  The cottage is in a good position relative to the beach and the few shops and the pub.

  It’s warm and comfortable with a plentiful supply of logs for the stove. The cottage is small , more suitable for one or two people. Wi-Fi and mobile reception were excellent throughout the week I stayed. The kitchen is very small but has most things you would need. However there is no freezer or freezer compartment/ice box, just a fridge. There’s also no microwave. There’s a lovely shower room (no bath) with underfloor heating. Note that if you’re looking for the washing machine it’s in the shower room under the sink in the cupboard. As noted with other reviews parking is a challenge. There is no parking at the cottage itself. The cottage could benefit from curtains or blinds at the lounge window to offer some privacy as it is easy to see in from the outside. I slept well despite the the two storms that hit the are. The main bedroom is nice and comfortable. There’s a second smaller bedroom with bunk beds. To the front of the cottage is a small enclosed garden, there’s a useful hosepipe for washing down dogs and boot cleaning. Overall I enjoyed my stay.

  Loved our week stay at Stonewall!

  Great location close to beach, Hart Inn, Fish Cottage and Mary’s - our first stay here even though we know the area well. Wood supplied for fire, kitchen compact but well equipped and listing does say no microwave. The towel radiator does work on the boost as described but never gets hot so bathroom in February was a little chilly. Rest of the house toasty, comfortable and we felt at home. Slightly lower score for cleanliness for 2 reasons. Looked for plugs in main bedroom for hair dryer and they are behind the drawers so difficult to access unless I missed easier ones and it’s been a good while since it was cleaned there. There were no bins to be found externally so difficult to follow the recycle request. I did manage to meet the bin man who waited while I took the bags to his bin lorry. This is picky as we loved our stay so just raising awareness. We walked miles and always love our visits to Sandsend and would re book. (Thank you for the hosepipe and shoe rack which helped us to keep the dog clean and house tidy!) Previous reviews mention welcome cake… ?

  We were called by the owner 15 minutes before arrival after driving 5 hours to be told there was building works on site at the cottage!

  So as we have stayed at this cottage before we were extremely disappointed to arrive to this!! The owner asked if Sykes had informed us of this building works they had not. If we had know we would of chosen elsewhere, we had paid a lot of money to stay on a building site as far as we are concerned, we wanted to have dinner at the hotel that was being renovated, also to use their spa etc again more disappointment. The cottage had stains on the bedroom carpet, and on the furniture not very nice and it smelt of dogs! I personally have recently become a widow and was looking forward to the break! But this was not what I would call a relaxing place to stay!! We are very interested to hear your feedback on our comments as this we feel is very unacceptable! I shall be putting a review online also pictures.

  The bed in the double room was very uncomfortable as you could feel the bed frame under the mattress.

  We also appreciate it is a tight space to put a double bed but it would’ve better without the frame at the end of the bed as you can’t stretch your legs without hurting your toes on the frame it would also be easier to get out of the bed by opening up the space at the bottom of the bed. The mirror in the bathroom was surrounded by cobwebs and spiders, the dining area could do with a lick of paint due to wear and tear and there needs to be a curtain in the lounge as the window faces the pub car park and you have to walk across the lounge to the downstairs bathroom in the night. The cottage is cute but much if the furniture is style over substance for practical use. Also four mugs for up to four guests? One mug had a huge crack in it, also no teapot.

  We enjoyed the location of the property.

  Parking can be a bit of a problem sometimes it was a little way from the property, we were lucky my husband was speaking to the lady next door and she kindly let us park on her drive as she wasnt using it but if you have mobility problems it might be a problem. It was quite tight to get to the property between two buildings as we have a larger vehicle. It would be useful to have a folder with how to use appliances and heating and useful local phone numbers for vets doctors , nearest hospital and places to eat also the door frames are quite low my husband caught his head twice smaller than i was expecting. Just across the road from the beach and cafe and also good pub next door which serves good food
