• "Our party of 11 stayed for the weekend at Reighton house."

  I had booked it due to its location and size for a hen party group. The house and garden was beautiful, great size and excellent facilities, everyone loved the kitchen and game room. We even had some Arger lovers, so we enjoyed pastries and nibbles heated up in this. There is a double electric oven for anyone who doesn't know how to use the Arger, so don't be out off by this! We had a day trip to Bridlington catching the bus there and back (20 mins each way). The buses was very regular and the stop was only 7 mins walk away, so very handy. We booked a meal at the local pub, and the food was delicious. The pub runs off limited staff, so we did pre-book and had to make our main food selection before the day, but this wasn't a problem. They also have an extensive menu, including gluten free. The pub is 20-30 mins walk, so we did drive (5 mins). The bathroom facilities in the house was good, and we didn't have any issues with hot water for showers. The house was chilly in the evening but the house had a Hive heating control which was easy to use and heated the property up fast. A small group of the girls went for a sunrise walk and wasn't disappointed, they saw deer, hares and dolphin in the sea, and a sunrise to remember, all within 1 mile walk. Overall a great stay and we would highly recommend for large family groups or like us a relaxing hen party/birthday group.

• "The cottage itself is in a fantastic location and has the benefit of being a short-drive to the beach or Filey."

  During our stay we had visits to Filey,Scarborough,York and Bridlington.We were very lucky with the weather but regardless the beach is incredible and accessible by a 30 min walk or 5 min drive. We had a party of 12 and still had plenty of space. The kitchen had every facility and plentiful supplies of plates, cups and glasses. It was great fun cooking on the Aga and the induction hob. The bathrooms were also great and the showers powerful and hot. The garden was well maintained and perfect for kids and the dogs to play in safely. The house also has a good games room with a pool table, darts and table football. As a competitive group we spent a lot of time in there. Our only gripe is the cues and darts were in need of replacement and would suggest more serious players bring their own equipment. Also the TVs were very old and in the games room did not work at all. A recommendation is a new TV is inexpensive and an upgrade would be appreciated by guests. Overall though would highly recommend and the house was exceptionally clean and well maintained.

  Thank you for your fabulous feedback, new smart tvs have now been replaced, so glad you enjoyed your stay Property Owner

• "What an amazing house , perfect for a family get together ."

  Loved everything about it. Warm and welcoming , comfy beds and lovely bedding . Kids loved the 4 bedder in the attic . It was rather warm in the attic and we couldn't turn the radiators down but not really a problem . Living room with plenty of seating and open fire a bonus . We'll equipped kitchen , and the table conversion in the games room is very clever so we could all sit round a table to eat. Games room was well used by kids and adults alike . Facilities for dogs were really good , huge garage space so room for our 3 dog crates . Safely enclosed garden . Would highly recommend this property , we had a fantastic weekend .

• "Reighton House is a beautiful, period house with lots of space."

  The Christmas hamper left for us was a lovely touch. The games room is a perfect place for the children to play and gave them plenty of space to play with their Christmas presents. The kitchen is very well equipped providing everything you need including an air fryer and slow cooker which we weren’t expecting. The heated tray was very useful on Christmas Day. There are two fridges, two freezers and lots of empty cupboards for storage. The bedrooms are comfortable and the showers in the en-suite rooms are excellent. The garden would have been a lovely safe place for the children to play in had the weather been better. The house is situated in a lovely quiet village with Filey and Bridlington within easy reach. There is a small playground in the village too. The three generations of our family had a great Christmas at Reighton House and would happily return there in the future.

• "There was a very strong bad smell through out our stay around the fridge area."

  We cleaned the fridge but suspect something may have died behind / under it. There was a lack of detailed instruction within the property and things like the extract cooker hoods didn't work, the juke box didn't work, the pool table kept jamming etc. There is no point in advertising facilities if you cant use them. The property itself is lovely, but needs some attention in terms of maintenance. Its clearly designed for holiday lets, and as such there was no clear facility for recycling, but all said and done we still had a great weekend

  Thank you for raising the issues, the hole at back of fridge was blocked which was causing the smell, the other issues have now been rectified. There is a sign in the entrance which gives details of all rubbish goes in the big blue commercial bin. Glad you enjoyed your stay Kind regards Karen Property Owner

  It’s a period house with lots of interesting features and everyone was happy with it. It’s a little tired in places but maybe that’s in part because it’s near the season end. Beds were comfy for all of us despite what some other reviews have said.

• "Beautiful place surrounded by a lovely garden."

  The only criticism was the flies that seemed to be always gathering in the kitchen. It didn't matter how many died on the hanging fly papers (which were pretty full already when we arrived) or how many we hit with the provided fly swat and spray, they returned. After the first night we kept the outer doors and windows closed but they still came. We closed all inner doors after the first night because my granddaughter woke with them crawling on her. This did contain them to the kitchen,but it meant the kitchen became very warm, especially as the arga was permanently on. Luckily the weather was kind and we were able to eat outside and in the rest of the house. Any food left out in the kitchen was crawling with flies in minutes, even strawberry tops. We never did find the source.

  Glad you enjoyed your stay, there is an issue with flies in the whole village at the moment, I have bought an commercial fly killer now so hopefully this will help with the issue Kind regards Property Owner

• "Hi I would like to know if the owner of Reighton house has seen my feedback from our holiday 5th to 9th August 2024."

  Due to the amount of flies in the kitchen on our arrival and during our holiday, it would be acceptable to be given a discount. Also the four poster bed had blood on the sheets and was very uncomfortable, so much so that they ended up sleeping on a sofa. I await your reply Mrs wendy patterson.

  Hi Wendy, really sorry, I’m only aware of the problem with the flies, which is not only a problem with the house but the whole area due to where it is located near farm land & the weather Regards Karen Property Owner

• "Lovely big property as stated online with great enclosed walled garden with lots of space."

  Booked for family birthday & the games room was one of the reasons we booked this property. Got used daily but would suggest replacing the darts or getting some new flights for them because most of them have split & don’t work. Bedrooms were spacious but we found mattresses uncomfortable- maybe some are ready to be replaced & in general bits of the property are looking tired. No welcome pack or personal touches on arrival which is a disappointment for the price & not much information on the property available.

• "The property is lovely and has lots of space for a 2 generation family holiday."

  The bedding and towels were clean and comfortable. There is everything you need during your stay facility wise. We were disappointed that there was no welcome pack not even any milk, we have at least 2 Sykes stays a year and this is the first time we haven’t been left the basics. Try as we might we could not find an information pack for the appliances etc and luckily we didn’t need the cellar key which was not on the kitchen window sill as stated. The garden is a great size and has plenty of seating and a bbq. The games room is very well equipped and lots of fun. The property and the garden however do need some TLC but overall a lovely base for a comfortable holiday.

  Thank you for your feedback, glad you enjoyed your stay, the welcome pack is in a folder in kitchen drawer & sorry the cellar key was left in the door and not on the window Kind regards Karen Property Owner

• "Loved, loved, loved, Reighton House."

  Unfussily comfortable and well stocked. I do however want to let you know that the shower in the 4 poster bedroom doesn’t drain well. I had to keep turning off the water to wait for it to drain so it didn’t overflow into the bathroom. Also two Coffee presses would work a little better for large groups. Otherwise everything was fabulous- will definitely recommend your place and possibly stay again. :)

• "We stayed at this property as a group of 10 adults, an 8 month old baby and 3 dogs."

  The property itself was perfect, with spacious bedrooms spread across the upper floors alongside modern en-suite and bathroom facilities. The downstairs area was perfect for a large group - there was enough space for us to all sit as a group in the lounge and the games room was a big hit in the evenings. We cooked several meals in the kitchen and used all of the appliances with no issues. The garden is large and well maintained, with ample space for our 3 dogs to run around securely. There is a lovely sheltered seating area which meant that we could still enjoy some fresh air despite the weather not being perfect all week. There is lots of off road parking available. Location-wise, this house was perfect for exploring the east coast - we took trips to Scarborough, Bridlington and Filey. There is a lovely walk along the coast from just up the road, and we also took the dogs for a run down Hunmanby Gap beach which was beautiful. We went slightly further afield too and visited York, Thornton-Le-Dale and Flamingo Land - all within an hours drive. Reighton House was like a home from home for us, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to visit again in the future.

  We were a party of 13 family members ranging in age from 72 to 1 year old. The house was very comfortable indeed , very warm, welcoming and well supplied with all equipment and furnishings, great heating, wi-fi, spacious and well equipped bedrooms, and modern and efficient bathrooms. We loved the garden and the barbecue and made good use of the games room. We were really pleased to be able to seat 12 with ease for a family celebration in the games room when we converted the pool table to a dining table. On site parking for 4 cars was easy. We heartily recommend this house as a lovely property, well-maintained, spacious and very comfortable.

• ""Diamond in the rough" - Generally the house is lovely."

  The house is very generous in space but more so in the bedrooms than the living areas. It's in a great location, handy for Filey beach and close enough to Scarborough to make it a lot cheaper that similar houses accommodating a large party. The garden is a great space, getting loads of sun in the summer months. Probably a better house for adults than parties with kids. Firstly, we'd like to state we would have booked this house for 2022 but it was already booked up. At first site it is a really impressive property, but after staying there a while we realised it needs more spent on it to be the luxury accommodation which it claims. It sleeps 15 but we found it very difficult to self cater with a mixed group of 10 people - 6 adults, 4 kids aged 1 - 6. The kitchen is OK, but didn't have the appliances to cope with our group, never mind one of 15 which it can sleep. It is well stocked with pans, crockery etc, but a lot has seen better days, especially the frying pans - non-stick doesn't last forever. The dishwasher is too small internally/doesn't have moveable shelves. You could not stack the plates normally without them stopping the spray rotors working. Lighting could also be better. There is an AGA which we only used for plate warming, so replace that with units and new ovens, at least 2 full size built in ovens. The existing one is a NEFF double oven, but the seal was coming away on the lower larger oven and it took almost half the time again to cook food. Needs changing. There isn't enough fridge and freezer space for a full house. It has a separate fridge and freezer in the utility, but make them full height as plenty of space to do so. Even getting shops delivered every other day, we struggled with the fridge space. Fridge-freezer in kitchen needs a defrost. They need to look at the mattresses. At least two in the 4 berth bedroom in the roof need replacing and generally they were not the best quality. Tech NEEDS an upgrade. Broadband is terrible!!! Simply doesn't work. We struggled to stream music, never mind a film for the kids when the rain set in. Can't remember when I last saw a TV using a SCART lead ;-) - 20 years ago? The main living room is a great size but would benefit from some more large lamps for the evening. We brought them down from the bedrooms, otherwise, just the harsh main light. Playroom would also benefit from this. We did have an issue with some bedding which was sorted out really quickly, but we also thought the cleaning of the bathrooms needed to be better. The garden is a great space. It would be great if the gates were lockable - particularly the one to the road. In short, I would say this house could be fantastic, but it needs more money spent on it. Perhaps with 15 beds it is overstretching itself. The kitchen in particular would struggle to cope for a party wanting to fully self-cater.

But we had plenty to keep us warm. The games room was great fun and converted beautifully into a dining room! We had a lovely stay.

  Some of the bed linen needs to be replaced and the shower tray in bedroom 3, where we stayed, was not clean. We had to put all our rubbish in black bin bags and put these in a large wheely bin. This was not difficult but the issue is that I hope the contents of the bags are recycled at some point down the line as there was glass, plastic and paper in the bags. There was a major uncomfortable incident on Saturday morning regarding the adjacent farm next door and I will telephone later to explain what happened.
