Guests say
The Burton Fleming cottage has received high praise for its comfortable bedrooms, well-equipped kitchen, and lovely garden. Guests have enjoyed the thoughtful touches, such as homemade cakes and fresh flowers. While there are some concerns about cleanliness and maintenance, the overall experience is positive, with the property being a peaceful base for exploring the area.
Most reviews do not mention cleanliness issues, suggesting satisfaction. However, one review citing dirty towels and dusters indicates some inconsistency, leading to a score above average but not excellent.
The location is generally appreciated for its quietness and as a base for exploring the Wolds and coastal resorts. One concern about traffic and safety slightly affects the score.
The majority of guests find the cottage comfortable, with special mentions of comfy bedrooms and living spaces. One review notes uncomfortable chairs, but this seems an isolated view.
Facilities are well-regarded, with mentions of a fully equipped kitchen and quality garden furniture. Some issues with towel rails and a lack of a pub or farm shop as advertised lead to a slightly reduced score.
Guests have noted thoughtful gestures such as homemade cakes and fresh flowers, enhancing their stay. While these gifts are appreciated, they are not guaranteed and may vary.

The front door opens straight onto this road. We found this dangerous with our little dog and getting in and out of our car. TV and Satellite box was very difficult to tune in, even with instructions card. Owners live directly next door; no feeling of exclusivity due to them being so close. Garden is not secure for dog as there is a low wall at back of garden. Bath is difficult for older people to use due to lack of hand rail or slip mat. Similarly, the very steep and dark stairs are not suited for older people. Two of the upstairs bedrooms are very small and arenât really a suitable size to have double beds in. Advertised as having a pub in village, it has closed down. Also, no farm shop as advertised. However, the garden and hot tub were nice.

. Cannot praise highly enough, and the owners are extremely friendly, introducing themselves, but remaining in the background . Would love to stay here again, thank you for ensuring that we had a lovely Easter break.

When we arrived there were dirty towels and dusters in a pile which I had to move. Also the towel rails were not working so we had to dry them in the radiators! Not very good. House is lovely but chairs are uncomfortable especially for older people. They did put the towel rails on when they came back from oversea trips, there was no face mask wearing though. The towel rails were not put on a timer so they were in all night and day and it was stifling so we had to ask fir help again to turn them off. The instruction book said they should be on a timer. Very disappointed and it caused us personal problems and donât think we would consider this property again.
