Kittiwake is a snug two-bedroom cottage tucked away in Flamborough, East Riding of Yorkshire. This cosy retreat sits in a prime spot just 1. 6 miles from the beach and under a mile from local pubs and shops. Perfect for small families or couples wanting a Yorkshire coast escape without the tourist crowds. You'll get all the comforts without the faff.

Flamborough's white cliffs and rugged coastline make for spectacular walks. The famous RSPB Bempton Cliffs are nearby - where you can watch puffins and gannets doing their thing (much like humans watching Netflix, but with more fish). Bridlington is just 4 miles away while Scarborough lies 18 miles down the coast. Fancy a nature day?

Kittiwake Reviews

We enjoyed the stay. The rooms downstairs are pleasantly large. the lawn at the back was good for the 2 dogs we used long leads attached to a metal peg screwed into the ground. The 2nd bedroom is quite small so why is it halffilled with enormous, decorative, useless cushions? The location on the edge of Flamborough is ideal for frequent visits to RSPB Bempton Cliffs wonderful but also for the coop and pubs in the village.
We had a family break including our dog, had a great time, lovely accommodation, had everything you need, comfortable and felt secure If there was any issues it would be that its pet friendly but out the back its not fenced off so the dog couldn't be let off the lead to run around. Also inside the main bedroom and bathroom, for someone like myself who is 6ft the slopeing roof and beams were a problem, obviously it's part of the structure of the roof, but this didn't detract from our break, its very close to everything, short drive to Bridlington, bit further for Scarborough. One thing if your planning on eating in the accommodation most nights take plenty of food and drink as there is no supermarkets nearby. However had a great time, highly recommended.
A really pleasant place to stay very clean and tidy. My only concern was the bathroom floor was very spongy to say the least other than that it was a very peaceful and comfortable place to stay
A lovely cottage which was spotlessly clean. Great to have towels ect to clean dogs as weather was atrocious. Only thing I would suggest that it could have enclosed garden which would be good in the summer as you could leave door open for dogs
Home from home, everything inside was absolutely perfect. A very high standard. The shared garden with the other connecting cottages are Beautiful, but boundaries are unsafe for dogs
ie-ann
Absolutely lovely stay. Really nice clean and spacious. Would definitely go back.
We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return. The cottage really was a home from home, it had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The thoughtful basket of dog supplies and selection of teas and coffees were also a nice touch and very appreciated. All in all the cottage was perfect
Rebecca
Perfect for us and the dogs a few issues with the WiFi but otherwise no issues.
Philip
The holiday cottage was nice and clean but attention needed to some aspects Coffe Machine not working properly and leaked badly Fridge freezer badly needs defrosting, drawers in freezer difficult to open due to build up of ice Bathroom door did not lock Would not recommend Sykes Cottages due to inaccuracy of listing ie enclosed garden, also very difficult to speak to anyone and didnt respond to emails. Only made verbal contact when the owner of the cottage got involved
The beds were comfortable The location is ideal for us We felt at home in this spacious property We liked the welcome pack for our dog and the drinksbiscuits for us We liked the night lights in the property The only downside were the settees They were too low and not comfortable for us and no enclosed area for our dog Lovely place though. ...we will be back again
Firstly, the main complaint we had was the no secure garden for our 3 dogs. The cottage next to us did have a fenced off garden. We were informed by the maintainer that all the cottages are being given Fenced off gardens gradually as we were not the only people to complain. The electric oven didn't work, so we had a new one two days before leaving. So prior to that we were using the microwave or going to the local pub, that was brilliant food. There was no vacuum, broommop in the cottage so it was difficult to keep the floor clean . We don't like to leave any property with mess. My husband did get a vacuum from the laundry room wasn't sure if that was correct.The area wasn't ideal for dogs, we only found one good beech for them to have a good run around.
Richard
The only reason I scored a nine for comfort was that I did bump my head a couple of times upstairs on the low beams. I am six foot tall so this maybe more of a problem to someone taller.
We all enjoyed our stay at Kittiwake. Everything that we needed for our stay was provided for even the dog was provided for. The location was perfect with parking straight outside the front
