  This is the worse property that I have booked through you.

  First impression was the patio door which looked dirty but this is actually inside the glass. All carpets are badly stained and dirty. The dining table wobbles and the dining chairs are dirty in the ridges at the back. Lounge furniture is stained. I had to dust the window sill and bottom of the window in the living room as was filthy with dust, dirt and dog hair. I had to set up the TV as it only had BBC channels, I also had to fill the dishwasher with rinse aid and salt. The fridge freezes the products in the actual fridge area. The extractor fan is unsuitable for use as when put on it makes a loud racket. The kitchen is very badly equipped with crockery and cooking utensils, could not use the microwave as nothing to use to heat things up in. No tea towel, dishcloth, dusters, dustpan etc. One of the under cupboard bulbs isn't working. There was black dog hair on the landing carpet when we entered the house and was getting onto our clothes and towels. The standard of cleaning in general is very poor. Bath panel is cracked, the rubber seal is filthy. The mattress on the king-size bed is very badly stained. The whole house needs a deep clean, redecorated and new carpets, fridge, extractor hood, bath panel, king-size bed and mattress. No dog bed or blankets as advertised. The Wi-Fi is very weak and slow. The TV remote does not work properly. We will not be using this property again.

  Sandcastle Cottage is based near to Filey, a lovely seaside resort near Scarborough.

  There is easy (but hilly) access to the beach from the cottage, where you can walk along to Filey village. The cottage itself is lovely with everything you could need for a weeks holiday. The bedrooms were large and the beds were comfy. The kitchen had a washing machine, fridge and everything else you need (only got a small freezer box in the fridge). Central heating could be increased/decreased as you pleased. The living room was also large with a dining table and chairs. Television was good with many channels and Amazon Prime and Netflix available to watch. However, the couches were not the comfiest and were quite low to sit on but were fine for the amount of time that we were actually in the house. On arrival, we noticed that there was quite a bit of damp around the bath area, but once reported to owners, they immediately sent someone out to fix this. The house allows dogs and so the carpets were not perfect and had a few marks on them - to be expected with light colour carpets and dogs. The village has a pub on site, which we visited for dinner a few times, the food was good and they allowed dogs in. There is also a gym, pool, shop and pharmacy. Overall, we liked this cottage and would definitely come back in the future.

  Love The Bay, Filey; great resort and beach.

  This cottage was nice, good location, nice homely touches and comfortable. Yes it does have a bit of wear and tear but that is to be expected and nothing that bad (although the mould around the bath does need attending to). It is unfortunately let down by three things though: one it was very dirty! The owner needs to get a new cleaner. We arrived at 2.30 at the same time as we saw the cleaner go in, the cleaner then left 15 mins later! Not enough time to do a proper clean and it showed! Bathroom was filthy; hair, dirt on bath and sink, I had to clean it. Thick dust everywhere on tvs, etc. Floors still had bits everywhere so wasn’t hoovered properly. I think only the kitchen surfaces had been cleaned (other areas in kitchen were dirty) and the beds made. Second, Wi-Fi is terrible, very intermittent, tried to reset the router several times made no difference, wouldn’t work on my phone at all, couldn’t stream Netflix or BBC iPlayer on tv (plus tv signal wasn’t great); lastly, it needs better outside seating as the bench is very uncomfortable. We had a lovely stay though, weather was great, walks on the beach were fab!

  Absolutely loved my week away Nett's Coastal Escape.

  The apartment is very well presented and Absolutely immaculate. Kitchen is really well equipped for a self catering holiday. Great shower and i found the bed to be really comfortable. I couldn't believe how warm the apartment kept with just the central heating on low, and sometimes not at all. And I stayed in a bitterly cold week in February. Communication with the owner was spot on. I made full use of the Leisure pass which I enjoyed. The Bay holiday park itself is lovely and clean. This was quite possibly was one of the best "Sykes cottages" properties i have ever stayed in. 5 star all the way. I highly recommend this apartment and it's somewhere I will definitely return to in the future. Thank you Jeanette for a wonderful week away. Kobe.

  Fantastic stay in the property, comfortable, clean, loved the wee hamper and the hosts were super helpful and responsive.

  Only flaw I found is not specific to this property and the facilities inside which as mentioned were fantastic, but the path leading to the front door of the entrance hall for all of the properties in this part of the building, was uneven and I actually tripped at this part and hurt my ankle as a result. It was not that obvious to spot, especially after a 6 hour drive and moving luggage inside, it was easy to miss. As mentioned, this is no fault of the owners of the property, who were super helpful when I mentioned this happened and let me know about the pharmacy in the bay and had left ice in the freezer, though I suspect not with this purpose in mind but very helpful nonetheless. 10/10 property though, will be back.
