There were a few little niggles that took the edge off our stay. The house itself is well laid out with all the home comforts you could think off. The courtyard garden is beautiful, secure (well sort of) and a wonderful suntrap. First niggle, which was the biggest, is the so called fridge freezer. It is tiny and certainly not suitable for 4 adults and a dog. We had arranged a Morrison delivery and quickly realised we were not going to be able to keep it all cold and fresh with the hot weather we had. There isn't a shop at all in the village, the nearest is 6 miles, not 2 as stated, hence doing an online shop. This is could easily be rectified by removing one of the numerous empty kitchen cupboards and adding an under counter fridge and freezer. There was a a small welcome pack consisting of a small loaf of bread, cherry bakewells and a bottle of wine, which were enjoyed, thank you. There was milk but as it was an opened 4 pint with 1/2 pint remaining we didn't use it, who would?! Tea & coffee, along with a few other bits pieces were provided. I chose Bankhouse after a review stated how secure it was for their nervous, reactive dog. Just what we needed. Unfortunately it could have gone horribly wrong. As we were enjoying the garden one afternoon, after a lovely day out, someone walked into the garden via the gate and started moving the recycling bins about. I was able to grab our dog before there was a nasty incident. Obviously they were doing the owners a favour but a knock on the door would be advisable. The beds were so comfortable, we all commented on how well we all slept. Plenty of extra blankets were available if needed. The bathroom is a good size, with a lovely waterfall shower. Though the bath is steep and there is a step that can make it difficult, especially getting out. The toilet flush button is very difficult to use, this needs to be looked at. Finally the front door is very difficult to open, you really have to give it a good shove. Some of these things would be extremely difficult for someone with strength and mobility issues. All in all, we had a nice break. The fabulous weather certainly helped.

We loved our Christmas stay at this well-equipped cottage in friendly Easington village. Decorated and furnished to a high standard and really cosy too. Easington is within easy reach of local beaches (including Withernsea, Easington and Kilnsea). Spurn point and Kilnsea Wetlands nature reserves are close by too. The garden is a good size - quiet, very private and well-established, with interesting planting. Itâs rare to find a holiday cottage garden that is fully and properly enclosed â it was great to be able to give our nervous rescue dog Poppy the freedom to wander a little on her own without us having to worry. Thank you again Michelle and Grahame for a lovely stay.
