South Bay Beach House

We have stayed at South Bay Beach House several times over the past few years and have always been very pleased with our experience.

It's position close to the promenade is excellent and I can recommend the property.

We had a wonderful family holiday at South Bay Beach House.

The accommodation is really spacious with lots of room for everyone. The house was spotlessly clean and the beds really comfortable. Very good value for money.

Hello, We have just finished our lovely long bank holiday weekend as a family in South Bay Beach House.

Whilst we had an amazing time there were some issues. Rather than leave a negative review which I don’t want to do as I know this is someone’s income, I do feel feedback is crucial. I have some free time on my hands after the weekend, so I wanted to send our group’s collective thoughts about the house. I will try to counter the more negative with the positive sides to the property. We also wanted to ensure that the cleaners didn’t think it was us who had left/done these things. The room at the top of the house at the back with bunkbeds really smells of sick and was therefore unusable – fortunately some of our group agreed to share therefore they moved rooms. There was a Coke bottle on a bedroom window ledge. Dirty sock floor in ground floor bedroom Underneath all beds and furniture and sofas and armchairs in living room. These had clearly not been swept or vacuumed for a very long time i.e. Hairball under beds Three old dog treats including one ‘mackerel’ one. Ripped cornflakes box The majority of the surfaces in all rooms stained and sticky Broken pool table - dangerous for young children when erected and when not The majority of the crockery, glasses and cutlery was dirty and we had to wash them all in the dishwasher Most of the larger oven pots needed washing before use Flashing and noisy hallway light on 1st floor landing Bedside light didn’t work in one room – despite putting new bulb in Boiler wasn’t working on arrival and we had to restart it on a couple of times – it finally worked on the 2nd day All mirrors in the house had hand prints and fingerprints The fuse box blew twice One very broken toilet seat in one ensuite Recycling bin was half full when we arrived in the kitchen Back staircase had v dirty smears on walls This morning the dishwasher was still ‘on’ and going through a cycle when I woke at 8am – it had been put on at about 11pm Dining room table, place mats and coasters were all really dirty with encrusted food on them. The hard floors had not been washed before our arrival. We had to spend about an hour cleaning all the surfaces – tables, living room, coasters. We had to put on the dishwasher – some of the items had to be hand washed as the food was dried in too much. Whilst we completely understand that a house of that size with regular usage must be hard to maintain, so much of the about comments were down to basic everyday/handover cleaning. Such as mopping hard floors, vacuuming including under furniture. Checking the kitchen equipment was clean at each handover. It did honestly look like it hadn’t been cleaned at all apart from change of bedding. On the plus side it was a great size. The beds were comfortable and clean linen and towels. There was lots of equipment i.e. for children which we didn’t need all of them however it was evident that it was well equipped. Equally the kitchen had plenty of glasses, crockery, cutlery and oven dishes. Location was great and although we didn’t have any cars with us we saw there was plenty of spaces to park. Great size dining area so we could all sit around it together as a family. There was quite poor communication with Katrina/the person/people who manage it as I had asked in early March if we could arrive before 4pm, i.e. 3pm ish, and only received a reply on 30th April. By which time we had already had to book the train tickets. Luckily it was warm and dry enough so had we had to wait it would have been ok. We were hurrying in the morning to leave by 10am. At 10.10 someone came, unfriendly, saying he needed to go upstairs and check the beds. He then said checkout is at 10am. I had already said to him we would be out in 5 minutes and apologised for being a few minutes late. This felt unnecessarily rude and considering we left the house so much cleaner than when we found it, some politeness wouldn’t have been too much to ask. Again, I really do appreciate that people are on tight schedules to do the turnarounds but the fact that the house had barely been cleaned it felt a bit much. Thank you

We enjoyed a week's family holiday here.

The property is large and in a quiet street with private parking which we much appreciated. We also liked the fact that it is only a couple of hundred yards or so from the beach. The beds were comfortable and the property was well equipped and comfortable . We felt that the contract cleaners probably did the minimum. however. Some of the rooms had electric blinds which we operated with care, but in one room the blind did not respond to the remote control. and there were also some little things such as the door to the fridge had become disconnected to the fridge door which meant opeening two doors instead of one. The shower in room 2 lacked a non slip mat which made its use somewhat hazardous. Our only real complaint was that the central heating boiler cut out many times during its operating period and we had to reset it each time. This was a problem as the weather was cold and sometime the boiler did not come on in the afternoon or the morning when it should have. That said there were a number of electric heaters downstairs which we were able to use before the radiators became hot. Overall however the positives outweighed the few negative points.

On arrival there were issues with the heating but the owners went above and beyond to rectify this problem.

This is our fourth year staying at the property.

This is our 4th visit to this property.

It is very comfortable with plenty of space to spread out. We had a quick response from the owners to a problem with some of the radiators and good communication before and after our holiday. Family rooms are large. It’s in an ideal location being minutes walk from South beach, close to shops and facilities and for walkers, you have plenty of choice such as walking to Sewerby from the house and Flamborough Head and Bempton cliffs only a short drive away.

Had a lovely week just a few things that wanted to be dealt with like shower not working in one of the rooms and a couple of toilets not right .

But other wise its a lovely place to stay for a group of people.

Fanastic place close to all areas and it had everything we needed we look forward to coming back it made my 50th birthday special

South Bay Beach House is a beautiful property which is so spacious.

It has everything you could possibly need for a large group of people. We were a group of 14 adults and 3 small children,who had a whale of a time just chasing each other up and down stairs, going up one flight and coming down a different flight till their little hearts were content. It was quite an adventure for a 2 _4 and 5 year olds. We had a problem with a couple of the showers as couldn't get the temperature right with them,but we just used the other showers. We couldn't get the heating on. I phoned Katrina who got someone to come out asap and problem was solved. Maybe another bin could be provided in the kitchen for recycling purposes. Only other fault is dusty skirting boards in entrance hall We had a lovely stay and if we choose to visit Bridlington we would certainly choose this property again. We were 5 minutes walk to the beach and 15 minutes to the town centre.there were several places to eat, whether we wanted a snack or a meal.

We spent a lovely weekend here with friends, 16 in total.

The house is incredibly well equipped and accommodation comfortable. Off street parking was a bonus as we had 7 cars to accommodate. The location was perfect, a 2 minute walk to the beach and 10 minutes into town. We could well be returning to South Bay Beach House.

This cottage is great value for money.

The property had everything we needed.

It was spacious enough for the 8 adults and 8 kids and 2 dogs. It was in good proximity for the beach and we had a lovely week. Thank you

An amazing location close to the beach, and a beautiful house perfect for our large group.

Every bedroom is lovely, plenty of bathrooms and truly dog friendly. We had a great time and would definitely recommend South Bay Beach House, or use it again for a big group stay.

There was plenty of choice of rooms ,crockery and cutlery.

My daughter was a bit surprised by the size of the oven for 16 but she managed.. The position is excellent for access to the beach which is really good.

Great for a large family and excellent value for money.

Perfectly located near beautiful long beaches, and just a short walk to the town centre, which is packed with loads to see and do for everyone. It’s also a great base for exploring nearby spots like Scarborough, Filey, RSPB Bempton (we saw puffins!), and Flamborough Lighthouse with the Drinking Dinosaur (we even saw seals and dolphins!). Thanks to the owner and team who where super helpful and perfect in they communication pre, during and post. My little sister said “My favourites seaside holiday ever!”

Much improved from last 2 visits and much warmer.

Already booked for next year .

We had a lovely family 70th birthday it was so nice that we could all get together although some maintenance work is needed there are two dining room chairs that need attention, some of the crockery needs replacing and all the chipped ones thrown away, chips hold germs, another downstairs toilet would be good as everyone was using ours as they didn’t want to go back upstairs, also the stairs carpet needs replacing before someone catches their foot and falls otherwise we had a lovely time.

Very nice property, close to beach and amenities.

Very clean and comfortable. Plenty of parking and quiet at night. Excellent

Ideal location with acess to south beach at the end of the road and a short walk to town/harbour.

A comfortable, clean and well equiped house. My family of 10, inc 4 children, thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Off road parking a bonus. It was one of those holidays where the car stayed there for most of the time.

Not suitable for disabled people need a ramp at the front door.

Light switch for downstairs bedroom in wrong place. Furniture in the lounge very low.

This was our second stay-Superb location-We had heating issues in the downstairs rooms but the owner was very quick to respond.

We had a great stay at South Bay Beach House.

We were a mixed group of 11 adults and children. The property is extremely spacious with lots of sleeping options and was very comfortable. We loved the dining and bar area with a hatch through to the kitchen. There are some maintenance issues in some areas which the new owners seem aware of and have a plan to address them. But these were minor and did not effect our stay, we would be happy to stay again.

Fantastic space for a large family group, 3 generations including dogs!

Well equipped and in a great position for the South Beach with off road parking included. A couple of maintenance issues which we left a note of in a book provided by the new owners which I’m sure will be dealt with quickly.

We have stayed at this property several times over the years and have never been disappointed.

It now has a new owner, but everything was just as good as ever. We'll definitely be returning in the future.

This is a spacious property ideal for several generations holidaying together.

The very new owners are already busy with improvements and immediately took on board some of our suggestions. Our party really enjoyed the playroom and the pool table. Dogs are well catered for too.

As it was a crossover period with owners sone details were missing.

Original booking was 3pm check in but owner thought its was 4pm so Sykes must have informed her incorrectly. Also new owner did not have chance to let us know about rubbish recycling and each bin had domestic waste in. Not the owners fault as she was so nice and helpful but maybe when properties change hands there is a plan in place for customers House is great, location great and we had a great time Couple small maintenance issues which we left on a note for owner Thank you
