• "I had an enjoyable stay at Driftwood, clean and well equipped."

  The double bed upstairs very comfy and I slept really well. The TV ok but very small for the lounge and difficult to view the writing on screen unless a couple of feet away. The back seating area and windows need some TLC but didn't mind too much as it was too cold and wet to sit out in being October. The timer on the boiler doesn't work so had to put heating on when needed manually on and off. But all these things are general maintenance issues, the property itself is delightful. Thanks.

• "Just returned from a really relaxing week in Driftwood, the property is a real home from home, so comfortable with everything you could want for your break away, the beech is one end of the road & all the shops & eateries just a short walk down the road in the other direction, even the weather was on our side but it wouldn’t have made a difference if it wasn’t as we had everything we needed for an excellent week away."

  even the dog loved it. Would recommend in a heartbeat & hope to return here in the near future, Thank You for our wonderful break away. Tra David & Bonnie the dog

• "We thoroughly enjoyed Withernsea although the town is run down its functioning."

  No boarded up shops , no litter in the town and no litter on the wonderful stretch of beach. Best of all clean public toilets both in the town and on the seafront. The bungalow although the decor was dated, was comfortable and in a great position with the beach at the end of the road. It has a secluded backyard, a sun trap in the afternoon and would benefit from a table for al fresco meals. I wish I’d known I needed my Netflix password for that one wet day, however we went to the lighthouse museum instead of staying in, it’s worth a visit.

  Driftwood is clean and comfortable, it’s near the sea and the garden was very secure for our two dogs. We enjoyed it so much we are returning next year.

• "Facilities in general good, clean, a little dated but functional."

  Changed light in bathroom as bulb had gone when arrived. Slight issue of door handle in upstairs bedroom felt like would come loose and handle of drawer in kitchen came off. Fixed drawer handle. Tried to clean mid week but couldn’t find a mop. Hoover made the room smell strongly of dog. Outside space safe for dogs on side & back. The back could do with a bit of care, otherwise comfortable break. Good position, beds comfortable and all you need in the home for a family holiday.

• "Amazing location, we had a great time."

  A few suggestions the downstairs bedroom does not have a wardrobe, a few coat hooks does not suffice, the single chair in the living room is tiny and does not work, i didnt notice in the description anything about steps to the front or more steps to the garden, TV is a bit small for the size of the living room, if you could change these things it would be really helpful as we have stayed at loads of places and this is still by far one of the best.

  The only downside was the outside area.Although it was very private and completley safe for our dog it was very poorly maintained. We had to remove weeds on overgrown patio before we could sit comfortably outside.Needs TLC.

  It needs a little tlc , the garden had weeds up to our knees so we couldn't use it much, the hot water was a little hit and miss, but we found the bed downstairs to be fine despite previous reports and we had a good time, despite the awful weather

  The property is in need of updating in some areas but it was comfortable. The location is great - just a couple of minutes walk to the seafront and beach. Overall good value for the price we paid.

• "This house is one of the nicest we have stayed in."

  Everything you need especially if you have dogs ,3 minutes to the sea, enclosed and private back garden,quite spacious with everything you need in the house. Toilet upstairs , bathroom downstairs , Lots of thought for dog owners. The only niggle was the double bed downstairs was so uncomfortable even though it was lovely for us as pensioners to have everything downstairs., but had to use an upstairs bed , and they were all very comfortable.We highly recommend Driftwood.

  Very clean, well equipped, and all the facilities you could wish for. The only thing I would mention is that maybe a mattress topper on the double bed downstairs would make it more comfortable. But all in all I would recommend it and hopefully will be back again.

  Very convenient location to the beach and short walk to the town centre. Very cosy accommodation with only a few minor faults which are so small you would have to be picky to name them. Would definitely look at returning in the future as the location is ideal and dog friendly.

• "I am sorry to say we were very disappointed with the property and decided to leave before the end of the week."

  We have stayed at many Sykes properties and have always been impressed with the quality unfortunately this was not the case with Driftwood. On arrival it took over 15 minutes to gain entry to the property. There were 3 keys with no labels that would fit the lock to the entrance porch but none of them would turn in the lock. After much jiggling around we eventually gained entry to be greeted with a very strong smell of mould. The whole place seemed to be uncared for. We took some photos as examples but there is nowhere to upload them. Some examples would be: Shelf over radiator in downstairs bedroom missing but brackets still sticking out of wall. One bedside lamp not working in upstairs double bedroom, it would occasionally flash so we unplugged it. Hole in vanity unit in upstairs toilet where presumable a sink used to be? Bedroom light switch not in bedroom. Lights on stairs not working Laundry basket cracked with hole in it. Button lying on chair. Mould in the shower. Wire sticking out of wall in twin bed bedroom.

• "Wasn't going to say anything but read other reviews and have to agree."

  It's not all bad, the cottage was a good size and it's ideally located. However, this cottage needs a bit of TLC. It had lots of quirky faults that we were quite surprised by. We got a message before we left that the porch was leaking ( fair enough) we arrived to a really strong smell of bleach ( better than mould I guess) and the outside door lock was a pain as the other review noted. Also we found That the kitchen stove extractor vented into the kitchen above it & the back garden was really overgrown and patio was uneven and loose. It didn't ruin our break by any means but it could do with a bit of maintenance.

  The place its self is clean and has everything you would need , home from home the garden is secure so a safe place if you have dogs .

  Very dog friendly with bowls, treats & even a dog first aid kit for them! We have chihuahuas & always concerned about how secure the enclosed gardens are in properties, however this property is completely secure. The property is spacious with a very large comfy sofa & also comfy beds. All in all a very well equipped place to stay. The proximity to the beach is fab being a 3 minute walk. Our chihuahuas can be very wary of other dogs but the quietness of Withernsea beach was perfect for them. We would recommend this dog friendly property & will definitely return again in the future.

  The back garden was completely enclosed and dog friendly. The kitchen was well equipped the beds were comfortable and the wifi, TV, etc. was all good. The beach was literally at the end of the road (3 minutes walk) and a large Tesco was just around the corner (5 minutes walk).

  Kitchen floor was not properly swept upon arrival. Food remnants against base of kitchen units. Matted accumulation of dog hairs on lounge carpet which bunched up when sitting down at settee corner unit. The odd Cobwebs and dead spiders hanging in lounge, kitchen and master bedroom.

• "Property was clean and equiped well enough for our needs."

  Living room had good sized seating and dining area, tv had netflix which was a bonus. Kitchen was a good size. Downstairs bathroom was also a good size, bonus of an upsatirs toilet and small sink. Great storage areas and extra towels were great. Decent sized bedrooms, beds all made up, 2 doubles and one with twin beds, only down point was my husband and i chose to sleep in the single beds to let the children take opportunity for double beds and the matresses for these two beds were very firm so neither of us had a decent sleep all week. Property was, as mentioned a stone throw from the beach which being the bottom end would explain its quietness. The town centre itself (a 10-15min walk) was only small but had shops you would usually look for...takeaways, supermarkets (Tesco being round the corner), bit of everything shop but not much else. Amuzement was dog friendly and had a bit of everything but not very big. If you want to take a drive there are other places to visit Beverley deffo worth a visit! All in had a nice dog friendly break.

  The house was as described and the location was fantastic. We loved that the beach was a few minutes' walk away - and what a beach!! Our puppy was safe in the enclosed garden at the back of the house and both gardens caught the sun at different times of the day.

  The location is lovely & it was like a home from home even down to the dog friendly feel to it . P.S.The only thing that could have impacted our comfort if it had been much colder was the ‘cold’ radiator in the shower room - if it had been a problem we’d have contacted the owner . It needs sorting for the winter , the radiator thermostat can’t work as the bleed valve is stuck solid ! We did try to fix it but couldn't. There was plenty of everything we may have needed . Lovely place to stay .
