Harbour Cottage

Had an amazing week at harbour cottage.

Perfect location just a minute walk from beach and town centre. Surrounded by cafes and restaurants. Owners were there to solve a problem we had as soon as we contacted them . Such a perfect little cottage which we plan to return to . Couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Thanks for everything we needed for our wonderful week in harbour cottage. Lottie & Lloyd.

We’ve stayed at this lovely property in Bridlington several times now, and it never disappoints.

This time, we brought friends along for their first visit and they absolutely loved it too! The house is well-equipped and feels like a home away from home. The location is great as it is close enough to enjoy all that Bridlington has to offer. It was great to share the experience with friends and see them enjoy it just as much as we always do. Safe to say they’re already talking about a return visit!

Just had another lovely few days at Harbour Cottage with friends.

It is in an ideal position close to the Harbour and town centre. The property is very clean and well maintained and we all agreed the beds were very comfortable. The welcome basket is a lovely touch & the log burner created a very cosy atmosphere. Will hopefully be back again soon.

Not really a cottage terraced house on a back street that smelled of weed a few times.

The house is generally clean it could do with the windows cleaned and the stain in the bath removed. Lampshades and curtain pole need attention.There was ample room and the kitchen is beautiful and well equipped with everything you need. The garden is a real bonus especially with having somewhere to hang washing.The house is a short distance from the beach which is great.There was a terrible smell permeating through the house. Spoke to the owner on Sunday who assured us the drains had been checked but he never came out to check so put up with it for the week. Was glad to leave a day early so we didn't have to smell it anymore.

The holiday was abysmal.

We are both in our 80s my wife is severely disabled. We arrived late afternoon Friday, unpacked and thought we'd settle in. TV & internet not working, I read the manual . No joy. So went out in the car went for a meal,came back, early to bed. Tried the TV etc, Saturday morning. Still not working Mad a few calls to Sykes , no person to speak to each gave me options to look on line > No internet i texted a message no response, I phoned again eventually clicking a number to discuss buying /selling a property. Succsess a person answered I explained our problem, She said wrong department wait I'll find someone I waited at least 30 mins, no response went to a public library to find a sykes contact n umber where I could speak to someone once again no number other than the ones I had by this time I'm feeling emasculated there is nothing I could do . Sunday I find a phone shop to confirm that my text had been sent yes it had no idea if anyone saw it it is like dealing with mindless robots. Monday ready for home. I try again the number to discuss buying/selling speak to someone who promises to sort something out .About 5 pm the owner rings me and arranges for her husband to visit, he arrives about 7 pm & evevtually gets the TV & internet working. Had there been a number in the cottage in case of any problems, water leaks something not working the holiday would have been excellent. Apart from the trouble & stress and because I hardly use my mobile I am on pay & go usually £5 a month. My useless calls to you cost me £31 I had to put 2 £20, on my phone. Your system of having everything on line is ok when every thing is working but the system needs sorting out . I believe s should reemburse me at least the cost of the phone calls,I'm not bothered wether youpublish my feed back or not.

Such a great cottage, booked last minute so always good to have something so nice.

Great welcome basket with Easter goodies and clean fresh modern facilities. Perfect for parents and three teenagers! The only improvement would be to replace the very lumpy uncomfortable mattress in the master bedroom which was the only thing that let the comfort level down, and would prevent a return stay unless it was replaced. Otherwise a great stay in a lovely home from home, and so convenient for Bridlington and surrounding areas.

This was our second stay at the cottage.

We enjoyed it just as much as the first. It has a fantastic location, right in the centre and near the beach. Clean accommodation, with all the amenities you could need. Lovely touch with the welcome hamper. We will definitely be back again!

The worst Sykes cottage ever stayed in Arrived on the Saturday afternoon a day late due to the big storm first impression not to bad then it unraveled all the faults were photographed and sent to Sykes with a formal complaint we left on the Tuesday asking Sykes to let owner know the faults first Dirty unwashed crockery in cupboard large pile of dust and flaking paint on windowsill curtain tie backs hanging by one screw nearly out of wall .

Then the horror of upstairs the unclean bathroom lumps of poo in toilet brush a piece of frayed string 2 Inches long to pull shower on black mould everywhere around bath a very poor hot water supply with boiler sending no hot water .Then the double bedroom my wife sat on bed to get in and went straight to the floor lifted mattress found broken slats and missing parts and a large bag of bedding shoved under bed which had pushed slats away .We left on Tuesday and. put key back in safe with no problem .Friday at 08.35 my phone rings a lady asks who I was I asked why and she replied I am the owner of Harbour Cottage my housekeeper cannot get had I altered the keypad to which I told her I had not and had left property on Tuesday asking Sykes to inform her .l then told her about the problems and offered to send the photos which was declined two weeks on still no apology lazy housekeeper blamed this problem was not helped by the fact there was no direct contact with owner or housekeeper Sykes need to re inspect this property John

The location of the cottage was great, the yard outside was big enough.

The outhouse with washing machine as great idea. There was a welcome hamper with red wine crisps mini cakes an uncut loaf and Jam. Nice idea, Though teabags and milk would have been a great replacement for wine and cakes. Everyone wants a cuppah first thing. We did struggle with the stairs though as the top was a tiny landing with a steep step down into bathroom. My sister and I in our seventies feel this bungalow is not as suitable for disabilities. Great for families maybe. You can see a lot of effort has been made to restore this old cottage which is a plus.. However my sister has to sleep with a television on low all night, since being burgled. One of the main reasons for booking this cottage. Unfortunately there was no remote for the TV in her bedroom. We looked everywhere. So it could not be used. Also the blinds in the lounge need attention. It looks like a dog or a child has left the slats of the venetian blinds in a terrible state. Not a good look from the inside or outside. We love Bridlington so we will ensure our next break will be a bungalow or apartment on ground floor.

We had a great fortnight at Harbour Cottage.

The place was a great base for our family holiday and the town centre location was just what we wanted. It’s only a few minutes’ walk from the town centre, the beach and the harbour so no need to get the car out all the time. We thought the property was good value and pretty much met our expectations. The only negative of any note is the smell of the property when we opened the door. I couldn’t work out whether this was damp or wet dog, or possibly from cigarette smoke. It largely cleared with the windows open for a few days but didn’t make a great welcome. Otherwise, the property was really clean and tidy. It is fairly well equipped, particularly for smaller children who would love the games room. My kids loved the table football but mainly the Netflix! The only important thing missing for us was a hair dryer. We’ve used Sykes plenty of times before and would have expected this to be provided at a property with this star rating. My wife had to go and buy one. Also, the kitchen would benefit from a veg peeler, a potato masher and a grater. We routinely ran out of drinking glasses and a few extra would be good too. All that said, this is a decent, good value property in a really good location, with off-street parking. We had a lovely holiday here.

Loved it and will be back asap THANK YOU!
