Thank you for our wonderful few days in your lovely, cosy cottage. Here for a 50th birthday celebration this time but would love to come again.

We had an all too short long weekend at Holmlea and really enjoyed the cottage and Robin Hoods Bay. 60 steps up and down 2 or 3 times a day is really good for your legs. Next time we come to Robin Hoods Bay will be sure to stay at this lovely property.

We loved this property, perfect for a three generation family holiday. Very steep stairs, fine for us but not for the very young or very old! Well equipped and beautifully clean on arrival. The location was great too, half way up the steep hill in one of the narrow streets. Lots to explore and within easy reach of the beach, which is perfect for rock polling and fossil hunting. Would not hesitate to recommend this quaint little cottage.
