What our customers say about their holidays

  The property is beautiful and centrally located.

  The beds are supremely comfortable (so much so that four of us have decided to buy the brands we slept in). The kitchen table is without a doubt, superb. The adults stayed in the kitchen the entire time. Kids used the lounge, but ate with us in the kitchen. Perfect seating for 10 in the kitchen; we definitely all had table envy. The kitchen is well equipped. Though we had a hiccup with the Hive heating system from our second day, the owners went out of their way to get us electric heaters for each room and supply us with more wood and firelighters for the wood burning stove in the kitchen, as well as get a plumber booked in as soon as they could; so we remained comfortable and they handled the problem extremely well. Parking was not an issue and the alley at the back of the property was the best place to unload the cars. When we couldn't find the cutlery because the kitchen is so posh (!) (in the hidden top drawer of the large drawer with the cutting boards), the manager we called was very friendly and accommodating. The South facing rear terrace was a suntrap, allowing some of the more hardy souls to sit there and take the sun when it was 10 degrees (but felt like 17 in the patio). The skylights in the kitchen were wonderful, adding tremendous light. Indeed the whole house was bright, cheerful and impeccably and sometimes humorously decorated. We loved it and have no hesitation in recommending this property. One word of caution with Sykes Cottages website - when you do a search for specific dates, the dates that may arise for booking may not be the dates you put in when you go to book - be very careful about this, as even if you notice the mistake immediately after booking, they will charge you extra. Subsequent look at their reviews suggests this happens to a lot of people so was not just a one off. I have not marked this property down for this because it's not the owner's fault, but rather, Sykes Cottages website. So, while I would most definitely book with this owner again and this house (or any other houses this owner may have on offer), I would be cautious when booking through the Sykes website, take screenshots before booking etc. Finally, the house is not one for serious mobility issues, as the bedrooms do require going up at least one steep flight of stairs. That said, there is a toilet/shower downstairs, so you would only be required to go up and down once in a day and the banisters do help - thus, it was not a problem for me with moderate mobility issues.

  We had a thoroughly enjoyable week at number 25 , with our 2 spaniels .

  The gardens front and rear were totally enclosed which was brilliant. We have stayed in many places where they advertise the garden as being enclosed but in reality they are not which is a total disappointment. Because it was early March we couldn’t sit in the gardens, but the sunshine streamed into the kitchen and dining area and it was warm enough to have the patio doors open.The rear garden is secure , private and pristine. Also the front garden is raised and if it had been a little warmer we would have enjoyed a coffee with the view to Peasholm Park. On arrival there was a super welcome pack for us humans and treats for Zara and Bella our spaniels . Also 2 doggy fleeces, a towel and dog bowls to use during your stay. So many interesting walks from the doorstep….and the beach just a ten minute walk away. As you get to the beach there is Taylor’s bar and Kitchen. A super place, great staff, lovely food and dogs very welcome. Also a 2 minute walk from the house , an excellent fish & chip shop ,the tastiest ever . We can’t recommend number 25 highly enough and will definitely return. Many thanks for making our holiday perfect.

  This is an amazing holiday home.

  The standard throughout is excellent. The beds are all extremely comfortable, the welcome pack was brilliant, the location is ideal. Communication with the owners was effortless. They were readily available and genuinely dedicated to ensuring our stay was as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. The standard of cleanliness was impeccable. We enjoyed the log fire and the comfortable lounge, including the lovely view over Peasholm Park. The kitchen was well equipped and the dining room was ideal for family meals. Although our stay encompassed January and February – the property was warm and cosy. There are lots of very thoughtful touches throughout the property – the owners have genuinely tried to think of everything. This holiday home stands out as one of the best we’ve had the pleasure of staying in. We would have no hesitation in returning.

  Glorious stay at 39 West Street.

  Amazing house with plenty of room for the 9 of us for a family celebration. Sue was brilliant at responding to any queries we had! Beautifully decorated. Comfy beds. Kitchen well equipped, took our own airfryer which helped cater for 9 people as we enjoy cooking up a storm in the kitchen. Coffee machine was enjoyed by all! Oil filled radiators kept all toasty on floors 1 and 2 and plumber visited on same day when we had a plumbing issue. Great jaunts out to Stephen Joseph Theatre, Escape Room Scarborough, Whitby, York, Robin Hood Bay, Rowntree Lodge on West St for an amazing brunch and fab fish and chip supper from Ramshill Fisheries. In a lovely quiet area of Scarborough with town centre just a 15/20 min walk away and we made use of Cliff Lifts when needed. Thank you Sue we so enjoyed our stay!

  We were celebrating a surprise birthday weekend for my husbands 60th everything was perfect all the rooms were beautiful and very comfortable with plenty of very modern bathrooms or en suite’s.

  It had everything that was needed all the little extras like games even in the garden. The kitchen had everything we needed for our number, we ate with everyone round the kitchen table, was pleasantly surprised with a nice bottle of bubbly and the use of condiments and cupboard stores very thoughtful of the owners also all the doggy bowls and cleaning products made it very dog friendly. The lounges were very comfortable with enough seating again beautifully furnished after our long days walking we loved going back to such a beautiful home which we felt it was, not just a house. We will definitely be booking up again. It was a well suited property for our party of 8 adults and one dog and easy parking. Many thanks from Sally and all the family.
