A really beautiful cottage in a gorgeous setting. We had a lovely relaxing family break, we hope to return again soon!

I'm almost reluctant to post this as I wan't to keep this to myself!This cottage is a 'gem', a fabulous location and for those who simply are looking for peace and quiet and a hugely comfortable place to say, it ticks every box. Superbly clean, warm and comfortable. The cottage has everything you need, the location enables you to explore the area, walk along the coast paths, and also on the doorstep of Whitby town. Can not fault it in any shape or form. We enjoyed a lovely relaxing week, 5 stars from me!

The cottage was immaculate and quite remote which suited us fine, it’s in a good spot to be able to explore the north moors and surrounding towns. Smart tv was a bonus and the wi-fi was excellent.Would stay again and would definitely recommend it.
