  On arriving at the apartment we could not get into the property as Mr Power had not sent us the key code .

  Having contacted Mr Power he said he had sent it . Getting in touch with Sykes, as we lost contact with Mr Power, it was made apparent that he or Sykes had the wrong phone number. I have no complaint with Sykes as they did their best and did get in touch with him. Having gained access to apartment on first impressions it looked very nice ,pictures décor. but , to our dismay opening the fridge it had not been cleaned from last occupants, there was frozen rolls left in freezer, bread left in the bread bin ,a frying pan left in the oven half full of oil, the oven smelled. Cooker top was greasy .Cutlrey was greasy handles. That was first on looking in the apartment .Mr Power was informed ,he assured us he would send someone the next day to get the whole place cleaned ,he did apolagise and said he had no problems with the company that cleaned before and thought that it must have been because it was the last apartment to be cleaned and they rushed it, and he wouldn't be using them again ,and that he would be getting his sister in law to go in and clean it .Im sure it would of being a case of getting the "Cleaning Company " back in there and doing the job they were paid to do in the first place ??.Not his sister in law .He also said when he got back from his weekend away he would call on us to ee if everything was ok .He Did not. Next day we were out the frying pan had been cleaned extra towels had been left ,a spray of something to make it seem something had been done I can assure you it was not. and the toilet roll holder was also broken and was not fixed ether. Looking back I feel we should have asked for a transfer,but we thought we would just get on with the holiday and enjoy our time up there.I have just lost my husband to kidney cancer and this was a break for me with my friends ,so we didn't want to spend our time on phone calls sorting stuff out, I cleaned the fridge out only used the top of the cooker a couple of times.there are a few other niggley cosmetic things need doing in the place but ive gone on enough.Needless to say we enjoyed our time going out and made best of our holiday,Thankyou .

  The Flat is in a great location right near to the harbour and Bridlington spa.

  When arrived easy to get into the property with the key boxes easy to locate. We had come up as are moving to the area and was measuring up at the house we are buying and spent a few days getting to see what the area has to offer. We settled in on first glance all seemed ok. But once unpacked and settling in. could see that the cleaning of the bathroom leaves a'lot to be desired shower head has lime scale and cobwebs on the ceiling. Black mould on the edges inside and outside toilet is not secure to the floor as moves when sitting on it. Also fittings in bathroom rusty soap holder toothbrush holder and glass dirty. shower needs changing as can't direct the head to point down and inside looks like needs updating ie refitting with proper tiles! Kitchen is nice but i would suggest getting new untensils as the cheap plastic ones look grim. Also inthe cupboard the coffe tea and sugar jars should be empty not have sugar and someone elses teabags left in? Oven was grim dirty glass and needs cleaning inside. other than that a nice kitchen. Bedrooms well both beds could do with being replaced with newer beds and better quality mattresses. The bedroom on the top floor well that bed is rubbish first night i got into bed withing 30 mins 6 slats came out and the mattress sank down? i put them back in and got back in bed happened again. fixed it but decided to sleep on the other side which was more secure. Also there was a slat broken underneath the bed which was done before i arrived not noticed by anyone cleaning the room. The room would be nicer if wasn't used as storage room for travel cot and hoover and high chair! could have a nice sofa in that room and also be nice to have a tv in the room to?. Also rooms need a bit of tlc on the walls as have scuff marks and dents in the wall!

  First of all a hiccup with the txt details for entry to the property, I had to phone the owner again on arrival as not heard anything, (the details were sent to the wrong mobile number!

  !). Due to only spending 3 nights at the property with my daughter and 2 granddaughters the following was not reported to the owner as I did not want to waste our holiday reporting things that should have been obvious to whoever does/does not do the cleaning/checking between 10 am and 3 pm. The kitchen sink and underside of the washing up bowl were filthy with grease and food residue (good job you can get rid of most of this with hot water and watered down washing up liquid as there were no cleaning products available). This made me check the rest of the property which revealed no dusting had taken place, all surfaces and lamps etc had more than 1 weeks dust on them. The (uncomfortable I might add) sofa had food crumbs on it and even more underneath it. The shower head did not fit in the holder so as soon as you turned it on it shot out and landed on the floor, the bathroom mirror had not been cleaned. The bedroom on the same level as the living space has absolutely no clothes storage at all. The bedroom on the upper landing does have clothes storage but no mirror? Are we all supposed to mingle in and share storage and mirrors (I don't think so), also the blind in this bedroom was broken on arrival. We had a lovely time in Bridlington itself but would not recommend this apartment unless standards are improved, please make sure you publish this feedback as I feel as though I stayed in a totally different place to the other reviews that said it was incredibly clean and tidy, or maybe my standards are different.

  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

  Disappointing We appreciated the convenience of locality of the property and the off road parking .

  When we arrived the radiators were switched off .We expected them to be on at an ambient temperature with simple instructions to increase the temperature.We switched them on and the kitchen one became dangerously hot to the touch The other 2 did not respond .The lounge then worked spasmodically for the next few days.The hall one never worked.The weather was relatively mild so we were fine.The last 48 hours of our visit the weather was chilly .We were not ' Cosy'. We found the instruction manual pushed to the back of a cupboard but did not want to interfere with any preset schedules and instructions were very complicated .We could have rung the owner but did not want to waste time on our holiday waiting for something to be sorted that should have been checked in the changeover time.There was no supplementary emergency heating eg.fan heater as is usual in our experience.We did not want to use the wood burner and in any did not have a lighter( not supplied) The TV in the bedroom mostly could not be used reception was poor and it pixelated on all channels. The bins outside were overflowing when we arrived and remained so.There were a number of flies in the property possibility as a result . We did enjoy some lovely walks and the scenery and a good visit to Whitby.
