What our customers say about their holidays

• Sandra - Verified booking

  Lovely, spacious holiday house, enormous garden, well equipped kitchen (2 fridge freezers was a real bonus), generous welcome pack, parking for at least 4 cars, very clean, ok Wi-Fi, only one tv but that was fine for us!

  Torches thoughtfully provided in every bedroom and hallway nightlights for late night loo visits. Good location only 25 minutes walk from the lovely sandy beach (although parking was free at beach car park!), great fish and chips just 10 minutes walk away. The owner was very helpful answering all our queries promptly and clearly. Very good information folder. Could do with soft close on kitchen cupboard doors. Larger bath towels for the adults would have been appreciated! (maybe a larger bed in the huge master bedroom too?) Having only one loo upstairs was a wee problem although having two baths and showers was good. We were disappointed that the table could not comfortably seat the 8 in our party… maybe the dining area needs to be reinstated? The owner was upfront and honest about this when we inquired. Because the house is unmodernised there is huge reliance on multi plugs in most rooms….. and we would say that the open plan staircase makes the house a tad unsuitable for some people. Overall it was a great holiday house for the 3 generations in our party. We hope our feedback is helpful & constructive.

  Flittermouse barn is quite simply a stunning place to stay.

  When we saw it we were so excited to get inside and we were not disappointed. All rooms are beautifully decorated in a luxurious but practical style, very much 5 star accommodation. The underfloor heating took a bit of getting used to but because we had glorious weather it was warm enough for us. There is a log burner if you need more heat. It has a private and peaceful garden, log fired hot tub and a spacious gazebo. We didn't use the hot tub on this occasion but the owners are on hand to help you out if you do want to use it. The location is perfect because you're in the heart of the country, surrounded by fields and woodland, whilst also being close to the town of Hornsea, shops and the coast. We saw a family of deer in the mornings and could hear the owls "chatting to each other" at night. The only thing we couldn't find was a shaver socket (luckily we'd taken our own) although I think the owners will have probably sorted this by now. We hope to visit again in the not too distant future. A really special place!

  This is a beautiful cottage in a beautiful location with a delightful host.

  The garden is dog-friendly, lovely with plenty of space for outdoor dining and relaxing even with inclement weather. The cottage is clean and fresh with a modern kitchen. The wood-burning stove was fabulous for cosy nights beside the fire and reading. Our daughter made good use of the dining room for studying in the evening. It's so quiet here and the neighbours are very friendly and helpful. The Black Horse serves large pub meals and we ate there frequently, The Farm shop sells eggs as well as homemade jams and chutneys. The location is convenient for exploring the East Riding of Yorkshire. The host Debbie was helpful and communicative and responded to messages immediately. There were fresh flowers on arrival with a welcome pack of tea/coffee/sugar/milk as well as an Easter Egg for our daughter who was delighted. I highly recommend this cottage and encourage you to take advantage of the introductory offer prices because this delightful place won't stay so cheap next year!

  What a wonderful property!

  The massive garden was a huge hit with our 2 children, who enjoyed the space to play cricket, hide and seek and squirrel watch. The photos don't do it justice. The care we received from the owners was second to none, nothing was too much and virtually everything was provided for. The welcome pack was very welcome - thank you Pauline. The indoor space was great, again giving the children additional space away from the boring adults. The house is well placed for exploring the area and Hornsea is a lovely town with hardly any 'big names' to spoil the high street. The ideal place to enjoy a break and either relax and listen to the birds in the garden or go to the beach and dig for gold.

  Excellent communication from property owner from the start, with a list of recommendations to eat and visit in the area.

  Everything that you could possibly wish for to make for a very relaxing holiday. The photographs just don't do the property justice, property was clean and exceed expectations throughout. We loved coming back after a day out and sitting in the covered seating area outside. Location is very handy for access to sights and beaches. Really loved Beverley, Freisthorpe and Mappleton Beaches, our dog loved swimming in the sea here, and we were very fortunate to see seals at Flamborough Head. Fresh flowers on arrival was a welcome touch to make the property feel like home. Would recommend and would like to return another time. Lisa, Peter, Katie, and misty the cocker spaniel.
