Lovely home from home
We enjoyed a relaxing last minute 4 night break at Ocean Retreat. The property was as described and worked very well for a multi generational family. Plenty of space to socialise and eat together with nice outdoor space too.
Excellent service from Anchor Bay from booking to promptly sorting the odd little problems that arose.

Ocean Retreat
Great space for our family holiday with Great Grandma and two small kids. Ideal with bedroom downstairs. Good location with easy access to Scarborough or Bridlington.
Short walk down onto beach.

Weekend away with te granchildren
The property was better than expected and the photos do not do it justice . Absolutely fabulous house with so much space and everything you need for break . Spotlessly clean yet family friendly. Regular communication from the owner kept us up to date. Overall excellent in every aspect.

Beautiful house
The house is absolutely beautiful we had a lovely stay adult time away although it would also be ideal for families with children as long as they respect the property as it’s truly amazing slight issue with the cleaning as other customers left empty crisp packets and nuts under the bed. Didn’t report it as I’m sure it would have been rectified straight away didn’t stop us from having a relaxing holiday can’t wait to return again

Great family break
From youngest (7 months) to oldest … we all loved this property. Complete envy over master bedroom. There was everything we needed and more. Tiny hiccups sorted within hours of arrival. Will definitely be back.
We used all the on site facilities, the arcade was ok and quiet enough for youngest, although several machines didn’t work. Sorry the cafe was not open at all, as that would have been a bonus during our rainy week.

Great end to the Christmas holidays
We are regulars to the Bay and have stayed in several of the large properties now. First time at Ocean Retreat and what a fabulous house. Ocean retreat has everything you need! Plenty of space, very tastefully decorated and the Christmas decorations were a lovely touch. It has very comfortable beds, kitchen is very well stocked with plenty of crockery etc (heads up no colander though). House is in a nice quiet spot, I have knocked 1 star off for location as personally prefer to be at the other end closer to the beach, but it certainly wouldn't put me off returning. The only minor criticism I can give is that the house was quite dark. There are very few ceiling lights and the wall switches control the table lamps of which there are a lot. It wouldn't be a problem in summer but during winter when its dark early, some parts of the house were quite dark. We had a wonderful stay over New Years and even managed to catch sight of the Northern Lights, was a lovely end to the Christmas holidays. I would definitely like to return!! Booking through Anchor Bay and communications were fabulous as always.

Another amazing weekend of quality time spent with my wonderful family.
Enough space to all be together, but not all squashed in.
Beautifully decorated property with everything we could possibly want or need.

My 94 year old mother, my sister's and I had a wonderful time. The space is incredible and the downstairs ensuite was perfect. We had amazing weather in November, too

Lovely home from home
Absolutely lovely home and decorated well. Plenty of options for seating in the lounge, either for everyone to gather together or separate chairs for a quiet read. Loved the games cupboard, plenty of options for an evenings entertainment. The kitchen is large and has everything you need to make anything from a cuppa or to cook a full Sunday roast. The beds were all comfortable and the bathrooms well appointed. It was great to sit on the outdoor furniture with a glass of wine in the evening. All 3 generations of our party had a great time.

Cleanliness Disappointing
The property is beautiful. However, it clearly had not been cleaned before we arrived. There was jam on the counter, corks under the kitchen table, crisp packets and nuts under beds, lollipop sticks and papers in drawers, plates in the cupboards still greasy and soiled. Outdoor cushions had been left out so when we arrived they were sodden so we could not use them all week, despite our best efforts to dry them.
No welcome hamper despite comments book advising they had been provided previously (we asked the cleaning manager and he said they had none left).
Feedback provided to cleaners since I returned home but no acknowledgment received.
Very disappointing because otherwise this is a beautiful house and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.
