Yorkshire Coast Self Catering cottage, Carr Cottage, Bridlington, sleeps 6

COTTAGE NOT GREAT!
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!

Wonderful setting
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!!!

Very roomy, but in dire need of renovation & update
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 but cottage in desperate need of renovation/updating
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.
