Lovely well equipped and comfortable cottage in a great location for exploring the Yorkshire coast. Rooms were comfy but could get a little chilly as a couple of the windows didn’t shut properly and the windows are single glazing, plus toilet doors don’t close and don’t have locks on so that was a little odd. Other than that it was a great place with a big back garden that would be lovely to sit in, in warmer months.

It’s a lovely holiday cottage, parts of it have been modernised but other bits haven’t, like the upstairs windows & the front door. We found parking on the busy road a problem. The downstairs toilet was a real bonus. Very modern pleasant kitchen. We were disappointed to find a dirty bowl in the cupboard. New oven/baking trays were definitely needed. Shower was good.There was a young family next door & they were noisy, we are getting on & used to peace & quiet. The garden was lovely & the pergola.All in all we really enjoyed our holiday.
