  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Chalet 1 on the Snooty fox site.

  It was a little confusing on arrival as it wasn't clear where we needed to go to find the chalet however another guest pointed us in the right direction. The chalet was clean and had ample amenities. We were provided with a kettle, microwave, toaster, cutlery for two, a tin bottle opener, bin bags and a dustpan and brush. There was also washing up liquid, tea and coffee, hand wash and hand cream and a tea towel which was great. The fridge was very small, a two pint of milk couldn't stand upright, and were it not for the fact we visited in January and could chill stuff outside it would have been a real pain. The staff provided plenty of towels and even brought us some fresh ones during our stay. The room was warm and the TV had freeview. The wifi wasn't great, however our phone signal was good. We could have done with some coat pegs as we had to put coats on the chair. I also struggled to find the bins to dispose of our rubbish and didn't see any recycling stations, this could have been an oversight but the lack of recycling was disappointing. The hot tub was clean, maintained and within a private area which was a really nice touch as you didn't feel overlooked. The site was well kept but quite empty and the bar was only open Fri-Sun. The location was good for catching a bus to Scarborough which out of season was only £2 for a single ticket and came hourly. There was a lovely pub which served hearty, well cooked and delicious meals in West Heslerston which is just 5 minutes drive down the road. Overall we had a great stay and would recommend the site for a short break for adults.

  We found the property to be clean and warm but in need of an update.

  The 13amp single socket on the landing was loose and needed repair before it could be safely used. As a retired electronics engineer turned latterly to a health and safety inspector I was disappointed to find an electrical outlet in that state. I couldn’t see the point of having a bath with a shower over the bath when the bath taps only fed the shower and wouldn’t fill the bath, why have a bath you couldn’t use unless you wanted to spent an age filling it with the shower. We particularly pick sites with secure outdoor space so we can relax outside with a coffee, my wife has a disability that impacts her walking so we usually stay at the property’s every other day and sit out talking ect. The outdoor space was disgusting. The grass was 13/14cm long and when I checked it I found several places where dogs had been to the toilet. I picked some up but gave up in disgust, if you want pictures I can send you some. The table and two chairs had an ashtray full of water and cigarette ash and stubbed out cigarettes. The neighbours next door even offered the use of their garden for our use because of the state of our space. As a plus point the parking was easily accessed and had ample room for two cars if needed. Overall my view was, although the house was warm and the sleeping arrangements warm and comfortable we would not pick the house again. I will add, but I’m not surprised, this is the first Sykes cottage we have stayed in that had no comments book for customer feed back.

  We enjoyed our stay, but did have a few concerns with the property.

  Firstly was the cleanliness, the floors were unclean, and we found part of a false nail on the bathroom floor. Also the bedding was dark and thus we were unable to tell how clean it was. Also all of our towels were damp on arrival, and so were the additional towels we requested. On arrival we checked the hot tub and were disappointed to find it was not clean nor hot. We were informed that it had been drained and cleaned that morning and that the cleaner had forgotten to turn it on. This meant we were unable to use it all day. We have been offered a £40 refund for this. There were flies in the hot tub which someone removed with a net, and there was also sediment at the bottom which we were told would be picked up by the filter, however this remained there over the days. When the hot tub was heated the next day it was very overfilled, so water spilled over the edges when we tried to get in. The room itself was nicely presented, as was the patio area, but the cleanliness and issues with the hot tub left us feeling quite disappointed.

  Margaret’s absolutely stunning holiday property did not disappoint.

  The location is prefect, just a short walk to the sea to town, and the photos don’t do the house justice - the decor is beautiful, as is the garden. The property was absolutely spotless, with lots of home comforts, luxurious linens and everything that you could need for a very comfortable stay. The tvs in the main bedroom and dining room, as well of the lounge were very much appreciated on an evening with teenagers, so we could all relax and do our own thing separately if needed. The downstairs loo was a bonus too, particularly as I have poor mobility and I wasn’t sure when we booked if it would have one. The master bedroom is beautifully spacious, with a lovely en-suite including a bath and provided bubble bath, which was a great way to end the day. We all really appreciated the homemade cake and jams, what a lovely surprise that was. Margaret the owner, was great at communicating too, and although there were zero issues, I’m sure she’d reply swiftly if there were any. We’d definitely like to return.

  It is a lovely little chalet.

  We were there in late January/ early February, I can imagine it would be nice to sit on the fully enclosed veranda in summer. On arrival, there was no milk or oat milk, which was on the list of 'what to expect', however we had taken some with us just in case. The mattress was very soft and feels like it needs replacing. The same with the L shaped seating. There were only 3 mugs, not a huge problem, as when our friends came round, we used one of the 3 small tea cups. We found the sweeping brush which was provided was full of hairs, apart from that the chalet was clean, and well equipped. The instructions/ welcome book were very clear and helpful. A nice touch to have a caddy full of dog treats. The central heating an air con/ fan heater worked very well to warm the rooms very quickly. There are LOTS of rabbits around the chalets, which are nice to watch, but very tempting for our dogs! The owners went above and beyond to support us with a request regarding our dogs.
