“General cleanliness very poor.”

Property wasn't cleaned on arrival. We had to do the cleaning ourselves to make it habitable. No remote for TV. No hanging space in general for clothing. No cupboards in the en-suite and only one shower for four adults not a great start every morning. And cheat to say that if the property needed a deep clean people would be charged. Think the owner need to start taking notice of customer comments in there book and think you should check the properties that you are advertising. Won't ...

“Shower to on suite, totally unacceptable,.”

a simple washer and shower head would have solved this. Décor to Bathroom needs updating as does the flooring. Grout heavily stained.. Water to property is fine unless you operate/use the bath at the same time as sink tap, which means the sink tap wont work for hot demand. Evening of second night Consumer board tripped out on switching a light on, did this on four occasions,...couldn't get hold of anyone so had to rectify myself, No hanging area for on.suite bedroom for clothes apart from a normal coat hook x 3, Lighting problem needs to be sorted as keeps tripping out. Back door sticks and is difficult to open at times and to lock. Only One tv to the whole 3 bedroomed cottage which isn't viable if you have children or a second couple staying in this cottage. The good things are the view the kitchen is good, and beds are ok. Was a great shame as it looked great on the outside,

“Great little cottage in a quiet village.”

Local amenities not too far away, 10 minutes to an Aldi or Sainsbury’s. 20 minutes to a park and ride into York, very good prices. Beautiful views, and nice country walks available. Lots of activities nearby, we had 4 children with us and managed to visit Eden camp, the Yorkshire air museum, Jorvik, Clifford tower and spent two days at York’s Viking festival watching re enactments and live history events. Kids loved it and so did we, I would highly recommend this as a place to stay.

“The view was really lovely, really enjoyed our stay, would definitely go back there again.”
Mrs Hopkins July 2018

“Great location - peaceful setting yet only a short drive to Pocklington, which is a lovely little town with all the amenities you need.”

Everything we needed was in the cottage. We would consider returning in the future -thank you for a lovely few days.

“Access to property useless for wheelchairs or people with restricted mobility ...”

Access to property useless for wheelchairs or people with restricted mobility entrance steps too high needs a ramp, struggled getting my wife into and out of property nearly dropped her out of wheelchair getting up steps nearly went home if son had not been with us to help we would have gone home next day

“We had booked the Parlour at Yapham and when we arrived and viewed the cottage everything was as decribed.”

Unfortunatly the boiler developed a fault.On phoning the owner he came around within 10mins,checked the boiler and said we could be moved to another cottage, this was a 4 bedroom property on the same site and was very much larger than the Parlour.Trevor the owner was great and when we were leaving he was having a new boiler fitted to the Parlour cottage.Yapham is only a small village but the scenery is great.Would highly recommend our stay.

“The property was very comfortable and warm throughout the week we were there during what was a cold snap in terms of the weather.”

So it was nice to be able to return to the property after a day out to a warm environment. The kitchen facilities was something that we welcomed. Especially having the dishwasher and fridge with separate freezer. We were able to fit all our food stuffs in the fridge without a problem. The property was easy to keep clean, and there was plenty of parking space available for our 2 car family. We were grateful to be able to spend time with our extended family who have two dogs and struggle to find accommodation to house the dogs too. We were pleased that the property had good wifi connection. We did feel a little cut off from things as the shops, restaurants, coffee bars and pubs were not within striking distance. However it did make it clear in the information about the property the distance to shops etc. The area was lovely surrounding the property with lovely views. I'm sure our stay would have been even more enjoyable had the weather been a bit kinder.

“The heating in the cottage failed on two occasions.”

.the owner did call on an engineer to fix the problem this was very inconvenient for us as the first time was over night and it was a particularly cold night. The toilet in the en suite after 2 days failed to flush. There were no saucepan lids. Although the description for the cottage says bathroom a shower over the bath would be better. More hooks would be good. The main problem was the heating.
Mrs Harris November 2017

“The cottage was very clean and comfortable.”

Great location and amazing views to the back of the property.
Mrs Clough September 2017

“Very important to have a place for drying walking boots & wet clothing.”

At a minimum a clothes horse / drying rack . Hooks on the bathroom & bedroom doors also important. The cottage was excellent & facilities good. Beautiful views.
