"This was our third time staying at Eric House, definitely not our last."
The house is detached and has private secure parking. There is so much room that you can get some me time. Everything you could need is provided. It is clean and comfortable. Any issues or questions you may have are answered by the owners who are both lovely. Lovely pictures of the area.

"Great house great space lovely location"

"Comfortable, clean and everything you could wish for, private safe parking."
We have been before and will certainly be going back again. Plenty of room for everyone... if you want a bit of private me time there is a lovely comfortable room or the conservatory. The kids want to do some drawing then the kitchen table is huge. Washer and dryer and dish washer what more could you need. In summer there is a lovely private area at the rear of the property. Pub not far.

"We had a very pleasant stay at Eric house whilst visiting my parents who live in the village."
The house is charming and comfortable. I’m sure we’ll be back!
-
"Lovely spacious property, with everything you could possibly need for a great stay."
So many little touches that made our stay lovely, from gorgeous pans and loads of utensils in the kitchen, to lots of games, books, maps and videos, to night-lights on the stairs. Look past the slightly dated furniture and decor - it is the most comfortable place we have stayed!

"This house is one of the best we have stayed in and we loved the conservatory ..."
This house is one of the best we have stayed in and we loved the conservatory and watching the birds and squirrels eating and the ship inn across the road is a bonus as serves great meals, the owner has thought of everything you need and is comfy the only criticism we have is the busy road at some times as can be noisy

"Really enjoyed our stay in Muston, beautiful little village and only minutes walk to get on the Wolds Way footpath to Filey."
Eric House was lovely, very spacious downstairs very large lounge and kitchen all individual rooms with snug and conservatory. ..

"Very good stay, large house, everything in good condition and very clean with all utensils you could possibly need ."
Ideal for visiting Filey and coast etc . Had a meal in the SHIP INN just down the road which was excellent and recommended !! An enjoyable stay which we would happily repeat
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and enjoyed your meal at the Ship. Kind regards Steve and Dawn Property Owner

"It was a lovely break (weather gods aside!"
), nice and comfortable to come back to after a day in wetsuits. My daughter loved the snug for reading and I settled into the conservatory quickly. Lots of hot water for soaks, comfortable beds. A very enjoyable stay.
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay desspite of the weather being less than expected this year. Hopefully, it will improve for us all. Best wishes Steve and Dawn Property Owner

"Second stay at Eric House kitchen update is great, comfortable lounge, smart tv good, wifi good, washing area very good, and bedrooms are very comfortable and spacious, also like the wildlife in the raised outside area and comfortable conservatory."
thanks for a wonderful stay hope to come again. Michael Linda Michelle.
Thank you for your feedback. The kitchen update was definitely needed and we are pleased with it. Hopefully you will be able to return again. Best wishes Steve and Dawn Property Owner

"The pictures do not reflect just how lovely this property is."
Very homely with every facility to make your stay comfortable. The rooms are very spacious and the bird garden a delight. We will be back.
It was lovely to meet you and we are glad you enjoyed your stay. As discussed, there is a regular bus service between Scarborough and Bridlington, via Filey, that you could use. You could also jump on the train close to home and then use the bus to get from Filey should you wish. Look forward to welcoming you back. Best wishes Steve and Dawn Property Owner

"The property was of a very high standard providing everything that we would have hoped for."
Our main diappointment was the location and the closeness to what turned out to be a busy and noisy road. (A1039). The house is only 1-2 meters from the road edge which wouldn't have been an issue if 200-300 vehicles didn't pass most hours. Vehicles included articulated lorries and double decker buses. (Some buses looked to be on a regular route to Scarborough.) On occasions traffic also made returning /leaving the property difficult. The pictures and words in the documention provided did not indicate this issue.

"Really enjoyed our stay at Eric House, we had one little blip which was rectified straight away."
So much room and so comfortable. loved watching the birds feeding along with two cheeky squirrels who came every day. Unfortunately the pub was closed until 27th March so couldn't have a pint and a meal without driving. We had a meal delivered from Filey through Just Eat and it was excellent. We would definitely use Eric House again and recommend it to others.
Glad that you enjoyed your stay and the birds and squirrels in the garden. Shame that the pub was closed for their holidays but glad you were able to get food delivered. Best wishes Steve and Dawn Property Owner

"Lovely cottage in a great location to explore North and East Yorkshire!"
A home from home with everything you need and more for your stay. Comfortable beds made for a great night's sleep and the off road parking was an added bonus! Fantastic wealth of information in the welcome book and wicker drawers full of leaflets! The Ship Inn recommendation was spot on - amazing food in large quantities and friendly staff who treated us no differently to the locals! The fire wood and tea/coffee supplies were just what we needed after a long drive. Would definitely recommend - this place was spotlessly clean and we would definitely stay here again! Thanks for a lovely stay!
Thank you for your great feedback. We am so glad it was spotlessly clean as during January, it definitely wasn't, as we replaced the kitchen and decorated the snug. We shall pass on your comments to the pub too. Hoping we can welcome you back in the future. Best wishes Steve and Dawn Property Owner

"Eric house is a spacious yet cosy and welcoming holiday home."
Excellent facilities . Real wood burner a lovely feature and welcome pack a real winner Location is perfect for coast and country .Muston is a beautiful little village Would recommend and return
We are glad that you enjoyed your Christmas stay and have booked a return visit already. We look forward to welcoming you back. Best Wishes Steve and Dawn Property Owner

"Eric House is a large detached house in the lovely village of Muston."
The back of the house overlooks Muston Hall but the garden is well screened off for privacy. Although it is on the side of the fairly busy road, once inside you don’t notice it. The decor is rather dated but what it lacks in style it makes up for in comfort. Someone clearly takes pride with the cleaning and on the whole the house is well kitted out with very comfortable beds. Good pub across the Road and very close proximity to Filey. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay as felt right at home. Would definately stay again. No real negatives, as suggestions, maybe a few more drinking glasses in various sizes and possibly a reading lamp in the snug!
We are glad that you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for the positive feedback. During our refurbishment during January, we took on board your suggestions and have provided some more glasses and a reading lamp in the snug. best wishes Steve and Dawn Property Owner

"Thank you Steve and Dawn for another wonderful stay at Eric House."
We enjoyed the house even more this time as we stayed in each evening after our trips out during the day when the weather was kind. The location of the house is brilliant for visiting both the coastal resorts and inland villages.You have thought of everything to provide a home from home holiday and the decor/equipment and maintenance is first class. The welcome gift was very much appreciated and delicious thank you. Of all the holiday accommodation we have stayed in over the years, Eric House is the best and we are looking forward to visiting again in 2024. Best wishes, Stuart, Sue and Philip.
Hi all, We are so pleased that you had another fantastic stay at Eric House and that we have maintained our standards since your last visit. We look forward to welcoming you back during 2024. You are most welcome. Best wishes Steve and Dawn Property Owner

"This is the second time we've visited this house."
Its absolutely amazing. One of the best Sykes houses we've used. It's the perfect base to travel around Yorkshire: Filey, Scarborough, York, Whitby. The house is immaculate and has everything you need! Would highly recommend.
Thank you Joanna, It was lovely to see you as you arrived. The feed back from your children in the visitors' book was so cute. Glad you had another good stay. Hope you choose Eric House again in the future. Dawn and Steve Property Owner

"This is our second visit to Eric house."
We had a lovely time once again. The house was beautiful and clean. The house is really spacious. Thank you once again
You are more than welcome, Corrine. Hopefully the weather wasn't too bad for you and you managed time on the beach. Hopefully you may visit again. Best Wishes Steve and Dawn Property Owner

"Just had a wonderful stay at Eric House."
It was in a brilliant position to venture around the area. Amazing facilities in the house, the owners had thought of everything you would need in your own home. Thank you for an amazing holiday
Thank you for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and had a great holiday. kind regards Steve and Dawn Property Owner

"This was our second stay in this fabulous house."
Extremely well equipped and very clean. Nice welcome back gift and card left for us. Across the road from a charming pub where the locals and hosts made us feel very welcome. This house lacked nothing and we will definitely be back next year! Weather slightly disappointing after the heatwave a couple of weeks earlier, but didn't stop us walking along the beach every day. So relaxing, I wish we could live here! Thank you.
You are more than welcome to return again, Adrienne, and found that we have maintained the standards at Eric House. Wish we could guarantee the weather but sadly not. Property Owner

"An excellent base for our family get-together and to meet up with friends from when we lived in the area 30 years ago."
Eric House provided EVERYTHING that we needed. It was very comfortable, clean and well-appointed in all areas.....from kitchen/diner through outdoor seating, indoor lounge/TV room, library room and the three roomy bedrooms. Cannot recommend highly enough. We had a superb week.
Late reply, but thank you for your feedback. We are glad that you found Eric House comfortable and clean, and managed to catch up with friends during your stay. Perhaps you need to catch up again sooner so we may see you again. ;) Kind regards Steve and Dawn Property Owner

"The house is an excellent base for exploring this part of Yorkshire, very well-equipped, good temperature control (but see below), clean and comfortable."
Good-sized kitchen/dining area and spacious lounge, while the snug is a nice bonus. Bedrooms decent-size with comfy beds. Bathrooms also roomy. There is good access to Filey and/or Scarborough for things like shopping and entertainments. We arrived in a heatwave, so the aircon was extremely welcome, but we later proved that having multiple sources of heating/hot water was also a good idea when the immersion failed. We were able to turn on the boiler instead. Thanks to Steve (owner) for his help in sorting this out. A couple of small points: for young children (i) a stairgate would be handy, and (ii) the single bed's design is potentially hazardous for a child--travel cot (available) would be a better choice. All in all, a nice house that worked well for 4 adults a 3-yr old and a baby. Many thanks!

"Although brief, we greatly enjoyed our stay at Eric House."
Everywhere was spotless and the provision of milk and tea/coffee facilities by the owners was much appreciated. It's a lovely place and the interest provided at the back by the birds and squirrel was most entertaining. The house itself has an excellent layout across the rooms and it is in very good condition. Our only concern was the road outside which carries so much traffic and perhaps your website should mention that the house is located next to a very busy road. We'd certainly recommend Sykes for bookings and we feel that Eric House is a lovely place to stay!!

"Brilliant home from home within easy reach of all the local attractions."
Brilliant parking and a great little garden
-
"Yet another winner from Sykes Cottages."
If I could have marked Eric House with an 11, I would have done !. It is a cozy, comfy detached house, outside Filey. It is walkable to the beach via a well established hedgerow walk in about 45 minutes, but we learned to park up in a layby opposite the windmill ( just by Filey's 30 MPH sign) that saved us 20 minutes each day. Filey is old fashioned, and has many green spaces and park benches, and has an air of Georgian gentility. Our excursions were to Pickering ( steam train ), visits to Scarborough, where we found free parking for three hours by the harbour, and many steps and walkways up the hill to St Mary's church, where Anne Bronte's grave can be found ( street parking for two hours there ) A trip to Bridlington turned out to be a bit of a let down, though. Back to the house - the parking area was big enough to drive in, turn around and drive out, but I will say the road was busier than I expected. I especially liked the chimes of the church bell throughout the night, and the dawn chorus from the rookery in a nearby copse. Country sounds that add to a country cottage holiday. Only thing missing was a wall clock in the lounge. Have to mention a nearby pub called The Piebald , famous from ' Four in a Bed' some years ago. Famous for the 52 types of pie available. Did not make it this trip, so I will drool over that menu until next time !

"Spotlessly clean and a cosy property in a lovely location, perfect for explored the beautiful area."
Lovely touch of essentials in the property for our arrival.
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad that you found the house clean and cosy and had a good holiday. The area is beautiful but we may be a bit biased too :). kind regards Steve and Dawn Property Owner

"This was a lovely cottage."
I could have moved in and lived here! Everywhere was spotlessly clean, all the appliances worked, and there was enough crockery, utensils and cook ware for whatever you wanted to do. The little garden was a delight and we saw more goldfinches in one day than I have seen in the rest of my life! Sat in the conservatory watching them every evening while I waited for dinner to cook. Owner was friendly and helpful. We texted and he always replied quickly. Nice courtyard for parking. What more can I say? I would go back tomorrow!

"We have had the most wonderful stay at Eric House."
The property is beautifully presented throughout and everything we could have wished for was provided. We were so lucky to have brilliant weather which allowed us to sit outside and watch the different types of birds coming to feed. All 3 of us were sad to leave and we are hoping to return later this year if availability allows. Thank you so much to the owners of Eric House for making us feel so welcome and comfortable.
We are very pleased that you had a wonderful stay, and managed the good weather as a plus. There has always been a fantastic selection of garden birds and I love to watch them too. We hope you do manage to come back later in the year. You would be most welcome. kind regards Steve and Dawn Property Owner

"Really appreciated the little things that were provided like tea, coffee, sugar, milk and hand wash, would recommend"

"Eric House was easy to find and was warm and welcoming when we arrived."
Heating easy to adjust. We had a very comfortable short stay, as there were on 3 of us. Easy access to Filey and the coast. A shame that we did not have time to try out the local pub just across the road - maybe next time. Our only criticism is the lack of crockery and the size of the cups/mugs. There are only 2 larger mugs and the rest are small. We ended up buying another from a charity shop. There is a dishwasher and we did manage, but if there had been 5 adults, the lack of crockery means you would need to wash up after every meal. Extra plates etc would make a massive difference to the whole experience.
Thank you for your feedback, Pauline. We are glad that you had a good stay and found the house warm and welcoming. We have put in some larger mugs and additional crockery as you have suggested. kind regards Dawn and Steve Property Owner

"We've stayed in a few Sykes cottages over the years and this is up there with the best."
Spacious, clean, warm and with everything you need. The house is lovely. Games books and some great photographs displayed on the walls. We used it as a base and went to so many places close by. Filey, Scarborough, Bridlington, Whitby and Hull.
Many thanks for your wonderful feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay. Dawn and Steve Property Owner

"We had a really fab week at Eric house."

Very spacious, well equipped and very clean. Couldn't fault it. Lovely pub across the road with very friendly locals. Five minute drive into Filey. Ample space for parking in its own private courtyard. Would definitely stay here again.

"The listing was extremely accurate and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay."
All of the basic essentials were there, the property was lovely and clean, very spacious and there was ample parking. The outdoor area was beautiful and well maintained. We really have nothing negative to say. It took us 5 minutes to drive to the beach and there were supermarkets locally. We were given all of the relevant information in ample time. We would absolutely stay again, thank you

When dinner is served, settle down at the dining table or if the weather is warm why not venture outside into the garden to dine alfresco?
As the sky grows dark, retire inside and unwind on the sofa in the sitting room and flick through the Smart TV for a film night in and when eyes grow heavy, climb upstairs and indulge in a soothing soak in the bathroom or rinse your worries away in the overhead shower.

The seaside resort of Filey, where you can soak in the coastal sights from Filey Beach, tee up at an expansive golf course, throw a blanket down to enjoy a picnic at Crescent Gardens or visit the animals at Filey Bird Garden and Animal Park.
Head to the traditional seaside town of Scarborough, where you can stroll along the promenade with fresh fish and chips, marvel at marine creatures at SEA LIFE, or if that's not for you, unveil the past at Rotunda Museum or Scarborough Castle.
Dalby Forest and Visitor Centre are great for walking and cycling and the ability to Go Ape in the treeline, and go to The North Yorkshire Moors Railway to experience life on board a steam train from various points between Pickering and Whitby.
Find Boggle Hole, only a mile along the beach from the picturesque village of Robin Hood’s Bay nestled right on the high water line and Whitby, the birthplace of Dracula, across the North Yorkshire Moors.
RSPB Bempton Cliffs is only a 10 mile drive from the door, with the impressive headland and lighthouses at Flamborough being only a few miles further along the Heritage Coast Walk.

If walking is your preferred mode of travel, directly from the village, join the Wold’s Way or Centenary Way or complete circular walks to Gristhorpe, Hunmanby, Filey or Speeton, where you can marvel at the whole of Filey Bay from the Brigg to the white cliffs of Bempton.
For a much-needed escape to the North and East Yorkshire coastline, the Yorkshire Wolds and Moors, whisk your loved ones to Eric House.

Where you’ll be staying
FILEY
Scarborough 7.7 miles; Bridlington 10.5 miles.
Filey is a traditional English seaside resort with a friendly atmosphere, offering a restful holiday, making an ideal place to stay for walkers and wildlife watchers at any time of the year. A real gem on the Yorkshire coast. A fishing town on the North East Coast, Filey has enjoyed a reputation of being a resort since Victorian times, set beside the magnificent Filey Bay, a long stretch of beautiful sand, with Filey Brigg and its shallow rockpools to the north. Filey Brigg is a low headland that protects Filey Bay and provides good bird watching and seawatching opportunities all year round. The 400 ft high Bempton Cliffs (RSPB Reserve) to the south of Filey Bay are home to over 250,000 seabirds in the summer. Gannets, kittiwakes, puffins, guillimots and razorbills all nest there. Gannets are regularly seen diving for fish in Filey Bay. The Brigg area is an ideal place to watch for common and rarer waders, seabirds and migrating warblers,finches and thrushes. As well as seabirds, seals and other marine life, such as porpoises dolphins and minke whales can be seen in the sea around the Brigg. The town itself seems almost caught in a time warp, retaining much of its character with individual shops, narrow paths and ginnels. There is a small coble landing, a slipway where local fishermen keep their boats, plus delightful beach chalets that can be hired through the summer months. The bay is edged with two promenades and there are various gardens, where brass bands play on a Sunday afternoon. This small town is family orientated, crazy golf and candy floss. Also in Filey there is the Filey Dams Nature Reserve, a wetland reserve where common and rare waders and wildfowl can be seen as well as autumn gatherings of swallows, sand martins and house martins. Also there is Parish Wood (just off Sycamore Avenue) an unexpected gem that offers a wealth of wildlife. Willow warbler, chiffchaff, blackcap and tree sparrows breed there and a wide variety of other species are regularly seen such as great spotted woodpeckers and sparrow hawks. Parish Wood also provides shelter and food for a wide range of migrant bird species such as goldcrests, pied and spotted flycatchers, warblers, finches, thrushes and woodcocks. A short drive brings you to the busier town of Scarborough where for family fun you can visit the Alpamare Waterpark, a waterpark unlike anything the UK has ever seen before, as well as plenty to explore and discover in this lovely area.
