perfect little hideaway for a couple ( & their little cocker spaniel). compact little cottage that didn't feel small. the upstairs lounge was great. used the swimming pool - fantastic added bonus despite us realising 28 isn't as warm as we thought it was beautiful gardens with BBQ and patio seating - didn't get chance to use as it's October lol ideal location between Scarborough and Whitby.

Lovely place to stay. Very quiet and great views. Very friendly hosts and lovely people around us. Very clean and had everything you needed for your stay. The cottage was dog friendly but you wouldn't of known a dog had been in . Would definitely recommend and will certainly go back . Great value for money. The heated pool room was lovely.
