The location is praised for its convenience to the town centre, parks, and seafront. However, some guests mention road noise and parking difficulties, which slightly affects the score.
The property is described as comfortable, warm, and roomy, with comfortable beds and a homely feel. A few guests suggest improvements like double glazing to mitigate road noise, but overall comfort is rated highly.

Elizabeth House was located perfectly. spotlessly clean on arrival, fresh flowers in all the rooms and a generous welcome pack greeted us. The rooms were a good size and had everything we could possibly want or think of. Free parking on the side street and having taken 2 cars we never struggled to park up. We were able to reverse up a small rear drive to unpack. The area was perfect for exploring - 2 local parks (with playgrounds)for early morning dog walks. 15 minutes stiroll through the town to the sea. Excellent variety of interesting shops. The sea front was clean and dog friendly to the right hand side. 3 pubs and an excellent war bar on the doorstep. The Italian was great as was Mas Indian. The Mere was beautiful and we did the 10k walk around it. We explored and would recommend Spurn head ( no dogs) and Flambourgh head . The fish & chips at the lighthouse in flambourgh village were amazing, though Lilys in the town were also very good. A super week , fabulous house, friendly helpful owners - highly recommend
