  Just returned from a great break at Engine Room Cottage, Sledmere.

  The Cottage is located on the outskirts of the village on the Bridlington Rd. Although a main road the traffic, was minimal and road noise zero. The Cottage is brilliantly furnished and offers 3 separate bathrooms, that was brilliant to our group of 3 couples. Two bedrooms are on the upper floor incorporating en-suite, whilst the third with 2 single beds is on the lower floor with an adjacent bathroom. The lounge/kitchen is of open plan design, with patio doors offering access to limited outdoor seating. The owner was a very obliging individual and couldn’t do enough for us, even though located some 50 miles away. The Cottage is superbly kitted out with every utensil you could imagine, games, dvd and books available. We were somewhat limited in having access to Sledmere House as it was closed for the season, but our limited siting gave a desire to return and view at a later date.. We ate in the Triton Inn and I would highly recommend this, with a great selection of food and drinks. We walked through to the other nearest pub/restaurant at Helperthorpe on Saturday afternoon, but were disappointed to discover that both locations didn’t open until 6.00pm and an 11 mile walk does give you appetite and thirst. Visited Malton on Friday, the micro pub Brass Castle, well worth a visit. If using Taxis, do some homework as the rates quoted from Sledmere to Malton, varied between £75, £45 & £33. Malton is a lovely visit and I would recommend. Beware of limited parking at the Cottage and we did have s number of issues, but to be fair, it is recommended for 2 cars, but unfortunately we had 3. Overall great location, great faculties, very clean and with a very obliging owner on the end of the phone.

  We've now booked 6 properties for UK breaks via the Sykes website and No 37 is a 'deluxe 10* cottage', the finest and the best of all of them.

  The owners have restored No 37 with good taste (decor) and good quality fixutres and fittings, making it spacious, luxurious and comfortable for two guests to feel cozy and 'at home'. We slept so well on the luxury Feather and Black mattress and other quality bedding and pillows. We were spoilt by 2 x large screens tv's with all the apps, a Nespresso machine, an ice machine, a Smeg oven, lovely plates, and mugs, everything oozes quality and felt chosen with love by the owners. We knew our hosts would attend if needed, but the cottage ran itself perfectly. Step out of No 37 and you have Beverley on your doorstep so let your car rest and enjoy walking and exploring the historic streets. The Minster is a spectacular jewel, the Stray is a pleasure for a walk, and Beverley Beck has a peaceful footpath close by. A highlight was walking over the Humber Bridge, park your car in the bridge carpark, walk over and back, and each end has a cafe. There are excellent food shops in Beverley, we chose Vanessa for deli, and M&S for staples, and we ate at The Beverley Arms and the Woolpack pub. All the pies mash and gravy are homemade! Beverley also has an excellent Saturday market. The town is busy and feels very vibrant with a real heart. We can't wait to return. Thank you again to hosts Kim and Charlie.

  The photos make the place look much bigger than it is.

  We booked for ourselves and two family members who were in their 80 s. Having booked it as dog friendly we were amazed to find the only access to the garden was through the main bedroom via the double doors. This bedroom is far superior to the second bedroom which is so overcrowded with the 2 single beds it makes storage very difficult. The arrangement meant my husband and I had to have the bigger and better room simply so the dog could be let out. It also meant that there was no window to open so there was condensation around the windows and the room had a very damp and musty smell. The rooms are very dated and lights did not work round the beds which meant having a bedside lamp which was too big. If the double bed was put into the smaller room and the singles swapped into the other it would provide more storage and space. As often is the case sleeping 4 means 4 cups,plates,bowls and cutlery. If at least 8 of everything was provided then the dishwasher would be full when put on instead of having to leave it half empty. All that being said, the place was warm and clean and the beds very comfortable. I think it should be made clear in the description than the only access to the garden is through a bedroom.

  Corner Bungalow is a very cosy house had almost everything we could need.

  Just one or two things we felt should have been done. The bathroom toilet had brown marks in the bottom need cleaned with bleach, items left in the bathroom cabinet. there as a bath towel each but no hand towels (I found one in the wardrobe) Bedroom was lovely the only problem it was very warm during the night not window to open, could not leave door open all night. Some kitchen items needed cleaning before use, microwave also needed a clean. Kick plate beneath sink should have been put back un - tidy looking. A T.V. in the kitchen would have been a good thing as we sat in their for meals. Lounge lovely and cosy loved it. Lovely garden back and front shame it was not warm enough to sit in much. We booked it because it is very close to a friend I have in Driffield. Another good thing would be to have some TAXI numbers added in your information folder. Information as to when dust bins should go out should be in information folder. The garden bin had not been emptied for a while so full. We could not find any keys for shed/garage anywhere. Just one or two things I myself feel the lovely place needed.

  A perfect 4 night stay - just not long enough!

  ! No 37 is a beautifully furnished cottage with high quality equipment and spotlessly clean. The owners’ attention to detail have created a lovely place for rest and relaxation, ideal for a couple. It is ideally positioned to take advantage of the many diverse eateries and places to drink, and also places of interest, lots being within short walking distances. Beverley railway station is only a short walk from the cottage if you decide you want to explore further afield with links to Hull / Scarborough / York to name but a few. On arrival we were warmly greeted by the owners for handover of keys, a quick review of the property, and helpful recommendations of the local area. We really appreciated the tasty goodies that were kindly left for us too. The parking permit worked really well too- we found that we could always find a space close to the cottage.Thank you so much for our refreshing break. We will definitely visit again. David and Karin
