The Garden Room

Lovely host and it was in a lovely location, perfect for exploring Filey.

A bit of an unusual heating system.

This is a very nice cottage, well kept, a comfortable size, well furnished with a soft bed. The facilities such as pots and pan etc. is excellent. Also, the location is great. We were there for the birding. it was early in the season so windy and chilly. There is a spar store eight to ten minutes' walk away. Despite being on a busy B Road and a level crossing the noise is stifled by the double glazing. It was not at noise level that bothered us or affected our sleep. But it was early in the season and there was no need to open the windows. For those interested in such things my S21 mobile delivered a strong 5g signal. Another positive is that it has excellent views across the countryside. I would imagine the little garden is quite pleasant to enjoy in the summertime. Important to us, was that we needed to change the date. Tracey was incredibly accommodating in this matter.

The parking was difficult. it is a very busy main road, and you really need to reverse on to the drive, as it would be much harder to reverse off. We drove onto the drive and then switched the car around later about 10pm when the is quieter. However, be warned local drivers at that time of night don't seem to drive the road under 90mph. The other thing we struggled with, conceptually, was the electric meter and the need for one-pound coins. Given the energy and cost of living crisis this is fair enough. However, the one-pound coins, we found was more challenging. It was not that couldn't afford the money, but we have not used much in the way of cash for the last two years, and in general the last four. Without a more modern way of topping up the meter we found we were worrying about electric use, in order to not run out of our meagre pound coin supply. Without recent experience of living with a coin meter we made usage more difficult than we needed to. What I can say is even small use of the cooker eats through your electric very quickly. The microwave is the better choice, and we were supplied with an efficient heater. We are from the North so quite hardy. According to the host, for a two day stay you will not use more than £7 worth of electricity. And she does leave enough coins to cover your stay. This was certainly the case for us. However, we were frugal with our usage. Because at that time we did not have the benefit of knowing in advance how fast or slow, the usage would be. My advice is too bring enough coins with you, just in case. And like us you will take them back home with you. Do not assume that these things detracted from the stay, the cottage had more positives than negatives. It is comfortable, bright and sunny and Tracey is an excellent host with excellent communication skills.

it was very clean. Great facilities excellent value for money

We have just spent the weekend and we loved everything about the garden room, we was met there by tracey who was lovely, she showed us around and made sure we was happy before she left. Tracey takes her time to make sure we had everything she even made sure we had tea, coffee, sugar and milk, who dosnt like a cuppa after there journey and tracey left us cakes aswell. Although it is at a rail crossing and on a main road i can honestly say that the trains and traffic didnt bother us at all. We would highly recommend this accommodation thank you tracey for you hospitality x

The annex was very comfortable with everything you need, including parking. The host is very pleasant and accommodating.

Nothing, it was lovely, but other people may not like the noise from the busy main road it's on, that isn't shown in the pic. Parking is onsite but could be an issue if not a confident driver

A cosy little cottage with beautiful scenery! Very comfortable and homely. Host was kind and very easy to contact. Would really recommend and will be staying again!

Nothing to do either the stay it’s self just near a busy road, can be quite load in the evening
