Sawcliffe Farm

I have stayed here 4 times for work trips and I love it. The last time I decided to invite my wife to come with me to share it. The house is beautiful, the staff are warm and friendly, the food baskets are really delicious (I had a really nice evening meal using an AGAR for the first time). The family make you feel like youre at home - even the cat. I also tried the spa 2 times which I recommend. I will be back on my next trip!

Please DO NOT stay here! It's a scam! Its a new business on booking dot com , I have used booking dot com for accommodation for years, i'm genius level 3 with hundreds of stays and now receive 30% discount on stays, I have never had any issue with any booking until this place! I don't even know where to start ! The address they list on booking IS NOT the property address, once you have booked and paid ( non refundable) they send you small print with a different address, this "cottage" a semi detached house with a neighbour with 2 vans and cars making parking difficult at best overlooks scunthorpe steal works and an industrial park, right on a main road with cars constantly flying past at dangerous speeds so if you have toddlers PLEASE do not stay here thinking it is a country cottage because it absolutely is not! the shower was broken, dirty wellies on the porch to greet us , the log fire doesn't work. The advert claimed the property came with a private spa, until you book and pay! once you've paid they send you a long email and confirm that if you want to use the "private spa" its an extra 250 minimum. The heating doesn't work, as per other reviews, I have a 2 month old baby it was utterly impossible to heat the semi detached house with neighbours up. They don't provide towels - they provide rags in the bathroom to dry yourself with. Cleaning products - The only options available were home made , they smelt nice in all fairness but I question whether they have gone through proper safety tests because I used the hair shampoo whilst holding the shower head because it wouldn't attach to the pole and my eyes are still burning now! They demand a 150 deposit ( AFTER YOU HAVE BOOKED AND PAID) if you don't pay the deposit then you cant get the keys . I was visiting my grandma , since i was travelling 4 hours to get to her I just needed a place to stay for the evening instead of travelling home the same day. I paid the deposit, went to my grandmas , dropped my bags back at the property and got changed at 5pm then went back to my grandmas house until 10pm . I came back at 10pm and fell to sleep on the sofa because the heating wouldn't work , I managed to burn the logs on the log fire so it was the only room where we were not freezing cold . Unfortunately my clothes must have had dog hair on them , i'd spent the day at my grandmas house playing with the dogs, some of their hair no doubt ended up on the sofa and floor , so they have taken 30 from my security deposit for having pets at the property, and a further 35 to hoover the pet hair. Now there is a policy which says you must clean the property yourself prior to checkout, I read the policy and I cleaned the kitchen, washed the pots, I even made the beds prior to leaving. I absolutely would have hoovered too but the property doesn't provide a hoover. Also, their pet policy isn't 30.00 to have pets, its 65.00 if your pet has hair, 30 to bring your pet with hair and 35.00 to hoover any hair after you leave, I didnt bring a pet so I assume the 35.00 hoovering fee is just the fee to hoover anything? I tried to deal with the owners directly but got nowhere, I eventually said I was going to leave my feedback online, at which point they told me they had copies of my passport and were going to call the police if I left a negative review for them and give the police my passport! This worried and scared me but I am posting this review anyway to warn others which I now consider a civic duty. FYI - when booking you are APPARENTLY directed to a third party company to provide ID information, this would appear not to be the case because the owners have messaged me telling me they have a copy of my passport and will use it if I leave a negative review. This is a very new company to booking dot com and I expect they will be removed from the platform rather quickly based on my experience and others. Avoid this place!

Lovely cosy room! I was worried that it might be cold judging by the other reviews, but my room was toasty and the heating was on all night. I really enjoyed my breakfast basket in the old farmhouse kitchen - it felt really homey and the food was generous/great quality. The spa experience was the best part of my stay - I loved the milk hot tub (I wasn't sure about this when booking) and I even bought some of the creams and herbal teas to take home with me. Next time I'm in the area, I'll be back, I definitely recommend to other guests.

I found Sawcliffe manor while working in Scunthorpe and for 3 months stayed in the manor where the rooms were fantastic. Also stayed in Hare and plum cottages which also were great. Clean, well equipped and cosy on a winters night. Em, Emily and the family were only to please to help. I would definitely stay at any of the rooms or cottages again and would highly recommend
