What our customers say about their holidays

  The Old School House was a lovely property that catered for our holiday needs.

  It was clean, well presented and comfortable. The welcome pack - containing both essentials and treats - was a lovely touch and Michelle was very pleasant, checking we had arrived safely etc. The size of the sitting room was comfortable for three people but I imagine could’ve been a squeeze of four people were staying at the property; there was one small double sofa and a large single (like a 1 1/2 person) armchair. Perfect for small kids but but teens or adults may have struggled somewhat. The location of the property is fantastic in terms of walking distance to most amenities in Scarborough, which was great, although there were a few nights where locals were heard arguing / shouting in the street, late at night. The parking situation is on-street parking but this was not an issue and we seldom didn’t find somewhere one the street to park; the parking tickets issued by the property were welcomed. There seemed to be a log of dog faeces on the pavements surrounding the property; although I appreciate this is nothing to do with the property, it does detract from the overall pleasantness of the property / the locality. Overall a fantastic holiday property, priced about right. Thanks for making our holiday an enjoyable and comfortable one. Many thanks!

  Sykes were very helpful in sourcing options that met our needs and we’re available at short notice.

  The team were very attentive and the booking process was very quick and simple. Following completion of our booking, the owners provided us with a very good welcome pack via email. It gave a great oversight of what we could expect on arrival and they were also very helpful with anything we needed during our stay. The caravan itself was brilliant. Very new, clean, comfortable, and well kitted out with everything you could need. The outside space is amazing if you get good weather. The site is in a good location, easily accessible on the main road between Abersoch and Pwllheli, and central to accessing all areas of the Llyn. In the centre of the site there is a big grass area and kids park/activity area which kept them busy. The booking included access to The Warren site. Amongst other facilities they have heated outdoor pools and a small soft play area for kids which was a bonus given the bad weather we had. The beach is lovely and easy on site parking makes it ideal. We would highly recommend and would definitely go back again.

  WE'VE STAYED IN MANY SELF CATERING HOLIDAY LETS AND HAVE GENERALLY FOUND THAT THE QUALITY OF THE ACCOMMODATION REFLECTS THE HOLIDAY, WELL WE HAD A FANTASTIC WEEK IN KINGSWEAR. THE APARTMENT HAS STUNNING VIEWS, WITH BI FOLD DOORS WHICH OPEN ONTO A BALCONY WHICH OVERLOOKS THE MARINA AND ONTO DARTMOUTH AND THE NAVAL COLLEGE. THE APARTMENT IS VERY WELL EQUIPPED AND WOULD APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN VERY RECENTLY REFURBISHED WITH QUALITY FURNITURE AND FITTINGS. THE BEDROOMS ARE A GOOD SIZE, WITH A WELL SIZED EN SUITE TO THE TOP FLOOR AND BATHROOM TO THE LOWER FLOOR. THE APARTMENT COMES WITH A PARKING PASS TO THE NEARBY MARINA, ONLY FIVE MINUTES WALK IF THAT AND ABOUT FIVE MINUTES TO THE FERRY. A DISCOUNT CARD CAN BE PURCHASED ON THE FERRY WITH PRELOADED 20 OR 40 PASSENGER TICKETS AND ALSO SEPERATELY WITH CAR TICKETS. YOU CAN GET THIS ON THE FIRST PASSING SO ITS WORTH KNOWING IN ADVANCE AS THE DISCOUNTS ARE WELL WORTH IT. OVERALL WE COULDN'T FIND FAULT AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND BOTH THE APARTMENT AND STAYING IN KINGSWEAR.

  There are few reasons I did not give highest grading. The property is beautifully appointed and has stunning views however: There was no welcome pack at all not even a bottle of milk or a loaf of bread which is very unusual in self catering accommodation. There were no replacement toilet rolls - we had to buy these There were no dishwasher tablets at all When we arrived we expected to find a parking pass but I had to ring to find out why there wasn’t one as we had requested this and given our registration.. Apparently this done virtually with the owners of the car park. This is fine but we hadn’t been informed of the fact. Had we arrived any later the office would have been closed and we would have payed for parking over the weekend. These things are minor I know but I would have given full marks to every question had these things been covered. I would be interested in hearing your comments as this would determine whether or not I book with Original Cottages again

  The Old School House is a brilliant place to stay.

  Full of charm, immaculately decorated and spotlessly clean. A relatively easy walk down onto the seafront of South Bay. Parking is on a first come, first served basis but we managed to park outside the cottage every day, without any problems. We had a problem with the wi-fi on day one but the owners Tim and Michelle sorted it out immediately. The local market hall is worth a visit and does a lovely full English breakfast for £2.30. Best breakfast in Scarborough. A day in Peasholm Park, with a bag of nuts, feeding the very tame squirrels is also worth it. As the above rating scores show, we would definitely recommend this place and will be revisiting it ourselves. Stayed in many places in Scarborough (hotels, b&b's and a couple of apartments) but this is the best.
