  "Diamond in the rough" - Generally the house is lovely.

  The house is very generous in space but more so in the bedrooms than the living areas. It's in a great location, handy for Filey beach and close enough to Scarborough to make it a lot cheaper that similar houses accommodating a large party. The garden is a great space, getting loads of sun in the summer months. Probably a better house for adults than parties with kids. Firstly, we'd like to state we would have booked this house for 2022 but it was already booked up. At first site it is a really impressive property, but after staying there a while we realised it needs more spent on it to be the luxury accommodation which it claims. It sleeps 15 but we found it very difficult to self cater with a mixed group of 10 people - 6 adults, 4 kids aged 1 - 6. The kitchen is OK, but didn't have the appliances to cope with our group, never mind one of 15 which it can sleep. It is well stocked with pans, crockery etc, but a lot has seen better days, especially the frying pans - non-stick doesn't last forever. The dishwasher is too small internally/doesn't have moveable shelves. You could not stack the plates normally without them stopping the spray rotors working. Lighting could also be better. There is an AGA which we only used for plate warming, so replace that with units and new ovens, at least 2 full size built in ovens. The existing one is a NEFF double oven, but the seal was coming away on the lower larger oven and it took almost half the time again to cook food. Needs changing. There isn't enough fridge and freezer space for a full house. It has a separate fridge and freezer in the utility, but make them full height as plenty of space to do so. Even getting shops delivered every other day, we struggled with the fridge space. Fridge-freezer in kitchen needs a defrost. They need to look at the mattresses. At least two in the 4 berth bedroom in the roof need replacing and generally they were not the best quality. Tech NEEDS an upgrade. Broadband is terrible!!! Simply doesn't work. We struggled to stream music, never mind a film for the kids when the rain set in. Can't remember when I last saw a TV using a SCART lead ;-) - 20 years ago? The main living room is a great size but would benefit from some more large lamps for the evening. We brought them down from the bedrooms, otherwise, just the harsh main light. Playroom would also benefit from this. We did have an issue with some bedding which was sorted out really quickly, but we also thought the cleaning of the bathrooms needed to be better. The garden is a great space. It would be great if the gates were lockable - particularly the one to the road. In short, I would say this house could be fantastic, but it needs more money spent on it. Perhaps with 15 beds it is overstretching itself. The kitchen in particular would struggle to cope for a party wanting to fully self-cater.

  We stayed at this property as a group of 10 adults, an 8 month old baby and 3 dogs.

  The property itself was perfect, with spacious bedrooms spread across the upper floors alongside modern en-suite and bathroom facilities. The downstairs area was perfect for a large group - there was enough space for us to all sit as a group in the lounge and the games room was a big hit in the evenings. We cooked several meals in the kitchen and used all of the appliances with no issues. The garden is large and well maintained, with ample space for our 3 dogs to run around securely. There is a lovely sheltered seating area which meant that we could still enjoy some fresh air despite the weather not being perfect all week. There is lots of off road parking available. Location-wise, this house was perfect for exploring the east coast - we took trips to Scarborough, Bridlington and Filey. There is a lovely walk along the coast from just up the road, and we also took the dogs for a run down Hunmanby Gap beach which was beautiful. We went slightly further afield too and visited York, Thornton-Le-Dale and Flamingo Land - all within an hours drive. Reighton House was like a home from home for us, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to visit again in the future.

  Reighton House is a beautiful, period house with lots of space.

  The Christmas hamper left for us was a lovely touch. The games room is a perfect place for the children to play and gave them plenty of space to play with their Christmas presents. The kitchen is very well equipped providing everything you need including an air fryer and slow cooker which we weren’t expecting. The heated tray was very useful on Christmas Day. There are two fridges, two freezers and lots of empty cupboards for storage. The bedrooms are comfortable and the showers in the en-suite rooms are excellent. The garden would have been a lovely safe place for the children to play in had the weather been better. The house is situated in a lovely quiet village with Filey and Bridlington within easy reach. There is a small playground in the village too. The three generations of our family had a great Christmas at Reighton House and would happily return there in the future.

  We enjoyed a lovely week in this house , the weather was glorious except foe 2 days when the sea fret came in ,But we still found thing to do .

  . The house is a.lovely clean and comfy place to enjoy your hols , the garden was good for the kids with the wall keeping them safe, we had meals out side most days , We went to the beach kids loved the sea , also. Cought the bus to the animal and.bird garden which was a great day out , we took a picnic most days , Only down side was the lady next door screaming and shouting at the Tesco delivery driver when he brought our grocery order , he was a bit shaken up with her she sounded scary . Anyway she said he was on her land . Which turned out it’s a right of way , which we pointed out to her a few days later when the dilivery man was due again , I got in touch with Graham and he was so helpful , anyway this lady didn’t spoil our holiday , so if you stay there just ignore her (l think she likes the sound of her own voice ) we will definitely go again in the future ,

  Beautiful place surrounded by a lovely garden.

  The only criticism was the flies that seemed to be always gathering in the kitchen. It didn't matter how many died on the hanging fly papers (which were pretty full already when we arrived) or how many we hit with the provided fly swat and spray, they returned. After the first night we kept the outer doors and windows closed but they still came. We closed all inner doors after the first night because my granddaughter woke with them crawling on her. This did contain them to the kitchen,but it meant the kitchen became very warm, especially as the arga was permanently on. Luckily the weather was kind and we were able to eat outside and in the rest of the house. Any food left out in the kitchen was crawling with flies in minutes, even strawberry tops. We never did find the source.
