Voebroch, Lythe

On arriving we noted how lovely the area is, beautiful country side. The layout of the house itself is great, a surprise round every corner, beautiful rooms and bathrooms with beautiful views from most. Unfortunately there where a couple of issues with cleanliness like black hair found in some beds, a towel and cotton bud found behind the bed which is on an angle on ground floor. The odd dirty cup and cutlery, All the diffusers and air fresheners where empty. Other than these things everything was lovely. The shared living spaces are well equipped and well furnished a lovely and comfortable. Kitchen in well equipped, could do with a couple of extra touches for cooking ie. Foil, clingfilm, skewers, plastic cups for kids as i was nervous of them using the lovely glasses that are provided, mainly while playing outside, glass drinks jug. But they where just things I found myself needing, luckily a quick drive to whitby helped to get the few things needed, but overall great. We mainly made use of the amazing garden with beautiful sea views, with access to a lovely cliff side walk way. Myself my husband, children, grandchildren and fur babies all had an amazing time making memories, had fun in the games room, and enjoyed all the space this lovely property has to offer, I would definitely love to book again. Overall a bit more attention to detail and the experience has the potential to be 5 thank you for having us

Family holiday with grandchildren, daughter and dogs. Excellent location, six foot high fenced garden made it ideal for the dogs and grandchildren. Great base for walking the dogs, easy access to various dog friendly beaches. Good facilities with everything you require. We may well be back.

Voebroch was the perfect setting for a family break. There was everything we needed in the house from enough pots and pans, crockery, glassware and laundry facilities. The living area is perfect for family get together and four bathrooms meant that we didnt struggle to clean up after beach walks. The setting was the absolute icing on the cake. The view from the garden is perfect and the sunsets made it worth staying home for.

This is the 3rd year running we have stayed in this cottage. We love the location, the view, the quiet village and the 3 downstairs bedrooms with 3 bathroom for our elderly parents to stay in. However this year the cleanliness was not to the usual standard we were expecting. The house was full of flies and we spent all week trying to rid them everyday. The kitchen walls, shelves and potpans all had a layer of grease. The baking trays were dirty and the floor in the main area was dirty and hadnt been hoovered. There was debris under the cooker which hadnt been hooveredswept. There was tiny white ball in the groove on top of the dining table I remember seeing this last year!!! The kick boards were not attached under the kitchen units. My husband had to reattach these to stop our elderly parents from falling over it. The end bedroom bed appeared to not have been changed from the previous guests and looked like it had been turned round and reused. The upstairs bathroom shower has black mould on the grout and the shower overflows onto the floor each time used. On our 1st night one of the dining chairs broke which was being sat on by my 92yr old father in law. Luckily he was wasnt injured from the fall just really shook up. We got in contact with Sykes at this point to report the chairs and flies. We are unsure about returning next year, which is a shame as the cottage really caters to our needs.

A lovely cottage with truly breathtaking views, and plenty of space ideal for a large family. With a bit more attention to detail, this could easily be a fivestar property. Unfortunately, there were several issues on arrival that let the property down, which was particularly disappointing given the price paid. Cleanliness, in particular, was below expectations. The floorespecially under the dining tablewas unclean, with visible crumbs and hair. The upstairs bath had clearly not been cleaned, and the bedroom bin had not been emptied. The downstairs bathroom also requires attention, with a stained toilet seat and a marked wall above the toilet. Additionally, false nails were found under the duvet. We also found a false hairpiece under the couch, along with a significant number of dead flies throughout the property, including on the windowsills. Outside, the grass was extremely overgrown and had clearly not been maintained. We had to purchase a lawn mower ourselves in order to cut it. After doing so, we discovered dog waste that had been left behind by previous guests. The vanity unit above the sink in the downstairs bathroom was also unclean, with visible marks and rings left from bottles. There was a significant issue with flies likely due to the nearby farm which made the kitchen area particularly affected. We ended up purchasing several fly traps ourselves to manage the problem. Additionally, the kitchen could be better equipped, as there were plenty of large plates but no side plates available. The games room is a great addition and offers plenty of entertainment however, it would be much more convenient if there was direct access from inside the house. It also would benefit from a thorough clean. Once we had cleaned the property ourselves and sorted the garden, our stay became much more enjoyable, but this is something that should not have been necessary, especially at this price point. Overall, a beautiful property with great potential, but improvements in cleanliness and maintenance are needed to match expectations.

Really good location with amazing views, we especially loved watching the sunsets from the bottom of the garden. Good house size and set up for a large group of people with en suites in majority of bedrooms. Nice modern furniture and especially loved the non slip kitchen floor for the dogs! Remote location so a car is needed to visit the local areas including pubs and shops. Didnt really use the games room at all because was outside in the garage. If there was an internal door would have used it a lot more. A few minor niggles which would have made us give 5 stars no dishwasher salt or rinse aid we bought our own and filled it up, error on washing machine so didnt use, fire alarms randomly go off because of dust in them, heating system not easy to figure out, some mattresses not the greatest. The sinksdrainage are very slow, kitchen bin could do with an upgrade to be larger with a foot pedal.

Great 4 nights at Voebroch. Beautiful quiet location in a little hamlet but within easy reach of all the key sights along the coast. House has been renovated to a very high standard, decor stylish and modern and plenty of bathrooms. Kitchendiner is an excellent space. Garden backs onto the coastal path with access through a gate. Stunning coastal views. Just a couple of points for maintenance there is a slight musty smell when entering the hallway and in two of the downstairs bedrooms not sure if there's been a leak previously or whether there's another minor issue with the drains at that end of the house. Bed in downstairs double with the en suite could do with an upgrade. The mattress is very soft with little support and the bed base had some slats that had come out of their slots which we rectified but it made little difference they're not very sturdy and one looked split. Fortunately there was only one person sleeping in the bed. Neither of the above issues impacted our enjoyment of the house there were six of us and the universal view was that it was a great house and a location that couldn't be bettered. Just a couple of tweaks and it would be five stars across the board.

We all enjoyed our stay in Voebroch and would recommend it. The views are amazing. However, we would like to make the following observations 1. Not enough towels 2. One of the single beds is extremely wobbly mattress falls to one side. 3. Chair leg on two dining chairs loose and wobbly 4. No ironing board 5. The drain smells in twin bedroom 6. Drawers in the downstairs double bedroom leading onto courtyard broken and the room has an odd smell. 7. Bolt on Side gate to yard isnt secure We hope the above comments are useful.

Great place for a family holiday. Everything we needed and more. The house was clean and comfortable and the garden was great for relaxing and playing. Perfect for exploring the surrounding area.

Thank you for a lovely stay ideal place for our family especially liked the ... Thank you for a lovely stay ideal place for our family especially liked the enclosed garden and the games room One small thing the upstairs bathroom could have benefited from a lock on the door as it was shared by the two upstairs bedrooms Very well equipped property

Great accommodation and location . Only disappointments were the barbecue which was rusty & unusable. In the Garage Games area there were no darts for the dart board & some of the players on the football table were damaged.

I think the gardens should have had the lawns mowed so that dog poo was easier to collect if you hadn't seen the dogs do it there and then x Also a washing line would be have been helpful x Down stair bedroom near living room lots of spiders. Games room fab maybe heat it xx But did love it xx

Had a great stay at the property. Fab location and very well appointed for a group. One slight minus is that the sofa leg front right in the kitchen was broken so we couldn't sit on the sofa. We did email the owner to let them know and didn't expect them to fix it over the New Year but I hope they get it fixed for the next guests as it meant we could only sit on the kitchen chairs in that room. Aside from that, it was a great stay..

A fabulous place to stay, every comfort has been thought of for all guests. Plenty of cooking equipment, Plates, glasses, cutlery etc. lovely comfortable beds and beautiful white bedding. Amazing views. What more can I say. Brilliant

The property is in a lovely location overlooking the sea. It is very spacious and comfortable however we did have a couple of issues. The toilet seat in the wet room was loose and as we had an elderly infirm relative with us she was unable to use it. Fortunately we had able bodied men with us who were able to get the wheelchair down the steps to the other ensuite. We were also advised on arrival that the dishwasher wasnt working. There were 10 of us so we generated a fair amount of washing up and the clean up wasnt quick and easy. Unable to give 5 stars as we paid a lot of money for 2 nights and the facilities advertised werent available.

Could not fault this cottage, the pictures do not do it justice. Simply amazing. Thank you so much for the most amazing stay, we 100 will be back. I have posted the cottage on my social media and people are already asking me where this is so hopefully they will come and stay with you too!!

The property was near perfect for a multi generational celebration of my Mums 90th birthday. One or two minor points. Anti slip mats in the showers would have been useful. Electric whisk and mixing bowls would be useful We had a wonderful time and were very fortunate with the weather. Thank you very much.

What a wonderful stay. The house is even more gorgeous than in the photographs! It was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The owner & his cleaning and maintenance team were fab super responsive and thorough. The added touches like having a complementary welcome pack, nice toiletries, and even charcoal for the BBQ was very much appreciated. The location is absolutely stunning, an incredible view & there was ample parking for our 3 big cars on the driveway. We very much enjoyed our visit and would definitely recommend this property.

Absolutely amazing holiday. The location is perfect, the view from the picnic tables at the end of the garden is beautiful and inspiring. The house itself is lovely and it was a wrench to leave at the end of the week. Will definitely go again.

Excellent property with a lovely garden providing wonderful sea views

For the first two days there was no hot water however after having reported the problem, an engineer did attend and made a temporary repair allowing the heat pump to provide hot water. One of the bathrooms the twin bedroom needs the drain clearing as it appears partially blocked and the extractor fan does not work. The listing could mention that there is a games room in the garage we didn't find out about it till later on in the holiday. Apart from those points, we enjoyed our stay, lovely part of the country.

A lovely house in a fantastic location. We were apprehensive after reading an online review about cleanliness but overall cleanliness was great with the exception of the kitchen floor and washing machine. The house smelt strongly of dogs and we had to keep the doors open, this seemed to be the carpet in the kitchen as it wasn't very clean. This could probably be easily avoided with a mopable kitchen floor. We also cleaned out the washing machine which was dirty inside and had black grime on the inside of the door and sludge in the dispensing door. Just to feedback to the owner as I'm not sure the machine works properly which is why this has built up. Overall we had a lovely stay, the views are amazing and lots of great walks right on the doorstep.

Property had not been cleaned, there was was not enough dining rooms chairs for the number of guests, no hot water Saturday night or Sunday morning. Futon I tire was cheap drawer was broken others didnt open easy, kitchen had two sauce pans for a ten person property. Was promised cleaner would be at property after we complained. We stayed in Friday night and they did not arrive. Appalled with the state of the property and lack of response from the owner and customer care. Put in a complaint two weeks ago and still waiting to hear back. No communication from Sykes. Will not be booking with your company again.
