Guillemot Reviews

Anthony
Excellent stay! We really loved the area and the accommodation
Excellent stay once again 4th time. Its a real home from home everything you need for a lovely break, clean and comfortable with lovely safe area at the back of each unit for dogs. Special thanks to Adam for sorting the shower promptly. Will be back next year for a longer break.
We enjoyed a short 3 night stay at this cottage. It has everything you need for a holiday with a good garden for the dog. Some lovely walks direct from the cottage and a few nice pubs only a short walk away as well.
Rachel
A great location, peaceful with lots of birdsong. We enjoyed having breakfast in the garden. Very comfortable bed, sofa not so much, but we were busy enjoying the cliff walks most of the time! We liked being able to walk to the cliffs along footpaths from the cottage takes about 30 minutes, and also into Flamborough less than 15 minutes.
Stephen
Absolutely stunning little cottage just as advertised, Very good service throughout the stay , if you're looking for a nice tranquil place then this is the one, dog owners will love it fantastic working routes all the way to the coast, we loved it so much we booked again while we were there. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.
Andrew
A great location, and great accommodation. Definitely thinking of another holiday here!
Lovely cottage in a nice location , however the stay was marred by an issue with the heating and WiFi . .twice we had to wait in the cold for someone to come and assist in getting the heating back on in fairness they did turn up pretty quickly . A further incident occurred , with the heating , on the Wednesday morning. By that time we had become fed up of having to ring to get someone out so we decided to return home a day early
Good holiday cottage,plenty of information in the cottage for those who do not know the area,very quiet and relaxing.
Claire
We loved our stay in Guillemot cottage in Flamborough. We brought our two golden retrievers and our cockapoo. It was so lovely to be able to take our three dogs away and stay in such a great property. The cottage itself was really clean and pleasant. The outside area available was perfect for our dogs and parking was good too. To top at all, Flamborough and nearby Filey, Bridlington and Scarborough had dog friendly beaches. So our dogs enjoyed themselves too.
Short stay in cottage was very nice, well equiped and in an excellent location. We would stay again for sure
Steven
Perfect little cottage for two with everything provided. Even a Bluetooth speaker. Four poster bed and the back garden area was great. BBQ and seating provided. If you are visiting Bempton Cliffs there is a footpath straight out the back of the property that leads directly to the cliff path. Just 5 km to the RSPB reserve. A pre visit phone call to check everything was ok and asking about any special requirements was very much appreciated. Really enjoyed this stay and intent to return.
Angela
This is one of the most beautiful holiday lets we have stayed in. We literally had everything and more that we could need. It was like home from home. Above and beyond for our little dog Bob. We absolutely loved everything about it and will definitely be back. We couldnt fault one thing about it. Thank you so much for a truly wonderful stay. We really didnt want to come home. Very very highly recommend.
Lovely stay would definitely come back for a holiday. Great for the dogs and very well kept. Could not be happier with our experience.
Moises
Great facilities, nice welcome pack with tea etc. surpassed all expectations!
Stephen
Excellent place for a quiet and peaceful retreat. Beautiful cottage with many extras supplied for you. Tea, coffee, sugar, kitchen roll. All the little things you forget to pack. They had it covered. Many thanks. Yes we will be returning.
For me this was a cottage of two halves, the location was good, the area was quiet and the cottage was comfortable. However I fou d the cleanliness and overall appearance of the inside was not what I expected on sitting at the dining table we noticed a bog scratch a roos the top of it, you could say general wear and tear but not good, the flooring in the main kitchen, living area was lifted in placed thus causing a trip hazard for my husband who has balance problems and the walls in various places had marks on them. We were left instructions not to stop the bed which is fine and to leave any towels we had not used to one side to help the cleaners with the environment, does this mean they were to be left out for the next people? I would have touched them so hope that is not the case. Overall the cleanliness for me left a lot to be desired for the money paid.
Although the cleanliness looked ok on arrival after settling in we could see lots of cobwebs that had obviously been there a long time, they were clinging to wall in rooms and especially bad in the beams in the bathroom. The bathroom floor looks vey dirty but is actually ground in dirt from past use so could do with a deep clean or replacing. The property could do with some manuals especially for the heating.
Robert
We were very happy with the standard of the accommodation. It is located in a nice, quiet countryside location and is only a 10 minute walk from Flamborough town centre with local shops. It is an ideal location if you enjoy coastal walking. Will certainly visit the area again and stay in the same place.
Angela
The Cottage was lovely, very clean and spacious. The area was quiet and very peaceful. We only struggled with the heating, we noticed it was on and not sure at first how to turn off but my Partner worked it out. Our little doggie was comfortable too and the garden area was big enough for a morning walk for him, you just need to ensure to keep on a leash as it is not enclosed but so many places beaches to go to for walks. We would definitely return to the cottage.
Superb cottage in an excellent quiet location
Alison
Lovely cottage in a lovely setting. It would have been helpful for my planning if it had been specified that there was a fridge freezer and I think it would be useful to future visitors to specify there is a smart TV
I absolutely loved the cottage, it had everything I needed and more. Tilly loved the garden and I loved the peace and quite. I wish we could have stayed there longer. I did forget to take out the bin, sorry. Will definitely book again. Thank you. Sarah and Tilly. Xx
