  Great cottage, spacious and comfortable.

  Mattresses were good and comfortable. Parking on street was never a problem and it is close to pubs, tea room, food shop. Mostly the kitchen, which was very nice with a large oven and hob, was well equipped. But if I have to be picky I'd say they need to provide more than one Tea towel for a week, a pair of oven gloves and some bin liners. Also two bedrooms have no hanging storage so that was awkward at times. A few hooks and hangers in both bedrooms would have been good to hang dresses etc. If two people are sharing the twin room, one small set of drawers with some of the handles missing is not enough storage. Put some hooks on the wall perhaps. It states on the description the cottage is a 'stones throw' away from the sea, so I took that to mean I could walk it, you can't! I wish I'd checked the map before booking. It's a misleading description and Sykes need to take that wording out. The cottage is deceptional and is larger than it looks. It's probably not suitable for the very elderly or anyone with walking difficulties as it has one or two steep steps in the kitchen and dining room and a few smaller ones too. Generally it was clean and well equipped and I would recommend it.

  Courtyard cottage is absolutely lovely it’s very spacious and has everything anyone could possibly need to have a wonderful holiday.

  My only slight criticism (as this is more an error on my part because I perhaps should have asked this question of Sykes upon booking) is that the cottage does have a number of steps inside the property going between the rooms that weren’t mentioned in the description. One particularly large step that caused a bit of an issue with one of our party who has accessibility problems is the one between the kitchen and the dining room which is the access to the stairs up to the bedrooms - my recommendation would be for the owners to consider installing a handrail to assist people like my sister in future so they don’t have any issues. My fault entirely for not checking upon booking but it was quite a large step and I did feel it should be mentioned as I had to help her up and down it safely so she didn’t fall. I chose the property because of the open showers due to her accessibility issues so it was a shame to then have steps inside that we weren’t expecting but it is a lovely cottage and I would absolutely recommend it for a lovely well kept accommodation.

  Our 2nd visit to Causeway Cottage, beautiful home from home.

  Location is amazing with the dedicated pathway to Filey beach, which is a fabulous walk in both directions. The en-suite was updated in Spring, added bonus. Having two comfortable settee’s meant the two of us could put our feet up at the end of the day. The log burner made for cosy evenings whilst the storms did their thing. Comfy beds, plenty of hanging space for the array of clothes needed for our British weather. Being allowed to take our two dogs is great, the large hallway is a handy space for drying them off after their walks to the beach & romps in the sea. An amazing welcome pack, can highly recommend the cafe & farm shop the goodies come from! I used the Shark hoover during our stay, I did try to empty it but couldn’t figure out how to open it.. perhaps the cleaners could make sure it’s not too full for the next guests. Thanks Gwyn & Sally for a great week, can’t wait for a return visit.

  The property was not cleaned to a high standard.

  The bathrooms had hairs in the sinks and on the floors. The kitchen table had crumbs on it, the kitchen chairs and table legs had smeared chocolate spread in areas. The kitchen in general, needs a deep clean. Cupboards not clean, cupboard doors and handles sticky and visibly dirty. The ensuite bathroom had a damaged toilet seat (needs replacing) There was a footprint mark on the toilet seat lid! The ensuite door does not close. The main bathroom door does not close properly or lock. The drawers in both bedrooms were dusty and had hairs in and generally need cleaning. The plug in air freshener was overpowering. I’m providing honest feedback as I would want to know if I owned this property. The cottage is lovely but the lack of cleanliness let it down. It would be useful to state that the garden area is not enclosed and dogs have to be kept on a lead at all times.

  Courtyard Cottage made the perfect base for our family.

  The cottage was furnished beautifully and the kitchen well supplied with all utensils and equipment anyone could need. The bedrooms were comfy and spacious, only the double bedrooms had hanging space however which meant we had to share wardrobes. Both bathrooms were nice and the showers hot and powerful. We would have found a separate toilet to the bathrooms useful as with 7 of us there was often a queue for the bathrooms. The only things we would improve were the cleanliness of the floors, even upon arrival our socks were caked in filth from the floors which clearly hadn’t been cleaned since the previous guests and there is no main light in the sitting room so either you leave the curtains open giving everyone on the Main Street a view of the room or you sit in the near dark as the side lights only work on one side of the room.
