  We had a lovely stay at Rosie cottage.

  Keep reading for all the pros! There were a few minor things we wanted to inform you of. These are not to be interpreted as negatives, just a few things that would have made our stay perfect. When we arrived, the filter coffee machine had an old, used filter in, so we didn’t use this. The cleaners need to ensure they’re checking this. The lounge needs a coffee table. We saw others had said this in reviews, but unfortunately the issue had not yet been sorted. The baskets used as side tables looked lovely, but not practical. One of the baskets was broken so the lid kept falling in. So just wasn’t appropriate for drinks to stand on. There were some dirty splashes on the lounge wall near the door, either from a dog shaking or a spilt drink. It was quite noticeable so I’m surprised the cleaning team didn’t see it. To match the high standards that run through the cottage, some better quality toilet roll would be good. Some sort of caddy on the wall in the shower to hold items would also be useful. Also - black out blinds in the bedrooms would stop the glaring street light from illuminating the rooms all night long. Other than that, everything was great. The beds were so comfy, lovely bedding, beautiful cottage garden, all the kitchen bits and bobs we could have dreamed of, again, all high quality items. Netflix was logged in so we could cosy down and watch some films. Would definitely stay again. Thank you

  Yet another winner from Sykes Cottages.

  If I could have marked Eric House with an 11, I would have done !. It is a cozy, comfy detached house, outside Filey. It is walkable to the beach via a well established hedgerow walk in about 45 minutes, but we learned to park up in a layby opposite the windmill ( just by Filey's 30 MPH sign) that saved us 20 minutes each day. Filey is old fashioned, and has many green spaces and park benches, and has an air of Georgian gentility. Our excursions were to Pickering ( steam train ), visits to Scarborough, where we found free parking for three hours by the harbour, and many steps and walkways up the hill to St Mary's church, where Anne Bronte's grave can be found ( street parking for two hours there ) A trip to Bridlington turned out to be a bit of a let down, though. Back to the house - the parking area was big enough to drive in, turn around and drive out, but I will say the road was busier than I expected. I especially liked the chimes of the church bell throughout the night, and the dawn chorus from the rookery in a nearby copse. Country sounds that add to a country cottage holiday. Only thing missing was a wall clock in the lounge. Have to mention a nearby pub called The Piebald , famous from ' Four in a Bed' some years ago. Famous for the 52 types of pie available. Did not make it this trip, so I will drool over that menu until next time !

  Lovely cottage in a great situation.

  It was very comfortable and had just about everything you would need. I would have liked a clock in the living room and a full length mirror somewhere, but appreciate that these are not essentials. I may be stupid but could not find the dishwasher listed in the amenities and there is a definite technique required for the door lock. We were lucky in that we got parked reasonably close to the cottage daily. Understand why the double yellows outside on the corner, but at another time it could be a bit of a walk. The church bells have a mixed reaction. I got used to them but less so my wife. The real plus points were the welcome packs when we arrived. A selection of Yorkshire goodies and another one with tea, coffee and biscuits were such a nice touch. Would definitely stay here again when in the area

  The house is an excellent base for exploring this part of Yorkshire, very well-equipped, good temperature control (but see below), clean and comfortable.

  Good-sized kitchen/dining area and spacious lounge, while the snug is a nice bonus. Bedrooms decent-size with comfy beds. Bathrooms also roomy. There is good access to Filey and/or Scarborough for things like shopping and entertainments. We arrived in a heatwave, so the aircon was extremely welcome, but we later proved that having multiple sources of heating/hot water was also a good idea when the immersion failed. We were able to turn on the boiler instead. Thanks to Steve (owner) for his help in sorting this out. A couple of small points: for young children (i) a stairgate would be handy, and (ii) the single bed's design is potentially hazardous for a child--travel cot (available) would be a better choice. All in all, a nice house that worked well for 4 adults a 3-yr old and a baby. Many thanks!

  Overall we had a great few days at The Bay.

  Quite, relaxing and near to many other places. The lodge it’s self is well equipped and has a really nice feel and well decorated. There were just a few points which will make the experience even better: There was no light working in the fridge and also the dining area, so made it difficult to see at night. The main bed is rather creaky and every time you turn you hear it. The lodge is surface clean but it’s due for a deep clean high level, door frames, light fixtures etc.... lastly there was no bath mat for the en-suite so had to use towels and no toilet roll was a bit bizarre? Saying this, we would rerun for another weekend break!
