Guests say
This apartment offers a fantastic location within a well-kept holiday village, just a short walk from a beautiful sandy beach and close to on-site amenities such as a pub and swimming pool. Guests appreciate the spaciousness and well-equipped kitchen, making it a good base for exploring the Yorkshire coast. However, some reviews mention issues with cleanliness, maintenance, and comfort, particularly regarding beds and sofas. While some guests received welcome packs, this is not always the case. Overall, the property is ideal for those seeking a convenient coastal break, though some areas could benefit from refurbishment.
Cleanliness feedback is mixed. Several guests found the apartment clean on arrival, but others reported issues such as dusty blinds, stained bedding, dirty ovens, and bathrooms needing attention. Some arrivals found the property uncleaned or with leftover items from previous guests. The inconsistency in cleaning standards has been a recurring concern.
The location is widely praised, with guests enjoying the proximity to the beach, local attractions, and on-site facilities. The setting is described as quiet, relaxing, and ideal for exploring the East Coast. Some found the walk to the beach steep, but overall, the location is a highlight.
Comfort is a common concern, with many guests finding the beds and sofas uncomfortable or of poor quality. Issues such as short beds, hard mattresses, and low, worn sofas are frequently mentioned. While the apartment is spacious, improvements to furnishings would enhance guest comfort.
Facilities are generally adequate, with a well-equipped kitchen and access to on-site amenities like the pool and pub. However, maintenance issues such as broken blinds, rusty radiators, blocked sinks, and lack of Wi-Fi are noted. Some guests also mentioned missing or unclear instructions for appliances and site facilities.
A few guests received small welcome packs, but this is not guaranteed. Several reviews mention a lack of thoughtful touches such as basic supplies, property instructions, or local information. The absence of these extras was noted, especially after long journeys.

You can walk from the site onto the adjoining beach which goes all the way to filey. The pool and pub are both good, but can get busy at times. Worth booking a table at the pub. The place itself is very quiet and relaxing.

No WiFi or pass for swimming pool (can be purchased on site) but we managed without. The location is great, lovely friendly site and walking distance from a lovely sandy beach perfect for swimming. Only slight complaint is that the sofas werenât very comfy.
