  • "The house was a real home from home."

    It had everything needed for me and my family including small children. Great communication prior to arrival, and throughout. Added bonus of some treats for the kids (they really appreciated that, thankyou). We've stayed in so many holiday homes over the last 12 months, this is the best so far for that homely feel, cleanliness, location. We would recommend and absolutely use again.

  • "We spent a most enjoyable week at the Whyte retreat, everything was as if should be in a holiday cottage."

    Hornsea is always a winner for us, made even more enjoyable when staying at a lovely holiday home like the Whyte retreat.

  • "The Whyte Retreat is a beautiful and comfortable holiday home."

    It was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Off road parking for 2 cars very helpful. Lots of useful tourist information in the house. The owners were easily contactable and very friendly. We found Hornsea a good base to see Hull, Beverley and the East coast. Great fish and chips close by!

  • "Thai is an amazing holiday home!"

    It was absolutely spotless and had everything we could possibly need. The garden was lovely and safe and it was great to spend each sunny evening at the lovely outdoor seating area. The owners were so friendly and could recommend places to eat and visit etc, when we asked. The neighbours were also friendly. It’s a short walk to local shops and then a very short drive to a large supermarket. Then in the opposite direction, a short stroll takes you to Hornsea Freeport. Hornsea is a beautiful small town with lots of lovely shops and the sea front was pretty and not overcrowded. We spent many days on the very clean beach as we had 14 days of sunshine. We also visited Flamborough North Landing, Hornsea Mere, Bridlington and Withernsea. We thoroughly recommend staying at Whyte Retreat for your next break! You’ll want for nothing and stay in luxury in a gorgeous area of the country. After two glorious weeks, we honestly didn’t want to return home.

  • "We had a great stay at the Whyte Retreat."

    The property was very well maintained, clean and comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the outside space where we could sit and relax on an evening. Plenty to do in the area, being only a short distance to Hornsea Freeport, The Mere, town centre and seafront. All within reasonable walking distance too. The owners obviously take pride in the property and are easily contactable if needed. We would definitely recommend this property and would stay again if visiting the area.

  • "The house was beautifully decorated and clean, It was spacious and even had garden furniture in the garage to use if we wanted to."

    The transaction and entry into the house was very easy. The only thing was the sofa was uncomfortable to sit on. We liked it enough to book again in September.

    Absolutely immaculate inside and out. All the kitchen facilities and utensils you need. Super comfy beds. Very modern bathroom with great shower. Quality fixture and fittings. Beautifully decorated which runs throughout the home. Hornsea center 15 mins stroll either use the footpath end of street by roundabout or walk straight down then turn right to the high street and the beach. 5 min walk to Tesco for any supplies you had forgotten. You can also get to the beach front by going along the road where the local shops are and also free parking when you get there. I would not hesitate to come back again Highly recommended Thank you Danielle and Chris x

    Lovely furnishings and fluffy towels. The heating was on when we arrived which was very welcome and little goodies left out. All information needed was to hand and the owners left their contact details if needed. Excellent location to all the Hornsea amenities and very close to the fantastic award winning Whiteheads Fish & Chip Restaurant/takeaway. We would definitely stay here again and will be highly recommending this property to our friends and family. Thank you again for a lovely stay.

    Every room is set out so inviting with lovely touches to make you feel that the owner has set it out as if it was for themselves and not just a money making operation. The kitchen was well presented and everything you need for your stay with lots of extras not often found in holiday lets.
