The area is outstanding and so beautiful. The cottage itself is charming, quirky but also very cosy and well equipped. The location is perfect for visiting the many places to visit, we stayed for a few days but wish we could have stayed longer and carried on exploring. As a fellow holiday home owner the only suggestion I would make is adding a pint of milk - we had to wait for our shopping delivery and it would have been lovely to have a cup of tea before it arrived. All in all though. Fabulous place and would love to come back! Thanks.

Just be aware that there is a low beam between two rooms. We liked the chalkboard with recommendations of places to visit, we would add Wiseguys in Bridlington as a place to eat as the food was plentiful and very good. The location of the property was ideal for exploring the nearby towns, cities and coast. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in beautiful North Yorkshire and would definitely return as there is so much to see and do. The owner we found very friendly and helpful.
