This is the third time we have stayed at High Nook and it doesn’t disappoint. It’s a warm, cosy, well-appointed house. It’s nicely located in fylingthorpe village which is only a 15 minute walk from Robin Hood’s Bay and a 15 minute drive to Whitby. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped, and there is a handy utility area to keep muddy walking gear away from the rest of the house. The garden is large and if you’re lucky you might spot a couple of bunnies that live there. We would highly recommend this cottage.

A beautiful holiday cottage, great views and perfect for a family with young children. Large fenced garden overlooking Ravenscar and the sea, and children’s park 2mins away. Room for off road parking. Great wood burning stove, large kitchen and sun room. Downstairs shower room and toilet. Would have been useful to mention there are 11 steps down and up from the main bedroom to the bathroom quite a feat in the middle of the night.
