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

  I found the cottage reasonably clean and comfortable.

  Lack of a shower wasn't too much of a problem as I used the hand held shower over the bath but as mentioned by others it was difficult to get a constant water temperature. The availability of parking spaces on nearby streets was a concern but I did manage to get a 'space' most days on Allison Lane, glad I have a small car. Some intrusive noise from the nearest pub (2 dozen steps or so from door to door) on weekend evenings for a while but the worse noise was my last night, on the Friday. Live music in the pub was incredibly loud, went on until midnight, then customers stood outside for another hour chatting and laughing. Had to have the bedroom window open as the weather was hot this week. However they did finally decide to go home and I got some sleep eventually! This aspect of the cottage location would really put me off booking it again, unfortunately. My sister joined me later in the week and we ate out at the Rose and Crown pub where we had a fantastic meal (their fish pie is delicious) very reasonably priced, and also at The Seabirds Restaurant, another good meal there. However, the cottage is a good base from which to explore the surrounding area and for nearby cliff walks. My favourite was to park at Thornwick Bay and walk north to the RSPB reserve at Bempton cliffs. The views were stunning all the way and the photographic opportunities of the seabirds at Bempton amazing.

  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.

  I'm not a fussy person with high expectations but elements of this house were really not good enough.

  The house has a musty smell which I can accept, but the chair infront of the tv has aclearly visible stain on the cushion going right through to the other sidfe that smells unmistakeably of stale urine. The kettle is unuseable due to the amount of scale - we got fed up of picking it out of our mouths , and so we decided to boil a pan for hot water, only to find that the pan had bits of old onion stuck to the sides. Similarly cutlery had bits of old food crust on, and we found an old best before september meat packet in the cupboard under the sink. I can accept a few cobwebs but there are far too many to feel like anybody cares about this house. I am a regular user of holiday cattages, not all perfect, but this is the first time I've ever felt I had to give a negative review. The lack of cleanliness can be put down to lack of care, but the kettle and above all the armchair are a disgrace.

  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
