Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the cottage to be clean and tidy, with fresh flowers and a welcoming atmosphere. One mention of the kitchen not being very clean on arrival was quickly addressed by the owner, indicating responsiveness to cleanliness concerns.
The location is highly praised for its beautiful views and proximity to Robin Hood's Bay, local pubs, and walking paths. The convenience of on-site parking is frequently mentioned as a significant advantage.
Guests describe the cottage as comfortable, cosy, and spacious, with a well-maintained garden and decking area. However, there were a few comments about a firm mattress and heating arrangements, suggesting room for improvement in this category.
Facilities are generally well-received, with the cottage being well-equipped and offering games, books, and a new kitchen with a dishwasher. Some guests noted minor maintenance issues like a toilet flush needing repair and suggestions for additional showers and upgrades.
While the reviews reflect a positive experience, there is no specific mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the owner, aside from fresh flowers and a welcome pack of biscuits. Therefore, it is not possible to score this category accurately.
About this property
Lovingly refurbished, Heather Croft is a superb detached red brick property overlooking Robin Hood's Bay and within a 10 minute walk of the beach and harbour. The immaculate living accommodation is open plan giving the property a light and airy feel, whilst the full oil central heating ensures that the cottage is warm and welcoming in all seasons. A particular feature are the French doors from both kitchen and sitting room which lead onto a balcony/decking area with lovely views over open countryside to the coast beyond. The perfect place for a relaxing holiday on the Yorkshire Coast - a delightful property in a superb location!
The coastal village of Robin Hood's Bay is situated between Scarborough and Whitby on the Yorkshire coastline. It has narrow cobbled streets and charming fisherman's cottages all intertwined with the alleyways and fitted into the nooks and crannies of the village. The backdrop to this fishing village is stunning with dramatic cliffs and moorland scenery at the edge of a wide sweeping bay. The beach and cliffs offer some tremendous walks, and various footpaths and trails pass through the area, the Lyke Wake Walk and the Cleveland Way being two of the most popular. The amenities in the village are excellent, and there are attractions for all interests and ages. Robin Hood's Bay is a superb base for an enjoyable holiday in this fabulous area.

The location is perfect, within walking distance of Robin Hoods Bay and there are loads of walks from your doorstep. It's a peaceful sanctuary and perfect holiday 'home from home'. It's great that it's got its own parking too, unlike the cottages down in the Bay, & nice decking to have a meal, while admiring the view ! Thank you Karen for another fabulous stay

Very clean, comfy furnishings. Cooking facilities were great with new pans. The views were fantastic across the bay. Very close to all amenities and great to get to the cinder track. Hopefully back soon to enjoy again.

The cottage was absolutely perfect for our family holiday. The owner Karen was so friendly and helpful. The cottage is a real home from home and was very well equipped. Having parking was a real bonus too. And to top it off the views from the decking and the house are wonderful! Weâll definitely return and are already planning our next stay!
