Amazing location away from main roads which was extremely quiet.
Just 50 minutes drive to Scarborough snd very close to York.
Lovely kitchen to a very high standard with well equipped utensils (lacking a pizza cutter was the only missing item)
Bed is very comfortable and bigger than a super king size.
Bathroom has a large walk-in shower with swirlflush toilet.
The views are stunning looking out over a beautiful countryside with the enclosed garden being a god send for our Beagle who like to 'explore' so keeping him safe.
The following are dislikes.
Sofas are very small and uncomfortable spoiling the comfort when relaxing. Needs a corner sofa where you can relax properly.
There is a driveway to the owners storage yard which is a few feet away from the window, wrecking privacy when vans drive past or delivery vehicles looking in (careful if sitting in your pants lol as you'll be seen).
Hot tub in garden is over looked by owners property which really didn't make us feel comfortable using it.
Kitchen has a great extraction for the hob with a metal outlet pipe going outside, sadly the outlet to this has a nonreturn flap which keeps flapping down on reverse wind causing a loud tapping like someone's tapping the windows which can disturb the dog or you if your a light sleeper like me. This was really annoying.
The fridge freezer has a faulty solenoid which keeps making a loud click when the thermostat cycles on and off which again causes sleep issues.
The fencing and or gate is loose in its housing and thus when there's a slight wind, there is a rattle back and forwards causing the iron mongery to rattle.
There was a lovely welcoming hamper which was amazing, the wife got me to by a caffetier because the coffee was that nice.
Overall, the property is new and has teething problems. No expense has been spared making this an amazing property. If the things above were to be fixed, I'd definitely return but as it stands I wouldn't return.
We didn't meet the hosts, which is what I prefer being a person who like to go on holiday and just enjoy time away quietly. Some hosts can be quite intrusive, but these weren't.
Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. I’m sorry the cottage was not for you but I’m glad you managed to take some positives away from your trip away. The main point that is important for me to address is the privacy of the hot tub, the hot tub is located tight into the corner & cannot be seen from any of our windows facing it.
Regarding the gate, it is made from wood, if made to fit too tightly it simply wouldn’t open & unfortunately the nature of wood means sometimes it swells & other times it contracts.
I’ve checked the fridge over & not found any issues but thank you for bringing it to our attention. The extractor is substantial as it is open plan & we don’t want the room to smell, the sofas, we’ve had many guests & not had any complaints about it & finally yes our drive goes past the window but I can assure you unless you stand & peer into the windows you just can’t see anything.
We appreciate your views & have taken these onboard.
Many thanks
Joanne & Steve
