About this property
This splendid, chocolate-box cottage sits within the pretty village of Flamborough, perched on a picturesque peninsula on the East Coast of Yorkshire. A wonderful retreat for a couple or small family, Castaways is a wonderful place to call home while exploring the natural splendour and attractions of East Yorkshire. After a day of rambling, look forward to unwinding in the open-plan living space, settling down upon sofa as the electric fire gently warms you, with a flat-screen TV for entertainment. Set the dining table with crockery and cutlery while the chef of the group gets to work in the kitchen, offering plenty of amenities to encourage home-cooking.
Climb the stairs to reach the upstairs, offering a double and a bunk bedroom, presented in light tones with ample storage. Completing the interior of Castaways is the refreshing shower room where you can wake yourself up with a brisk rinse. If you fancy a night away from the kitchen, there are plenty of fabulous places to eat and drink in Flamborough, ranging from quirky cafés, tasty takeaways, cosy pubs and excellent restaurants, you are sure to find something for all tastes and wallets! Be sure to visit the beautiful Flamborough Head and discover the iconic white cliffs that tower over Flamborough’s beaches – home to over 200,000 seabirds, including gannets, kittiwakes, guillemots and puffins, making it a real haven for any keen birdwatchers.
Pop on your walking boots and enjoy a pleasant woodland walk to the beach at Danes Dyke and admire the wild deer, owls and kestrels often seen on the way. When the weathers in your favour, pack up a seaside bag and head to either the beaches of either North or South Landing, uncovering caves and rock pools and if you are lucky, catch a glimpse of seal or a peregrine falcon! With all this, plus the coastal town of Bridlington within your vicinity, there’s plenty to look forward to while staying at Castaways.
Flamborough is a wonderful village found on the scenic peninsula of the East Coast of Yorkshire, four miles from Bridlington. The village is home to a collection of fishermen’s cottages and a small selection of welcoming pubs and restaurants, making it a great spot for the rambler, historian and birdwatcher. Within the surrounding area there are many local attractions, including South Landing, the smugglers’ caves at North Landing and Flamborough Head, a wonderfully scenic spot.
