Booked a stay for 2 nights for 21st birthday weekend.Didn’t realise the property is on a main road (directly next to Spar shop) with no direct parking outside but in nearby streets. Short walk to the town.Pet friendly and very basic in furniture & equipment. Adequate. Upstairs much better than Downstairs area. Front door has a gap around it and is drafty. Could do with redecoration touch ups around the property & looking a bit shabby in places.It was alright but I wouldn’t go back. We have stayed in many rentals for holidays that had little touches & extras but this property had none. Such as no washing up liquid, kitchen roll, extra blankets etc. Just very basic essentials. Seemed unloved overall. Small front garden area was unkempt with brown leaves. Virtually constant (even through night) loud music (heavy / swearing rap) could be heard from the adjoining property.Requested a later check out by 1 hour. (11am instead of 10am) Took reminders & weeks to get a negative response. Appeared no leeway or flexibility in this at all. The cleaner was in fact on the doorstep 5 minutes before our check out time!

Thank you for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback. I’m glad you found parts of the stay adequate and appreciated the pet-friendly nature of the property, but I’m sorry to hear that the overall experience didn’t meet your expectations. We appreciate your comments regarding the property’s location, furnishings, and amenities — and we understand how the lack of those small touches and nearby noise may have impacted your stay. We're also reviewing the points raised about the cleanliness of the garden area, the draft from the front door, and the need for general redecoration — all helpful observations that will be passed on to our maintenance and guest experience teams. I’m especially sorry for the difficulty you had around the late check-out request and for the lack of flexibility shown. This is something we’ll be looking into to ensure better communication and service going forward. Thank you again for your honest feedback — while we’re sorry you wouldn’t return, your comments are valuable in helping us improve the experience for future guests.

Excellent property in fabulous location.

Had a lovely few days in Windsor Cottage. Property was as described and ideally located next to a convenience store. Just a short walk to the beach and all the amenity that Saltburn has to offer. Highly recommend.

A great location, comfy beds not as clean as I’d like

This is a great property that is located close to the shops and a short walk from the beach - perfect. The best were very comfortable which meant we all slept well. The only improvement would be the cleanliness. When we arrived, I had to clean the fridge as there was dried milk, dirt and stains; the cupboards also needed wiping before we put our food away too. In the current circumstances, we expected a higher level of hygiene and we were therefore slightly disappointed.

Short Break Away

The whole process from booking property to staying was a pleasant experience... Property was spotlessly clean home away from home...

Lovely house

lovely house and only a short walk away from the beach and shops. The property had all the necessary facilities and some extras I didn't expect, we took a lot of our own cleaning equipment, etc but these were already provided. The property is on a main road so traffic noise was a bit of an issue at night. Also, the stairs are quite steep so had to be really careful when carrying our little one down them.

Clean and very nicely finished

The property was small but comfortable and decorated to a high standard. Nice bathroom and comfortable beds. Well stocked Spar supermarket next door was very convenient. Stairs are steep and small treads which need care and no lock on the bathroom door.
