“Lovely cottage, scrupulously clean, exactly as listing.”

Everything one could ask for (even a spare toothbrush!). Lovely welcome pack, with a delicious home made cake. We could not have asked for more. Few minutes walk to the town and seafront, lots of cafes, bars and restaurants and shops. Short drive or bus to Beverley ( the Minster is well worth a visit) and Bridlington. The Mere was a lovely walk even on a cold but bright January afternoon.

“Fairview in Hornsea is a beautiful cottage with a lovely garden in a quiet location but only minutes from the small town and 20 minutes walk from the beach.”

Everything you might need has been thought of. There is a tricky circular staircase which would prove difficult for anyone with mobility issues. It is one of the best places we've stayed in

Sarah June 2024

“Gorgeous cottage, very quiet location but still literally just a couple of minutes walk to restaurant, church, shops and several pubs.”

Bit longer walk to beach and lovely longer walks along side of beautiful mere. (no footpath all the way round). Very well equipped cottage with bright kitchen and pretty garden. Very clean and comfy. Would love to stay again some time. Generous welcome gifts - thank you.

“Fair Place is a lovely cottage in the centre of the town within walking distance of all the amenities.”

The cottage was immaculately clean, well kept and well equipped, an ideal base for us to explore the area both locally and further afield. On this occasion the weather was atrocious - cold, wet and windy. Whilst this didn't stop us exploring we were grateful for the central heating at the cottage on our return. We would like to thank the owners for making us feel welcome.

“Great cottage, very comfortable and cosy and spotlessy clean.”

Jarle October 2023

“Fair Place is a beautiful cottage and a hidden gem full of character.”

The cottage was extremely clean and cosy with a lovely fireplace. The beds were really comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped. We loved the special treats waiting for us on arrival, plus coffee and tea. The lemon drizzle cake was gorgeous! Our son had lots of fun counting the mice. Although the weather did not allow for spending time in the garden, it is very well upkept and must be lovely in summer.

- Jarle, October 2023
Susan October 2023

“Lovely, cosy cottage, with a pretty garden.”

Situated in a quiet area, near the mere, but a few steps into the town. The delicious treats we found on arrival, were much appreciated. A very enjoyable stay.

Judith July 2023

“Fair Place is a gorgeous cottage, the pictures did not really do it justice; it is comfortable and homely, well equipped and beautifully clean.”

The owners have thought of everything to make it a perfect stay. Location is great with lots within walking distance including a good choice of restaurants/pubs/takeaways as well as the seafront, and there are some lovely places to visit within a short drive. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend Fair Place.

Tracey July 2023

“Perfect little cottage once you get used to the spiral staircase.”

. if this cottage hasn't got it, you don't need it

Peter April 2023

“Fair Place cottage is well worth a visit, cleanliness is second to none with everything you could possibly need to make your holiday a great one, the sun streams into the lovely kitchen and the doors open up to a beautiful garden.”

Hornsea is a lovely quaint seaside town with just enough going on to make it most enjoyable, larger resorts are well within easy reach but Hornsea works well for us, we love it and a stay at Fair Place cottage makes for a most memorable holiday.

- Peter, April 2023
Janet March 2023

“We would recommend this property.”

Accurate description and photographs. Parking not a problem. Lovely and clean and warm. Ideal location to stroll into Hornsea and the sea front. Great to have lemon drizzle cake and milk for a brew on arrival. Owners can be contacted if you need anything.

“Really can't fault fair place it was very clean and we had a lovely stay, The cottage is in a perfect location to see all the sights of the town by foot and the local area by car.”

The cottage has everything you need and the welcome information answered all the question we had. Also the lemon cake was a nice touch on arrival. Thankyou again for a lovely break.

Peter March 2022

“Fair Place cottage is without doubt the best holiday cottage we have stayed in, it is furnished to a standard seldom found in rentals, we felt at home the minute we stepped inside, there was everything in the cottage you could possibly need and then some!”

the garden is lovely and well tended. Just a short walk to the seafront, town centre and the Mere, with some really good eateries just around the corner. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at Fair Place and we loved Hornsea.

- Peter, March 2022
Nicholas September 2021

“It was a lovely cottage, very clean and everything we needed.”

Sadly, the bathroom downstairs, bedrooms upstairs and in between was the fireman’s pole very steep spiral stairs going straight up was lethal in the middle of the night. Perhaps a little more explanation on the spiral staircase and the bathroom being downstairs would have been more helpful to us.

- Nicholas, September 2021
Eleanor August 2021

“Lovely little cottage ideal for 2 adults and 2 children.”

Really clean and welcoming, extra little touches were lovely fresh flowers, homemade lemon drizzle cake.

- Eleanor, August 2021
Linton August 2021

“Beautiful immaculate cottage in perfect location.”

Everything catered for. Flowers and homemade lemon drizzle cake on arrival was a lovely surprise. Spotlessly clean and the garden was perfect too to enjoy a glass of wine and coffee with our cake. Location is perfect to explore. First experience of Hornsea exceeded our expectations and all our family thoroughly enjoyed our holiday. The cottage made it. We will return - thank you to Tracy and Michael

Ravi July 2021

“Amazed at how clean the cottage was, this particularly comforting and put us at ease during covid restrictions (week before Freedom Day).”

The living room is a little tight and not very comfortable with 2 single sofa chairs and one 2 seater sofa - that is our only complaint! The kitchen space made up for it as it was so light and airy and my two children (aged 7 and 8) were happy to sit at the dining table to play games, cards or get creative. The garden was a fantastic bonus! Used for morning coffees and relaxing evenings - fabulous! And a park and big green space for ball games literally across the road. Well equipped kitchen, lots of unexpected extras such as condiments, tea towels, washing up liquid and sponge, numerous cleaning products and anti-bac wipes. Even the bathroom had shower gels and bath soaks! Do take note of the advertising due to the iron spiral staircase - not a good property for under 5s or people with mobility issues.

- Ravi, July 2021
Joan June 2021

“There was everything I needed for a lovely stay in fair place cottage.”

It was very comfortable and a lovely private garden to sit and enjoy a drink in the evening and not overlooked. There was ample shops nearby and eateries to accommodate most tastes. I could imagine the spiral staircase to be troublesome to certain less able bodied persons, as it was enough taking a suitcase up the stairs, but I also think it's a lovely feature of the house. I think the upmost care and attention to detail has been made to make my holiday feel safe and enjoyable.

“Absolutely fabulous cottage.”

It had everything you could want, and more! Very pretty and quirky cottage in a very quiet location, with a beautiful private garden. It was absolutely spotlessly clean, felt very Covid safe. A lovely cottage in a great location. You surprised us Hornsea!

“A lovely cosy, home from home.”

Very well presented. A great location for shops and bars, and within walking distance of the Mere and the sea.

Christopher March 2020

“50 years of staying in Gites,Villas and cottages on holidays .”

We have never stayed in such a well loved and immaculate premises. Every thing you need is at hand in the cottage. Even cookery books. If your staying here there is a large Tesco’s with Petrol pumps less than 5 mins drive all your provisions can be purchased there. Look up the Legendary Local Fish and Chip Restaurant /Takeaway. Pubs within 150 metres in High St but this cottage is away from the High St and does not suffer any traffic or surrounding noise. We hope to return but suspect you will have to get in early for bookings. It is also a short walk to the Hornsea Mere and a larger walk to the Sea Front. Be aware people talk to you in the streets!!!Us Southerners aren’t used to that. Also lovely garden to sit out in with neighbours cat that comes to see you. You won’t be disappointed in booking these premises. Thanks

Alistair November 2019

“Very nice cosy and comfortable place.”

Central but very quiet location. Really appreciated the tea, milk, biscuits and homemade cake. The place was spotlessly clean. Felt very at home. Thank you for a lovely place to stay in Hornsea.

- Alistair, November 2019
Jane October 2019

“Fairplace is an immaculately finished, clean and warm cottage for two or three adults.”

We appreciated the central heating plus instant heat of the gas fire and continuously available hot water in a week at the end of October so definitely would be great for Summer or Winter stay. The cottage is truly 'fully equipped' and the owners have taken particular care with bedding and furnishing to ensure that visitors feel comfortable and 'at home'. ( Actually MUCH better than my home!) Potential visitors should note the description of the feature spiral wrought iron staircase- which was no problem for us- and the beautifully presented downstairs bathroom. We were very impressed by the light and airy kitchen diner, too. The cottage is very convenient, only 1 minute walk from cafes, 7 minutes walk from Hornsea Mere and only a few minutes more to the sea front and beach. There is parking in front of the cottage and fast WiFi. We were very impressed by Fairplace and had a great stay. Thank you!

Justin August 2019

“Loved the cottage, it had everything you could need and in a great location too.”

Handy for the mere, Hornsea town and its seafront. Also handy for the park which our 7 year old loved. A lovely welcome pack too with milk, tea and coffee and a delicious home made lemon drizzle cake. Beds were really comfy too! Stairs weren't a problem once our suitcases were upstairs, although we're not as tall as some of the other people who've mentioned them before. All in all, a brilliant cottage.

Barbara July 2019

“What a wonderful cottage.”

Everything is of the highest spec and beautifully clean. A perfect choice if you want to visit Hornsea and the surrounding area.

Jennifer November 2018

“Delightful cottage.”

Spotlessly clean with bright spacious kitchen/dining area, cosy lounge and comfortable bedrooms. In spite of being pensioners we had no issues with the spiral stairs. The location is ideal - quiet and peaceful but very close to a variety of shops and within easy walking distance of the sea.

- Jennifer, November 2018
Elizabeth October 2018

“A cozy, clean comfortable cottage.”

The only problem was the spiral staircase. Not the best thing if you need the loo in the night. If it wasn’t for that we’d go back.

- Elizabeth, October 2018
Julie August 2018

“Fair place is a beautiful cottage, spotless and well equipped.”

..Ideally located in the center of Hornsea, but also quietly tucked away from noise and traffic .... Wouldnt hesitate to book this property again..... However! There is a spiral staircase which would make it unsuitable for travellers who are

Florence June 2018

“Everything in the cottage was superb.”

There were a couple of things which could be a problem for a group of 4 people. The beautiful spiral staircase could be a hazard for children or any person with a disability. The second bedroom was smaller than the main one and the double bed was against the wall. I emphasise that given these, very small, inconveniences for us we praise the owners for the excellence of the hospitality. Brenda and Malcolm

Steven May 2018

“The cottage is very well maintained and in a pretty location very close to The Mere.”

Shops, including a wonderful butcher and restaurants were a few minutes walk away, no cars needed. We found it was within walking distance of the beach. I did know about the spiral staircase beforehand but by the end of the week I could have done without it!! On a slightly more serious note the stairs are difficult to negotiate with suitcases...soft bags are better and of course the bathroom is downstairs which may be a problem for some. The small bedroom is fine but be aware the bed is only accessible from one side and also had a footboard so no climbing in and out by the foot of the bed. Do not let this put you off, the cottage is so clean and fresh. We found the enclosed garden perfect on warm days for breakfast, coffee, evenings and enjoying a drink at the end of the day. The lovely fresh flowers, coffee machine, fresh milk, tea and delicious homade lemon drizzle cake were unexpected and a very welcome touch. Thank you so much.

- Steven, May 2018
Andrew May 2018

“This cottage is just perfection.”

.. located in a quiet little spot but close to the mere and a nice walk to the sea front via the town centre, it is beautifully furnished, beautifully kept and with luxurious towels and an excellent range of utensils pots and pans. In addition a lovely well kept rear garden which was really quite a sun trap and where we enjoyed a cuppa when we arrived, along with the lovely home made lemon drizzle cake and quality biscuits left for us... and breakfast every morning in the sunshine too. Round the corner was a little Italian restaurant, reasonably priced and which exceeded expectations. On an evening when it got chilly we switched on the gas "log burning" stove... very cozy! All in all a great little place...

- Andrew, May 2018
Michael March 2018

“Cottage was great.”

Spiral staircase was interesting. Clean new look to all rooms. Living room has a comfy 2 seater and 2 chairs that aren't as welcoming. Room is cosy but seating could be better. I would stay again if in the area.

- Michael, March 2018
Debbie February 2018

“If there were 5 star cottages this would be one of them.”

The owners were friendly and nothing was too much trouble. This cottage is truly a gem of a find and I would definitely book it again.

Pamela December 2017

“Delightful cottage extremely clean and well equipped and would suit a younger couple.”

Unfortunately, we found it uncomfortable to relax in and should have paid more notice to the spiral staircase and downstairs loo. We both tend to go to the loo at night and navigating the stairs in the middle of the night proved a nightmare. My husband is 6ft 6 and do the low beams etc throughout the cottage became another challenge. We felt a little claustrophobic and so cut short our stay. THe cottage is really well located as is Hornsea itself, I would imagine it becomes a dream in the summer months when you can sit outside.

“Lovely clean well equipped cottage with lots of nice touches.”

It wa extremely cold during our visit but we returned after a walk to this lovely cosy comfortable cottage.
