  This was our second stay and we will definitely stay again.

• "We found the property to be clean and warm but in need of an update."

  The 13amp single socket on the landing was loose and needed repair before it could be safely used. As a retired electronics engineer turned latterly to a health and safety inspector I was disappointed to find an electrical outlet in that state. I couldn’t see the point of having a bath with a shower over the bath when the bath taps only fed the shower and wouldn’t fill the bath, why have a bath you couldn’t use unless you wanted to spent an age filling it with the shower. We particularly pick sites with secure outdoor space so we can relax outside with a coffee, my wife has a disability that impacts her walking so we usually stay at the property’s every other day and sit out talking ect. The outdoor space was disgusting. The grass was 13/14cm long and when I checked it I found several places where dogs had been to the toilet. I picked some up but gave up in disgust, if you want pictures I can send you some. The table and two chairs had an ashtray full of water and cigarette ash and stubbed out cigarettes. The neighbours next door even offered the use of their garden for our use because of the state of our space. As a plus point the parking was easily accessed and had ample room for two cars if needed. Overall my view was, although the house was warm and the sleeping arrangements warm and comfortable we would not pick the house again. I will add, but I’m not surprised, this is the first Sykes cottage we have stayed in that had no comments book for customer feed back.

• "We had a lovely stay again."

  But we noticed a few things from last time. There were spiders and cobwebs in the bedroom & cobwebs up high in the bathroom & lounge. The bath taps are loose when you have a shower. The information about bin days needs updating, and we brought DVDs but couldn't use them because the DVD player can't be connected to the television. But overall we had a pleasant stay.

  I will address all your concerns. Thank you for your feedback and I really do hope it didn’t impact your stay too much. Please call me directly in advance if you would like to visit again so that I can make your next visit extra special. Property Owner

• "Fantastic location the most comfortable bed we have had away."

  Perfect for us 2 and our little dog only slight criticism is lawn had not been cut for a while and bushes and hedge out the front could do with a good cut back as made living room very dark.

  Thank you for your feedback. We have tackled the bushes which are beautiful in flower but had got a bit big I agree. The lawn is cut at each changeover unless it is wet which unfortunately may have been the case prior to your visit. Glad you liked the bed Property Owner

• "I have already spoken to owner about the situation at the cottage about the problem with noise from the neighbours ."

  we had a terrible week as the shouting and arguing went on continually all day and night a horrible week, but both the owner of our property knew about the situation and the owner of the rented house next door and the lack of cleanliness all around the cottage a point that a deep clean had been brought to her attention in January by another guest and still by April the situation had not been addressed. Not acceptable at all.

  Thank you for your feedback and your previous regular visits to the property. I am sad that you felt it necessary to post this review as I have done everything possible to address your concerns and make reparations. The noise issue was intermittent and has been addressed - the individual concerned has left the area. My cleaners take pride in their work and I think they do a fab job. Property Owner

  Had everything we needed ( except lighter for gas hob ,but managed with microwave until we got one ).Comfy bed and hot powerful shower. I would say maybe could do with a deep clean ( cutlery drawer) and radiators a bit dusty. Cushions on sofas could do with replacing as flat making it difficult to get comfy. Overall as expected for rating and had an enjoyable weekend.

  Both myself and my partner were extremely impressed with how clean and comfortable it was. The enclosed garden was great for our dog and the location of the cottage was super - just a short walk from the beach and other attractions. The little touches in this cottage really made us smile on arrival. A jar of dog biscuits and a selection of tea/coffee/ and biscuits for us made for a warm welcome. The towel rail did come off in the bathroom during our stay but it didn't affect us. Absolutely no complaints whatsoever about our stay. We can't wait to stay here again.

• "If the property had been accurately described, we most probably not have booked it."

  It was one of 3 properties in a single small building. The space for off road parking, if that is what it was, was somewhat taken over by vegetation, though there was a reserved parking space. The garden area is not attached to the property which is what we thought from the description. More guidance on using some of the appliances would have been helpful.

  Thank you for your feedback. There are 2 parking spaces available for the property. I suspect you were thinking that the space in front of the house which is slated and has vegetation was for a car? The back garden is adjacent to the property and this is clear in the property write up with Sykes - I am sorry this was a surprise to you. I take on board your point about instructions for the appliances. I will look at making these available. I am always on the end of the phone to help if needed. Property Owner

  It is a very clean,comfortable and cosy house in a great location ten minutes from the beach with three pubs within ten minutes walk also.

The only slight negative thing is the uncomfortable settees which seems to be a recurring theme in most reviews, these have been at the property for as long as we have been going and are very tired so could do with being replaced.

• "Sofas diabilcally unsafe."

  DEFINATELY A HAZARD bum nearly on the floor. Bathroom not been cleaned upon arrival. Garden no lighting. Solar lighting would be good. No way for dogs to see. . Not next to property. Expected to clea whole house before leaving. Vacum made house smell. Upon arrival strong smell of dog urine. Spent money on joss sticks to stem the smell. Possibly wood floor or lino would help with smell. Soft furnishing need cleaning. Awful smelly....maybe owner to spot check cleaners occasionally. We spend extra to have houses cleaned,yes we clean as we do at home,but think it's a check to do thorough deep clean upon leaving as we didn't find this on arrival. 2nd time we booked expected sofas to been replaced. . Plants front garden should be trimmed so front windows can be opened too give fresh air. Some little snag lists to be repaired plugs small fingers can get in. Taps loose etc. Possibly owners to stay clear for weekend to see how it is for clients.

  Thank you for your feedback on Quarterdeck. I have taken your comments on board and will be making some improvements: - There will be a deep clean of all soft furnishings. - One of the sofas will be replaced. - Vacumn cleaner filters have been replaced. - There are no plants obstructing the opening of the windows - the hydrangea have been in full bloom at the front of the house and will be dead-headed now that they have finished flowering. - Snag list will be created and addressed.

  They both sag tremendously in the middle so much so you need a hand of get yourself up from them. Also the bed is a zip linked and is far too soft you roll into the middle. Sadly I won’t be visiting this accommodation a third time. After my first experience I thought perhaps the owner would change the furniture but alas she hasn’t. So no more for me, pity as I do love to visit Scarborough every year sometimes twice. But not in this accommodation.
