Great location, and lovely house. The only fault was our small dog could get through the gaps in the hedges and had to be kept on a lead outside.

High Nook cottage was lovely, great provisions and a beautiful place.Unfortunately the forest fires by where we stayed meant that we could not enjoy the area and had to leave after only two nights. ( Robin Hoods Bay location)We were not warned of these fires which had been burning prior to our arrival. We had children with us so we're very concerned. I reported this to cottages.com and they did respond, however no compensation in any form has been offered, from owners or cottages.com. Yes this was a natural event, and they can quote all the laws at you, but what about good customer service. I shall never book with that company again
