  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 !

  Margaret’s absolutely stunning holiday property did not disappoint.

  The location is prefect, just a short walk to the sea to town, and the photos don’t do the house justice - the decor is beautiful, as is the garden. The property was absolutely spotless, with lots of home comforts, luxurious linens and everything that you could need for a very comfortable stay. The tvs in the main bedroom and dining room, as well of the lounge were very much appreciated on an evening with teenagers, so we could all relax and do our own thing separately if needed. The downstairs loo was a bonus too, particularly as I have poor mobility and I wasn’t sure when we booked if it would have one. The master bedroom is beautifully spacious, with a lovely en-suite including a bath and provided bubble bath, which was a great way to end the day. We all really appreciated the homemade cake and jams, what a lovely surprise that was. Margaret the owner, was great at communicating too, and although there were zero issues, I’m sure she’d reply swiftly if there were any. We’d definitely like to return.

  A fantastic well kept house with lots of equipment included, even things you wouldn't expect I.

  E t-towels, laundry liquid, hand-wash, plenty of tea and coffee including decaff etc. There were even little extras included, some home made jam and marmalade, homemade flapjack, some chocolate, a stick of rock for the children and an Easter egg, hot cross buns and even milk in the fridge. On the day of leaving the owner arrived to clean the house, we apologised as we were a bit late leaving, she allowed us time to finish packing and said not to rush. I'd recommend this house, it's close to the beach, shops, pubs, restaurants, and a train line at the bottom of the garden (which you can't hear due to excellent windows and doors) , yet it's so quiet and peaceful, a fantastic home from home. The photos don't show the house as fantastic as it is. We'd certainly return if we ever want to holiday in Bridlington again.

  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
