  • "Had a great week despite the weather but unfortunately we can’t book the weather."

    The accommodation was A1 lovely clean and cosy very well equipped Tracy went above and beyond when I asked if there was a hair dryer . The garden is very secure for your furry pet, very quiet and peaceful area central for getting out and about plenty of restaurants for a small village. We will most definitely be back.

    The garden was enclosed and very safe for our dog. Perfect location for exploring the beautiful Yorkshire coast. Would not hesitate booking this property again.

    It was so clean and comfortable and the way it had been ‘decorated’was just like out of a magazine making our stay something special. Flamborough was a lovely place easy to get around to visit the area. People were friendly and helpful too. Have already booked Lilly May for a return visit next year.

    A lovely well equipped house in Flamborough and close to everything you could possibly need. Four pubs, a chemist, a Co-Op, a butchers and cafes also. Only thing the house would benefit from are some small occasional tables in the living room ,just somewhere to put your cup or glass when sitting on the very comfy sofas.

    Thank you for your lovely comments, We are so pleased you enjoyed your holiday and hope to welcome you back very soon. There are two side lamp tables which can be moved for cups etc but I will look into maybe getting a couple of small milking stools to pop cups on. Thanks again Tracey. Property Owner

    Such a cosy accommodation set in a lovely location. Tracey the host is so hospitable, helpful and friendly. We love the walks on the doorstep particularly as we took our dog. The Dane Dykes is only a short trip up the road which is great for shelter from the rain or sunshine as it has a beautiful woodlands walk. However the walk from the property to Thornwick Bay up the road is just as lovely too and free to walk around. We were made to feel very welcomed at the house lots of comfort and everything is to hand all our us had a very restful, enjoyable two weeks. We would definately stay again.

  • "The property was beautifully clean and comfortable with lots to do in the area, however when we arrived one on the front lounge windows was open, 13 cushions were piled on the small sofa (how to arrange them?"

    ). Also no note to tell us freezer and cooker hood didn’t work and there was no dishcloth, no oven gloves and only one tea towel.

    Thank you for your lovely comments we are so pleased you enjoyed your holiday. I’m so sorry about the cushions in the living room that was my fault as was cleaning the cottage myself that day. The Freezer had been turned off from the inside for some reason again my apologies as it is working fine when turned back on. If you’d called I would have popped down and sorted this for you straight away. I provide cloths and scrubbers along with the dishwasher and dishwashing tablets, the oven gloves I thought were in the drawers of the kitchen again my apologies these will be replaced as are not there anymore.

  • "Flamborough and the surrounding areas are lovely, we have had some great walking."

    Property spotlessly clean, but a few basics missing - eg, cafetiere and cups, non-slip shower mat and bath mat. Parking a bit of a problem for a bigger car as the driveway is shared with a van and trailer driver - so a bit tight!! Very upset to be falsely accused and charged an extra £20 ( which Sykes have very kindly paid for us ) for something we know we did not do.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased you like our cottage and enjoyed your holiday. We do have parking at the rear of the property in front of the garage and also under the window, it states the driveway is shared in the guest information book. Bath mat and slip mat are kept in the bathroom cupboard. We provide cups, tea pot etc but no cafetière but I will buy one for any future guests wanting to use one. As for the additional costs incurred, my housekeeper sent pictures of the bedding which had paw marks and dog hair in the bedroom, which she assured me were not there the week before. I ask all guests not to have pets on the furniture or upstairs and can only go by what I have been told and pictures sent. Thank you. Kind Regards. Property Owner

    It was very clean and had everything we needed. I didn't like the quilts on the beds as they kept slipping off and were noisy. Not sure if these were used due to COVID. I thought having to be out for 9:00 am was early, it is usually.10:00 am. The house was situated in a brilliant place to be able to walk to the shops/pubs.

    Thank you for your comments, we are pleased you enjoyed your holiday. I have taken a look at the early checkout and have changed it to 9.30 am. The Duvet protector is there to protect guests due to the Government COVID rules put in place. Thank you, kind regards. Property Owner

    Nice pub "Seabirds Inn" 5 minutes walk, best to book a table as very popular. Couple of negatives, parking is on the road as the drive is shared - I feel this could of been made clearer, basic things like bin bags\tin opener\back door mat\bath mat\coat hooks were missing. Also when leaving we had to strip the beds and put in laundry bags which I dont think is necessary. Overall we had a nice holiday.

The open-plan kitchen and dining area is wonderfully-appointed to the rear of the cottage, with a range of on-hand appliances, boasting a charming oak cashmere unit and rustic worktop.

Gather around the dining room table to enjoy a lovely home-cooked meal, or use as a quiet space to read a good book.

On those summer days, take a refreshing beverage out to the rear garden, with a lawn and two decking areas where you can sit while your little ones and dog can run freely in the secure garden.

About the location

FLAMBOROUGH

Bridlington 4 miles; Filey 7 miles; Scarborough 18 miles.

The pretty village of Flamborough occupies a superb setting, perched on a picturesque peninsula on the East Coast of Yorkshire, 4 miles from Bridlington. Housing traditional fishermen's cottages and a small selection of welcoming pubs and restaurants, Flamborough also has much to offer the rambler, historian and birdwatcher. There are spectacular cliffs, which form an eight mile stretch of Heritage coastline, and at Flamborough Head, stand two historic lighthouses, one of which is the oldest one in Britain, built in 1674. To the north of the village, the magnificent 400 feet high cliffs are home to one of the largest colonies of nesting sea birds in England. Discover the puffins at Bempton, follow the fascinating natural trails at South Landing and the wooded ravine at Danes Dyke, or explore the smugglers’ caves at North Landing. Enjoy a spot of fishing or a boat trip to explore the sea caves. Flamborough Head is a wonderful place for anyone who enjoys beautiful coastal scenery and bracing sea air.
