• "Cottage was as described with good off road parking and very safe for dog in garden as it was enclosed, it was nice and warm in all rooms and well equipped in the kitchen."

  Could I suggest fitting hand rail on stairs as the current one you cannot grab hold of so I struggled on steep stairs as I am 80 years old

  It's good to know that you were warm and comfortable during your stay, and that the dog was safe within the garden, with regards to fitting a different handrail on the staircase, unfortunately this would make the stairs far too narrow for the majority of guests to navigate. As the cottage is very old then the staircase is narrow and steep, which I cannot change. Property Owner

  Plenty of parking space. Perhaps a reminder above doorway to bathroom might be a good idea as my husband hit his head a number of times before he remembered to duck. Surrounding area good for sight seeing and all close at hand

• "The cottage is in a lovely location, very quiet."

  Walkable to a pub or 10 minute drive to the beach and sea which was beautiful and well worth a drive. Lena cottage is just enough for the 3 of us. Kitchen facilities were enough and well equipped and clean. Bathroom was big and shower was ok Bed wasn’t to my liking but personal preference. The negative to my review was the fact that when we walked in it smelt of dog and wee which was not a great welcome. Me and my husband are tall and had to duck and did hit our head a few times as the roof is low and door frames.

• "Great little cottage."

  Basic facilities but all we needed. Downside was the bedrooms. The smaller room has a very low ceiling to the outside wall and the double bed mattress was very soft (my opinion). We switched to the single beds after the first night but again the mattresses weren’t great. Also, although stated in the listing that doorways were low, the front bedroom doorway was extremely low (lower than 5ft) and regardless of the fact we knew this, inevitably heads were hit!!! Lovely garden and great for our young dog as the furry friends are well catered for.

  Thank you for your feedback, and i hope that you enjoyed your stay overall. I'm sadden to hear that the mattresses were not up to your expectations as they are all new ones purchased at the beginning of the year! As Lena Cottage is over 200 years old , unfortunately I am unable to alter the height of the doorways or the steepness of the stair case and they are in keeping with the character of the building overall. Good to know that the garden and dog facilities were a hit though. I hope to welcome you back again sometime . Jo Property Owner

  But that was the only small negative, the owners were extra friendly and helpful, the cottage is gorgeous and felt homely immediately. Our dog loved the toy shelf amd the nice spacious garden. The village is stunning, we had a lovely walk up to the po d and had the best and biggest burger I have ever seen Matthew local dog friendly pub. It was a great base for us to go all over, we did scarbourough, filey, bridlington a d the smaller towns in between. Scarbourough fair museum was well worth a visit Especially with kids as the old rides a d arcade machines gave us hours of fun. Thankyou so much for letting us have ur little peice of heaven for a week, we will deffo be back!!!!

  I'm so pleased to hear that you found Lena Cottage comfortable and that you enjoyed your stay and the surrounding areas.

• "Lena cottage was a lovely quaint place to stay."

  Exceptionally clean, every utensil in the kitchen you needed to cook a proper meal. Beds were comfortable, sofas were great to curl up on after a day of walking. The little extras, althou we didn’t need them as we took everything, are a great idea,Food and water bowl, toys, blankets and poo bags. So thoughtful of the owner to include these for our dog. Other extras washing up liquid, sponges, tea towels, enough cutlery for 6 if needed. And the little homely touches of pictures, ornaments, and extra throws were lovely. The garden area was great for buddy our German shepherd and he soon made it home from home. Yes the ceilings in the bedrooms are low but that adds to the character. The stairs are steep but there’s only 9 of them and within a day you are used to them. And both these things are noted in the cottage description. We loved everything about Lena cottage, the owner has excelled herself in making this a great home from home

  A huge thank you for this wonderful review, it makes the job worth while when Lena Cottage receives praise such as this.

• "We loved our week at Lena Cottage."

  The listing warns that 'the property has low doorways and steep stairs'. Yes it does (I have the bruises to prove the first one!), but all things considered they were not even the slightest inconvenience. The off-street parking and rear porch/utility room were a boon - we could dump stuff there from straight from the car to avoid losing all the heat from the cottage itself. The 'larder fridge' was a bit of a disappointment. A fridge with at least a freezer compartment would have been useful, but we coped. The instructions on the wall next to the central heating controller were vague - they were the controller manufacturer's own and their own website was no better - but we worked it out in the end. Contradicting previous reviews, we found the sofas quite comfortable, and the beds likewise. Would we stay at Lena Cottage again? Absolutely, no hesitation at all. We have recommended it to friends and family. I just hope they don't choose a week when we want to stay again ourselves!

  Thank you for your feedback, its always good to hear that guests have enjoyed their stay at Lena Cottage, even though you gained a bruise or two! Thank you for your comment regarding a freezer , I will look into fitting a fridge with a freezer compartment this year if possible. With regards to the heating , i think that it must have been inadvertently switched to 'auto mode'. It is normally left on 'manual mode' whereby you just turn the dial to reach the desired temperature then the heating keeps the cottage at the temperature chosen. I agree that if it had been on 'auto mode' then the settings/ temperatures can be tricky to set. I will have to ensure that it is left on manual mode for future guests. Its also good to hear that you found the furnishings comfortable and it would be lovely to welcome you and your friends back again one day. Property Owner

• "It was a lovely cottage in a lovely village."

  Very traditional and great parking/garden area which was enclosed for dogs. Very dog friendly. It was all very clean. There was no freezer though which we knew before but it would be very useful as it's hard to keep everything in a fridge. There is room to put one in the entrance where the washer/dryer is. More knife and forks are needed as sometimes need more when cooking. There were only 4 of each. The sofas were not very comfortable at all but maybe that could be a personal preference. Overall though, a nice property and just needs a few adaptations to make it perfect.

  Thank you for your feedback, we were saddened to read that you found the sofas uncomfortable, as they are leather sofas which we have intentionally placed in the cottage for ease of cleaning / disinfecting since the pandemic. We agree that most probably cloth sofas will be more 'squishy' to sit on but they also hold the germs in the material, so we are trying to do the best thing for all our guests. We will look into maybe placing a freezer where you suggested although this will then take up the dog friendly area, which would have to be moved else where. We can also quite easily place more cutlery in the kitchen. Thank you again for your feedback, we are pleased that you found the cottage and the village welcoming. Property Owner

  Thank you for your feedback. There were already arrangements in place to maintain the bathroom and fit new blinds after the duration of your stay. With regards to the roof, it was an unfortunate event that the leak occurred, [ due to the relentless rain we experienced] as there is a date in place to re new the whole roof soon. As there is an alternative bedroom, which you used, you led me to believe that it was not an issue for you, and you were still enjoying your holiday.

• "Small & quirky, adequate for a short stay."

  Would benefit from updating inside, particularly the living space and the bathroom which is downstairs. No freezer or baking tray. The rear porch was useful as was the off road parking. Stairs quite dangerous and low doorways also one to be aware of when staying here. Otherwise a great location as a base, 10 mins to Driffield, 20 mins to Bridlington and a little further to fantastic Flamborough. Local pub good for beer but less so for food & terrible service sadly.

  Thank you for your comments. Lena Cottage is a 200-year old property with lots of character, so we feel that it is important to retain many of its original features and have furnished it in a way that reflects this. A freezer is not advertised and a baking tray is not a necessity, however we do take this point on board. Due to the age of the property, the stairs are steep and the doorways are low, and this is mentioned in the property description. Guests are also advised in the welcome book to use caution. Thank you again for your feedback, and we are glad to hear the property was a good base for you. Property Owner

  It was clean, adorable and more importantly, exactly like the pictures! The locals are extremely friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately when we went it was heavy rain all weekend so we were limited to what we could do. Bridlington town was only a 15min drive away and once again was lovely even in the rain (our dog didn't think so) it was also right on the coast so I could imagine on a sunny day the town would be busy. Would definitely stop again especially in the summer. The owners also were great. Answered every question I had with no problems and replies via sms were really fast too. Would definitely like to return some point in the future to go visit the cliffs which look spectacular!

  I booked two long stays at Lena Cottage and enjoyed every minute of them. It has the feel of a genuine 'lived in', homely cottage, almost like a trip back in time. Yes, the steps were steep and the treads a little shallow but that was all part of the charm and just required a bit of extra care. The cottage had all the facilities needed for a 'get away from it all' holiday break and the village of Kilham, with its renowned pub and hill top church, was charming without being in any way contrived. The pub is a rare, surviving example of a classic English village pub, comprising several small rooms with open fires, friendly locals, great beer and delicious food. There is a small garage and shop just round the corner from the cottage, which I found very handy for both petrol and basic supplies. Being only 9 miles from Bridlington, Lena Cottage makes an excellent base for exploring both the coast and the rolling hills of the Yorkshire Wolds. Jo, the owner, went out of her way to make us feel welcome and even provided Christmas trimmings to add the appropriate seasonal touch. I look forward to staying here again.

  It was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Dkg friendly and the owner even provided dog bowls, toys, towels and bags. Has very low ceilings and steep stairs to bear in mind. Would definitely recommend.

  We used this as a base to travel to many small villages where we ate out and were dog friendly. Could not fault it and will be coming back soon.

• "A quaint and cosy, well equipped cottage."

  However the steep staircase with uneven risers, caused my husband to fall down them, from top to bottom, the first night that we were there, despite being aware of this from a previous review. (He is fit and active, with no 'mobility issues'. So PLEASE, PLEASE, be aware, and take extra care on the stairs. He had to sleep downstairs thereafter, being badly bruised in the fall. Otherwise we spent time in the well kept and secure gardens, which offered generous off road parking.

  With everything provided felt like home from home. Everything of a high standard and very clean. Gated off road parking is excellent with a summer house to sit in on cooler evenings. Would highly recommend this cottage.

  Jo went above and beyond to get a new shower installed for us, as on the first night the shower broke...... same day a new one was put straight in with no problems. The only thing I can say that was not comfy was the double mattress, it could do with being replaced. I would definitely recommend Lena cottage to friends and family. We will be visiting again x

• "This is our second stay at Lena cottage and as was again a wonderful holiday!"

  The cottage is over 200 years old and oozes character! We love staying here! The owner is lovely and extremely helpful and there on the phone if you need her. The cottage is beautifully kept, spotless throughout and lots of movies and board games to play We enjoyed sitting outside of an evening on the patio area, very relaxing. Unfortunately the pub directly opposite the cottage has now closed down however the star just down the road (4min walk) has exceptional food and definitely worth a visit during your stay at Lena. Bridlington is about 20mins drive from the cottage so you are near to lots of beautiful places- we also like to visit Robin Hoods Bay which is not far away. Would certainly recommend Lena cottage; it gets a 10/10 from us! See you again soon!

• "A lovely old cottage - very clean, warm and comfortable."

  The best equipped cottage we have stayed in. Our dog would agree with us! We would highly recommend the village pub, The Old Star Inn - a very friendly atmosphere and good, wholesome food. Kilham is within easy reach of the several excellent beaches with good access for dogs. A very enjoyable break - great value for money.

• "The cottage was very dog friendly with feeding bowls, and treats for our dog provided, together with "doggy towels" I can only re-iterate what already is present on the website from previous visitors - A lovely cottage in a delightful and friendly village."

  If you could update your website, as the Village stores has recently closed, and one of the pubs in Kilham, The Bay Horse, has also closed in September 2019. The Old Star Inn however is a fine Old fashioned Village pub serving excellent food and ales. It is very dog friendly and the locals are a very friendly crowd.

  You do have to watch out for low beams going into bedrooms. Great for the dog having yard. Shop has closed down but you can get milk and bread from garage which is just along the street. Both pubs are really nice selling good food. The beach is only 20 minutes away, lovely and clean. Cottage very clean and cosy. We had a lovely weekend away thank you

  A beautiful quirky little cottage with bags of character! The place was spotless and is very apparent that it is a very loved place by it's owner! Jo is lovely and very helpful. The pub across the road (The Bay Horse) does THE most fantastic homemade food! (The steak is HIGHLY recommended!). The cottage had lots of added extras which was so lovely, such as; a range of DVDs, games and books, biscuits and teabags/coffee etc. Jo has also put together a very informative folder of local attractions and amenities. A beautiful stay and will be visiting again for sure!

• "The cottage was clean and functional."

  As detailed in the description, the stairs are very steep and the twin bedroom door is really low but we had to use this room as the bed in the double room is not full size and only just fits in the room. Our son was very happy to use that room. The garden is a lovely size but not private and not secure enough to leave dogs.
