• "Lovely little cottage perfect for our needs, local to family."

  Fully equipped and great space for all 5 of us to stay and host family get together for Christmas. Only down side with the cottage is now the beds, the mattresses are feeling worn and soft, 3 of us have come away aching after a few uncomfortable nights. Firmer and newer mattresses would make things perfect.

  Thank you for your comments. We do replace the mattresses on an annual basis, in fact we have replaced most of them in the last six months but we do appreciate your feedback and will take it in on board. Property Owner

• "Lovely cottage with some nice welcome touches provided by the owner."

  A problem with the central heating was quickly resolved and the cottage soon got toasty warm. There is a lot of space and I can imagine it would be excellent for families with its outdoor play area. The location is quite remote so its not practical to walk to any shops/pubs but there are delivery services from local restaurants.

• "Shame about the road!"

  So noisy. Traffic started around 6am, in addition to cars, lots of heavy lorries and tractors. Seems to be used as a race track! Not a lot you can do apart from making potential guests aware. Also a little surprised that TV was not connected to internet. Owners very helpful when we lost electricity whilst cooking.

• "Lovely holiday 'cottage'."

  Large inside and out with excellent facilities. Nicely positioned in rural area off fairly busy road, which isn't a problem. The kitchen could do with more storage cabinets and a new hob, existing one works ok but it's difficult to understand the controls! If I was being picky, the double bed in the downstairs bedroom could do with a new mattress - not the most comfortable. Would highly recommend this property.

• "We had a lovely week at Owl Cottage."

  It is very spacious and comfortable with a very large garden which my 2 year old grandson loved. He also loved the huge windows which gave him great views of the tractors going by. We are nature lovers who enjoy walking and found lots of good places to walk close by. Spurn Point is definitely worth a visit with a lovey beach and great views. There were swallows nesting in the open garage which we really enjoyed watching flying in and out whilst sat outside. Sadly didn't see any owls though. The cottage had most things we needed apart from a bread knife and the only large cutting knife had the tip missing but theses are only minor niggles. We would definitely visit again and recommend to family and friends.

  Lack of toilet roll holders in both bathrooms. The mattress downstairs was not very comfy and resulted in a lack of sleep for my wife for the first few nights. Perhaps they need changing in both bedrooms? playing musical beds was fun!

• "The location for us was ideal, as we have family in Hedon."

  It gives easy access to Beverly, (market days Wednesday and Saturday), and Hull, (check out The Deep and the museums). We were able to have an extended family bbq afternoon with 11 people because of the ample space, lots of crockery etc. an excellent kitchen, a big bbq and outside furniture for all of us. It has space for the children to run around and play football, although there was fun retrieving the ball from the ditch several times! Owl cottage is off the road; I read a comment about the traffic, but we found no problem with noise. Yes, when you are sat outside you can hear everything, but other than short commuter times, this was the occasional tractor and empty buses. The accommodation is disabled friendly but not built for the disabled, (it doesn’t claim to be either), but if you make the owners aware they will provide a seat for the downstairs wet room shower, (which by the way, was excellent), and they provide a movable suction grip, which can be used to help the infirm in the bathroom. There are one or two minor things able bodied people don’t always see, but I have pointed them out to the owners. If you have anyone partially sighted the three small steps for the area outside the back door can be difficult to distinguish. However, don’t let this put you off. My parents are 88 & 82 and they loved the place and found it very friendly for the unsure on foot. My severely autistic nephew loved the freedom of the paddock to kick his ball around, and the two resident adults and five family members who visited at various times all enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and being able to sit out and watch the buzzards and kites.

• "This is the first time we have booked with Sykes Cottages, this was a last minute booking in an area we have visited many times before (most recently May 18) the accommodation was very clean and well presented."

  We booked the accommodation for the Mother in Laws 73rd Birthday. There was those little extras that the owner had provided that were really appreciated, the welcome pack, the greetings card welcoming the group, a selection of reusable bags for life to do any shopping with and the local paper, which we have never had anywhere else before. We even had a visit from an owl trust volunteer to check the owl box in the barn,(which we did not mind) an owl was spotted several times throughout our stay flying around the property. We can't wait to get back to the area.
