We found the cottage clean but small .Small front garden but certainly not completely enclosed as dog got out through large crossover beams in gate and through big gap in neighbouring garden .The owner never spoke to us apart from pointing out car park round back , at start of break and did we need cleaning agents to give an exit clean at end of break.Second day of week break we got text message not to leave dogs in cottage during our holiday at all so had to rush back from Scarborough to take dogs with us on every outing even although temperature was high wee kept car windows open .It spoiled our holiday as not a verbal rule but texting rule. I would definitely say NOT dog friendly but WILL ACCEPT DOGS .Bedroom back window had lots of unhealthy mould growing on both sides, good fields to walk pets freely available and half hour from bridlington but overall a low score from us the two recycling bins were 3/4 full of cardboard leaving a quarter to try n recycle ♻️ won't be back with this one , hope this helps anyone with pets
