Guests say
The Roost is a beautifully converted, spotlessly clean cottage offering a peaceful and cosy retreat. Guests consistently praise its high standard of finish, modern amenities, and the relaxing hot tub. The property is well-equipped for families and dog owners, with a secure garden and convenient access to local attractions. While most found it comfortable, a few mentioned the double bed could be improved. The location is quiet yet close to coastal towns and local pubs. Overall, it is highly recommended for a relaxing getaway.
Cleanliness is frequently highlighted, with multiple guests describing the property as spotlessly clean, immaculate, and well-maintained throughout their stay.
The location is praised for its peaceful countryside setting and proximity to Hornsea, Withernsea, and local amenities. Some guests noted the entrance could be better signposted.
Guests found the cottage cosy, warm, and comfortable, with underfloor heating and a welcoming atmosphere. However, a few mentioned the double bed was creaky or uncomfortable, and the space could be snug for four adults.

First time staying, lovely converted barn. Great and convenient dog field and grass for when they need the toilet etc.The rooms and living area were great my daughter liked her room.Our only complaint is that the bed is a bit creaky and maybe broken, so it wasn't the most comfortable sleep and the hot tub wasn't as big as we expected. I'm 6ft 4 (which isn't anyone's fault lol) so it was a tight to fit even two people in let alone 3 of us 🙂

Beautiful accommodation in the countryside. Spotlessly clean and all aspects to a very high standard. Very quiet location but not far to travel to the coastal towns of Hornsea and Withernsea. Pubs a short drive for meals out. Everything we needed for a short break. Will definitely return.
