The well-appointed kitchen is just next door with an electric oven and hob, large fridge/freezer, and dishwasher, so you can cook at home with ease. Outside, you'll have your own private, enclosed sanctuary which is pet-friendly for dogs to rest their paws, whilst you dine al fresco, snooze on the cushioned furniture set under a gazebo with the sound of the running stream below. After a busy day exploring the coast, head upstairs to freshen up in the contemporary bathroom with a bath and shower over, before choosing between three beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with ample storage space and a TV.

..great that we all had TV in the bedrooms so adult children could have their own space when needed. Loved the larger outside space, jacuzzi, table and garden sofa. The area was great - a short walk to local amenities and also woods to explore on the doorstep which was perfect for our dogs. Skinningrove Beach is beautiful and lots of other nearby beaches and cliff walks.

We loved our stay and as our first Sykes booking we will book again. The welcome pack was a lovely touch also and the house was clean and spotless. Just a few recommendations and also some feedback The garden was quite dirty and furniture had not been cleaned or washed down. Small detail but I spent a few hours cleaning it myself from slugs and the usual things outside. There was a full wheelie bin left in the alleyway and had dirty nappies inside of it. Not sure itâs ever been emptied. The hot tub was amazing however one side of the jets did not work. More frying pans needed for the induction hob A Parking space would have been nice as we had 2 cars and we had to park next to the house rather than in front. Small details again. Other than this an amazing place and really enjoyed it
