  In need of a deep clean through out .

  I did spend three hours making the house habitable using the un opened array of cleaning products under the sink. We brought the lack of cleanliness to the 'owner 'Jaimie s attention after being at the property for less than half an hour ,who apologised profusely he explained he d had a family crisis and had not been able to do a thorough clean , we both felt sorry for him after he had explained the family crisis to us . He offered to pay for a meal or a free weekend stay , If we did not leave . We felt he needed a break so agreed to stay . He agreed the state of the cottage was unacceptable and it needed a deep clean . I got up at six the next morning and did a deep clean which took three hours. The water in the mop bucket was BLACK that was two buckets , both BLACK water full of grit and black dog hair. But it smelt much fresher. The television was not working on the Sunday , my husband asked Jaimie to come round, he only lives next door, when he knelt down to check the Ariel he said' oh my my god its filthy , I am so sorry '.. We made the best of it ,kept French door open when we were in the cottage to let fresh air circulate .It was worse on a morning when the doors had been shut all night , that horrible smell of musty un fresh , doggy smell coming from the sofas , which I did not clean as they are fabric and needed steam cleaning .We used a large throw I brought from home in case it was chilly on an evening , to cover the tartan sofa and our dogs clean beach towel for the cream sofa . We stayed five days instead of seven the rubbish bins were left under the kitchen window full , this attracted flies . I had offered to put them out but Jaimie had said no he would do it .He did not. This cottage is in a lovely location and we would have returned if the issues I raised with Sykes cottages had been rectified IE a token refund the price of a meal or free weekend Jaimie had offered . But these were just words and as Sykes complaints department manager kept REPEATING to me WE ARE JUST A BOOKING AGENT , YOUR ISSUE IS WITH THE OWNER , sooooooo If you dont mind doing a self clean before you start unpacking be Jaimies guest.

  This was our first experience of a cottage holiday so we didn't quite know what to expect or what to take with us.

  Well we needn't have worried as this homely , spotless Bungalow had everything we needed. Very private down a long sheltered wooded driveway, plenty of room for parking. If your looking for peace other than bird song and relaxation then this gorgeous holiday home is spot on! The little village of Withernwick was a quiet and friendly place to stay. We visited Hornsea several times which has all you need for good shopping and stocking up on fresh food, there's a great Coop in the town and a Tesco with lots of parking. Hornsea has many little cafes and places to eat and drink outside. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at Church View and felt sad to leave. It's a beautiful bungalow thoughtfully and tastefully decorated and a much appreciated welcome pack to greet you on arrival, including, Bread, milk, wine, plenty of tea, coffee, biscuits, toilet rolls, hand wash, salt and pepper, dishwasher tabs, washing up liquid and various other items. Plenty of fluffy soft white towels, and beautiful fresh flowers in the comfortable dining room. Thank you for making us feel so welcome. The week we stayed was the hottest of the year but the bungalow remained cool and we couldn't wait to return each day, perfect. We would love to come back very soon.

  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!

  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
