Excellent cottage overall, however just a couple of little gripes! Couldn't work the rads in the sun room as no instructions there or with online help, so unusable, sadly. Local pub shut for refurb too. Can openers wouldn't work either. It would have been nice to have a local map trail including down to the cinder track and Robin Hoods Bay. However, it's a terrific place, well kept and equipped and lovely private garden. Very comfortable king size bed too. Would love to go again.

This is our second stay at High Nook. We love the inside layout so that everyone feels they have space to relax. There is everything you need for your stay particularly in the well equipped kitchen. Off road parking and the large garden a welcome bonus. Well positioned for access the Robin Hoods Bay. We love it!
