Loved our stay at the Snug, it's very clean with a lovely big garden which our Labrador absolutely loved. Lovely welcome gift on arrival of a bottle of wine and assorted biscuits, tea and coffee. The surrounding village is lovely and the location is great for days out to York, Whitby, Scarborough and Filey.Would thoroughly recommend the Snug. 5 Stars
