The Old Police House Reviews

Rebecca
We had a lovely time, this house has everything you need and much more. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch too. Perfect for all ages, we had a family get together and the games room was great for the kids and when they went to bed the big kids played. The hot tub was lovely and warm perfect for some chill time. Thank you for a great time.
Amanda
1. Needs more storage in bedrooms 2. Chalkboard in games room 3. Toilet bins 4. More outside green bins for both properties 5. Needs better cleaning as we found food under sofa, freezer, down sides of beds and bathroom floors still dirty. 6. Nowhere to plug in freezer because wire wasn't big enough to plug into wall. Was nicely decorated and location was good.
Lovely property nice quite area 5 mins walk to beach & town , 2 faults mattresses need changing, and replace bath for another shower ,with 9 people the waiting time for shower was long with 4 young ladies lol. Bath not really big enough .besides that would come back again would recommend to friends with big families.
Denise
A lovely week away meeting up with family. Hot tub, games room and pool table were a big hit with the kids and big kids. A couple of small issues when we arrived but quickly rectified by the owner Charles. Withernsea had lots to offer, we had beautiful weather so made the most of the beach and beer gardens. We were lucky enough to be there when there was a festival and a classic car show. East park in Hull is well worth a visit

Thanks for letting us share your lovely home we absolutely loved our stay ... Thanks for letting us share your lovely home we absolutely loved our stay everything was perfect the hot tub the pool table the selection of toys which we added to hungry hippo
Highly recommend this property! My family booked this property as an alternative to the usual holiday campsites that would entertain the younger children and older children age range 2 yrs 15 yrs and so glad we did. This house provides so much from board games, pool table, retro arcade games adults loved! to the jacuzzi, plus so much more. On arrival we was treated with essentials, breakfast cereals, snacks, tea, coffee, wine and beer amazing! The kitchen is well equipped with everything. Every room was furnished to a high standard and we loved all the little touches, including the welcome book with local recommendations which we used. Wifi was great, the garage was spacious and could park my car very comfortably Land Rover. Our only recommendation the jacuzzi jets need maintenance as only one side is powerful so means the rest are just low, but still was enjoyable and didnt feel the need to contact the owners. Couple of minutes walk up the sea front and local shops. Great stay making memories, will 100 book again!

Stayed over for a long weekend. First thing we noticed was that this place definitely had the wow factor! The place has a huge open plan kitchen and living room which was perfect for socialising with all the guests! Every bedroom was beautifully presented, there were Nespresso pods for the machine, and everything was sparkling clean. The hot tub was brilliant, we absolutely loved it! The pool room which also came with an N64, and an arcade machine was fantastic! Nothing was half broken or worn out, you can tell the owner really takes pride in the presentation of the house. Speaking of the owner, they were extremely accommodating with us and helped us out when we had a couple of issues not to do with the house. Were already planning on returning! Thank you for making our stay memorable!

Amazing house ,we have enjoyed a weekend full of fun and laughter . The house had everything you could need ,will definitely try and return .
Property is in a great location, 5mins to the beach with Aldi, pubs and arcades very close by on foot. We arrived very late but access was absolutely straight forward and house was warm. We had some queries, although late, Charlie went out of his way to help, he was extremely helpful and made our stay a lot easier. The house has absolutely everything you need, all clean and tidy. Lots of things for kids to do, games room and hot tub was excellent. We will definitely book again.
This house is beautiful inside. It's spacious, well presented and it was warm throughout our stay November 2023 with hot water all day and night. There was everything we might have needed, even a stair gate for our little ones. There is a garage for one car but the on street parking isnt great. The road is extremely tight so if you are staying with multiple families like the house suggests sleeps 12 then good luck finding a parking space not the fault of the owners at all. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay here at the Old Police House but there were a few things that we feel needs mentioning. Firstly, 1 shower for potentially 12 people is not enough. The little ones loved the small quirky bath, and it is tiny, but we thought it needed a shower over it to help cut the adult shower wait time down. Secondly, we had to wash all of the glasses and cutlery as a lot were dirty on arrival. It wasn't just dishwasher remnants, it was greasy finger prints and something sticky was on some of the glasses. Easily sorted but not something you expect. I had to throw one glass away as it was chipped in the cupboard. The cutlery drawer had fluff, hair and crumbs in it so we needed to wash that too. And lastly, the bed we slept in had bedding that smelled very fusty. All these things are easily fixable and were probably isolated to our stay. Thankfully we're all clean people who sorted the issues we could straight away. All in all, it's a gorgeous place, right in the middle of a little seaside resort so don't let these small problems put you off. We had the best time in the end.
The property was lovely, and fantastic bonus of games room which kept kids entertained, for the week. Great location only minutes walk to the shops and beach. A bit snug for 12 people, as sofa bed in upstairs lounge not comfortable and anyone needing the toilet has to walk past you. The parking is a real issue, we should have had access to the garages but no keys were left, so unable to park a car there! We had to park all cars on the street, and they remained there all week as, soon as a car pulled off there were three cars waiting for the space.
Lovely property in walking distance of all the towns facilities. Welcome basket was full of holiday goodies,there was something for everyone.Dogs had great fun on the beach,walks on the old railway track and the lighthouse nearby too.Hot tub needs a service only one set of jets worked properly.
A really lovely cottage, ideal for a big family like ours. Homely touches making it cosy. Very versatile. Responsive and helpful owner. Upstairs bedrooms v small with no windows that got very warm, but okay for a short period of time.

The Jungle Zoo - NR31 9EY
about 12 Miles
Centred around a Tropical House in an amazing jungle like setting this is a really unique attraction that will appeal to families.  In the Cleethorpes area of Lincolnshire it's easy to get to and offers a fun yet educational experience.  Referred to as the number one attraction in the area highlights include capuchin monkeys, meerkats, ring tailed lemur and for the children African pygmy goats.  The tropical house features Red Eared and other Terrapins from North America and goldfish amongst other things.  We think The Jungle Zoo represents excellent value for money too.  We recommend a whole day to explore this attraction and ensure you get to see all of the animals resident there.
Pleasure Island - DN35 0PL

Wow this is an amazing family theme park and you will probably need the full day to experience it all.  From thrilling rides to family shows, kids of all ages are catered for.  Some of the most popular rides include the Obliterator and The Pendulus, not forgetting the Hypoblaster.   Family shows are entertaining such as the African Acrobat Show which is back by popular demand.  Entrance tickets are good value and if you book online you will receive a discount.

Rushmoor Country Park - GU10 1ET
about 23 Miles
Located in Louth in Lincolnshire this is an ideal attraction when you want to get out in the fresh air and explore. There are many animals to see including ponies and piglets which the little ones love.  There are also some amazing birds from hawks and falcons to owls.  Most aspects of this attraction are included in the admission cost and as well as wandering around you get to hold and feed the animals too.  A real highlight are the micro pigs which are just like real pigs but in miniature.  Fully grown they are around the size of a spaniel!  If you get hungry then you can take your own picnic to the picnic areas or head for the tea room selling delicious food and children's meals too.
