The coastal village of Robin Hood's Bay is situated between Scarborough and Whitby on the Yorkshire coastline. It has narrow cobbled streets and charming fisherman's cottages all intertwined with the alleyways and fitted into the nooks and crannies of the village. The backdrop to this fishing village is stunning with dramatic cliffs and moorland scenery at the edge of a wide sweeping bay. The beach and cliffs offer some tremendous walks, and various footpaths and trails pass through the area, the Lyke Wake Walk and the Cleveland Way being two of the most popular. The amenities in the village are excellent, and there are attractions for all interests and ages. Robin Hood's Bay is a superb base for an enjoyable holiday in this fabulous area.

Close to the Cinder Track and the Coastal path. There is a handy bus service passing through in case you prefer to leave the car parked up. It is a real home from home with good kitchen equipment for those self catering. We loved it.

Having parking for two cars was a real bonus. The house is spotlessly clean, beds comfortable and it is well equipped to be able to cook. There is a dishwasher which isnât mentioned in the house details. We loved having the deck to sit out on with great views and friendly neighbours.
