  • "The cottage itself was absolutely lovely nice and clean lovely welcome gift as ..."

    The cottage itself was absolutely lovely nice and clean lovely welcome gift as it was Christmas, what really let it down was that you had to park on a grass verge which is not good in the winter and also for a dog friendly cottage until we got there the back garden was completely open so could not let dog off of lead which I feel should be in the cottage description this is the first dog friendly cottage we have had over the last 10 years with Sykes that you can't let your dog out on its own

  • "Lovely cottage with everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay."

    Owners greeted us and explained everything we needed to know, most importantly how to get the log burner going and how to work the hot tub

  • "The carpet in the lounge had lots of hair (possibly dog) on it and as we had a toddler with us it wasn’t ideal."

    The hot tub appears to be 2 gardens away which is at the back of the owners home, therefore not giving you total privacy. There was no light to the hot tub in the dark and there is a small step as you walk along the path to which I stumbled off. The location is lovely and quiet and central for visiting other locations.

    The rug on the laminate in front of the fire may be a favorite place for dogs who visit. i can assure you it was well vacuumed before you came. The garden is very large and open, the hot tub has been placed to the right with planting and a fence to screen for privacy. The lights which light the steps are on a timer from dusk till 10pm when the hot tub closes . Property Owner

  • "Lovely cosy cottage, hot tub was hot and roomy, comfortable beds, wood burner was perfect, could do with some trays for the oven and a chest of drawers in the bedrooms would have been better as nowhere to put anything, bedside cabinets not ample enough, other than that cannot fault the property and landlord/lady, would definitely recommend."

    Thank you for your feedback! We're really glad you enjoyed your stay at The Cottage and appreciate your reccomendation! Ensuring guests' comfort is our top priority and we would not want to limit the space available. We will take your feedback on board however, and see what compromises can be made! Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely stay here for a week as a family of four."

    The cottage was clean and comfortable, parking was easy and the location was excellent for exploring the local area. The kids enjoyed using the hot tub and the owners are friendly and on hand being just next door. Only a couple of minor improvements would make this cottage better; it's own dedicated WiFi rather than sharing from next door which has patchy coverage and is quite slow, and also some extra coat hangers in the wardrobes as there is limited storage upstairs. Overall we had a very pleasant stay and would be happy to return

  • "Lovely cottage which suited our needs."

    Being clean and comfortable and close to the coast supported our chilled and relaxed holiday. The hot tub was fantastic. The bee hive in the insecure garden were both issues for my young dog, but I really should have checked garden security before booking. Tim and Sam were excellent hosts, proving everything we needed whiist remaining unobtrusive. The lovely dog friendly village pub provides meals and is a short walk away. A lovely stay in a quiet and peaceful location.

    The owners were very nice and explained how to use things on our arrival. The Cottage is very well equipped, and a bit like home from home....The only difference is, at home I don't have a hot tub, which was absolutely incredible. I would definitely recommend this place, and would love to go back again. Our dog loved the massive ( extremely well kept) back garden. It is so quiet and peaceful, lovely to hear birds chirping. Great place to stop, and isn't far from different attractions, depending on what you want to see. Definitely 5 stars from me and my family.

The property

A delightful mid-terrace cottage, next door to the owner's home, on the edge of the quiet rural village of Kilham, mid way between Driffield and Bridlington in the Yorkshire Wolds.

A brick-built cottage with whitewashed façade and pantile roof, this character Kilham cottage boasts original beamed ceilings and a brick fireplace which houses a cosy woodburning stove.

There are two comfortable bedrooms in this Driffield cottage, one with an original brick fireplace and views over open countryside.

On the ground floor there is a sitting room with dining area and woodburning stove and a small, well-equipped kitchen which opens on to a patio leading to a lawned rear garden with hot tub and changing facilities.

Kilham offers one pub.

Further afield are the market towns of Driffield, Beverley, Hornsea and Hunmanby, all of which offer shopping and dining facilities, plus Bridlington has award-winning, sandy beaches.

RSPB Bempton Cliffs nature reserve is famous for puffins and gannets in the summer and Flamborough has wonderful limestone cliffs on view along the bracing coastal footpaths.

The Yorkshire Wolds Cycle Route is less than a mile from the cottage, and it's on the Hockney Trail, plus the historic resort of Whitby and the delights of York are both within an easy drive.

This Kilham cottage is ideally placed for a varied and interesting holiday.
