  Had a fab week at Carignore.

  House has great views of the beach and towards the Abbey at Whitby. Brill sunrises and moon rises each day. House is well equipped with mostly all you would need. Could do with a bbq area and a grill pan in the kitchen grill. Living room sofas and chairs were not very comfy and rug in living room could be a trip hazard ( just wouldn’t stay in place). Bed rooms all comfy and slept right through every night. Upstairs could do with decorating following a leak in the main bedroom but we were warned about this prior to our stay. Owner very helpful and owned next door so was there for the first 2-3 days of our stay. Parking on site could be an issue for a nervous driver- we found ir best to reverse part way up the lane to park But there is parking in the village if you don’t mind a walk to the house Village itself was lovely. Pub doing food and a few cafes and a fish and chip takeaway/restaurant. No local shop to get daily bread, milk etc. Beach was busy most days and part dog friendly. Would stay again if we were inclined to travel that far again. 6-7 hr drive for us. Thanks for a great week……

  The property is in need of some repairs.

  The showers don’t work well. Downstairs toilet and shower is not working right. Mouldy shower upstairs. The radiators were thick with dust. I could hardly breathe in there as I have mild asthma which was made worse by the dirty radiators. The blinds are all dirty. The curtains should be black outs to help sleep. The couch downstairs was not very comfortable. The kitchen is basic and functional but very old and tired. Glass broken in internal door. Big Mirror upstairs in single bedroom is just placed on the chest of drawers. My daughter was closing a drawer and the mirror nearly smashed on her, that mirror needs putting on the wall for safety. The hair dryer is probably 30 years old, it’s rubbish. The carpets feel old and dusty. The gate is old and rotten and the lock has rusted off. The beds were comfortable and the linen and towels were clean. The views are amazing and the proximity to the beach and restaurants of Sandsend is perfect. House just needs a major refurb, it doesn’t feel like anything’s been done for 20 years.

  Pro’s - location, garden to sit out, parking.

  Con’s - house generally not clean, garden / driveway unkempt, house shabby in general and not well looked after; eg previous reviews April 23 and May 24 note issues still not rectified (bath panel / plaster above radiator in bedroom). Property really needs total refurbishment to bring up to a level where it can justify the current rental price: indeed, we have now booked a property nearby for the same week next year, better location and recently renovated, for a lesser amount. Unless the owners are willing to invest in improving the property, I think Rigg Cottage will struggle to compete with others on the market. Also during our stay, there were two properties next door but one either side undergoing building / extension work, so the street was busy and noisy with workmen from around 7.30/8.00 in the morning, and overlooking the garden in the afternoon, so not ideal. Will not be returning, sorry.

  Property was dirty on arrival all cups glasses and bowls had to be washed before use as were covered in hair and dirt.

  Bedroom two had a leak from the ceiling when the toilet was flushed. There was a lot of hair all around the property. The sofas were covered in dark throws which were also covered in hair and didn’t look like the photos at all. It looked generally tired and a bit neglected with weeds in the front and rear garden and the bathroom tap leaked if it wasn’t turned really tight. Radiators were really dirty and there was no wardrobe to hang clothes - the chest of drawers for your clothes was in the kitchen rather than the bedroom and you had to inch your way around the bed as the bed was too big for the room which made getting ready a bit tricky. We didn’t report issues as just wanted to get on and enjoy our stay as best we could without people having to come in and fix things. Sandsend was really beautiful, great beach, places to eat and friendly people but I wouldn’t stay in this property again.

  We enjoyed our stay at Rigg Cottage, it was a cosy cottage and not far from the beach.

  There were a few problems mainly around the TV, which was not working on our arrival on Friday. We contacted you and you sent the engineer on Saturday. He managed to get it working and left a remote control he had in his van. He advised that he would inform you that the TV would probably need replacing. On Monday the TV would not work again so we spoke with you and you sent the engineer again. He managed to get it working but said theses were ongoing problems. In terms of the cottage welcome book it advised that all instruction manuals were in the one drawer in the dining room but on checking, there were none in the drawer, so no help with any devices! The book also said there would be a starter pack of logs in the shed but we could not find any. The cottage did have great blackout blinds and curtains in the bedrooms which were very good. A lovely little cottage.
