Fab week with the our family of 12. Beautiful house and location, very rural and quiet. Nice to have the use of a hot tub, kids loved it! A couple of things that would have been useful were an airfyer, plastic plates and bowls(for kids) and a washing line as the clothes aira wasn't enough for all the wet towels. Other than that, the house was very well equipped and comfortable. Definitely will miss the view and the tranquility of the place, very calming and peaceful.

Ladysmith is a great place to stay if you are a big group and like peace and quiet. Although it’s in the middle of farmland , it is only a short drive to Leven or Brandesburton where there are good little supermarkets. Good Tesco at Hornsea. The house was very comfortable and Heather was very welcoming. A nice walk to the nearby River Hull Which is popular with paddle boarders. Just remember to stay off the farmland as the local farmer is quite strict, quite understandably. The dogs were made welcome.
