Well placed outside the hustle and bustle of Whitby but only a short car ride away or a bit longer walk along the cinder track. The Windmill pub serves excellent food a 2 minute stroll away. Will certainly consider for a longer stay next time.

Great meals at the windmill inn, Sainsbury's, Aldi and Bothams a ten minute walk.

It is well presented, clean & comfortable. It's location makes both the coast & Moors easily accessible plus the Cinder Path is close by. A supermarket & petrol station are both minutes away by car. I appreciated the "hospitality tray" & milk on arrival. It's always good to have a cup of tea before unpacking. I would happily stay at Fuchsia Cottage again.
