Shower cubicle small and gloomy. None of the electrical items showed that they had been pat tested. Double bed very creaky and low to the ground. Could hear upstairs moving about all the time as well as hear them talking.

Location was very good with regard to distance to Scarborough and Whitby et cetera. The area was quiet and peaceful. One or two negative points where the size of the shower literally two of us couldnât use the shower because we were too big and Iâm only 6 foot one. The occupants in the upstairs cottage Vista with loud noisy and her two children that jumped up and down, and ran constantly causing terrible noise downstairs where we were. The front Drive of the property is meant for two vehicles, but is quite tight in trying to get two vehicles parked without damage. However, on a positive note, we may use the cottage again.

I gave Onley mark less than to for cleanliness as between wardrobe and wall lived my worst nightmare, huge amount of spider webs and a spider. On the surface all is spotless it was just hidden places where cobwebs are and look as though they have been there a long time. The only comfort problem I had was at my age late 70s the bed was too low and very creaky. My husband is a restless sleeper and because the bed creaked with every move I had a bad nights sleep. Apart from that it was great and all my moans re webs and spiders may not bother anyone else.
