  We have used Sykes cottages for some time and this is by far the best cottage we have stayed in.

  The minute we walked through the door it felt so comfortable and well presented. The fresh flowers were lovely to see around the house. The kitchen is a good size and had everything we needed. This led to a large dining table with ample room for us all to sit. The living room again was very spacious and well presented with a lovely log burner. ( Shame it was too warm to use it). The bedrooms we're very well presented with excellent mattresses. We had the best sleep ever, even my grandson stayed in his own bed all night which is rare. Outside the garden was beautiful with stunning flower beds, a large lawn, and decking where we ate most of our meals. The hot tub was amazing which was used on a regular basis. It was nice on a night where we could hear owls and see hedgehogs scurrying about. Caroline the neighbour next door was very welcoming and lovely with our grandchildren, showing them the fairy doors in the orchard and sharing some toys. It was harvesting time in the field next to the cottage and we had been warned that this may be noisy as it was to be done during the night. However, we did not hear anything and was very surprised to see a bottle of wine from Julie on our doorstep to say sorry for the noise. The cottage is finished to a very high standard, and the same can be said for all the contents too. I really didn't want to leave a glowing report because when people find out about this little gem it will get booked up quick. Many thanks to Jane and Caroline for making us feel so welcoming, you should be very proud of what you offer to your customers.

  The cottage and facilities were what we were hoping for and got, everything you would need for a stay and to be home from home whilst away on holiday.

  The whole place was exactly what we needed, from bedrooms to living space downstairs to kitchen facilities. Garden and hot tub were great, and the little orchard at the bottom that we had access to was great for our dog. We could let her roam loose, without a lead which was a great bonus. One constructive comment, would have been great to have a couple of sun loungers for the garden or decking area, but it was no biggie and in no way detracted from our stay. Jane, and Caroline living next door, were really welcoming, friendly and helpful and ideal hosts. They offered suggestions for eating places and local places to visit. Though Caroline lived next door it was in no way intrusive and we had some really nice chats over the fence. We ate out a few days, ordered in a couple of times and cooked once - all of them work out great. The biggest challenge was getting the delivery to find the place, but it was on the night of England playing in the Euro Championship final so we were expecting it to be a bit hectic. Local pubs in Sproatley and Lelley were excellent and we'd recommend going to both of these, very good quality food and good value for money. Local Asda a ten min drive from tbe cottage so easy to keep the stocks of food and drink at the cottage topped up. Trips out to Hornsea only a short drive away, and beach at Mappleton good if you have dogs to walk. All in all would thoroughly recommend and already thinking would be great for a break over winter months, and would thoroughly recommend.

  The lodge was a good size for 4 - plenty of room in lounge.

  However the kitchen let the accommodation down . There were 3 dirty looking frying pans but no saucepans. I did text owner who arrived about 90 mins later with some very greasy/ rusty / dusty pans. They were too late for us to cook and too dirty to use. He did explain I could wash them but that would have been an understatement. I took photos as they were disgusting. I did not go on holiday to scrub saucepans , I did not have a scourer or any cleaning materials . The power also kept tripping , couldn’t have hob or grill on at same time. The dishwasher was greasy and the container that holds the tablet didn’t open. I do understand we have to be careful with Covid but first time I have been to a rental with out any washing up liquid, toilet rolls, or a couple of dishwasher tablets. Suggestion to leave a vacuum out as rug in lounge could have done with it - also quite grubby. The rest of the lodge was very clean and nice touch with eggs and bread. Could do with WiFi .

  Layout perfect.

  Sea viewed from car park lovely, sadly the road to access beach eroded away, hence nearest place we found to walk on the beach a 10 min drive away, Withensea. Overall, the cottage could do with some tlc. Shower trays were black round the tray sealant and the ensuite I had, the water wasn't running away due to a collection of hair which made using it off putting. The ensuite sinks could have been bigger as the shelf above them made them awkward to use. The tall lamp in the corner of the lounge was propped up against the wall, so needs replacing. However..., that said...., the owner was very pleasant when I spoke with him, and we had a nice quiet stay. The day i arrived the For Sale Board for the 5 cottages went up, so as the owner is selling, I would conclude financially there would be no financial gain or point in doing any upgrading, hence why I would understand giving the cottage some tlc would no doubt be pointless.

  Daisy nook is a lovely cottage set in a quiet area.

  The cottage was well laid out with three great ensuite double rooms. There are only a few things that I would say could be improved. A cordless vacuum or similar plus mop. A mirror upstairs. The en-suite bathrooms could do with a shelf for toiletries. The sink upstairs is far too small and awkward as it’s in a corner. Some plastic cups/cutlery/plates wouldn’t go amiss for little people. You cannot walk to the sideside from the cottage. Seaside lane now ends to a dead end due to coastal erosion. you will need to drive into withernsea but it is free to park in market street car park near the leisure centre. 10 min drive away. 30 mins to Hornsea and 1hr to Bridlington. There is a slimline dishwasher and ample room in the fridge. The freezer is a bit smaller. We were a party of 4 adults and two children and had plenty of room. Issues were cleared up straight away with a quick email. We would stay again. Thanks
