Wagtails

Wagtails is superbly located, a very short walk to the beach and cafe facilities.

It is very well presented and has 99.9% of everything you need. Condition of everything is good. It is a pet friendly property and if you are scrupulous about pet hair then think about that. There were inevitably traces left when we arrived. The neighbours are lovely and very helpful. Parking is perfect for 2 cars but the road does get filled by day beach parkers so manoeuvring past them requires care. The back yard is a great asset for alfresco dining and open air drying. There is plenty of hot water for showers. The internet can be a little temperamental.

Really lovely house.

Couple of the beds were a little uncomfortable and some of the windows didn’t open. But apart from that the property was amazing. Very spacious and just a few minutes to the beach, cafe and pub! Very friendly neighbours and the dog loved the garden space and the beach!

Lovely spacious house, clean and comfortable.

Downsides are you cannot seem to get normal tv channels, a couple of light bulbs weren't working. No welcome pack, milk, tea bags etc which would have been a nice gesture.

Wagtails is a lovely property.

It is beautifully decorated, has all the facilities you need and is well-maintained. The location - 5 mins walk to the beach and cafes - is excellent. It was just perfect for a seaside holiday with our extended family. And it is great for young children, with the sun room and enclosed garden making a great space for relaxing while they play.

Wagtails is minutes from the beach, several lovely cafes for lunch, and excellent pub and some lovely little shops.

The house is very well maintained, beautiful conservatory and patio. We loved it so much we have booked for next year.

A lovely house, exactly as described.

Perfect for our family gathering or 3 couples, 2 children and an infant. Short walk to beach, cafes and lovely pub. Sea views from some windows and even saw the deer in the field at the rear. House was warm and cosy. Instructions in the welcome book, for the car fire in the lounge, are not correct, (needs an extra click anti clockwise once the pilot light has lit) we got it working makingvthe lounge cosy at night. Bedding and towel all lovely and beds comfortable (:note to a hand towel left in the downstairs toilet would be a nice addition. ) Lovely welcome pack on arrival. We will be back. Hopefully we will he back.

A lovely bright and spacious house in a great location.

Very clean and comfortable. Very well equipped. Minor point; we couldn’t get the gas fire to work and there were no instructions so were a little cool in the evenings in the sitting room. Otherwise, pretty perfect!

A very beautiful property with plenty of space and wonderful welcome pack .

Decorated to a high standard . Good position close to the sea frost . All that being said . The house keeper had left dirty towels in the cupboard in the main bathroom . The extractor fan in the downstairs bathroom did not work ..THe light did not work above the mirror in the down stairs toilet . The light out side did not work .And it would have been nice to have some heat as was very autumnal First floor bedroom at the front also had a stain on the carpet which was their when we arrived . But we loved the property . If all the little things had been attended to, the property would have been have scored a 10 . Thank you for allowing us to stay and enjoy the beautiful your home . PS THE BABY PIGEONS IN TREE NEXT DOOR WERE GROWING DAILY XX

We had a fantastic week at Wagtails, really lovely cottage in a really lovely area, clean, comfortable & well equipped.

Friendly neighbours, very close to the beach & cafe, highly recommend, many thanks.

Fabulous stay, our issues from our stay in April were all addressed the property was spotlessly clean again.

Beautiful house in a fantastic location.

A wonderful cottage for a family or group of friends.

Spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and practically seafront. What more could you want? Highly recommended.

We had a couple of minor issues - these were resolved, by visiting tradesmen, within a couple of hours.

Excellent service, from all involved… We’ve already rebooked for next year - I think that says it all!

The house was beautiful, very well equipped and in a lovely quiet location, the welcome pack was very much appreciated 10/10.

House was spotlessly clean on arrival and was perfect for both us and the dog, would definitely visit again and recommend to friends and family .

Wagtails is a lovely comfortable cottage by the sea.

A beautiful, clean and comfortable property.

The location is great and the views from the conservatory are lovely. A fantastic holiday!

This is our 2nd time staying at wagtails.

The first stay the property was spotless and without fault in October 24 hence we booked again for Easter and also August this year as the property is in an ideal location, beds are so comfy and it’s spacious enough to fit 6 adults 2 kids and a dog.. This time however - we arrived and the floor hadn’t been hoovered properly, and I then discovered a hoover filled with dog hair and sand, with no hoover bag, and a broken handle . I rang Sykes straight away and was on hold for 20 mins before I got hold of anyone. They then sent back the house keeper who was a little confrontational saying she had hoovered top to bottom, that the hoover was rubbish. At this stage hoovering again with a broken hoover seemed futile so I told her to go whilst we waited for a replacement which arrived about 6pm by this point I had to feed my children and get them to bed so I did the hoovering myself. When I went upstairs it was evident the rooms hadn’t been dusted properly- thick dust on the bottom shelves of the bedside cabinets, on the wardrobes, dead flies behind the blinds on the windowsills. By this point it was 7pm and my parents were arriving in the morning to stay so again I cleaned it as the lady on the phone had said there was no housekeeping on a Sunday. I have taken videos if anyone at either Sykes or Yorkshire Coastal cottages wishes to see. Next day we discovered the waste disposal was broken so water wouldn’t drain from the sink and the bins had not been emptied at the front (council issue) and also under the sink in the property. Queue another 2 phone calls on hold for 15 mins so I gave up. We did miss a courtesy call back from Sykes on Sunday as the reception is poor in sandsend but when I tried to return the call again on hold so I gave up. You don’t go on holiday to be listening to hold music, we have 2 young kids so it’s full on with activities. This house is beautiful, comfortable beds, in a wonderful location, has the kindest neighbours, spacious, great decor and ironically very easy to clean! It just needs some TLC and a proper deep clean to get it back to where it was. Please owners leave a decent hoover and mop for your housekeepers! And also leave some cleaning products for tenants to use whilst we stay. Also Sykes- if you insist on only allowing us to check in late on a Saturday it would be helpful to have housekeeping available on a Sunday. We as tenants find it uncomfortable to complain and then have the person you are criticising turn up. Also sort your helplines out, the wait time is unacceptable.

Could not fault the house, it was very comfortable, spacious and well appointed.

it was well equipped especially the kitchen.location was very good and the Hart inn right bon your doorstep was brilliant.A very welcome stay with xmas decorations as well thank you

Very clean and tidy property.
