“Great house with all we needed and in a great location to explore Scarborough amd North Yorkshire.”

...

... Weather fantastic which was a bonus

- Mrs Newbury, September 2020
“Cleaning standard generally high, but at least one prominent cobweb still on display.”

Lock on small gate was not operating and so we had to wedge it shut. Generally, however, we enjoyed our time at the cottage. The downstairs bedroom and facilities were very nice for a disabled guest.

- Mr Walker, August 2020
“The Coach House is in a good position, shops nearby and a nice walk to and from South Beach.”

The accommodation is as spacious as we hoped. The beds were comfortable (this is very important!) and so were the sofas in the living room. Everything works well in the kitchen area. The bathrooms, showers etc and the hot water system are good. There isn't really any sort of garden, the front yard being taken up by parking for our two cars. It was important to reverse in, you can't turn easily in the yard and you don't want to reverse out. We tend not to repeat holidays - there are too many different places to see - but if we were to go back to Scarborough we'd certainly consider the same accommodation. I think there is an issue to be solved with the water supply tripping out, and the positioning of and therefore the access to the reset switch. If this is made more straightforward I would consider the Coach House to be ideal holiday accommodation.

“We had a fantastic stay at The Coach House.”

The property exceeded our expectations and was perfect for our family group. It was exceptionally clean on arrival and was very well equipped. The owners have done a lovely job making the property super comfortable and we loved all the little extra touches such as the fairy doors and the glitter paint. The only suggestion we would have would be to fit a handle to aid getting out of the bath as we found due to the shape of the bath it was very tricky to get out once you were in! All in all we would love to return to The Coach House one day and we would definitely recommend to friends. Thankyou Sykes cottages and the Owners The Sterling Family

“New Year”

Had a lovely week in this charming home for the New Year. Lovely home with lots of little touches including pixie doors! Clean & tidy & well stocked with everything we needed. The welcome package of fizz & biscuits were a lovely treat. Lots of information available on how to use appliances and helpful local information too. Plenty of room for 6 adults plus! Lovely and warm. Location is spot on. Easy walk down to the beach and lots of shops etc nearby. Would definitely recommend and would definitely return! The owners are very friendly and keep in touch to ensure everything is fine. Thank you for a lovely week!

“We had a problem with the downstairs bedroom electrics but the owner, when contacted was very helpful and the problem was resolved.”

The downstairs bedroom has very limited hanging space for clothes and there was no hanging facilities in the little twin bedded room.

- Mrs Swain, August 2019

Thank you for your kind comments about the coach house and for letting us know that you had a problem with the heated towel rail, which we were able to repair promptly. Sykes owner relations
“The house itself was big enough for large family but unfortunately the cleanliness let it down , it was extremely dusty , windows were dirty , i actually cleaned sitting room and kitchen ones myself as Well as mirror .”

The sofa in lounge had a musty smell which hits you as soon as you enter property and its extremely uncomfortable. We found a false nail and other bits on floor in kids room , also under bed in main bedroom , there was no sign of beach in either bathrooms . And all tops in kitchen had to be wiped down there were footprints on tiled kitchen floor (looked like a mans boots) overall property is overpriced for the standard it was presented to us, as a result we decided to leave a day early ! ☹

- Mrs Pattie, August 2019

We are very sorry to have fallen short of our usually very high standards. We took immediate action regarding your comments about the sofa, which we found to have broken springs, this is now fixed and the cushions have been refilled. The living room carpet has also been replaced. We are disappointed that you did not contact us during your stay about your concerns as we would have arranged for an immediate reclean.

“This cottage was lovely i cant complain about anything about the property, the only drawback for us was the walk into the town centre, it was about 25 mins walk and we had ederly parents with us, but a taxi was less than a fiver.”

This is the second time we have stayed with Sykes cottages and will be doing so again.

- Mr Bramhall, June 2019

Thank you for your comments, we are sorry to hear it took you 25 minutes to walk into town from the coach house, it is possible that you took the very scenic but slightly longer coastal route, the more direct route is less than 1km and takes a maximum of 10 minutes to walk into town. We have provided full details of a range of walking routes in the guest information pack. Sykes owner relations
“Pretty perfect”

A cosy little house with comfy beds, a small but well equipped kitchen and a snug lounge for relaxing in. Everything looks gorgeous and is decorated to a very high standard. A lot of love has obviously gone into making a beautiful home. There is a large selection of toys for kids and lots of lovely books for grownups. Our party was made up of two mums and five kids and it was a perfect base for a great holiday. You can walk to the beach or into town within 20 minutes and there are shops 5 minutes walk away. It is equally easy to drive out of town to visit the coast. We had great days out at Cayton Bay to the south, a rainy day at Bridlington leisure centre, brilliant for children and very reasonably priced, and Scarborough sealife centre.

“The house was immaculate, comfortable, well equipped and well located.”

- Mrs Gill, March 2019
“Thanks for an excellent residence by the coast for our family xmas break.”

- Mr Greaves, December 2018
“Very well equiped house, everything you could need.”

Well placed for shops and beach. Very comfy beds. Only negative, we had three cars but once parked there is no where to sit outside.

“Lovely House, Great Location”

We (4 adults and 2 children) stayed here for a week at the end of June into July, and had a lovely holiday. The house was very comfortable - enough bedrooms, bathrooms and space for us all to fit in well. There was a nice big table in the kitchen which we used for a jigsaw, as well as for eating the fish and chips from the local chip shop (only a few minutes away), and the kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed for the occasional burst of cooking - mainly breakfast pancakes for the kids, or a microwaved meal. The dishwasher was very practical and a good size, and while we only used the washing machine once, it was useful to have. The living room was very comfortable and the TV had a dvd/blu-ray player, and a selection of films - very useful for entertainment in the evenings, although we'd brought some of our own too. The wi-fi (which had a good, strong signal) was particularly appreciated by the children, who are keen minecrafters and like playing online together, and it was also practical for finding out what was on in Scarborough and getting reduced price tickets for the Sea Life Centre. One bedroom has a wall-mounted TV which suited the member of our party who likes watching her soap operas, and since the rest of us aren't keen, she was able to watch in peace while a film was on in the living room; everyone was kept happy. We all found the beds and pillows very comfortable, and the high-quality cotton bed linen was great, as were the towels supplied. We also all loved the shower in the wet room. In short, we were very happy with it, and were extremely comfortable. We very much enjoyed the outside garden area. While the weather wasn't quite good enough for us to sit outside with a G&T every evening, we were able to do so a few times, and it was lovely. The plants are very nice and the gates ensure a real sense of privacy. There was plenty of room for two cars as well, which was a bonus - no trying to remember to put out the parking permits in time. The house is in a lovely location, only 5 minutes walk (if that) from the main road with Sainsbury's, the chip shop, a pizza takeaway, a pub, several cafés, and pretty much everything you need. It's only about ten minutes on foot from the cliff lift down to the Victorian Spa on the South Bay. We bought our weekly passes on the first day and got our money's worth going up and down. It's a daily delight not to have to climb up the stairs to the top! Similarly, it's only about 15 minutes to the main shopping street on foot across the bridge. And of course the children wanted to go to the amusements after dinner; with a cliff lift pass, not a problem. We had a great holiday, and are already in the process of sorting out a week next year. Thanks very much.

“Fab House”

We had the best week in this house, plenty of room for all 6 of us. the Wi-fi was a huge bonus with 4 teens. Comfortable furnishings and the cottage is lovely and clean felt like new. We would have struggled without the new wet room so this is a fantastic addition. Only a 15 minute stroll to the beach. Handy local shops just round the corner. The secure parking was a God send. We only used the cars twice all week which saved a small fortune in parking. Highly recommend this cottage.

“Home comforts and cosy”

My family and i were so excited to be going on holiday as it was our first holiday for around about 7 years. The coach house did not disappoint at all. Our children, even though they are teenagers excitedly ran through the house deciding what bedroom to have. When we arrived there had been milk and cream cakes left which was very welcomed indeed. The upstairs bathroom has a low sloping roof that my daughter and husband had to be aware of so chose to use the downstairs wet room which was a big bonus. We used the cooker pretty much every day, the fridge was abit wobbly if you had 3 large cartons of milk in it. There was more than enough crockery and cutlery, but could do with a few pint glasses for my husbands bitter, but he managed (bless him)!!! Excellent selection of dvd s books games. Possibly a little further from the town centre than we thought but 2mins down the road was a mini sainsburys pizza hut , coffee shop, chemist. The cable car/lift to the beach is a 5 minute walk and costs 50p-£1 and cuts out alot of leg work as scarborough is very hilly. Peasholm Park is a good place to visit as is Flamingo Land. On summary our first family holiday for 7years was FABULOUS and would not hesitate to re-book , finances permitting. Thank you. .

“Lovely, clean, homely cottage with great facilities in a great location resulting in a fabulous family holiday!”

We had a great time staying at the coach house in Scarborough. Even though it was February the sun was shining most of the week. The cottage is within walking distance of the beach and shops. As soon as we walked into the cottage we were greeted with a lovely bowl of fruit, wine and welcome card. Added to this there was milk in the fridge and tea and coffee. The owners were great at contacting us prior and letting us know instructions to get in etc. and very helpful. The cottage has everyone you need. It is lovely and modern and very homely. There were 4 of us staying,my husband and I and our 2 children and we had lots of space. Great kitchen with ample facilities including dishwasher and washing machine, which was useful having small children. The bedrooms were a great size, beautifully decorated, really comfortable beds and lots of storage. I did not want to go home to my own bed! There were plug in lights/torches on the landing which was so useful at night with young children, I even ordered myself one when I got home. The bathroom the only aspect to the cottage which may cause a problem for some people. There was not a proper 'stand up' shower due to sloping ceiling. It was not a problem for us at all, I just made the most of having a bath every day! The owners are in the process of possibly adding a downstairs shower room which would be a great extra. You can easily park 3 cars outside in private courtyard. Great knowing your car is safe as gate locks from inside. Area was quiet on a night, we weren't disturbed at all. Overall a fabulous cottage, we enjoyed our week so much that while we were there I was already trying to book again. Will plan to return later in the year. Thank you for a lovely welcome and great accommodation, great family holiday had by us all.
