  The victorian terrace is not a cottage, the high ceilings & big rooms mean it is also, not cosy.

  The house is a hodge-podge of styles & a collection of dated and cheap furniture. It reminded us of a student house. The master bed was far too soft - we had to play musical beds as none of us could bare to sleep in it. Those who did got terrible back pain. The bed covers were very dated & cheap, apart from in the twin where the bed covers carried on with the coastal blue theme. In the master, the bedside tables were dirty inside & in all bedrooms the dust along skirting boards was off putting (especially behind beds - we lost our sons toothbrush and upon searching found it behind the single bedside table matted in dust and muck). There are no blackout curtains - again very cheap window dressings. The bath slopes and when wet & soapy, a fall hazard. The lounge had a bad smell, which we later realised may have been the rodent living in the house (our terrier was very preoccupied with trying to root it out, and we heard it at night scurrying about). The faux leather sofa had a strange cheesy smell and was very uncomfortable. Both sofas very uncomfortable, mis-matched and felt cheap. The kitchen was again a mix of styles with black worn leather dining chairs against upcycled vintage ones. The cutlery drawer had crumbs & food debris in it. Upon arriving, the sink was not clean and there was what seemed to be broccoli on the tap. The bureau, where we found the recycling bags, was dirty inside and had a used foot covering in there. The unit under the window in the lounge was also filthy. The yard was referenced as a kids play area, it is not this. It is a concrete yard previously used for parking a car. The kettle was terrible and leaked water all over when pouring. Toaster too small. Again, all these things made it feel cheap. The welcome book gave a very patronising account of how one should conduct themselves during the stay, which was off-putting. Especially when, the house itself is the state it is - it felt as though the owners were cheaping out on it but expected guests to treat it like a luxury palace. The hosts left a bottle of wine and chocolates as a welcome, which was a nice touch, but the welcome card itself had greasy food/finger prints on it. The location is good for the beach and amenities, however for two of our four day stay, there was roadworks outside the house and we could not get our car out. We feel the host would probably have been pre-warned about this & should have passed that on to us. All in all, for the price this host is charging & the turn over they make, especially in high season, they should really invest more in this holiday stay. Other guests, in the guest book, mentioned the toaster and soft bed but the hosts have not rectified these issues. Will not be returning.

  Mixed review.

  We stayed in Lazy Daze lodge in Bridlington. The lodge itself was lovely and clean, smelt fresh and new when we opened the door (I believe they were only installed in 2021). It took us a few minutes to find the key safe as it blends in (it’s almost opposite the door attached to the fence). Everything worked fine. The “kettle” in the kitchen was a little odd, it’s a drinks machine which boils water very quickly, but the water quantity vs mug size doesn’t match, so you either end up with half a cup, or it overflows. The main downside to this lodge is it’s position. It’s right next to a busy main road, there is a small hedge in between, but that doesn’t stop the noise. There’s a constant flow of traffic (cars, lorries, tractors, farming machinery) all day long from around 5.30am until 10pm. Oh, and on some days the drain cleaning lorry arrives at 7am and empties the drain system directly behind Lazy Daze lodge. Thankfully the road does quieten down overnight, but we couldn’t wait to leave the lodge during the day to get away from the constant drone of traffic. Hazy Daze lodge is the lodge next door, so it’s a little bit further away from the road, but I don’t think it will be much better than Lazy Daze as far as road noise is concerned. We will not be going back to Lazy Daze because of the road noise, which is a shame as the lodge itself is lovely.

  This should be called Hollow House not Cosy Cottage as it is very echoey and hollow.

  The good side: it is near the beach, the beds were comfortable although the double was very soft. It was mostly clean inside and there was a huge tv which the kids loved. The bad side: the outside is filthy and looks like the windows haven't been cleaned for a couple of years. The curtain in the living room is torn and the net is just a small piece of single fabric. There is a tiny yard at the back with the high wall of a hotel looming behind it. No attempt has been made to make it pleasant so the view from the back is awful. To make matters worse there is also a huge extractor fan going 18/24 hours so you have to keep the windows in the back bedrooms and kitchen shut. There is no way of drying anything - no tumble dryer, not even a line in the yard - and this in a house near the beach. The decor is tatty - an attempt at shabby chic I imagine which is just shabby. The bedding is 100% cheap polyester. I have never stayed in a holiday let with polyester bedding. There towels were small and thin. There were exactly 5 usable mugs in the kitchen - the 6th was cracked all over the bottom; the fridge was small and the bottom shelf on the door had been removed. I expect better from a Sykes-let house. Sykes used to have a good reputation for the quality of their properties but times must have changed as this is one of the poorest holiday lets I have ever rented.

  Had a lovely getaway, the property was nice, modern and tidy, however could of done with a good hoover as there was a lot of dog hairs especially on the carpet or even provide a hoover in the property so we could of used it.

  We had a problem accessing the heating, despite the lovely weather in the day, every morning the property got really cold which resulted in my 1 year old to wake up frequently early hours because she was cold, we contacted Sykes who kindly spoke to the owner regarding the issue and we was told the owner could not do anything as they was 4 hours away, no other help or information was given, we tried everything but the heating would just not work so we ended up having to buy a plug in heater :( One other thing I would like to mention is information on where to take your rubbish, there was no signs or information where the on site waste bins are we had to contact Sykes to ask, maybe just add it to the information sheet in the folder so that other guests know where they are, and also provide a hoover. Despite those mentioned above we did enjoy our stay and we would recommend this property to others and also return in the future :)

  Had a nice stay with my dog but it's a studio not a one bed apartment.

  Not much room between bed and table so have lovely bruises on my thigh thanks to the bedpost corner. Flooded the bathroom as no instructions left as to which tap worked which shower head. Could have done with an eye mask as the overhead light was on from dusk till dawn and the blinds aren't blackout ones. Read other reviews and took a digital indoor aerial with me which I stuck to the window. TV worked as normal after retuning to aerial setting otherwise you have to sign in to each app. The instructions were there for the TV but they didn't work as previous occupants had attached It to a laptop and not reset it. It was well equipped and short walk to shops and bus station and across the road from The Spa. Sam the caretaker was lovely. She sorted the problem I had with the central heating but then it had problems again. Only there 4 nights and it was warm anyway so didn't bother her again. Wouldn't stay again though.
