"The house was great in a lovely spot but unfortunately the fridge freezer was not working which was remedied fairly quickly with a new one."
Also the shower in one bathroom was broken. Overall this did not deter us from having a good time.

"Although we really enjoyed our holiday at this property and felt at home, there are points to consider when booking."
It is not suitable for people with mobility issues and has a lot of trip hazards.
The cleanliness was average as there was cobwebs and dust about. The bed was extremely uncomfortable.
A lady came and asked if she could look around the property. This made us feel uncomfortable during our stay.

"What a great space Sea Haven is…see other reviews, which highlight any small issues which the owner responds to with kindness and honesty."
The view more than makes up for any niggles…remember to take tablets with you if you want to use the dishwasher.
Very happy holiday with my elderly parents (with slight mobility issues) and dog. I will definitely head back there again if we get the opportunity. Thank you for sharing your home.

"Sea Haven is fantastic, the outside seating and views are brilliant, it is well equipped and was perfect for our group with two dogs, plenty of space, one small criticism would be the sofa's the springs have clearly gone and when you sit in them you sink making it difficult for less able people to get up out of, other than that perfect."
Oww my goodness . There are 3 sofas , I had no idea that the springs had gone in any of them ! As nobody has mentioned this to me and I must admit I’m always too busy to sit down when I’m there. I’ll ask the housekeeper to investigate! So very sorry about that, I hope it didn’t spoil your stay there too much . Thank you for letting me know .

Lovely location could do with better information in the booklet it was trying to work out how to use some of the things in there
Oh I’m so sorry you were having difficulty with something in there. If you could contact me with what it was , I can address this for you, my contact details are in the book, I just wished you had spoken with me. I hope it didn’t spoil your enjoyment of Sea Haven. It’s such a haven for wild life and watching the world go by.

"This property really is like home from home."
It has everything and more. It wasn’t our first visit and won’t be our last. It really is beautiful. The weather had its moments but when the weather was lovely it was nice to open up all the sliding doors and just sit and enjoy the view. So relaxing, we didn’t want to come home.
On our return home we did realise we had forgotten something. We managed to contact the owner who was more than happy to help us, locate our item & arrange for its return to us. Which is very much appreciated.
All in all a fabulous place with lovely owners.
Thank you so very much!!!

"Book with caution."
The heating did not work. It was in a lock box I could not access. I complained to the owner via text. They said they would come round, I asked them not to. To my shock and horror 3 hours later, without knocking they entered the property using their key. There was no consent for this. She said "oh I thought you were out as there was no car". She did not fix the heating and I was left feeling unsafe that at any point she could just enter. Sykes cottages have been no help at all. The place also has a smell of damp especially in the small bathroom. The fixtures and fittings have seen better days with alot of damage especially in the bedrooms. Was also quite dusty. The view is beautiful but with an overbearing owner and a tired look I do not recommend at all.
Thank you for your feedback , so sorry that I attempted to fix the heating for you so promptly, and that we both had a shock when I entered. I did knock!! I couldn’t leave you without heating even if it was for the last day of your two week stay.
I accept everything is not brand new but it’s loved and lived in and most guests seem to like it that way.

"Stunning location."
Stayed with my elderly mum, 2 children & 2 dogs. Very comfortable to spend some down time to watch the birds and listen to the sea washing onto the beach and look out over the ocean. It was very warm whilst we were there but the set up of the house picks up on any sea breeze to keep everywhere very pleasant. The walk to the beach is pleasant although it is a very very steep hill with no car access. The beach got very busy until late afternoon early evening but soon emptied when the tide turned. The beach is still accessible at high tide. We had a lovely BBQ, then used the coals to utilise the massive fire pit for a very pleasant evening toasting marshmallows. The showers were superb with loads of hot water. Comfortable beds although being allergic to feathers I would have preferred to know before hand then I could take my own duvet, it was soon sorted as no duvet was needed on this trip. We had a few little dislikes but nothing that would stop us returning. When I booked, the listing was headed with hot tub, we found it empty and a ‘keep off’ sign on it! The listing also needs to explain it is not accessible to all, the steep drive, very steep/deep steps to different levels of the outside space and uneven floors inside caused a few problems for my mum with mobility issues. There are stickers saying FOR OWNERS USE ONLY around the house which we found a bit annoying. All in all we really enjoyed our stay. Our dislikes were more personal niggles and nothing that would stop us returning in the future.
Thank you for your feedback. I’m so pleased you enjoyed your stay at my home. Just a couple to things I’d like to point out for future guests.
The duvets are NOT feather, so no problem with allergies here.
Sykes accidentally listed my home eith use of a hot tub but soon removed it and informed all guests who had booked. I’d love to let guests use it but it’s soo costly to drain and reheat after every guest, I decided against it. Plus staff to check the chemicals daily for health and safety reasons. Just not cost effective. I put keep off to stop children climbing on it , not to be offensive.
Owners use only is for the overhead projector. Previous guests have used this and damaged the screen. So I don’t allow use of it now sorry. I might even just remove it.
The only other item is my dryer. You’re welcome to use the washing machine though!
The steep steps are roped off , but the lower garden can be accessed by walking around the outside of the decking, should you wish to go down there. I do hope that didnt spoil the enjoyment of the garden or view for your Mum.
I will get Sykes to mention the one shallow step between the kitchen and sitting room though , and that the floors are flag stone , with rugs so a little uneven.
I’m pleased these issues wont stop you returning with your Mum. My parents had mobility issues too , so I totally understand. They loved to come and watch the ships go by and listen to the birds. It was their very special happy place.

"Sea Haven is a beautiful property, in an excellent location."
The view is amazing.
We had a fantastic stay and caught up with friends staying in Filey and friends who live in Bridlington. Our children also discovered bodyboarding at Cayton Bay, Filey and of course Hunmanby Gap.
The property had everything we needed and we had a bbq on the first day and enjoyed the view.
Rex, our black Labrador, had the best holiday, with walks on the beach and time with his pack.
Overall, we had one of our best weeks away in the UK, the weather was great and the property was stunning.
Thank you for your lovely review. I’m so pleased you came and made happy memories with your family . After all that’s what life is all about!
My dog loves the long expanse of beach. Even if it’s busy in the car park at the top, it’s not when you get on that beach.
An ice cream on the way down, just is the icing on the cake for me!
Hope you return soon .

"What a great property for our 3day weekend break with grandchildren and our cocker spaniel."
Filey beach is only a few minutes away. The house was spotless and very comfortable with multiple seating and dining areas inside and out, with tremendous views to the sea. The enclosed rear garden was ideal for our dog although it was clear she preferred the beach.
We hadn’t been to Filey before so booking the property was a bit of a gamble but it paid off as the house was ideally placed for exploring the area. Definitely highly recommended.

"Beautiful property in a fabulous location with a view to die for!"
Everything was perfect, it was spotlessly clean, comfortable, well equipt a real home from home. It’s a 5 minute walk to a gorgeous little cafe and 10 minutes to the stunning dog friendly beach.
We definitely recommend and will be back!
I’m so pleased you enjoyed your stay, and thank you for leaving such fabulous feedback. You’d be welcome back anytime with your lovely pouches !!
