Harbour Cottage in Bridlington offers a central location close to the beach, with a well-equipped kitchen and a garden. Guests appreciate the welcome hamper and the property's cleanliness, though some noted issues with comfort and maintenance. The cottage is ideal for families and those without mobility issues.
Most guests found the cottage to be clean and tidy, with only a couple of mentions of a smell upon arrival and a stained bath. The general consensus is that the property is well-maintained in terms of cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for being central, close to the town centre, beach, and harbour, making it an excellent base for exploring Bridlington.
Comfort received mixed reviews. While some guests found the beds comfortable and the cottage cosy, others struggled with steep stairs and an uncomfortable mattress in the master bedroom.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and games for children. However, there were reports of missing items like a hair dryer and a TV remote, and suggestions for additional kitchenware and glasses.
Guests were touched by the welcome hamper, although it's noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and not guaranteed. The effort to provide a homely atmosphere is evident, despite some oversight in ensuring all amenities are functional.
Nestled into the coast of Bridlington, just a stone’s throw from local attractions and amenities, Harbour Cottage is a fantastic base for a family or group of friends looking to explore North Yorkshire.

Freshen up in the bathroom with either a soak in the tub or a refreshing shower, before snuggling up in one of the three bedrooms, each with homely décor and their own character and charm, choosing between a double, a twin and a single. Bridlington is a great location, with a great variety of tasty eateries, shops and convenience stores only a short walk from the property, allowing guests to dine out and stock up on essentials.

It is in an ideal position close to the Harbour and town centre. The property is very clean and well maintained and we all agreed the beds were very comfortable. The welcome basket is a lovely touch & the log burner created a very cosy atmosphere. Will hopefully be back again soon.

The house is generally clean it could do with the windows cleaned and the stain in the bath removed. Lampshades and curtain pole need attention.There was ample room and the kitchen is beautiful and well equipped with everything you need. The garden is a real bonus especially with having somewhere to hang washing.The house is a short distance from the beach which is great.There was a terrible smell permeating through the house. Spoke to the owner on Sunday who assured us the drains had been checked but he never came out to check so put up with it for the week. Was glad to leave a day early so we didn't have to smell it anymore.

We are both in our 80s my wife is severely disabled. We arrived late afternoon Friday, unpacked and thought we'd settle in. TV & internet not working, I read the manual . No joy. So went out in the car went for a meal,came back, early to bed. Tried the TV etc, Saturday morning. Still not working Mad a few calls to Sykes , no person to speak to each gave me options to look on line > No internet i texted a message no response, I phoned again eventually clicking a number to discuss buying /selling a property. Succsess a person answered I explained our problem, She said wrong department wait I'll find someone I waited at least 30 mins, no response went to a public library to find a sykes contact n umber where I could speak to someone once again no number other than the ones I had by this time I'm feeling emasculated there is nothing I could do . Sunday I find a phone shop to confirm that my text had been sent yes it had no idea if anyone saw it it is like dealing with mindless robots. Monday ready for home. I try again the number to discuss buying/selling speak to someone who promises to sort something out .About 5 pm the owner rings me and arranges for her husband to visit, he arrives about 7 pm & evevtually gets the TV & internet working. Had there been a number in the cottage in case of any problems, water leaks something not working the holiday would have been excellent. Apart from the trouble & stress and because I hardly use my mobile I am on pay & go usually £5 a month. My useless calls to you cost me £31 I had to put 2 £20, on my phone. Your system of having everything on line is ok when every thing is working but the system needs sorting out . I believe s should reemburse me at least the cost of the phone calls,I'm not bothered wether youpublish my feed back or not.
