  A real, authentic cottage in a lovely village.

  I booked two long stays at Lena Cottage and enjoyed every minute of them. It has the feel of a genuine 'lived in', homely cottage, almost like a trip back in time. Yes, the steps were steep and the treads a little shallow but that was all part of the charm and just required a bit of extra care. The cottage had all the facilities needed for a 'get away from it all' holiday break and the village of Kilham, with its renowned pub and hill top church, was charming without being in any way contrived. The pub is a rare, surviving example of a classic English village pub, comprising several small rooms with open fires, friendly locals, great beer and delicious food. There is a small garage and shop just round the corner from the cottage, which I found very handy for both petrol and basic supplies. Being only 9 miles from Bridlington, Lena Cottage makes an excellent base for exploring both the coast and the rolling hills of the Yorkshire Wolds. Jo, the owner, went out of her way to make us feel welcome and even provided Christmas trimmings to add the appropriate seasonal touch. I look forward to staying here again.

  We loved our week at Lena Cottage.

  The listing warns that 'the property has low doorways and steep stairs'. Yes it does (I have the bruises to prove the first one!), but all things considered they were not even the slightest inconvenience. The off-street parking and rear porch/utility room were a boon - we could dump stuff there from straight from the car to avoid losing all the heat from the cottage itself. The 'larder fridge' was a bit of a disappointment. A fridge with at least a freezer compartment would have been useful, but we coped. The instructions on the wall next to the central heating controller were vague - they were the controller manufacturer's own and their own website was no better - but we worked it out in the end. Contradicting previous reviews, we found the sofas quite comfortable, and the beds likewise. Would we stay at Lena Cottage again? Absolutely, no hesitation at all. We have recommended it to friends and family. I just hope they don't choose a week when we want to stay again ourselves!

  Lena cottage was a lovely quaint place to stay.

  Exceptionally clean, every utensil in the kitchen you needed to cook a proper meal. Beds were comfortable, sofas were great to curl up on after a day of walking. The little extras, althou we didn’t need them as we took everything, are a great idea,Food and water bowl, toys, blankets and poo bags. So thoughtful of the owner to include these for our dog. Other extras washing up liquid, sponges, tea towels, enough cutlery for 6 if needed. And the little homely touches of pictures, ornaments, and extra throws were lovely. The garden area was great for buddy our German shepherd and he soon made it home from home. Yes the ceilings in the bedrooms are low but that adds to the character. The stairs are steep but there’s only 9 of them and within a day you are used to them. And both these things are noted in the cottage description. We loved everything about Lena cottage, the owner has excelled herself in making this a great home from home

  We had a great holiday in The East Riding of Yorkshire staying at Lena Cottage.

  ....the location is great for exploring the Yorkshire Coast, the North Yorkshire Moors National park and all the towns and gorgeous villages in between. The Cottage it's self is charming, very well equiped With WYFI etc and great outside space with a summer house....eating area and loads of space to park the car and to let the dog have a safe, secure mooch around. The owner Jo is very friendly and happy to be contacted if any issues and has put some lovely touches around the property and loves dogs...so the cottage is really dog friendly, our Irish Water Daniel loved it. Jo has loads of information in a folder regarding places to walk the dogs locally and where to visit during ur stay. The village is very quaint too, with a pub and a small shop.....Bridlington is the nearest, with all the usual supermarkets so you can stock up. Full marks Jo for a lovely stay.....we loved it....fab week, will deffo visit again..cheers . Gary Tez & Tilly

  Stayed at Rhodale for Christmas it was absolutely amazing.

  The owner Ann had decorated it so lovey, we also had a lovely breakfast pack left for us in the fridge for our arrival. The cottage was extremely well equipped so I was able to cook a lovely Christmas dinner for us. Everything in the cottage is of a high standard, the soft furnishings, mattress’s, pillows and towels were very high quality which made our stay even more enjoyable. We have stayed in several properties in the past but this one was by far the best, so much so we didn’t want to go home! Our 2 cockers had an amazing time too they loved exploring the lovely beaches in the area. The owner of this property has definitely gone out of their way to make this cottage a beautiful cosy place to stay a real home from home we will definitely be coming back in the near future.
