Guests say
This apartment offers a spacious base in a fantastic coastal location, with easy access to the beach, on-site pub, and leisure facilities. Many guests appreciated the well-equipped kitchen and the peaceful setting. However, several reviews mention that the property is in need of some maintenance and updating, particularly regarding cleanliness, comfort of beds and sofas, and minor repairs. While some guests found the apartment clean and welcoming, others experienced issues with cleanliness and maintenance. The lack of Wi-Fi and occasional missing welcome packs were noted. Overall, the property is ideal for those seeking a convenient location and good value.
Cleanliness feedback is mixed. Some guests found the apartment clean and tidy, while others reported issues such as dusty blinds, stained bedding, dirty ovens, and bathrooms needing attention. Several reviews mention the property was not cleaned on arrival or required further cleaning. Overall, standards appear inconsistent.
The location is highly praised, with guests enjoying the proximity to the beach, local attractions, and on-site amenities. The setting is described as peaceful and ideal for exploring the Yorkshire coast, though the walk to the beach is steep for some.
Comfort is a recurring concern, with many guests finding the beds and sofas uncomfortable or in need of replacement. Some guests managed with the provided cushions, but others left early due to discomfort. The apartment is spacious, but furniture quality and mattress comfort are frequently criticised.
Facilities are adequate, with a well-equipped kitchen and access to on-site amenities like the pool and pub. However, maintenance issues such as broken blinds, blocked sinks, rusty radiators, and lack of Wi-Fi are commonly mentioned. Some guests noted missing or unclear instructions for appliances and site facilities.
A few guests received small welcome packs, but this is not consistent and cannot be guaranteed. Several reviews mention a lack of basic items such as soap, tea, or milk on arrival, and some guests would have appreciated more local information or instructions.

The apartment is lovely, very spacious and quiet. It was perfect for our cheap break. The bed in the main bedroom was super comfy. However our adult daughter found the bunk bed not so comfy, probably be OK for kids The kitchen was well equipped with nice appliances and a super hot oven. As mentioned the sofas could be a bit more comfortable but we managed with the cushions provided. There is no WiFi included but we had a phone signal so not a problem. Onside there is a pub, shop, takeaway, games room and pool. Plus you can walk to a huge beach, even if down quite a steep hill . The place is so handy for lots if attractions, we recommend Rspb Bempton cliffs, Filey Bird garden, The Scarborough Fair Collection, Afternoon tea at the Stained glass centre. We had a lovely break and honestly for the money we paid we can't fault it.

The property was spacious and nice but unfortunately the maintenance was not up to standard The main bathroom hand sink plug was a pop up waste but it didnât and there also no washer fitted to it so the water just ran away The bath side was damaged The tray left in the oven was dirty The kettle needs to be replaced or descaled

The en-suite sink was partially blocked and took about 10 minutes to drain away, even after only a few seconds of use. The sink plug in the other bathroom was not working properly. It did not seal well and did not stop the water draining away. It was also very difficult to pull up, as the mechanism did not work correctly. Just another issue, the directions to the property were not very good and we needed to ask a local cleaner to tell us where it was.
