"This was my second visit and I'll definitely be booking a third - it's so hany for everything: best dog-walk ever!"
, good local walks straight from the cottage, short drive to beach, forest or supermarket.

"Very basic accommodation."
Unclean floors, skirtings, oven and toilet. Mould on bath, worn and torn carpets, hot tap in bathroom didn’t work. There is a church nearby whose bells ring on the 1/4 hour, half hour and hour all day and night so no sleep. We booked for a week but came home after 3 nights. Would not return.

"Kitchen light switch in hall has failed."
The hot water tap in bathroom sink runs at a very very low trickle & stops, quite a problem have to use the shower head to fill.
I know you cannot do anything about this but the Church bells ring every 15 minutes all NIGHT keeping us awake it's like a Chinese torture. Lol. Would be beneficial in the future to fit a shower but did know there isn't one. But overall a lovely place & village, the food & drink at the plough is wonderful only a 5 min walk. Would stay again if had ear plugs. Lol. JB.

The place was ok
The grill pan was dirty and had food bits all over it, it was not cleaned out from the previous people
Considering the times we are in now and hygiene being top of everybody's mind to be met with this was disappointing
the floors were dirty in all rooms

"Lovely little cottage, had everything we needed."
Lovely little village with two pubs serving wonderful meals. Close enough to reach all coastal destinations with Scalby Mills seafront close by. We were left to enjoy our holiday by our hosts which made the cottage feel like our own home.
Defiantly hope to be able to stay here again.
Thank You.

"It would be good to know whether the fridge has a freezer compartment because then you can plan the food shop before you get there."
We also didn't know there was Wi-Fi from the description. It could do with a new carpet on the stairs and I felt that the mattress on the double bed was abit uncomfortable. The sofas also felt a bit worn out and could do with upgrading.

"The directions need to be clearer at the end, i."
E. not just "down Church Hill and the cottages are in front of you" because they're not exactly - what is in front of you is a road junction and no idea which way to turn, so...... "down Church Hill, turn left at the junction and the cottages are on the right".
Other than that, the cottage could not be faulted and the location is ideal for driving a short way up into the forest for miles of lovely walks or down to the beach at Scalby Mills (dog-friendly all year round). Also a short walk to the well-stocked village shop and a short drive to Proudfoots supermarket. Perfect! Definitely worth a return visit.

"Due to Covid 19, the communal areas in the complex were unavailable, the tumble dryer and the garden which are both shared between the three properties were not in use which was unfortunate."
these measures would have had less impact had some of the chairs been placed just outside the door but instead this area was given to two large wheelie bins to each property, I would suggest that the bins be relocated to the garden together with a washing line for each property.
The complex would have benefitted enormously by some nice planting and some weeding as the outside area did not reflect the pleasant interior.
The property was very clean and welcoming, the bedrooms were comfortable and nicely appointed. The bathroom was nice but the bath was on the small side, the facilities would have been greatly improved by fitting a proper shower either instead of the bath or just an over-bath shower would be great.
The kitchen was lovely but unfortunately, there was no room for the storage of food in the cupboards and not everything can be stored in the fridge.
The sofas in the lounge were a bit too low and a bit tired and lumpy and a few more pictures on the walls would have been nice.
The little complex was located in a very beautiful area with a stream running alongside the pavement and a little bridge featured in the scene together with a lovely church and stone-built cottages.

"While the cottage met our basic requirements, I must take issue on your description of the facilities."
There was no mention in your description of the bathroom and toilet that it was downstairs. As 80-years-olds there is an almost obligatory visit to the loo during the night, and navigating the very steep stairs in the middle of the night was not good at all. Also the hand held shower was a big let-down and not convenient to say the least. Also the question of price! Our neighbours at No. 3 Low Hall Cottages paid around £450 for a two-bed two-bathroom ground floor cottage against £750 for No. 1 which seems quite disproportionate. Also I must reiterate other occupants of these cottages, that in this day and age surely wi-fi is must.

"The cottage was fine and in a good location."
The village is attractive and the pub and hotel seemed popular though we didn't use them (had small child with us). The cafe/restaurant looked good too but useless to us as it closed at 4pm!
Back to the cottage, we were very comfortable there but it really does need a shower, or at least a shower curtain to use with the hand-held one.
It was a bit strange not having a personal contact there but this was not a problem.

"It was difficult to find as the post code wasn't recognised by sat nav."
Really enjoyed the place. Mark was most helpful and made us feel welcome. Very quiet area and good for dog walking. Within easy reach of the coast . A couple of minor issues. The bath could do with re grouting and the front blind in the spare bedroom needs some attention. I have read horror stories from people who have used other companies, so I wasn't sure what to expect as it is our first time with Sykes, but I was pleasantly surprised. An added bonus was that you could sit outside and hear local concerts from the outside theatre in Scarborough, and we loved hearing Nile Rodgers!! Would use Sykes again. Thank you for a fab week. It was our Ruby Wedding and our dogs birthday while we were there, and this holiday was also a celebration after I had a life saving operation earlier this year!

"The cottage itself was reasonably comfortable but the main factor was that we were lead to believe it was all on one level."
I thought, at first, that we had got the interpretation wrong but the guests in No. 2 were of the same opinion. My wife has limits on her mobility
so rather than lose the holiday, we made compromises during our stay to counteract her inability to climb the stairs.
Regarding the accomodation, we felt the 'facilities ' were sparse. Just four knives, forks and spoons; limited crockery which meant
the constant need to wash up to get enough to eat the meal. The decor was also sparse... one picture throughout, one vase but no flowers (not even Plastic)
and no easy chair..just the 'functional' two seater couches.
The setting would make it a great place with just a few inexpensive extras. Again 'sparse' comes to mind

"The cottage is in a lovely quaint village which has two dog friendly pubs and a shop."
It is the perfect location for visiting Filey, Scarborough, Whitby and Staithes. The cottage itself is currently lacking in information and a few personal touches (maybe a vase of dried flowers and a couple of ornaments). It could do with a WiFi connection, some holiday leaflets and a visitor comments book. We had no idea when the heating would be coming on/going off and only found out, by speaking to the painter at No 3. The heating is apparently on constantly set to a certain temperature! Just a couple of minor tweaks would give this cottage a 10/10. However, currently I would say it's an 8 1/2 out of 10. I have to add though, that it was immaculately clean.
