Lovely comfortable quirky cottage with lovely seaview.Fabulous location within 5 mins walking to the glorious Sandsend beach. Cafe & pub also close by. Really enjoyed our weekend stay & hope to return in the future.

The location is hard to beat, comfortable, not blingy which I prefer. Large enough for 6 people, multiple bathrooms and toilets and the kitchen is well provisioned. My only gripe is the mattresses in the 2 smaller bedrooms are not that comfortable.
