What our customers say about their holidays

• Yvonne - Verified booking

  The bungalow was extremely spotless warm cosy and homely.

  Steve and Tracey were very welcoming but also kept their distance to enable us to enjoy our holiday in peace. There was a hamper of goodies ( hot chocolate, muffins and cereals) and milk in the fridge which were all perfect for my hubby as a vegan I enjoyed the bread and specialty jams tea and coffee. There were lots of store cupboard essentials too such as salt pepper vinegar and cooking oils and plenty of toilet roll and washing up liquid so we didn’t have to buy any of these. There were towels and flannels provided too and washing powder if you wanted to use the washing machine. The rooms were all well furnished and extremely clean. The bed in the main bedroom was exceptionally comfortable. There was a small low maintenance garden to the rear which met our needs. We were situated very close to local shops cafes and pubs and the old town. There were plenty of dog walking areas close by too. Steve was extremely knowledgable about the local area and it’s amenities and was able to recommend places of interest. There was also plenty of leaflets in the bungalow along with games books and dvds If wanted. We visited lots of great places and most were dog friendly including pubs cafes shops and sightseeing areas. The best chippy for us was Gabbys based in the lold town we weren’t impressed with the 149 chippy which was closer and has apparently won awards. The best pub was the ship inn which was extremely dog friendly but does get very busy on a Sunday. The biggest surprise for me was the range of venues selling vegan foods I was so impressed but beware if you are vegan or vegetarian as most places cook their chips in beef fat. Goodness knows why!! And this is not advertised. All in all we had a really enjoyable time relaxing and walking with our dog

  The cottage is in a nice location, with views across a small field , with the road beyond.

  The cleaning is excellent and the seating, beds and general furnishings are good. Whilst a ground floor bedroom was great for us, the two steps up into the bathroom were not mentioned and did present a problem. The kitchen was badly designed when installed and there is not one cupboard available for self catering guests to put there own items into. These items, therefore, take up a large proportion of the worksurface . The problem with the property was the lack of general maintenance, which had not been addressed for some considerable time, as well as lack of attention to detail. Three torches were said to be in the property. There were none. This was reported, but none appeared during our stay. (It is very dark in the property at night) The kitchen tap was continually dripping and this had been pointed out to them by previous occupants two months earlier. (The kitchen is next to the downstairs bedroom, so this doesn't help sleep.) The back door lock was ineffective and the door opened with a slight push, thus placing possessions at risk of theft. The outside areas had seen better days. The front patio needed urgent attention to the surrounds. The rear garden, was full of large weeds, living and dead brambles and various rotting metallic ornaments. Not a pleasant place to sit and relax. The owner says that they are unaware of some defects, as they do not live locally, but they need to be more proactive. If they sorted these matters, it would make it a place worth staying at.

  Danescroft was spotlessly clean and warm on our arrival.

  We had a visit from the next door neighbour within an hour of our arrival who showed us how to operate the wood burner (though the storage heaters were so effective we didn't need to use it) and told us about dog friendly places to visit and places eat and local takeaways. We did a Sainsbury's online shop which was timed to be delivered a couple of hours after we arrived which was really helpful. There is a Co-op quite close and a large Morrison's within a couple of miles. The kitchen had plenty of cupboard space, and had a washing machine, microwave, fridge freezer and electric oven but we didn't find any chopping boards, only one bread board. We knew there wasn't a cafetiere so we took one. The bungalow is one and a half miles from the beach and harbour and is in a lovely quiet residential area. Check out Richie's Cafe on South Beach, good food and dog friendly. Bridlington is a great place to stay and it's also close to Filey, Flamborough Head and Scarborough so lots of places to visit and things to do.

  Danescroft is a perfect base for exploring with the sea front only 5 minutes away by car and Flamborough, Filey, Bempton Cliffs, and many other places within easy reach.

  The owners who live next door were very helpful with information on local places, shops etc which added to our stay. We found the WiFi signal excellent for keeping in touch with family and entertainment in the evenings. The bungalow we felt had limited kitchen equipment & a set of saucepans would probably benefit future guests. However, when asked if there were any available for our use Stevie did provide one. The property could benefit from a blind at the kitchen window to block the sun which was so bright when standing at the sink and another at the bathroom window to afford extra privacy when taking a shower even though the glass is frosted it does face a joint driveway. Having made the above the comments we would hope they are taken as useful and would recommend the property to family and friends. Thank you Val, Stewart & our dog Mitzy

  When we arrived on the Friday 22nd we discovered that the cottage had not been cleaned or the beds changed.

  There were no towels obviously either. We did text the Sparkle and Shine cleaning company and they got in touch on the Saturday morning- they had had no record of the booking. They came on the Saturday afternoon. We had to sleep in beds with no sheets,duvet covers or pillow cases. This was not very nice. Luckily the cottage had been left pretty clean by the previous guests but the bath was dirty and the bins hadn’t been emptied. We were not given the owners number to complain -only the cleaning company. The visitors book requested ‘ haven of happiness’ comments only!! I suppose it works both ways. We weren’t very happy !! Apart from this bad start we had a lovely holiday and the cottage was great. It was modern, well equipped and had a lovely feel to it. It is a fabulous spot to explore a lot of the Yorkshire Coast.
