We have just had a fantastic week at Carr Cottage! The weather was superb with sunshine every day! Great location for visiting the nearby seaside towns and fabulous miles of dog friendly beaches! The cottage is quirky and interesting in a beautiful peaceful setting with very friendly staff, neighbours and villagers who all make you feel very welçome. We hope to return again soon!

We’ve stayed at Carr Cottage many times and it’s always just been a quaint little haven of peace and quiet.. It’s close enough to several seaside towns which all have a different appeal but still far enough away to make you believe you’re in the middle of nowhere!

This is our second visit to this lovely cottage, having thoroughly enjoyed the situation and peaceful setting, well away from the road.. It is set within extensive grounds, including a beautiful garden available for visitors and areas for families to sit in the sunshine while the children play. As per the description, this Grade II cottage IS rare and quirky, absolutely NOT modern, but totally enchanting. If you are looking for a state of the art upgraded place to stay with all mod cons... this isnt it. This is not an ultra-modern property, and that really IS part of its charm. It doesn't have a dishwasher, as noted in the cottage description - but it's easy living and very relaxing. It is absolutely a family letting, for those with children, and although it would be possible to provide for more than two adults, the single beds really are for children. The description is clear regarding the lack of WiFi - in that there isn't any, or at least barely any signal - so be prepared for a holiday without the trappings of technology [wonderful!]. It also clearly describes the bathrooms as having hand-showers [no overhead showers] over the bath and that is also true. Sloping ceilings make it difficult for tall adults to shower, so bathing would be preferable. The location makes this an ideal place for visiting other local attractions as well as being approximately 15 minutes from Bridlington by car. Nearby Rudston and its unique monolith is the next village, and Sledmere isn't far. Apparently, somehow a full complement of six 6'5" National basketball team booked to stay this year, each one arriving in their own car [it clearly states that there is room for two cars] - and of course the facilities were totally inappropriate for a letting of this kind. The property is of course clean - in the countryside there is good reason for the the odd spider - and they are also resident.

Très déçue.. Maison sale et propriétaires menteur et inaccessible. . Jeûnai envoyé une mail à skyes mais pas de nouvelles. Honteux. Decue. Et aucun dédommagement.

Quite narrow and steep stairs and no proper shower with no bath mat in one bathroom.. No bulb in top corridor leading to second bathroom and end bedroom. Kitchen shabby.

Great, quirky cottage set in fantastic surroundings.. Although the cottage was clean, and comfy, it does need a bit of attention inside. It is an old place, so old furniture does go, but it is in need of a freshen up. one of the twin rooms needs the beds renewing. you sat on one side and it just rocked the bed. I'm surprised my daughter didn't fall out. but other than that it is conveniently located for brid, flamborough, Bempton and all surrounding areas.

The Hall and surrounding grounds, village etc., were beautiful but Carr Cottage itself is very dated, shabby and in need of a great deal of TLC. The furniture was old (not in a good antique way) and threadbare and the bedding and towels were cheap and clearly hadn't been replaced for quite a few years. We loved The Hall and grounds and garden but Carr Cottage didn't live up to the rest of the place and we were very disappointed with it. Also we had arranged the day before arrival to meet the caretaker at her cottage to pick up the keys and be shown around the cottage but after waiting for 30 minutes had to let ourselves in with the keys which had been left in the front door of the cottage!

Fantastic location in the grounds of a stately home with gardens available to picnic in.. Helpful staff live nearby and dealt quickly with our only problem, which was getting the DVD player to work! Bridlington south beach is 15 minutes away (Google a back route which avoids the town traffic ). Robin Hoods Bay, Whitby and Scarborough are all an easy distance. Highly recommended for a family holiday.

Very poor accommodation. Old, uncomfortable furniture. Needs a huge amount of money to be spent on it. Bathrooms have hand shower on bath side, ceiling so low cannot stand up.Kitchen doors peeling off. Awful!!!

Chose this cottage due to its quiet, outlying location and spacious grounds. House very roomy, but really needs renovation and update to decor. Twin beds in pink bedroom far too soft and in need of renewal. However, our main complaint was that it was virtually impossible to have a shower, as there were no shower screens in either bathroom, and no adequate wall fixing for the shower head. Being a party of 3 over 60s and 2 young children, this was a significant problem.

Good location for visting this beautful area. Nice location of the cottage and divine gardens through an archway to the houses opposite. We enjoyed our holiday with our family and parents, however this property is in desperate need of renovation/ updating. As a family we stay at at least two holidays cottages per year and have never had a problem or felt so dissapointed. There is clear evidence of rising damp, incorrectly positioned smoke alarms, no sign of a CO2 detecter, old wiring, peeling celings in the bathroom, the list is endless. I let properties I own and quite frankly if it was me letting or mangaging this property, I would be too embrassed to rent this property out. I did try and discuss the issue of having to clean the bath every time we used it as it was covered with peeling paint however, the impression I got from the caretakers reply was that was while the house was been booked out, nothing would be done. I gave up any further discussions on the property.

Carr Cottage is in a nice, quiet area but is conveniently situated a few miles away from Bridlington and Filey. The garden is lovely and is a peaceful place to sit on a warm day. The lounge is the best room in the cottage, nicely decorated with a window seat overlooking the garden.

We had a relaxing holiday in this property which is part of an historic house in a small village near the sea. Lovely garden centre with a cafe nearby and shops and both town and countryside on your doorstep.

The gorgeous location, tucked away on a country estate.. It was peaceful yet only a few minutes drive to the nearby town of Bridlington. The house itself was really quirky, like being 'downstairs' in Downton Abbey, which we loved. Great location overall for visiting East Yorkshire.

We loved the location of the cottage, attached to the beautiful Boynton Hall out in the country, horses in the field, a lovely garden and gazebo where we had our lunches, woodland walks with our little dog.

Had a warm welcome and the cottage was surprisingly large, the internet pictures certainly didn't do it justice. Very quiet with beautiful large garden to the rear of the property ideal for families and young children with friendly horses in the field to feed, a walled garden to play in and ample garden space for playing. Had a fantastic stay and would certainly return due to fantastic value for money and ideal location for a holiday to Bridlington and surrounding attractions.

The house was ideal for us with two small children - lots of space for them to play, very few cars coming down the private drive to the main house and a fantastic, huge enclosed garden to play in. They especially enjoyed the animals on the farm, and a big sandy beach is about 10 miles away.

Mrs Morans

The setting was splendid with a beautiful garden. Two bathrooms worked well for 2 families staying together. Friendly people at the site.
