We had two very pleasant weeks at Kittiwake House. Flamborough is a great location - lots of walking and things to do, and the weather was fantastic. We liked Kittitwalk House, especially the large lounge open to the rafters. We also appreciated the lack of carpet - we found the tiled floors downstairs and wooden boards upstairs so easy to keep clean. The owner was very helpful.We did have a few issues. Firstly, the kitchen wasn't particularly well stocked. EG good cutting knives and more than 4 teaspoons would have been appreciated. Secondly, the GF ensuite shower cubicle stood nearly a foot off the floor which meant our elderly mother could not safely shower on her own, but had to be helped in and out of the cubicle, which she hated. Lastly, the property was advertised as suitable for pets, and it was. But on arrival there is a big notice saying pets are not allowed upstairs - but this restriction was not mentioned in the advert and we strongly feel that it should have been mentioned as we would probably have chosen a different cottage had we known in advance. We also didn't understand the need for the restriction as there was no carpet.

Excellent cottage in great location. Very spacious for family of 6 and dog. Plenty of bathrooms and toilets. Living room excellent size (no pics hence booking- shame as best bit of cottage). Easy parking and access. Short walk up track to sea and south landing. Great value- would definitely return.

Went OK after three days of freezing and getting wrapped up with quilts heating wasn't working owner's tried there best to put it right..in end after speaking to the owner and asking her to bring us some plug in radiators to keep us warm in the living area she went out and bought some. then electrician was in checking yearly checks which we found intrusive then learnt fire service was coming in to pass safty checks 😡 felt this could have been done while no one was renting the cottage but we stuck with it for the kids holiday....I felt after the inconvenience the owner could have offered us maybe a weekend for nothing but nothing was offered...
