  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!

  Thai is an amazing holiday home!

  It was absolutely spotless and had everything we could possibly need. The garden was lovely and safe and it was great to spend each sunny evening at the lovely outdoor seating area. The owners were so friendly and could recommend places to eat and visit etc, when we asked. The neighbours were also friendly. It’s a short walk to local shops and then a very short drive to a large supermarket. Then in the opposite direction, a short stroll takes you to Hornsea Freeport. Hornsea is a beautiful small town with lots of lovely shops and the sea front was pretty and not overcrowded. We spent many days on the very clean beach as we had 14 days of sunshine. We also visited Flamborough North Landing, Hornsea Mere, Bridlington and Withernsea. We thoroughly recommend staying at Whyte Retreat for your next break! You’ll want for nothing and stay in luxury in a gorgeous area of the country. After two glorious weeks, we honestly didn’t want to return home.

  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.

  We had a fantastic week at this beautiful cottage, everywhere was spotless, comfortable, cosy and warm.

  Owner very friendly and helpful. The lovely kitchen is well equipped to cook a full meal which we ate in the separate dining room. The lounge had comfy sofas and we used the log burner on the odd cold evening. The bedrooms were bright and airy with plenty of wardrobe space. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable which seems to be a rarity these days! The outside seating area was the icing on the cake, lovely to sit out late afternoon with a book and a glass of wine. We were lucky enough to catch good weather every day. Great walks right from the cottage door and interesting places to visit nearby. Really looking forward to booking here again.
