Nine of us stayed in Garden Cottage for a week over the early May bank holiday. The facilities are excellent and there is everything you need for a relaxing holiday. I am disabled and the room we were in had an en-suite wetroom with handrails for the toilet and shower and a solid fixed shower seat. There were two electric beds and emergency pull cords if needed. All the other rooms have en-suite facilities with three on the ground floor and two upstairs. The kitchen had all the equipment needed to prepare our meals. The cottage is very spacious an none of us felt on top of each other. The cottage is in a lovely quiet spot with ample parking for five or six cars. We hired a hot tub which we made full use of and enjoyed by all. It was within easy reach of Bridlington and all the resorts along the east yorkshire coast. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone wanting a quiet relaxing break away from it all.
