"Nice cottage, big bedrooms comfy beds but a lack of hanging space, wants wardrobes and drawers there’s plenty of space to put them in bedrooms, nice size shower room."
The heating wants setting properly, was cold in morning, heating wants setting to come on at 7.30am for couple of hours again midday and at 6.00pm for the evening, there were times it never came on, I got up and rads were cold and on going out still cold ok turn the ring but by time it was getting radiators warm you are going out, came back one afternoon 2.00pm and radiators were red hot, only popped in to get something, wrong time to be having heating on, stove wood burner never used, ok I suppose if you are stopping in on evening. Found you could hear tv or radio through walls from next door. The carpets slip want none slip ones. The back garden or whatever you call it is none existent, covered in green moss, wouldn’t want to sit at side of dustbins on a hot day. Cottage set in a good location.
Hi,Glad you enjoyed your stay.There is a cupboard in the main bedroom with hanging space.it also has shelves to put cloths on.I will look into putting a chest of drawers in the bedroom.I will also look in to the heating it is designed to switch on and off as you please at your own temperature it switches off at around 11pm.I will get the out side area cleaned the weather this year hasn’t helped with the green staining on the concrete. Many thanks for your feedback it’s appreciated Steve Property Owner

"We had the most amazing time at the cottage."
We had everything we needed. It’s superbly situated and we were able to do so many lovely things. The High Street is such a wonderful friendly place and we managed to have breakfast at the Tea room, grab supplies from the newsagent, visit the bakery and buy antiques. We will definitely be back. My little girl loved the added Christmas decorations, made it really special for her. Thank you! Highly recommend staying at this cottage, Bridlington has so much to offer both young and old.

"We had a fantastic stay for my birthday."
We really enjoyed it and are looking at coming back next year. The cottage is in the perfect location. Only a couple of things I would mention is that it’s listed with on road parking which implies you can park outside. This is true however you can only stay an hour. There is parking in the free car park a few minutes walk away. We did get a starter pack for the fire but we were only given one log I would have expected a few more as we didn’t bring any with us on the first day. Lastly a fire glove would be useful as the stove does get partially hot to open when in use for a little while. Overall we had a fabulous stay and we would highly recommend this little cottage. We can’t wait to come back x
Glad you enjoyed your stay at Betty’s Cottage, I value your feedback & will act on your points raised. Happy you have booked your return visit & look forward to welcoming you again Property Owner

Quiet street easy to park. Will be booking again. The owner was friendly and provided me with lots of information.

"Mean with heating in a cold property even got a phone call mid holiday from ..."
Mean with heating in a cold property even got a phone call mid holiday from Sykes asking why heating was being put high spying on guests with a Google hive and ring door bell cameras made us feel uncomfortable never again
Thank you for your feedback. Many properties have a Hive/Nest heating system. The heating at the property was registering 32 degrees which is why a courtesy call was made asking to turn it down as being on this high could damage the boiler and is certainly not environmentally friendly to be this high. The heating can be on 24/7 at an ambient temperature if needed.The camera is for security only and is pointing sideways on the key box.This is purely for guests safety. Property Owner

"Great little cottage in a great location."
Top bedroom is open to the stairs so possibly not ideal for toddlers/young kids. Other than that it's spot on

"Cottage nicely presented only drawback was people coming right up to the window to look in on reading the notice on the window saying it is a holiday let very off putting especially when you are having a meal."
... other wise a comfortable cottage

"On first arriving didn't no if we could get any parking,lucky enough we was outside cottage,only park for one hour when yo see parking attendent,free parking at Stepney Grove around the corner."
Wasn't intending to cook while we was there,just breakfast maybe,had a walk local to find pub food, found one what served food at tea time. Accommodation was reasonably,brought my own pillow,but pillows provided where bit flat not comfortable,bed was good, duvet was a winter one,so was very hot to sleep in,asked for summer duvet or sheet to be cooler at night. Bathroom was to a very good standard,but found water was not flowing properly,so lifted plug hole found alot of hairs in there blocking water flow. Asked Lucy about duvet and cleaning,she was brilliant,came around same day thank you Lucy.when we settled down at night to watch abit of tv, the day after,asked neighbours either side of cottage if sound tv was to lound,couldn't get any answer,so asked hairdresser next she door she said walls are very thin can hear everything ,got to talk to one neighbour said was loud the first night,so next night he slept in different room,put voulme down to respect him sorry.I would say Betty's Cottage is upto a very good standard i would love to stop again.

"Holiday was relaxing and a nice break away from the bussel of current life."
Due to it being such an old cottage and as a man over 6ft tall I did bump my head on several occasions but this could be seen as part of the charm. I would definitely stay here again.

"The owner has done a lovely job renovating the property and drawing out its potential."
The living space is small, so seating for 5 may be difficult and it is not really that suitable for eating in. The bedrooms are quite spacious, so it is a great property to use as a base. Short-term parking can be had just opposite, and there is a free carpark just around the corner. If you do not like cooking, there are a number of take away places nearby as well, although we tended to eat out. We did walk to the beach once, with a couple of kids, and it took about 30 minutes. There are quite a few places to see, with Scarborough and York being relatively close. There is no outside space worth speaking about. This was not an issue, since we only used the accommodation. Areas where the accommodation could improve are: include 2 pillows per person, 1 seemed a little stingy; look to improve the size and quality of the towels, they were very thin and even my 9 year old daughter thought the main towel was a hand towel. Finally, consider adapting your shower to include a door. This is not essential for your guests' comfort, but you may find some less careful guests end up causing floods.

"This little cottage on the High Street was exactly as pictured and has been restored to a good standard, but keeping it's quirkiness."
It stayed quite cool even in the current high temperatures. I did find that the TV being high on the wall made it difficult to watch. The kitchen is small but well equipped with everything you need. As previously mentioned the outdoor area was disappointing and an eyesore, cigarette ends everywhere, the property particulars does say no smoking in or around the cottage. You would also have to sit among the bins and the neighbours washing strung across the alley. Maybe a small screen across and a few potted plants would make this area more appealing. The bedrooms were quite large and the beds very comfortable, not sure about the brushed cotton bedding in the summer though, there is also a lack of coat hangers, there was only one in the wardrobe. There is also an iron and ironing board in the wardrobe which isn't mentioned in Sykes description, also it says there is a sofa bed which there isn't. The bathroom is modern, with a large open shower area. Note to owner, the shower tray needs sealing at floor level. All in all we enjoyed our stay in Betty's Cottage, and the old town, we would definitely stay again. I would also like to mention Lucy, the cleaner, for doing a good job.

"The cottage is exactly as it appears in the photos."
The owner has given a lot of care and attention when updating the building and it looks amazing! We loved how small, cosy and quirky it is. The cottage is positioned in the centre of the High Street so you are surrounded by shops, pubs and restaurants which is great. The downside to being on the High Street is that you cannot park outside of the property between 8am and 6pm. We found a space on an adjoining street easily but for some people this may be an issue. The property is said to have a garden but we found this to be an alley way which was shared with a neighbour. There is a table and chairs in the alley way but you would be sitting in amongst some ladders, stacks of roof tiles and the bins for the property if you were to use it. There were a lot of cigarette butts on the floor so this appears to be a handy smoking area for those who indulge but I wouldn't suggest it to be a useable space for anything else. We had our 7 month old son with us and the owner supplied a cot which was brilliant and saved us from taking our own. However, while the property itself is child friendly the neighbours clearly aren't! On our penultimate morning our son was crying for a bottle, a situation which we always resolve in less than 5 minutes. The neighbour felt the need to bang on the wall during this short period of noise adding to the stress of trying to feed a crying baby. After this incident we attempted to not be in the property as much as possible as we did not want to offend the neighbour. This slightly spoiled the end of our stay as we were on edge if the baby made any noise. Overall we did enjoy our time at the property and it looks fantastic and is in a nice location
