  Lovely comfortable beds, good white goods in kitchen (dishwasher, washing machine, oven, fridge and freezer), good range of crockery, cutlery and pans.

  Smart TV with ability for prime, Netflix, but sometimes TV unresponsive to remote control which was frustrating. Wi-Fi great and I managed to work remotely which was a great help. Great log burner and thank you for complementary wood and coal, a life saver as some of the room heaters didn’t work properly (the one in the super king room didn’t come on at all, the upstairs bathroom one didn’t work at all, the one in the king room was inconsistent,either cool or bakingly hot!) Towels very fluffy but bedding, although comfortable didn’t feel particularly freshly laundered. Disappointing that parking was not directly outside the property, although only a short walk behind on a main road. Owners very responsive to questions, although I felt they were irritated in their response when I asked if there was the option for a change of bedding for the super king (as it didn’t smell very fresh).

  We have just spent a lovely week at Beech Cottage in a traditional village on the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds a few miles inland from Filey.

  It is a very clean and comfortable property in a great location and is a credit to the owners Debbie and Paul who popped round to meet us. Hunmanby is a very friendly village with a few pubs, shops (including a post office) and a chip shop all within walking distance, not to mention some interesting old buildings. The surrounding villages are lovely - we went to Burton Agnes Hall and Gardens one day and walked the clifftop paths at Flamborough Head on a couple of other days. The scenery from the cliffs is stunning and we particularly enjoyed exploring the gannet colony at the RSPB nature reserve at Bempton Cliffs. This is a cottage that we would recommend and definitely come back to at some point in the future.

  Beech Cottage was so comfortable and beautiful.

  Very high spec. Thank you to the owners who were so helpful, loved the apples too ! Comfy beds and sofa's, good showers, great kitchen and range cooker. We bought fresh fish from HG Lovitt 7, Mitford St., Filey. Best fresh fish ever. If you eat fish, a must. Loved Scarborough, Whitby and Museums. Loved Robin Hoods Bay, better not to drive down but walk if you can. It is extremely steep, ok once you get down there but allow for the walk back!. We had lunch in the Victoria Hotel, sitting in the conservatory overlooking the bay. Well cooked food good service. Definitely would return to Beech Cottage if holidaying in the area in the future.

  Family of 2 adults and 2 children with 2 dogs.

  Battery Barn was lovely, very homely. Thank you for the cake, it’s was delicious. Kitchen was well equipped although a grill rack would be a good addition. Sofas were very comfortable and the smart TV great for Netflix. The beds were all amazing with the main bed being the best we’ve ever slept on! The court yard was great to sit in, it was lovely weather during our stay, a parasol would’ve been really handy but we improvised with an umbrella! The barn is in a fabulous location for walks and pubs. We didn’t move the car for the whole stay. Would thoroughly recommend Battery Barn to anyone.

  My late husband, sister & I have stayed in many of Sykes holiday cottages over the years and Curlew Cottage certainly was the best internally, equipment and comfortstyle we have been to.

  The instructions to get there were confusing, no sign for Station road or Carr lane and the fact that access was down a single track lane 2 miles,definately needed a Sat Nav. The Patio area for this cottage was uninviting concrete with tatty view of back of Owl Cottage, sheds and clothers dryers, no grass.The photo of Curlew cottage in your brochure suggests it is a detached building which in fact is the corner of three in L shape complex. The area seems very popular with dog owners, mostly off the lead, which although inside was unsettling for our dogs
