We were looking for a relaxing and peaceful week away and it was bliss . Lots of lovely birds to see. Just listening to them singing was perfect. Colin met us just after we arrived and welcomed us . He is just great . We went to Whitby ,Robins hood bay and Bempton cliffs. Supermarket was about 6 miles away so not too far . Would definitely book again . The book shelves are full of great books if you like to read .

A lovely cottage in a quiet peaceful location-just what I needed! The cottage is beautiful-overlooking a pond (actually, literally "in the pond") and is comfortable and spacious with everything you could need. Colin the owner is fantastic-there and happy to help if you need him, but will leave you alone if you don't. Quiet and peaceful location but within easy reach of all the bigger seaside towns on the East Coast-Withernsea, Hornsea, Bridlington, Filey, Scarborough and Whitby as well as lots of lesser known quieter towns and villages either on the coast or inland. Just home from a lovely relaxing holiday (weather not great but the cottage is so warm and comfortable I wasn't bothered at all) and hope to return again before too long.
