The Secret Garden is a beautiful, very clean and well-maintained cottage with a lovely garden space - most unexpected on that side of Whitby! The welcome pack was lovely, and I’ll definitely bring my dog next time as it’s clear the owners are big dog lovers and had thought of everything. The main bedroom in particular is beautiful and I loved the velux windows. The kitchen and bathroom have everything you need, but perhaps don’t choose this cottage if you don’t like stairs, as it’s a long way to go up and down to the loo at night! Other than that, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it and look forward go visiting again.
