• "The log burner doors are loose , when lighting the fire smoke came out so we had to put the fire out."

  when told the owner, he did not seem bothered about it. no safety certificate was to be seen. the bathroom needs some tlc loose panels on shower base . we had to cut our stay short because of rain water coming through the bedroom ceiling soaking clothes underneath . also rainwater was coming through the safety light . we were only given £70 as compensation for cutting our trip short and having soaking wet clothes with no ware to dry them . We were offered to move to another property on site but would have to wait two hours or so for it to be cleaned which would take up half a day in total after reporting the problems .

  Hi Steve. Thanks for your feedback. We deeply apologise about the leaking roof, this was due to the extremely heavy rainfall & winds the whole of Scarborough & Whitby area received. ( local roads and other businesses suffered too ) The rain unfortunately found its way in. These were only a few drips from what you showed us. As soon as you left we contacted our builders and have since had the roof fully stripped, re felted and reroofed under great expense to ourselves. The log burner's plated certificate is behind the log burner, when you showed us the door, we then showed you that you had not quite closed it properly ( was also a night of very high winds ) - we have also resealed this as an extra precaution. We asked you what compensation you would like and you said £70 so we gave this in cash straight away. We have also given you an extra £75 you requested through Sykes for any inconvenience. We offered you another cottage for your last day & night - we said this would take 1 hour max to sort this for you when you rang at 8.50am. Your response was you did not want to unpack as you were already packed and ready to leave. We would have also gladly helped to dry any wet clothes for yourselves. We do take all feedback on board and we are proactive owners. We do try our hardest to resolve any problems that may occur throughout our guests stay. Thanks Ben & Wendy. Property Owner

• "Bedroom would be ideal if you have two single beds."

  The narrow walk between the bed and the wall is unsubscribe even able bodied people, the rest of cottage was well equipped and very clean.

  Convinient for places around. The one problem I had is I a disabled, I struggle to walk with ease, and the steps in the house were a problem for me. Also squeesing around the bed was hard for me.

• "A pleasant stay."

  Loved the log burner, which I had going on two of the colder nights. Lots of hot water, which was great. I found the lounge diner small, but it was OK as I was on my own. I found the dining chairs and table very hard and uncomfortable - wall shelves mean chairs cannot be used where they tuck under the table.

• "A cleverly designed cottage making the most of the limited space available."

  Spotlessly clean and very well thought out. The bed was comfortable with lovely bedding. The shower was very small and the water temperature erratic but not a show stopper. Wifi is also erratic. The lounge area is very dark with no window but cosy. It is in a great location with parking right outside. A table and chairs outside the door and a private garden give some outside space. The Cinder track is a few yards away so easy access for walks.

  Loved the property and location Downside Wi-Fi not strong A wasp nest had been treated but dying wasps and some wasps were about When we arrived dead wasps were on the window sill and on the floor and kept appearing in the property on a daily basis Was very disappointed and affected the stay as couldn’t totally relax If you or the owner was aware of this being treated I think we should be made aware Would appreciate some kind of reply with the reason for not being informed or some kind of compensation

• "This is a perfectly placed location for walking the cinder track and the Cleveland Way (a bit too strenuous for us at our current fitness levels), and for exploring Whitby, Scarborough and the beautiful North Yorks coast."

  The cottage is well stocked and our only quibble was the settee, which wasn't particularly comfortable. At the end of the day a drink on the bench in the little dedicated garden area is a memory to cherish. Hosts welcoming but not intrusive.

  Just right for 2 ! Wi-Fi not perfect but acceptable for a week. Will be returning hopefully, and highly recommend. The area is beautiful and you can walk for miles, lots of lovely pubs and cafes. Excellent !!

  Private garden with seat overlooking the beautiful surrounding countryside. We had a slight problem with the WiFi connectivity initially, but Ben sorted it out immediately on a Saturday afternoon and it was perfect from then on.

• "We enjoyed our stay at Week's very much."

  I chose this cottage because it is next to the Cinder track as I wanted to cycle it from Scarborough to Whitby. It is perfectly placed for that purpose and to also enjoy the peace and quiet. I would definitely recommend this place.

• "Welcoming hosts, helpful but not at all overbearing."

  Property will benefit with the outdoor space the owners are in the process of completing at present. This Property is ideally situated to explore the Yorkshire coast, either by car or if you're up to it? By foot as the coastal walk is easily accessible from here. We look forward to returning

• "Only outside area to sit was the car park."

  the freezer part of the fridge was so iced up unable to close door on freezer box so therefore useless. no where to dry hair with mirror in bedroom. no where to hang coats fortunately it was dry.

  Many thanks for your feedback. It is a shame that you did not contact us during your stay as our phone number is in the property for any guest to call if they have an issue during their stay. As we live next door, we could have resolved the issue that you had with the freezer straight away. You will see from the photos and description there is no garden advertised, however we are currently creating one which will be added shortly. It is a compact property but there is a large mirror in the hall with a socket next to it to dry your hair and there are coat hangers on the back of the door. Thank you again for your feedback.

  No views from inside the cottage, but it is very well located for a beautiful section of the coast path and the Scarborough to Whitby cycle path runs just past the end of the farm, so plan to spend your time outside!
