There is some excellent cycling in the area with the Yorkshire Wolds Cycle Route on your doorstep, with its scenic 146-mile tour of the East Riding and North Yorkshire.

The owner is a keen cyclist himself and knows exactly what you need by providing an excellent bike store, along with a repair and wash area and tools and sprays required for servicing the bikes.

The seaside resorts of Scarborough, Bridlington and Filey are just a short drive away with large, open sandy beaches, caves and coves, or for those of you who prefer a quieter resort, Flamborough Head is close by with stunning walks along the clifftops from North to South Landing.

Visit the stately homes and beautiful gardens of Burton Agnes, Castle Howard and Sledmere House, and a children’s zoo and land train at Sewerby Hall. The bustling market towns of Malton, Pickering and Beverley, renowned for its minster and racecourse, are all worth a visit.

The historic city of York is just an hour away with its wide variety of museums including the Railway Museum, Castle Museum and the Jorvik Viking centre. York is very picturesque with cobbled streets surrounding the magnificent minster, along with river boat trips, street entertainers and an abundance of restaurants and real ale inns.

    Puffin Cottage is a lovely little cottage and is very well equipped. The owners had decorated it for the Christmas and New Year period so it felt very festive. There's lots to do in the local area and is close to RSPB Bempton Cliffs and Flamborough Head. Will be back.

    We have had an excellent week in Puffin Cottage over Christmas. Although it was sometimes cold outside we were snug warm and comfortable inside.

    We searched your site for a cottage with an ev charger, and the puffin cottage was advertised as having an ev charger. This property DOES NOT have an ev charger, it has an external socket which you would need a 3pin cable to be able to use.As we particularly wanted accomadation where we could charge our car after exploring this lovely coast we feel that the information was incorrect and is a misrepresentation of the facilities that are advertised as available.The cottage itself is lovely and situated with easy access to the coastal areas nearby, but we would not return and feel unable to give it anexcellent rating that it deserves due to the misrepresentation.We would appreciate your site being updated to the correct information as soon as possible.
