The pretty village of Flamborough occupies a superb setting, perched on a picturesque peninsula on the East Coast of Yorkshire, 4 miles from Bridlington. Housing traditional fishermen's cottages and a small selection of welcoming pubs and restaurants, Flamborough also has much to offer the rambler, historian and birdwatcher. There are spectacular cliffs, which form an eight mile stretch of Heritage coastline, and at Flamborough Head, stand two historic lighthouses, one of which is the oldest one in Britain, built in 1674. To the north of the village, the magnificent 400 feet high cliffs are home to one of the largest colonies of nesting sea birds in England. Discover the puffins at Bempton, follow the fascinating natural trails at South Landing and the wooded ravine at Danes Dyke, or explore the smugglers’ caves at North Landing. Enjoy a spot of fishing or a boat trip to explore the sea caves. Flamborough Head is a wonderful place for anyone who enjoys beautiful coastal scenery and bracing sea air.

However I fou d the cleanliness and overall appearance of the inside was not what I expected on sitting at the dining table we noticed a bog scratch a roos the top of it, you could say general wear and tear but not good, the flooring in the main kitchen, living area was lifted in placed thus causing a trip hazard for my husband who has balance problems and the walls in various places had marks on them. We were left instructions not to stop the bed which is fine and to leave any towels we had not used to one side to help the cleaners with the environment, does this mean they were to be left out for the next people? I would have touched them so hope that is not the case. Overall the cleanliness for me left a lot to be desired for the money paid.

The bathroom floor looks vey dirty but is actually ground in dirt from past use so could do with a deep clean or replacing. The property could do with some manuals especially for the heating.
