"Absolutely love this cottage, it's in a unique spot with gorgeous views and easy access to public transport."
I have been here a few times now as its such a cosy and comfortable place. The only downfall is the rolls of dust, hair etc under the sofas.

"Enjoyed our stay in the cottage was lovely and clean situated in a beautiful village."
Our only niggle was the key kept getting stuck in the door and we had to put the heating on slightly to get any hot water. We read the manual but doesn't mention . No problems otherwise all good ,we loved how the garden goes into the field through the gate.

"Lovely place in a beautiful setting, the views are amazing out the back."
The beds are very comfortable and fresh, but the the drawers in the right hand bedroom need fixing as the bottom one is broken. However the ground floor has a beautiful wood flooring which would be nice if it were clean. The living room looks like it hasn't been cleaned for sometime, there's loads of muck under the sofas. The windows in the living room didn't open and given the weather conditions it was uncomfortably hot. This is the second time we've stayed in this cottage, and would certainly stay again, it would be nicer if it was clean on arrival

"Dirty and Broken."
toilet flush broken (reported by previous guests). Reported and very reluctant to do anything, blamed previous guest for "meddling with it". It is BROKEN it JAMS when you try to flush, it has a hole in it, it is dirty. Said would sort it out "first thing". Well "first thing" didn't happen. Shower controller broken (reported by previous guests). Temp controller did not stay in place, rotated so shower got hotter and hotter, risk of scalding. 3 days later shower controller was replaced. But why not fix the toilet at the same time? Black mould in shower cubicle especially on mosaic tiles. Whole cottage is very dirty including plate draining rack, venetian blinds and mirrors. It is not just wear and tear, it is ingrained dirt, this place has not had a proper clean in many months. Website says cottage available from 5pm. Said it would be ready at 4pm. A pity he did not spend the hour fron 4 to 5pm actually cleaning the place. Sykes have gone down in my estimation by continuing to list a property in this state.

"Very basic and very overpriced."
Kitchen equipment poor. No casserole dishes to put in oven. No basins or jugs no teapot no spatula or big spoon. The oven wasn’t clean. I found large slugs on the kitchen floor on two occasions late at night.
The windows downstairs don’t open and there is no fan. Consequently it got very stuffy. The light bulb in the lounge lamp had not been replaced although it had be reported previously. The bed linen and towels were clean and fresh.
The bedding and the towels were fine .

"Ideally located in a picutresque part of Scarborough and for exploring the North Yorkshire countryside and coast."
The cottage was comfortable and warm with a reasonably well equipted kitchen. General clenliness of the property was poor, dusty, cobwebs, and a bit grubby in most rooms. The fridge is rather old but works fine and the same goes for the microwave. We definetly would consider it again but think it was relatively overpriced for the quality of the cottage.
