It is located at the end of a very long drive and so I wouldnât recommend it, if you donât have your own transport. The cottage is in close driving distance of Bridlington, the lighthouse and other amenities. It was lovely and quiet as we were the only family on site at the time. The enclosed courtyard was great for the dogs as we didnât have to worry about them escaping. The cottage had everything we needed. It is clean and modern and is stocked with soap, dishwasher tablets etc . There are two bathrooms one with bath and one with shower. Only minor issues were that there is no lock on the door of the bathroom with the shower and taller members of our group found the bed too short as they had footboards but other than that we enjoyed our holiday very much and would return and recommend to friends.

In a beautiful spot, and the host Richard was excellent. We would not use Sykes again though. We initially booked 14 nights, and decided a few days before the booking that we would like to add an extra night as we could see that the cottage was available, making 15 nights in total. Sykes were not helpful at all and wanted to charge an astronomical amount for booking an extra night (including a £30 amendment cost). This was not negotiable at all and not at all helpful.

Our main concern was that the showers extractor was not powerful enough, the walls after 3 of us had showered were very wet . But it's a great place to stay and we will be booking again next year .
