“In general we had a great stay in Scarborough. The flat is in the center of Scarbourough near the coast and at least from two sleeping rooms and the kitchen great sea views are possible. In general the environment is not noisy except sometimes motorcycles or cars may do some very noisy drive. The stairhouse is very steep and nothing for handicap persons. The sleeping rooms are spacious and the beds are comfortable but with soft mattress (at least in our sleeping room). We had the in our bath room the issue of ice cold shower due to a damage of previous tenant, which could not be fixed during our stay. The two other couples had at least warm shower in their bath room. The dryer was very noisy but the result of dry clothes was ok. In the kitchen we miss a really big pot and related cooking or backing equipment for more than 4 people. But the crockery and the cutlery was sufficient for us 6 to 7 people, especially when the dishwasher runs daily. The tea pot is really to small for more than 4 tea drinking people, so that during our stay the electric kettle had a very hard job. For more than 6 people the kitchen table is to small, okay there exists a board for inlaid. But with this board the acces to the kitchen bench seat is difficult and only from one side possible. Additional the kitchen bench seat is a little bit to high for the kitchen table. So I guess the kitchen is the limiting factor for flat. I would say more than 7 to 8 adult people should not use the flat during their holiday stay. The veranda was not really useable as the awning was not really fixed - we need to roll it up on a fixation bar and fix it with a cord, to avoid the trashing in the wind (or may be the sail away of the awning). So finally any eating or sun bathing on this veranda may result in enjoing bird droppings.
But once again in general we had a relaxing and nice stay in this flat (at least with three adult couples and a some day visit of a seventh adult).”
“We always compare other cottage companies when we're looking for somewhere to stay for a weekend or week away & we always end up coming back to Sykes, because their prices are much more competitive.”
“Wir waren 1 Woche im Yard Cottage. Es war sehr gut ausgestattet. Die Küche war sauber und es gab ausreichend Geschirr. Die Lage war absolut ruhig und sehr privat. In den Bädern hätten wir gerne lieber eine Dusche gehabt da die Wannen sehr eng und klein sind. Wir können das Yard Cottage sehr empfehlen.”
“We have booked cottages through Sykes many times. They have always proved to be totally reliable and all the cottages have been to a good standard. The booking process along with the range and location of properties is excellent.”
“Very happy stay in this delightful flat in Coniston. It was beautifully clean and welcoming when we arrived and had everything we needed.
One thing that would have helped identify the flat is a new photo of the outside! The flat is very different looking with its smart exterior, to the photo on the Sykes website!
Would definitely recommend to others and would hope to return.”
“Beautiful property set in a perfect location to explore Berwick upon tweed and the surrounding location. We're a family of 8, 6 adults and two children, with one dog. The property was very comfortable, spacious and well equipped. We had a fabulous fortnight stay there.”
“The apartment was very comfortable nice facilities on site. Easy to visit different places.
Cream tea when we arrived, however, we did not have any tea or coffee left which was supposed to be with it.”
“Lovely cottage,lovely village.
Only problem - not enough comfy seating for the evenings- one settee, one uncomfortable chair, not enough for 2 couples.”
