  A real, authentic cottage in a lovely village.

  I booked two long stays at Lena Cottage and enjoyed every minute of them. It has the feel of a genuine 'lived in', homely cottage, almost like a trip back in time. Yes, the steps were steep and the treads a little shallow but that was all part of the charm and just required a bit of extra care. The cottage had all the facilities needed for a 'get away from it all' holiday break and the village of Kilham, with its renowned pub and hill top church, was charming without being in any way contrived. The pub is a rare, surviving example of a classic English village pub, comprising several small rooms with open fires, friendly locals, great beer and delicious food. There is a small garage and shop just round the corner from the cottage, which I found very handy for both petrol and basic supplies. Being only 9 miles from Bridlington, Lena Cottage makes an excellent base for exploring both the coast and the rolling hills of the Yorkshire Wolds. Jo, the owner, went out of her way to make us feel welcome and even provided Christmas trimmings to add the appropriate seasonal touch. I look forward to staying here again.

  Great location for visiting some fantastic places in and around flamborough.

  Aesthetically the house looks of a high finish but unfortunately the interior furnishing badly let this property down. The sofas are aged and uncomfortable and certainly a squeeze for more than three people. The beds are of a similar age sloping and lumpy(they tried and failed to remedy this with a mattress topper) resulting in uncomfortable sleeps for my family. Please leave the holiday cottage in a better condition than you found it. If you don’t, you will receive a curt text message nine days after your stay rating your departure cleanliness!! A score of 3/10 for us The reason for our score? Crisps were found under the sofa… A cushion cover had tomato sauce on it (we would gladly have paid for a new one if given the opportunity) and apparently a bottle of oil had been spilt over the cooker. Had such an event happened (which it didn’t) we would of course mentioned it. The lack of respect for our integrity left us quite shocked and sullied our experience. To sum up; good location, aged furniture and an owner with antagonistic communication.

  We loved our week at Lena Cottage.

  The listing warns that 'the property has low doorways and steep stairs'. Yes it does (I have the bruises to prove the first one!), but all things considered they were not even the slightest inconvenience. The off-street parking and rear porch/utility room were a boon - we could dump stuff there from straight from the car to avoid losing all the heat from the cottage itself. The 'larder fridge' was a bit of a disappointment. A fridge with at least a freezer compartment would have been useful, but we coped. The instructions on the wall next to the central heating controller were vague - they were the controller manufacturer's own and their own website was no better - but we worked it out in the end. Contradicting previous reviews, we found the sofas quite comfortable, and the beds likewise. Would we stay at Lena Cottage again? Absolutely, no hesitation at all. We have recommended it to friends and family. I just hope they don't choose a week when we want to stay again ourselves!

  Lena cottage was a lovely quaint place to stay.

  Exceptionally clean, every utensil in the kitchen you needed to cook a proper meal. Beds were comfortable, sofas were great to curl up on after a day of walking. The little extras, althou we didn’t need them as we took everything, are a great idea,Food and water bowl, toys, blankets and poo bags. So thoughtful of the owner to include these for our dog. Other extras washing up liquid, sponges, tea towels, enough cutlery for 6 if needed. And the little homely touches of pictures, ornaments, and extra throws were lovely. The garden area was great for buddy our German shepherd and he soon made it home from home. Yes the ceilings in the bedrooms are low but that adds to the character. The stairs are steep but there’s only 9 of them and within a day you are used to them. And both these things are noted in the cottage description. We loved everything about Lena cottage, the owner has excelled herself in making this a great home from home

  We had a great holiday in The East Riding of Yorkshire staying at Lena Cottage.

  ....the location is great for exploring the Yorkshire Coast, the North Yorkshire Moors National park and all the towns and gorgeous villages in between. The Cottage it's self is charming, very well equiped With WYFI etc and great outside space with a summer house....eating area and loads of space to park the car and to let the dog have a safe, secure mooch around. The owner Jo is very friendly and happy to be contacted if any issues and has put some lovely touches around the property and loves dogs...so the cottage is really dog friendly, our Irish Water Daniel loved it. Jo has loads of information in a folder regarding places to walk the dogs locally and where to visit during ur stay. The village is very quaint too, with a pub and a small shop.....Bridlington is the nearest, with all the usual supermarkets so you can stock up. Full marks Jo for a lovely stay.....we loved it....fab week, will deffo visit again..cheers . Gary Tez & Tilly
