  I’m writing to express my deep disappointment and frustration with my recent stay at The Bluebell for my 60th birthday celebration.

  I had carefully selected your venue as it seemed perfect for hosting my 33 guests. From the moment I booked, everything appeared to be well-organized, and I even paid extra for the privilege of an early arrival and late check-out. Unfortunately, my experience was far from what I expected, and it caused significant stress during an event that should have been a joyous occasion. Upon arrival, we found the property cold, with no way to turn on the heaters. Despite making numerous calls and sending several texts, it took far too long to resolve this basic issue. Additionally, the entire place was in desperate need of a deep clean. We were shocked to find that cleaning supplies were unavailable, forcing us to go out and purchase our own mops and products to clean the property ourselves. Some of the rooms were in unacceptable condition: Toilets had been used and not flushed. Floors were dirty, and cobwebs were all over the walls. The outside bin area was littered with black bags, which I refused to clean up. Several rooms had stained bedding, including one with a blood stain that we had to change ourselves. Worse, from rooms 1 to 4, none of the electrical sockets worked, and despite numerous attempts to contact you, this was never resolved. Room 12 had stained bedding with some sort of black ink. It’s unbelievable that your housekeeper admitted to knowing about the stained sheets but put them on the beds regardless. The condition of the property was unacceptable and created a significant amount of stress. I did not receive the value I expected for the money I spent. My guests, while understanding, were understandably disturbed by the poor conditions, and this situation nearly ruined an event I had spent a year planning. Your housekeeper excused her inaction by saying she was on holiday, and your lack of response was equally frustrating. We have videos and photos documenting all the issues mentioned, and I am appalled that such basic standards of cleanliness and hospitality were not met.

  We hired the Blue Bell for 38 all female family and friends for a surprise weekend for my daughter’s 40th birthday.

  It was absolutely perfect! We decorated the large function room and hired a DJ and Supreme Photo Booths - both excellent. There is a brilliant bar area where all our guests stored the drinks they’d bought with them. The kitchen facilities were great with loads of fridge and freezer storage space and 2 double ovens where we prepared and served a cooked breakfast on Saturday morning and chicken and chips in the afternoon after enjoying a televised dog racing game in the afternoon in the snug area next to the dining area. On Friday evening we ordered fish and chips from Nafferton Fisheries in Driffield - they gave us a fabulous service - great communication before the event and delivering their hot and tasty food on time. For our party on Saturday evening we’d ordered a load of platters from Morrisons which is only a short drive away. The Blue Bell is in a lovely small village and many of the ladies enjoyed a long walk on Saturday morning including the grounds of Burton Agnes Hall. Communication with the owners and housekeeper prior to arrival and during our stay was excellent - they couldn’t have been more helpful. Several guests enjoyed using the hot tub in the lovely grounds at the rear of the property. There were no complaints from any guests who all said they had had a fabulous weekend. The property was warm and comfortable and had everything we needed for a marvelous celebratory time. It was excellent value for money and our guests said they could not believe how we had managed to put the weekend on for the price that they had paid. I would have no hesitation in recommending this venue. Do not expect luxury but if you want a large, clean, comfortable and functional large space to hold your event and sleep your guests at the right price - this is for you.

  THANK YOU George and the team from Mick Debbie and Abbey the dog.

  We found number 8 to be a perfect apartment for two and a dog. Everything in the apartment for a “romantic” get a way including the gift of bubbles and chocolates in the welcome pack along with the milk, coffee and teabags for that first brew on arrival…..Abbey says don’t forget to mention how she enjoyed the tasty dog treats too. We had some pouring rain, however whatever the weather, apartment 8 has such stunning sea views and is so comfy there is no need to venture out to feel you’ve had a break by the sea. We already have a sea view apartment At Hunters Quay, not only on our must return to list, but also as a definite winter break destination. Town and the supermarkets were walkable for us and with the beach only a hop skip and a jump away we were able to do plenty of short beach walking between showers and a longer one on a finer day. With the spa theatre in such close proximity, we will also keep an eye on events there, as apartment 8 will make a super theatre break destination. All in all we think George and his helpful team tick all boxes and provide a gem of a place to make happy memories by the sea without any need to worry about parking with the included parking permit. Added bonus as everything is so close no need to use the car. All in all this apartment is highly recommended by us

  Having stayed in many different forms of holiday accommodation over the years, we have seen many different standards.

  The house while vast needs an awful lot of work doing to it to make it somewhere people would choose, especially when you consider the amount it costs for the week. Whilst some of the refurb has been done, there are many aspects that with little outlay would have made the houses unfinished appearance acceptable. Yes bed linen and towels were provided but there were no cushions to the large sofa for the back and the other two were so worn you sank into them and struggled to get out. The house was cold especially in the evening, which was due to both having windows that were broken and doors that needed repair or replacement. There were no instructions for anything in the property, and no welcome pack so the basics were unavailable such as dishcloth, dishwasher tablets, fairy liquid and bin bags. We had to assume which bin to use, as no explanation regarding general waste and recycling. Curtains did not all fit the windows and some rooms did not have any or a blind. Making privacy an issue for some of us. Overall a disappointment, and somewhere we wouldn’t recommend.

  It is a lovely little chalet.

  We were there in late January/ early February, I can imagine it would be nice to sit on the fully enclosed veranda in summer. On arrival, there was no milk or oat milk, which was on the list of 'what to expect', however we had taken some with us just in case. The mattress was very soft and feels like it needs replacing. The same with the L shaped seating. There were only 3 mugs, not a huge problem, as when our friends came round, we used one of the 3 small tea cups. We found the sweeping brush which was provided was full of hairs, apart from that the chalet was clean, and well equipped. The instructions/ welcome book were very clear and helpful. A nice touch to have a caddy full of dog treats. The central heating an air con/ fan heater worked very well to warm the rooms very quickly. There are LOTS of rabbits around the chalets, which are nice to watch, but very tempting for our dogs! The owners went above and beyond to support us with a request regarding our dogs.
