It had everything needed for me and my family including small children. Great communication prior to arrival, and throughout. Added bonus of some treats for the kids (they really appreciated that, thankyou). We've stayed in so many holiday homes over the last 12 months, this is the best so far for that homely feel, cleanliness, location. We would recommend and absolutely use again.

It was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Off road parking for 2 cars very helpful. Lots of useful tourist information in the house. The owners were easily contactable and very friendly. We found Hornsea a good base to see Hull, Beverley and the East coast. Great fish and chips close by!
