Had a great time. Accommodation had everything you could want. It’s more suited for a couples getaway. Wood fired hot tub was fantastic. Kept water hot all day. The local pub is a drive away but you could get a taxi or just order delivery fromjust Eat. Perfect for visiting nearby Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay and much more.

Beautiful cottage and garden with hot tub. Every amenity could want or need in the cottage. Felt like home. Cafe next door if fancy breakfast. Excellent location with York just 15 minutes away and large retail park 5 mins away. Recommend.
