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.

Much nicer property than the photos portray. The power shower was immense after a day hiking the cliff tops. Complimentary tea/coffee available. Fabulous location, in walking distance to the village & great for getting out in the car exploring the neighbouring towns. I would stay again & my only hope is eventually the beautiful huge communal garden is made secure for our 4-legged friends & maybe a mop in the property to clean up after those muddy paws. I would definitely recommend a stay here. Thank you to the owners :)

We did find the furniture a little uncomfortable and the Wi-Fi was down a couple of times but was soon rectified.We went to use the toaster and it tripped out the electricity,so we used the grill instead.The bedroom was cosy and warm with a nice comfortable bed and nice hot shower and clean bathroom.We would like to thank the owners for chocolates and coffee pods a nice gesture.Would have gave five stars if we didnât have the above small problems.

.. A cosy cottage for 2 doesn't need a table & bench you'd get in the pub garden, it needs a comfy table and chairs to relax....
