We had a fantastic time at the old chapel. Small but suitable for a weeks holiday with comfy bed and sitting room and conservatory furniture great shower. Be aware only a undercounter fridge with a very small freezer compartment not the one in the photos.Great garden dogs loved it and secure. Yes there was alot of flies but it was hot weather and it is a working farm,Lovely local walk along the canal.We visited hornsea most days only a short drive. We would definitely book again thanks for a lovely break

This is a lovely little cottage in quite a remote area. Lots of lovely beaches not far away, Mappleton Sands is lovely and dog friendly. Inside is comfy and cosy. It’s well equipped with most things you need. A dishwasher rather than a washing machine would have been my choice but the kitchen otherwise has everything needed. Nicely decorated bedroom. Bed is 4’6” and not king size as the ad states. Shower is amazingly brilliant! There is also a conservatory to sit in. It is on a working farm and there is noise which may bother some people. There are also a lot of flies as there are sheep and cattle on the farm, this of course wouldn’t be a problem on cooler days. Yes I would go again, it is very good value. but, the place could do with a good clean. Owner very nice.
