It had everything we needed to make our stay ideal. Kaye and Alex were the perfect hostes and when we had the snow storm on the Saturday and we got snowed in they checked up on us to make sure we were ok and also checked to see if the boiler was working properly. Alex even got the local farmer to clear the snow from the property so we could head home at the end of our stay. The property is only a short drive to Whitby and local shops and it had lovely night sky views which we found perfect sitting on the patio with a drink in hand.
