A very well equipped and delightful home from home dwelling in a quiet location of Hunmanby. Kitchen had everything you needed. Downstairs bedroom and bathroom with a walk in shower great for the less mobile. Secure garden for the dogs. There was only 2 of us with the dogs but certainly caters for families.. Only 10 minutes one way to Filey and local beaches which were beautiful and 10 minutes the other way to Bridlington. Overall had a fabulous 2 week stay and would certainly recommend
