Richard
We visited as a party of 6 and 2 large dogs to celebrate a birthday. The house was spotless and everything was in working order. Bedrooms are beautiful and cosy with comfortable beds and the kitchen is stocked with essentials, plenty of everything. When we arrived we were greeted with a selection of local beers and a bottle of wine which set the week off perfectly. When we found that the heating was on quite high and werenât sure how to lower it, Guy was more than happy to help us out and resolve the issue whilst telling us about the property and local things to do. Withernsea beach was a perfect distance away and our dogs loved it, also really good for seaglass hunting. We enjoyed visiting the brewery and would highly recommend their beers and ciders. Hopefully we will get the chance to return and would definitely recommend this property!
