Guests say
Reighton House is a well-received holiday cottage, praised for its spaciousness, cleanliness, and excellent location. Guests enjoyed the ample room for large groups, the well-equipped games room, and the property's proximity to beaches and local attractions. The garden and barbecue area were highlights for many, contributing to a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
The majority of guests found the property to be beautifully clean, with clean bedding and towels. However, a few guests mentioned issues such as a shower tray not being clean and a strong smell in the kitchen, suggesting room for improvement.
The property's location is highly praised for its easy access to beaches and nearby towns like Filey, Bridlington, and Scarborough. The quiet village setting and proximity to attractions like Bempton Cliffs and RSPB Bempton make it an ideal spot for holidaymakers.
Guests found the property very comfortable, with warm and cosy bedrooms and plenty of toilets. Some guests, however, mentioned that certain mattresses were uncomfortable and that the living areas could benefit from additional warmth and lighting.
Facilities like the games room, well-equipped kitchen, and garden were appreciated, but there were several mentions of maintenance issues such as broken games equipment, inadequate fridge space, and the need for tech upgrades. The AGA not being available for use was a specific disappointment for some.
While some guests mentioned a Christmas hamper, there is not enough consistent information about thoughtful gestures or gifts to provide a score. It should be noted that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed and may vary.

The Christmas hamper left for us was a lovely touch. The games room is a perfect place for the children to play and gave them plenty of space to play with their Christmas presents. The kitchen is very well equipped providing everything you need including an air fryer and slow cooker which we werenât expecting. The heated tray was very useful on Christmas Day. There are two fridges, two freezers and lots of empty cupboards for storage. The bedrooms are comfortable and the showers in the en-suite rooms are excellent. The garden would have been a lovely safe place for the children to play in had the weather been better. The house is situated in a lovely quiet village with Filey and Bridlington within easy reach. There is a small playground in the village too. The three generations of our family had a great Christmas at Reighton House and would happily return there in the future.

We cleaned the fridge but suspect something may have died behind / under it. There was a lack of detailed instruction within the property and things like the extract cooker hoods didn't work, the juke box didn't work, the pool table kept jamming etc. There is no point in advertising facilities if you cant use them. The property itself is lovely, but needs some attention in terms of maintenance. Its clearly designed for holiday lets, and as such there was no clear facility for recycling, but all said and done we still had a great weekend
