Guests say
Causeway Cottage is highly praised for its comfort, well-maintained state, and excellent location near the beach. Guests appreciate the welcome pack and the property's suitability for families and pets. While most reviews are positive, some guests noted cleanliness issues and missing basic items, but these do not overshadow the overall positive experience.
Cleanliness received mixed feedback. Several guests found the property to be spotless and well maintained, while others reported issues with cleanliness, such as smears and crumbs, suggesting room for improvement. The majority, however, were satisfied, leading to a generally positive but not perfect score.
The location is consistently praised for its proximity to the beach and local amenities. Guests appreciate the easy access to nearby towns and the peaceful setting, contributing to a high score for location.
Guests frequently mention the comfort of the cottage, highlighting the comfy beds and sofas, and the cosy atmosphere provided by features like the log burner. A few guests found the sofas uncomfortable, but these comments were in the minority.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and good on-site amenities like a pub and swimming pool. Some guests noted missing items or maintenance issues, such as slippery baths without handles, which slightly lowers the score.
The welcome pack is frequently mentioned and appreciated, indicating thoughtfulness by the owners. However, as gifts are not guaranteed and there were some concerns about missing basics, the score reflects the positive sentiment with a slight adjustment for the variability of provision.

Could not locate the radio 'in the kitchen' The standard lamp in the open plan area downstairs needs a new bulb- couldn't locate one which was 'right' for the lamp. Warm and comfortable and near the facilities on the complex Quieter than we thought it might have been at the weekend, but this was a good thing. Wondered why there was a orb to mount in the parking area.

!!5* star accommodation and site, especially for a dog owner with long walks along the bay! Did miss the lovely 'welcome pack' this time, but perhaps no longer feasible? And no logs for wood burning stove in two visits. But, this does not distract from the qualities of the Causeway Cottage and it's fabulous location. We will be back again and continue to highly recommend the place!!!

We have already booked again for next year. It is close to the beach path so little legs can walk without complaint. The play park around the corner is lovely. The facilities and activities on site are great, we tried archery and tie die. The cottage has plenty of room for a family of four. A real home from home. Location wise it is also only a short drive from Filey, Scarborough and Bridlington so if you want to go out itâs not far at all. Just perfect and the owners are very quick to help if you need anything. Nothing was too much trouble. Thanks you so much.
