Sunnyside Cottage

• "We enjoyed our stay, we visit this coast every year and love the area."

  The house was OK, just a few things. The kitchen could do with some sharp scissors, sharp knives and a roasting dish etc. Would have liked lids for the pans, but understood your reason for removing them. The singles room is only suitable for young children. One of the beds makes it difficult to shut the bedroom door, really only room for one bed in there. Our daughter is 24 and found the bed very uncomfortable (maybe needs a new mattress). Luckily she was only staying a couple of nights. Off road parking only suitable for a small car but plenty of street parking. It's quite a busy road for a small village! We didn't bother with the separate garden, nice but seemed pointless. We still had a nice holiday though, can't go wrong on that coast. Thank you.

• "This is the second time we have stayed here and we have loved it both times."

  A lovely homely cottage with a great garden. Each time there has been a lovely welcome package. Everywhere is always clean and has everything we need for a perfect holiday. The cottage is in a great location. I'm sure we will be back for a third time.

• "There has been no outcome of our complaint - we are expecting a call back from Sykes and have been for days."

  We would like a refund for the 3 nights we didn’t stay & the upset that was caused. My mum was actually poorly due to the state of the ‘cottage’. I’ve never had a worse holiday - my mum doesn’t have a lot of money to spend and this holiday was her treat for us both. I am devastated for her. I will be following this up with Sykes again as the hygiene of the property was appalling! I have many pictures to show this - hair in the bedding and bath, hair on the sink, mould in the pans, grease down the oven door, dog hair all over the rug and sofa (before our dog had even come in the property & he doesn’t shed), pizza under the sofa.. and more. I would like some resolution as we only managed to stay for 4 nights of our 7 until we had to go as my mum was so upset. We even went out and got our own cleaning things - this shouldn’t be happening!

  We acknowledge your comments. We explained to you when you rang us at 2.30pm on Saturday re key collection, that we'd a lot of extra cleaning to do following the mess left by our previous guests. Phil had to do an extra 200 mile round trip from home to help bring the cottage upto a suitable condition. The state of the cottage was reported to Sykes. Our normal clean is approx 3 1/2 hours, but on this occasion, it took over 7 hours. Phil asked you to ring us if there were any problems /issues, but the first time we knew you were unhappy was when we received our Forward Arrival Schedule on the Wednesday. You'd responded to Sykes Arrival e-mail with issues & said you wouldn't be staying the whole week. We could have addressed these issues easily if we'd been notified. We rang Sykes for advice & they contacted you. Sykes have told us that the call was 'amicable' & you'd left the cottage that morning.The following Monday we saw your review. After 12 years of owning the cottage, we have never had such a negative review & we again contacted Sykes for their advice. Sykes rang you again, looked at your photographs & listened to the original call with you. There was no mention of a return call required or a claim for compensation as your review states. Sykes do not believe the issues you've raised were worth a 'walk-out' & we could have easily resolved the problems had you contacted us soon after arriving. We are obviously very upset & disappointed that you didn't enjoy your stay. We take a real pride in trying to give our guests an enjoyable stay as many of our on-line reviews & comments in our Visitors Book state. On this occasion, we did our best to leave our cottage in a clean, satisfactory condition given the time available. Property Owner

• "Sunnyside cottage was a beautiful comfy cosy little cottage."

  Everything you would need, like home from home. A lovely welcome pack was much appreciated. Sunnyside cottage is in the beautiful village of Muston not far from Filey, had a day at Scarborough too and even a day in Whitby which was less than an hours drive. A lovely base to explore this beautiful part of North Yorkshire. Will definitely be back in the future

• "Was a lovely cottage, perfect for two and one small dog."

  The back yard was super secure and lovely area for dog walking. The reading snug in the lounge was simply the best little touch, with the wood burner alight, a glass of wine and a good book, a tiny piece of heaven. The host was really helpful and friendly. If I could recommend one improvement it would be the beds, they’ve all seen better days and need replacement mattresses and ideally the double bed exchanged for a bigger one, plenty of room in the bedroom to accommodate a king size and that would make the stay just about perfect

• "Cozy, well equipped and comfortable cottage."

  Generous welcome pack. Suited our family of two adults and one child, not forgetting our pet dog. Muston is a great location for exploring this area. There is a paved back yard. The grassed garden is a short walk away- must be lovely to sit out in sunny weather and was a necessity for our dog first and last thing. Our dog was always supervised due to multitude of local dog walkers using the pathway at back of the house and two ponies in opposite field during the day. An unusual request for no pan lids to be used had us a bit surprised! Despite the owners explanation of lids possibly causing damage to the hob top - I've always found pan lids ensure food cooks quicker and reduces steam in the kitchen. It's a pity there are some clumsy cooks! Perhaps owners could consider fitting a small dish washer. This could be a real asset as most of us are used to this as a necessity not a luxury.

  Thank you for your lovely feedback. We have noted your comments & wish to clarify that the previous owners of our cottage had an issue with a pan lid on the hob top causing the glass the crack. We hope to prevent this happening again & causing inconvenience for any guests during their holiday. Property Owner

  Peaceful village, easy access to Filey, Whitby, Bridlington and York using the park and ride. The cottage is outstanding. A home from home. The owners of Sunnyside Cottage left nothing wanting and there were even hot water bottles, not as they were needed, it truly is a great place to stay.

• "Sunnyside is a very comfortable cottage which was cleaned to a high standard and well equipped."

  The furnishings and beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. The house provided an excellent base for exploring the area and visiting the local seaside resorts as well as tourist attractions inland. The one downside of the cottage was that, although Muston is a very pretty village, it straddles a busy through road which runs between Filey and Malton. As the cottage was situated on this road, the traffic noise was often quite considerable, so it wasn't always as peaceful as we had hoped. However, the local people were extremely friendly and pleasant and overall we did enjoy our stay - our first holiday since before the Covid pandemic and much needed.

  It was clean and we felt safe during these unprecedented times. Cottage was on a busy road that we weren’t aware off. A lovely location to discover the spectacular coast line and walks that Yorkshire has to offer. Distance from Cottage to Filey beach was a 30 minute walk which was beautiful and a bonus we could walk. Local pub The Ship Inn offered good food and a warm welcome. Dog friendly too. Definitely recommend a visit.

  Great central location for exploring the busier seaside towns or the more rural loactions. Fabulous dog friendly beaches at Cayton Bay and Hunmanby Gap. The welcome basket was a lovely touch. The Ship Inn just up the road served delicious home cooked meals with plently of outside seating and dogs welcome. Great off road parking was a bonus. The courtyard was perfect for outside dining as was the seperate garden. Plently of space for the children and dog to stretch their legs whilst the adults sat and relaxed after a busy day. Lots of space inside the cottage too. An ideal place to stay and we would definately book again.

• "Fantastic little cottage, we were a family of four plus our Labrador & had a great week in the house."

  Even during the strange times of Covid where holiday houses (we own one too so know how hard it is to strike a balance) are stripping back on non essential items, the house had everything we needed with some extra touches. We all really enjoyed the garden which is a sun trap, the dog probably the most. It it a 45 minute walk into the centre of Filey but you can knock 5 minutes off if you use the Wolds Way footpath into town, The local pub was very good for proper pub food, nothing too fancy but great quality traditional meals. You really need to book especially at present (August 2020).

• "The cottage was lovely and perfect for our needs."

  The second bedroom with twin beds was very small with little legroom between the beds and there wasn't a photo of this when I booked unusually. It wasn't a problem however as there was only myself in that room but for two people in there and the heat we have experienced, it probably would have been uncomfortable. There was the best welcome pack ever I have to say in my experience of renting holiday cottages. Although we didn't find any shops in the village, there was a quiet country pub only 50 yards away and but Hunmanby and Filey are only a short distance away. All in all a lovely holiday cottage.
