    only criticism is we could have done with a welcome pack detailing the cooker instructions, central heating, tv etc otherwise all good

  • Alyson

    We adored how spacious it all was, and so much storage space for our stuff. The kitchen space particularly had a real wow factor. And we even saw the Northern lights from the top bedroom! There were no issues parking, was a great location for exploring the area, with some that could be done on foot and some with very very short drives. Also good facilities around us. It’s a gorgeous area, we explored all round Flamborough head and beyond. Couple of tiny issues, a power failure which was very quickly resolved as soon as we contacted the owner, and a slight fault with the top sections of the dishwasher. Nothing that was a problem and we would go back in a heartbeat.

    Bed and sofa very comfortable, large tvs and fully equipped large kitchen. The house was very clean. Flamborough is a great base for exploring the surrounding coastal areas which are quite stunning.
