QUAYSIDE, pet friendly, with open fire in Sandsend

Really lovely family break away. The location of this house is perfect. We used the pub just over the bridge for our first evening meal and used both cafés for breakfast both mornings and the fish cottage next door all were fantastic. The house is lovely but as previous reviews have suggested it is very tired and could really do with some things looking at. The decor is very tired. There is plaster coming off the walls, one of the sofas in the lounge is broken, the downstairs toilet light didn’t work so this could not be used once it was dark. The stairs up to the third floor bedrooms (which are all single beds) was difficult to access for the older family members and is slippery so definitely bring rubber soled slippers/shoes. The fridge freezer also could do with a really good clean. None of this spoilt out time away it was really lovely but improvements really do need to be considered for the price paid.

Lovely house, and location.

The house had not been cleaned.We had to ring the emergency number, but overall communication was poor. Someone came just as we were about to book into a hotel. She made up some beds for us and found a cot.... for our now fractious 9 month old baby! The place was not clean. Someone else came the next day to hoover up, but didnt bring cleaning materials. She did clean the kichen floor when asked. There was other guests rubbish left in the kichen and in some of the bins. And even condoms in one of the bedrooms!! We were not happy to say the least. I have emailed Sykes and raised a complaint. Someone has tried to ring me today to discuss.

We had such a fabulous weekend in Sandsend which we have totally fallen in love with. The property was lovely and I will so miss sitting in the bay window breathing in that stunning view. The teens had great fun learning to surf in Saltburn and the ladies loved exploring the quaint surroundings and shops in Staithes, Saltburn, Whitby and Sandsend. Hope to return

Ideal location and the interior of property is lovely and comfortable for families. The exterior is off-putting and needs a good clean and tidy-up especially around the side where there was dog mess, builders rubble and litter all of which could be easily sorted. The cooker is definitely well past is its best! That said we all had a great time and loved being so close to the beach.
