  We found a runner on the stairs would be useful for safety reasons, especially when wearing socks.

  Quite slippy, and not safe for the elderly, or small children. The water pressure in the bath and sink taps is very low, and it takes an awful long time to fill the bath. The shower in the upstairs bathroom would benefit from a shower door, as water soaks the floor by the toilet, when in use. The plug hole in the master bedroom shower needs unblocking, as the water does not drain away well, and fills the shower tray, to the point of overflowing. The basin in this en-suite is far too small, even to wash your hands, and water is splashed on the floor. No soap dish in the en-suite shower for people who like to use their own specific soap, and no shelf to put flannels etc. on. Non slip mats in all showers and bath would be useful, as we slipped in the showers more than once, when soapy water was on the shower tray floors. Also we had a very small child in our party, who again, found it very dangerous without a non slip bath mat to sit on. The step out to the patio from the bi-fold doors is very steep, and makes it difficult to get in and out for people with mobility issues, and for small children, who, if they accidentally fell out, could seriously injure themselves on the concrete patio floor.Maybe some large steps, or a small ramp would be a good idea. A door mat inside these doors would also be useful, as you are coming straight in from outside, onto the nice living room carpet. The taps in the kitchen could do with replacing, as they are quite rickety. Two light bulbs in the main living room chandeliers need replacing, and the fireplace does not work at all, and one or two days during our stay, it would have been nice to have had some warmth, as the weather was quite chilly at times. We therefore had to put the main heating on instead,which we thought was a bit excessive.

  Beautiful house in a great location.

  Spacious, light and super clean, this was a perfect location for our family of 8. The welcome pack on arrival was much appreciated and we quickly settled in to our lovely home for the week. We had issues with connecting to the WiFi but on contacting the owner, someone was quickly sent over to help us. The only thing missing was a guide on bins (recycling vs general) and other information such as how to use the oven etc. However, there was a handy file on local places to visit which was helpful. We continued to have some issues with the WiFi but the family games provided were a great distraction for the teenagers in our group so it worked out well! Beds were comfy, garden was spacious with a summerhouse/games room that the kids made full use of and a great view from the large window in the living room. We all enjoyed the house immensely and would highly recommend staying here - and the pub at the end of the drive was very handy! Thank you for a lovely stay.

  The house was lovely and there was plenty of room, even a games room in the garden.

  The kitchen was very well equipped with all the crockery/cutlery/ cooking implements you could possibly need. There were TVs in nearly every room. There were two sitting rooms, both very comfortable, lots of cushions in the smaller one for making dens. I had enquired from Sykes Cottages about highchair and travel cot, to be told they weren’t available but they were actually provided - that would have been good to know as they take up a lot of space in the car. There were a couple of minor issues which we left a note about: upstairs shower tray not draining properly and same en-suite door sticking. There were workmen next door who started around 8am so that was slightly irritating to anyone having a lie-in. We had a baby and toddler in the party so most of us were up by then. All in all it was a very enjoyable stay and we knew the owners were next door if there had been a problem. We would definitely like to go back there again.

  I gave this 5 stars because there was very little that could be added to make the stay even more perfect for us.

  I loved where it was positioned on the holiday park - it was so quiet and peaceful. We loved watching the rabbits in the morning and evenings. I stayed with my 19 year old daughter, and 14 year old son (who turned 15 whilst we were there). It was perfect for us because we didn't want to use the park facilities particulaly, only the fish and chip takeaway, the ice-cream place and the Nisa mini-supermarket. We thought it could benefit from some big spaghetti bowls and some side lamps. Apart from that it was perfect. A big and comfy seating area. Comfy beds. Generous supply of tea and coffee. Soft bedding. Car parking right next to caravan. And great to be between Filey and Scarborough, so we could visit our family and friends! If you have younger children I would highly recommend the park facilities, of play ground, swimming pool and much more!

  Absolutely fantastic!

  Every basic need was accounted for- we holiday frequently in vans around this area and this is the first time most of the gear we take for day to day life was supplied(still used our stuff for the majority but it really was appreciated). Van was spotless on arrival,instructions clearly marked and easy to follow- not a single complaint nor even a minor niggle as far as the van goes- kids were a tad disappointed at the site wifi signal strength and restrictions(but thats on Parkdean,not the van-they really need to modernise their system!) but this was the tiniest of things-most other sites have no wifi at all so they made do when required.Cannot recommend this van enough,nor praise the owners for everything-made our break even more enjoyable. Awesome,fantastic,brilliant,beautifully kept...11/10 stars..
