “Daddy” just outside the bedroom door one night….. we hid under the duvet) A couple of “even better if’s”: (1) the dishwasher didn’t work properly and after three washes we had to wash the pots by hand as they were not clean at all (2) maybe leave some washing up liquid and a couple of dishwasher tabs for the next visitors (we left dish cloths). (3) The property is very difficult to find. I couldn’t find it on Google Earth so texted for clarification a few days before we went. I did not get a reply. We couldn’t find it where the post code led us, so we scoured the streets - the locals in the pub hadn’t heard of it either. The contact numbers provided were all the same number and not answered (no signal in the village so had to drive a couple of miles out of the village till I could get a signal). At one point, we even considered having to return home or find a Premier Inn for the night. I don’t know if this will help future visitors but I took the “what three words” reference: ///stylist.recorders.signature Somehow, we did spot the cottage on what was our last attempt. Negatives aside, all in all a lovely visit to a lovely cottage in a beautiful village. Our third stay in Staithes and the best cottage so far. We will be back.

  Very convenient for Central Richmond and all it has to offer and also access by foot to good riverside walks.

  It is a lovely property and as the instruction book advises the house warms up well and seems to retain heat. ( Thick walls helps with this ) The exception is that the kitchen radiator cannot be turned on. It's okay if cooking with the cooker or you have to leave the sitting room door open. However, that then cools down the sitting room. Thankfully, the weather turned very cold only the day we departed. We found the furniture and beds comfortable. (Even the one settee that was well used and dipped. That became my spot) More wine glasses would be advisable, only three when we arrived and one broke in the dishwasher. We bought two more. Some microwave dishes, potato peeler would be good otherwise utensils were well catered for. There was dish washing tabs available but no washing machine tabs. I know it is self catering but often there are some available at cottages we rent. The welcome pack on arrival was good thank you. We were mixed family and friends staying so not having locks or a bolt in the toilet/shower rooms is not good. We had to make signs for the doors and tell folk that if the doors were closed it was in use. Re parking, we off loaded the cars at the gate with warning lights on. We paid £15 to park the car for a week in Nunns Close Car Park. Very close to the property. (£15.20 if you use Ring Go App ) A good week was had.

  We booked as a late break for our little boys 9th birthday.

  And we definitely picked the right place! It was absolutely fabulous. With only six pods on site, it was quiet and calming and such a beautiful location too. The pod was spotless and had great facilities with everything you needed inside. We routinely take our own pot washing items and kitchen roll, but only need the kitchen roll. We were short on pillows but this was fine as I'd brought my own so we shared between us. I'm sure that if we'd asked for an extra one that it would have be arranged, but we managed with what we had and it wasn't an issue. The site is just a short drive to Bridlington and various other areas for all of the necessities, fun and adventure. The games room was a really great touch and the goal posts in the field to the front of the pods really made our little boys day when we arrived. He was in his element. He was safe to wander and we knew he'd be okay. He loved seeing the animals and birds and being in nature in general. The hot tub was so nice and the site in general was wonderful. The fire pit/BBQ were so handy and it was nice that the wood wasn't an added extra like a lot of places. Things like that make a difference. We'll definitely look at going back again. We couldn't have found a better spot. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

  An absolute gem of a glamping pod.

  The pod was bigger than we expected and the site itself is brilliant. It’s very quiet and peaceful yet close enough to everywhere like Bridlington, Scarborough & Whitby to spend the days out. The obvious highlights of the pod are the fire pit & hot tub but I thought it was really good to have a smart TV with Netflix etc. It’s also worth mentioning that the WiFi & 5G signal are really strong again not what I was expecting. Waking up to chickens and Guineafowl never got dull. The owners appear to have thought of everything and more. They’re also on hand to give great advice on area, Rachel told us about Fraisthorpe beach - which we knew nothing about - and it was fantastic. What I liked is how much they clearly care about the pods but also how much they care about your vacation. My only recommendations are a firmer pillow (although we never struggled sleep) and I would have brought a camping chair (there’s plenty of seating though) just so I could sit under the stars for longer. Would highly recommend and we will be back - we also had a little dog with us who absolutely loved every minute of it. You’ve found it now get it booked.
