  The holiday was abysmal.

  We are both in our 80s my wife is severely disabled. We arrived late afternoon Friday, unpacked and thought we'd settle in. TV & internet not working, I read the manual . No joy. So went out in the car went for a meal,came back, early to bed. Tried the TV etc, Saturday morning. Still not working Mad a few calls to Sykes , no person to speak to each gave me options to look on line > No internet i texted a message no response, I phoned again eventually clicking a number to discuss buying /selling a property. Succsess a person answered I explained our problem, She said wrong department wait I'll find someone I waited at least 30 mins, no response went to a public library to find a sykes contact n umber where I could speak to someone once again no number other than the ones I had by this time I'm feeling emasculated there is nothing I could do . Sunday I find a phone shop to confirm that my text had been sent yes it had no idea if anyone saw it it is like dealing with mindless robots. Monday ready for home. I try again the number to discuss buying/selling speak to someone who promises to sort something out .About 5 pm the owner rings me and arranges for her husband to visit, he arrives about 7 pm & evevtually gets the TV & internet working. Had there been a number in the cottage in case of any problems, water leaks something not working the holiday would have been excellent. Apart from the trouble & stress and because I hardly use my mobile I am on pay & go usually £5 a month. My useless calls to you cost me £31 I had to put 2 £20, on my phone. Your system of having everything on line is ok when every thing is working but the system needs sorting out . I believe s should reemburse me at least the cost of the phone calls,I'm not bothered wether youpublish my feed back or not.

  This is one of those occasions when you’re actually looking forward to being asked for a review of a holiday accommodation.

  The cottage was in an ideal position in the village, pub and shops a short walk away. The fish and chip shop the Lighthouse with the seating outside was really enjoyable, we were taken there by relatives that live close by and was highly recommended. For dog owners Danes Dyke was just around the corner 5mins by car or you could walk there straight from the cottage. All the walks are within striking distance from the cottage if you like hiking, South Landing, North Landing and the lighthouse, which has a bar and restaurant which makes it a great destination. The walk into Bridlington from Sewerby Hall Park is lovely, as is the Park itself, well worth a visit. Filey is just a short drive away Scarborough about 35 mins and Whitby just over an hours drive. Even if your not into bird spotting, (which I am not) a trip round to Bempton RSPB cliff tops is so interesting with nesting birds everywhere, would definitely recommend-bring your binoculars! The cottage itself is really lovely well maintained and very tasteful. When you arrive the first impression is what a lovely cottage and that the owner is really interested in making your stay a lovely experience. All the kitchen appliances you need are there including filter coffee machine. And there was a nice welcome basket with some treats and a loaf of artisan bread to get you off to great start! Just perfect thank you!

  We had a great fortnight at Harbour Cottage.

  The place was a great base for our family holiday and the town centre location was just what we wanted. It’s only a few minutes’ walk from the town centre, the beach and the harbour so no need to get the car out all the time. We thought the property was good value and pretty much met our expectations. The only negative of any note is the smell of the property when we opened the door. I couldn’t work out whether this was damp or wet dog, or possibly from cigarette smoke. It largely cleared with the windows open for a few days but didn’t make a great welcome. Otherwise, the property was really clean and tidy. It is fairly well equipped, particularly for smaller children who would love the games room. My kids loved the table football but mainly the Netflix! The only important thing missing for us was a hair dryer. We’ve used Sykes plenty of times before and would have expected this to be provided at a property with this star rating. My wife had to go and buy one. Also, the kitchen would benefit from a veg peeler, a potato masher and a grater. We routinely ran out of drinking glasses and a few extra would be good too. All that said, this is a decent, good value property in a really good location, with off-street parking. We had a lovely holiday here.

  The location of the cottage was great, the yard outside was big enough.

  The outhouse with washing machine as great idea. There was a welcome hamper with red wine crisps mini cakes an uncut loaf and Jam. Nice idea, Though teabags and milk would have been a great replacement for wine and cakes. Everyone wants a cuppah first thing. We did struggle with the stairs though as the top was a tiny landing with a steep step down into bathroom. My sister and I in our seventies feel this bungalow is not as suitable for disabilities. Great for families maybe. You can see a lot of effort has been made to restore this old cottage which is a plus.. However my sister has to sleep with a television on low all night, since being burgled. One of the main reasons for booking this cottage. Unfortunately there was no remote for the TV in her bedroom. We looked everywhere. So it could not be used. Also the blinds in the lounge need attention. It looks like a dog or a child has left the slats of the venetian blinds in a terrible state. Not a good look from the inside or outside. We love Bridlington so we will ensure our next break will be a bungalow or apartment on ground floor.

  We have just had a great weekend in this lovely cottage.

  It’s clean and well equipped and they thought of every little touch to make things as comfortable as possible for us. A lovely welcome basket with tea, coffee, sugar, fresh bread and scones and even some dog treats. Milk, butter and jam in the fridge was much appreciated. There were dog bowls and enough toilet rolls for a whole stay. Soap in all the bathrooms and everything you could need. I couldn’t find the bin bags but there must have been some somewhere. My 5 year grand daughter loved the summer house. ‘WOW’ was her reaction to that and to the lovely attic room with the comfiest bed I’ve ever slept in. The bathroom was huge with a big bath as well as a walk in shower. The small bedroom is as the description. Suitable for a child or teenager as there’s not much room to manoeuvre. The king size bed on the second floor was extremely soft and I personally found it uncomfortable but my son was fine in it. Flamborough is a lovely village and the surrounding area is perfect for dog walking. We had a lovely family weekend and will definitely be booking again. Thank you ☺️
