I booked The Hive purely on location, and having had a fairly recent hip operation wanted to be able to have amenities within walking distance as part of my exercise. Your write up is therefore incorrect: "a short walk into the village you will find a popular pub serving delicious home cooked food"; the landlady hasn't served food since she has run the pub for a year. "A village pub and bistro walking distance"; I am not sure which pub this relates to? The Gardeners Country Inn is within walking distance just off the A165 but unfortunately the path runs out, and there is no-where to safely walk other than on the grass verge of a busy 60mph speed limit road.On booking a property, you rely on accurate up-to-date information. If this had been the case I probably would not have booked due to the personal reason given above allowing us to park the car up for a couple of days and walk. Instead, we drove the 25 miles to Bridlington to eat out. Therefore, we are understandably disappointed. Having said that, the property and village were lovely, The Duke of York pub were extremely accommodating, and the Lazy Bean cafe was spot on.

This is a beautiful holiday cottage which is spotlessly clean and very well equipped, having a dog with us and being able to use the fences and gated field which is right outside was an added bonus.
