  We stayed for a week at White Cottage just after Covid restrictions were finally eased, and the accommodation was very clean.

  The whole process felt Covid secure. Lizzy our host was very accommodating and welcoming, meeting us in the beautiful garden on arrival and being on hand if needed. The cottage is spacious and beautiful, full of character with many original features. It was rather cold but warmed up with the heating system, and the wood burner is very cosy (fuel and kindling is extra). The kitchen is well equipped and we ended up cooking every day. The washing machine is easy to use - don't forget your laundry detergent! The only reason for not giving full marks for comfort is the double bed footboard, which being tall was awkward in an otherwise comfortable bed. It would have been nice also to have a working bathroom fan. Boynton is a tiny hamlet, very peaceful with lovely local walks, yet easily accessible. Nearest shops are in Bridlington (Morrisons etc) and Driffield is also within easy reach. The highlight for us was the wildlife, at Flamborough Head, Bempton cliffs and even in the local fields where we saw spring hares and a tawny owl!

  20 High Street was an ideal choice for our family for a short break during half term.

  It's a lovely house full of character and situated in the old historic part of Bridlington which was also full of charm. The location was still walkable to the sea front end of the town with the beach, promenade and attractions. The house was an ideal size for our party of 4 plus dog (but can sleep 5) and was very well appointed, nicely decorated with good quality furnishings. There were also nice little touches you don't always see in holiday rentals which made the place feel really welcoming. As mentioned in the description there are parking restrictions outside but this wasn't a problem for us as there is plenty of unrestricted parking just a short walk away. It was a great base to explore the rest of the coastline and moors and we could highly recommend Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay.

  The owners were more than helpful - our arrival was late but Lizzie was all smiles as she welcomed us to The White Cottage.

  We arrived during a cold wet spell in June yet the cottage was warm, the heating switched on and perfectly timed to go on for part of the night and day. The cottage is very spacious and decorated and furnished with exquisite taste. Being in a hamlet with no through traffic, it's perfect for anyone wanting peace and quiet, yet not isolated. It even has an old fashioned scented rose growing over the front door. The cottage is located perfectly for easy access to the Wolds, coastal towns of interest such as Whitby, Robins Hood Bay, Filey, Bridlington with memories of Dad's Army being filmed here, sandy beaches, several Stately Homes, a Steam Railway from Pickering to Whitby, stopping at Gothland where Heartbeat was filmed. There isn't time to see it all in one week.

  This is a lovely cottage with a beautiful garden in a small quiet village with no through traffic on the road outside.

  The cottage is decorated to a very high standard - including fresh flower arrangements, it is also spotlessly clean. Although it was the end June we put the heating on but didn't use the log burner, its an old building with thick walls which don't warm up very quickly so I suggest that you pack an extra jumper. The bed was comfortable for us - but we aren't very tall. The wi-fi was fine, but the phone signal (Virgin) was sometimes a bit hit and miss. The experience with Sykes was OK but even after I had booked the cottage, I was still being sent emails suggesting that I should book it and we didn't need an email the day before departure telling us how to vacate the property - the house owner had left clear, simple instructions which were all we needed.

  The cottage was very clean, tidy and warm with plenty of hot water.

  The owner left lots of manuals and instructions so we could easily find out how everything worked. Kitchen was well equipped - only negative in the kitchen was the saucepans, they have definitely seen better days! The towels were large and soft and fluffy. The bedding was soft and the beds were comfy. The location of the cottage was excellent to travel to all of the places we wanted to visit and there are lots of shops and stores etc in Driffield, including the very convenient NISA store that was pretty much opposite and stocks practically everything you need. I would definitely recommend this cottage
