"Plentiful supply of towels/T-Towels and kitchen items (ie dishwasher tablets/clingfilm )Comfortable beds and good sized bathroom."
There is a lack of storage space in the kitchen to store food items aside from the boiler cupboard which is too warm to store items safely. Also a lack of oven proof dishes/serving dishes etc should you wish to prepare meals (there is no pub or restaurant in the village).
The garden is small but secure and divided into distinct sections with chairs and tables-ideal for warmer months.
The garage is an added bonus given that there are no proper parking facilities. If you have more than one car be prepared to have to bump it up onto a fairly steep bank. Given that it was October and therefore not so many vehicles there was room on opposite bank for second car.
Despite house being close to the Park and Ride and the Stables Restaurant (approx 1.5 miles) the lack of a footpath or public transport from village means that walking is a little dangerous on a single track road to get to the Park and Ride so it is safer to drive !
There is a decent walk to Sandsend from the village which is up and down through woods and fields with some pleasant views .Be prepared to take a decent footpath map/App as there is a lack of signage along the route.
We would consider staying again at Sea Change during spring/autumn months when it is quieter given the issue of parking .
Thanks for your detailed and positive feedback. We have rearranged the kitchen cupboards so there is now ample room for food storage. In addition we have added an additional number of Pyrex dishes for cooking and serving. Thanks.

"Lovely location."
I run my own cleaning business and I thought it was only surface clean the top of the fridge was dirty. I also didn't think it was good having the pots in the boiler cupboard as they smelt and tasted funny. Good do with a new frying pan as handle wasn't safe .But we had a great time and slept well and would go back. Thank you.
Thank you for the detailed feedback it's much appreciated. we've amended our cleaning routine to include the fridge top. All the crockery has been thoroughly cleaned and relocated. The frying pan has been replaced. We welcome feedback as it flags up any issues which we can deal with to improve your holiday experience.

"Very nice house that was well supplied in kitchen & upstairs lots of good towels."
We were relieved to find the garage belonged to the house given the cramped parking on the lane. The only house improvement we would suggest is a stair gate to stop guest dogs going upstairs,our dog is not allowed in our bedroom at home & we had to close other bedroom doors to keep her out
Thank you for your feedback. As non dog owners we welcome and rely on comments from guests to advise on what is required. From this week we will be providing dog gates for both of our Sykes Cottages properties. Thanks!.

"Lovely house in quiet location which was perfect for our week away."
Kitchen was fully equipped, house was warm and comfortable. Garden was fully enclosed for our dog so didn't have to worry about letting him outside. Thank you to the owners who came round with battery powered lights after we contacted them when the village suffered a power cut which ended up lasting nearly 6 hours. Weather was lovely and we had some great walks from the house and surrounding areas. Overall a great week away

"Highly recommended."
Quiet location. Very convenient for Sandsend, Whitby and access to the moors. The park-and-ride is a 1 minute drive away from the cottage and was still operating in October; it was an inexpensive way to get into Whitby and saved parking stress. Lovely walks in the area. The house is spacious, comfortable and well equipped with lovely garden areas. The garage was really useful too. Communication with the hosts was easy and there are good instructions in the house for all the appliances. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

Just a short hop to the beach, nice and quiet. A handy walk just down the road for our dog. The neighbour did get our dog barking as he was in the front garden a lot, but we tried to keep her as quiet as possible. Handy for Whitby and the bays. Would highly recommend we had a great stay.

"Great house in an amazing location."
We had everything we needed and our dog loved the enclosed garden. We were only about 15/20 minutes drive away from all the places we wanted to visit, including Staithes, Robin Hoods Bay and Whitby. The beach at Sandsend is only a 15 minute walk and you can take dogs. We definitely recommend eating at The Heart Inn, Sandsend, the food is amazing and the staff there are very welcoming

"Very comfortable stay in a small village."
The cottage was spotlessly clean with great countryside views to the front and rear. It is a very light and airy house. Quiet area; slept soundly. Very well equipped. Nice touches like hand-made curtains/cushions. Dog-friendly garden filled with attractive foliage.
Great to come back and relax in front of log burner after exploring local areas.
Would definitely rebook.

"Most windows blown so view compromised."
No blind in kitchen window making it unbearable when in their cooking evening meal as sun blazes in. Only 7 pegs for a family of 6. The rug in lounge is a trip hazard as so thin and has no sticky backing for laminate flooring. The vacuum cleaner was absolutely full of other people’s dirt and dust (not nice). Inside cupboards dirty. One saucepan needs replacing.
We welcome feedback and any way we can improve the holiday experience for our guests. I sincerely hope this did not spoil your stay. While we cant immediately act on the comments with regards to the windows we certainly will keep this in mind for future planned developments. We will certainly address the other areas as soon as possible by adjusting our cleaning and checking regime. Thank you.

"Firstly the website states that the nearest pub is o."
01miles away .
after trying to go we found out that the pub had closed down in March this year & it was going to be a B&B .
we then found out the nearest pub was2.5miles away with no public transport from the village i had to 1 get a taxi both ways or 2 take the car,
What else is strange is that 2 this date Sykes still have this pub on its page.
Apart from that the cottage was really nice .
Thank you for your feedback. The pub has been opened on and off periodically . We have found it is closed completely, the description has now been amended. There is a park and ride just 1.5 miles from the property. We are glad you enjoyed the cottage.
