What our customers say about their holidays

  The house itself is lovely and generally well equipped.

  The kitchen had everything we could’ve possibly needed. One small but very useful addition to the property would be a clothes airer - the weather was so bad we couldn’t hang washing on the line. Well situated for the Mere and the town and only a ten minute walk to the seafront. A lovely welcome pack was provided and very much appreciated (great to have a cup of tea after a long drive and not even need to unpack) and it was nice to have the bird feeders in the garden that had obviously been filled before we arrived. We loved watching the sparrows have their breakfast whilst we had ours. The only disappointing thing (and it’s quite a big thing) is that there is no off-street parking. The listing suggests that this is available and it was definitely one of my criteria when looking for a holiday rental. I have an autistic son and off-street parking makes it safer for him and easier for me. We managed the situation ok but I really think this amenity needs to be removed from the listing - we were able to pull up behind the house to unload but then had to find on street parking and with double yellow lines in front of the property it meant trying to find a space in a side street, often a few minutes walk from the property.

  Excellent week in Hornsea.

  Elizabeth House was located perfectly. spotlessly clean on arrival, fresh flowers in all the rooms and a generous welcome pack greeted us. The rooms were a good size and had everything we could possibly want or think of. Free parking on the side street and having taken 2 cars we never struggled to park up. We were able to reverse up a small rear drive to unpack. The area was perfect for exploring - 2 local parks (with playgrounds)for early morning dog walks. 15 minutes stiroll through the town to the sea. Excellent variety of interesting shops. The sea front was clean and dog friendly to the right hand side. 3 pubs and an excellent war bar on the doorstep. The Italian was great as was Mas Indian. The Mere was beautiful and we did the 10k walk around it. We explored and would recommend Spurn head ( no dogs) and Flambourgh head . The fish & chips at the lighthouse in flambourgh village were amazing, though Lilys in the town were also very good. A super week , fabulous house, friendly helpful owners - highly recommend

  The best thing about the holiday house was the number of books and games provided with it.

  With 2 small boys and a smaller car than usual, it was really nice to get there and be able to keep the boys occupied without needing to put the ginormous TV on all the time. There was plenty for us to do too - in fact I'm tempted to return, just to read all the books and watch all the dvds that we didn't have time for! The grounds were also super and we managed to enjoy them a bit despite the autumnal weather. What really set this house apart from all the other good houses we've stayed in is that it was also extremely well located for our needs. The Bridlington railway station, Fraisthorpe beach, John Bull's World of Rock and a Bird of Prey attraction were all within a 4 mile round trip (with older children and better weather, we may even have considered walking this distance in rambling gear). We had a week full of great days out during very changeable weather - taking in Scarborough Castle, Sewerby Hall, Hornsea Museum and Town, the World of Rock, Fraisthorpe Beach, Flamborough Head and Bempton Cliffs.

  No 12 is a great property in an ideal location, close to M & S food hall for starters and the rest of the shops.

  Parking is an added bonus and secure...we weren’t sure how to close the gate rang the owner for advice as we couldn’t find an information handbook for appliance use. No 12 is very spacious and comfortable, and well decorated .Although the kitchen is compact, it has all the essentials you need ,a well stocked supply of tea ,coffee etc . I did feel the kitchen would benefit from a microwave and dishwasher instead of washing machine . Some spare light bulbs could be a useful addition. The bedrooms are well decorated with good storage . Although No12 is within the towns one way road system inside the property it is very quiet, outside in the pretty courtyard area for the you hardly notice the traffic ! (The owners garden is lovely) We had a lovely stay and would consider a revisit.

  What did we enjoy most?

  So hard to say! The house was gorgeous; huge rooms, spotlessly clean, homely, full of so many kitchen implements - pots, pans, plates, glasses etc.... double what normally have so weren't always washing up - dishwasher anyway, welcome pack unexpected but very welcone after long journey. The setting was wonderful, so close to hornsea centre and seafront - walked everywhere and didn't use car for 4days. Beach beautiful, even swam in sea. In fact, we swam, jogged, rowed on the mere, walked and beach combed every day and all loved it. It was a delightful house which lead to a perfect family holiday. Can't wait to come again. The Wright's (Bristol), the Morgan's (Lincs) and the Hales (Herts).
