Stephen May 2026

“Hi The property is well placed for a varied coastline with plenty to see and do.”

From birdwatching at Bempton to fairground rides at Bridlington. The property was clean and well maintained. Downstairs was spacious and light. The sofas could do with an upgrade though Upstairs The beds were comfortable and the rooms were dark for sleeping with the velux blinds. Good wardrobe/drawer space in large bedroom but storage in second bedroom was sparse. Bathroom could do with upgrading decor wise, shower and hot water plentiful. Hot tub was well appreciated!! Only myself to blame at 6'2 I spent sometime dodging the low ceiling and beams. I would not say it is suitable for 4 people but for a couple, three at most, it's little quirks didn't really spoil anything.

- Stephen, May 2026

Hi Stephen, Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. We’re so pleased to hear you enjoyed the cottage’s location and were able to explore everything the Yorkshire coast has to offer, from Bempton Cliffs to Bridlington. It’s also great to know you found the cottage clean, comfortable and enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub after your days out. We really appreciate your constructive feedback regarding the sofas, bedroom storage and bathroom décor. Guest feedback is invaluable in helping us continue to improve, and we’ll certainly take your comments on board as we plan future updates. As you mentioned, the cottage is full of character, and the low ceilings and exposed beams are part of its original charm, although we do appreciate they can be a challenge for taller guests! Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future. Kind Regards, Jacki and The Team at The Grange Holidays Property Owner
Paul March 2026

“The downstairs was well presented with and enormous kitchen.”

The bedrooms however were small with very low ceilings/beams. Both of us are under 5feet 6inches but still bumped our heads. I can't see how you can comfortably use one of the beds in the twin room ; sitting up in bed is impossible. Overall, we had a good stay , very quiet and the hot tub was fantastic.

- Paul, March 2026

Hi Paul, Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay, especially the spacious kitchen, peaceful setting, and the hot tub. We appreciate your comments regarding the bedrooms. The cottage is a traditional property with characterful features such as low ceilings and beams, which are part of its original layout and charm. We do understand this may not suit everyone, and we always aim to be as transparent as possible in our descriptions and photos. It’s great to hear that overall you had a good stay, and we hope to welcome you back again in the future. Kind Regards, Jacki and The Team at The Grange Holidays Property Owner
Susan September 2025

“Downstairs was ok, very spacious, settees probably due for replacing.”

Upstairs was very cramped with dangerous beams throughout. One of the twin beds was right under a beam making it highly dangerous. Room was so small there were no drawers or wardrobe. Bathroom needs updating.

- Susan, September 2025

Hi Sue, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re pleased to hear you found the downstairs spacious and comfortable. We do take on board your comments regarding the settees, the upstairs space, and the beams, as this is a traditional cottage, the beams are part of the character. Your points about the bathroom and storage are very helpful and will be considered in our future improvement plans. We’re always striving to make our cottages as welcoming and practical as possible, so thank you again for your honesty. Kind Regards, Jacki and The Team at The Grange Holidays Property Owner
Emma August 2025

“This is such a cute little place to stay and the hot tub is of course a wonderful bonus.”

It accommodation is very well equipped for us and even the dog had a welcome pack which is a lovely touch. We will definitely stay at Kittiwake again, thanks for having us!

- Emma, August 2025

Hi Emma, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay at Kittiwake and that both you and your dog felt so welcome. It’s wonderful that you found the cottage well equipped and the hot tub a bonus too. We’d be very happy to welcome you back for another stay soon!

Stephen August 2025

“The only downside was the bed was broke but it was ok with the mattress on the floor.”

We had a fantastic holliday and the place we stayed in was lovely. I would like to go again some day.

- Stephen, August 2025

Hi Stephen, Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your experience. We’re delighted you had a fantastic holiday and enjoyed your stay with us Property Owner
Michael August 2025

“The cottage’s was really nice inside, the main issue was the double bed being broken, the screws that hold the slates in was loose causing the slats to come out 4 time over two days.”

So my partner had to sleep in a single bed. Due to this issue we didn’t sleep very well with fear of the bed collapsing.

- Michael, August 2025

Hi Micheal, Thank you for your feedback. We’re really pleased to hear you liked the inside of the cottage, but we’re very sorry about the issue with the bed during your stay. We completely understand how frustrating this must have been and apologise that it affected your comfort and sleep. Please be assured that we are ordering a brand new bed so this won’t be a problem for future guests. Kind Regards, Jacki and The Team at The Grange Property Owner

Kitchen has everything you need. Outside space very well maintained.

- Kathryn Naomi, July 2025

Hi Kathryn, Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We’re really pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and found the cottage clean, well-equipped, and peaceful.

David June 2025

“Wooden floor in lounge would be more appropriate in dog friendly unit”

- David, June 2025

Hi David, Thank you for your feedback, we really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. We're so pleased you chose to stay with us and thank you for highlighting the suggestion about the lounge flooring. We always aim to strike a balance between comfort and practicality, especially in our dog-friendly cottages, so this is a helpful point for us to consider when planning future updates. We hope you had an enjoyable stay overall and would love to welcome you back again soon. Kind Regards, Jacki and The Team at The Grange Holidays Property Owner
N June 2025

“We enjoyed the stay.”

The rooms downstairs are pleasantly large. the lawn at the back was good for the 2 dogs; we used long leads attached to a metal peg screwed into the ground. The 2nd bedroom is quite small so why is it half-filled with enormous, decorative, useless cushions? The location on the edge of Flamborough is ideal for frequent visits to RSPB Bempton Cliffs (wonderful) but also for the co-op and pubs in the village.

- N, June 2025

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're really pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and that the spacious living areas and lawned garden worked well for your dogs. It’s also great to know the location suited you – being close to RSPB Bempton and Flamborough village is definitely a highlight for many of our guests. We appreciate your comments about the bedroom cushions, they’re intended to add a cosy touch, but we understand they may not be to everyone’s taste, and we’ll certainly take your feedback on board. We’d love to welcome you again in the future. Kind Regards, Jacki and The Team at The Grange Holidays Property Owner
Alan April 2025

“We had a family break including our dog, had a great time, lovely accommodation, had everything you need, comfortable and felt secure If there was any issues it would be that its pet friendly but out the back its not fenced off so the dog couldn't be let off the lead to run around.”

Also inside the main bedroom and bathroom, for someone like myself who is 6ft the slopeing roof and beams were a problem, obviously it's part of the structure of the roof, but this didn't detract from our break, its very close to everything, short drive to Bridlington, bit further for Scarborough. One thing if your planning on eating in the accommodation most nights take plenty of food and drink as there is no supermarkets nearby. However had a great time, highly recommended.

- Alan, April 2025

Hi Alan, Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We're so pleased to hear you had a great family break and found the accommodation comfortable, well-equipped, and secure. We appreciate your feedback regarding the garden and the sloped ceilings — both are helpful for us and future guests to be aware of. Thank you also for the tip about bringing supplies for those planning to dine in. We're delighted you enjoyed the location and really appreciate the recommendation. We'd love to welcome you back in the future! Kind Regards Jacki and The Team at The Grange Holidays Property Owner
Simon February 2025

“A really pleasant place to stay very clean and tidy.”

My only concern was the bathroom floor was very spongy to say the least other than that it was a very peaceful and comfortable place to stay

- Simon, February 2025

Hi Simon, Thank you for your kind words! We're delighted you found the cottage clean, tidy, and a peaceful place to stay. We appreciate your feedback about the bathroom floor and will look into this. We hope to welcome you back in the future! Kind Regards Jacki and The Team at The Grange Holidays Property Owner
Linda January 2025

“A lovely cottage which was spotlessly clean.”

Great to have towels ect to clean dogs as weather was atrocious. Only thing I would suggest that it could have enclosed garden which would be good in the summer as you could leave door open for dogs

- Linda, January 2025

Hi Linda, Thank you for your lovely review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the cottage and found it spotlessly clean. It's great to know the towels and other items for the dogs came in handy, especially with the challenging weather. We truly appreciate your suggestion about having an enclosed garden. This is something we plan on doing in the near future to make stays even more enjoyable for our guests and their furry friends. We look forward to welcoming you and your dogs back again soon! Best wishes, Jacki and The Team at The Grange Holidays Property Owner

“Home from home, everything inside was absolutely perfect.”

A very high standard. The shared garden with the other connecting cottages are Beautiful, but boundaries are unsafe for dogs

Philip July 2024

“The holiday cottage was nice and clean but attention needed to some aspects: Coffe Machine not working properly and leaked badly Fridge freezer badly needs defrosting, drawers in freezer difficult to open due to build up of ice Bathroom door did not lock Would not recommend Sykes Cottages due to inaccuracy of listing (ie enclosed garden), also very difficult to speak to anyone and didn’t respond to emails.”

Only made verbal contact when the owner of the cottage got involved

- Philip, July 2024

Dear Phillip, Thank you for your review and for bringing these issues to our attention. We're glad to hear that you found the holiday cottage nice and clean, but we're sorry to learn about the problems you experienced during your stay.

“The beds were comfortable The location is ideal for us We felt at home in this spacious property We liked the welcome pack for our dog and the drinks/biscuits for us We liked the night lights in the property The only downside were the settees They were too low and not comfortable for us and no enclosed area for our dog Lovely place though.”

Karyn June 2024

“Firstly, the main complaint we had was the no secure garden for our 3 dogs.”

The cottage next to us did have a fenced off garden. We were informed by the maintainer that all the cottages are being given Fenced off gardens gradually as we were not the only people to complain. The electric oven didn't work, so we had a new one two days before leaving. So prior to that we were using the microwave or going to the local pub, that was brilliant food. There was no vacuum, broom/mop in the cottage so it was difficult to keep the floor clean . We don't like to leave any property with mess. My husband did get a vacuum from the laundry room (wasn't sure if that was correct).The area wasn't ideal for dogs, we only found one good beech for them to have a good run around.

- Karyn, June 2024

Dear Karyn, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We appreciate your comments and apologise for the inconveniences you experienced during your stay. We understand your concern regarding the lack of a secure garden for your dogs. We're in the process of gradually installing fenced-off gardens for all the cottages, and we regret that this wasn't completed for your stay. We apologise for any inconvenience this caused and appreciate your understanding. We are also sorry to hear about the issue with the electric oven and are glad we could replace it before your departure. We recognise the inconvenience it caused during your stay, and we're grateful for your patience. Regarding cleaning supplies, we apologise for the oversight. We aim to provide all necessary cleaning equipment for our guests' comfort and convenience, and we've addressed this with our housekeeping team. It's perfectly fine that your husband retrieved a vacuum from the laundry room, but we are looking into ensuring all items needed are readily available in each cottage. We understand that finding suitable areas for your dogs to run and play was challenging, and we appreciate your feedback on this. We strive to provide a welcoming environment for all guests, including their pets, and will consider this in our ongoing efforts to improve our offerings. Thank you again for your valuable feedback. We hope you had some enjoyable moments during your stay and that you'll consider returning in the future once our improvements are fully implemented. Best regards, Jacki and The Team at The Grange Holidays Property Owner
Richard June 2024

“The only reason I scored a nine for comfort was that I did bump my head a couple of times upstairs on the low beams.”

I am six foot tall so this maybe more of a problem to someone taller.
