We had a fabulous stay at this beautiful house.The views are stunning from every window.The photos do not do justice to this gorgeous place.The rooms are so spacious, the kitchen is well equipped and the beds are comfy. The garden is a great size for a kick about.We loved being so close to the sheep too.It’s the perfect location for peace and quiet with a couple of lovely walks and a very short drive to Whitby, Sandsend and Robin Hoods Bay.The welcome pack was a lovely touch and another lovely surprise was finding lots of toys in the big sideboard! We will definitely be back
