Longshore is a comfortable and homely cottage in a quiet area, ideal for dog owners and walkers, with easy access to the Yorkshire coast and local pubs. Guests appreciated the cleanliness, well-equipped interior, and secure garden. While the garden could use some attention and there were minor maintenance issues, the property offers a relaxing base for exploring the region. The welcome pack was a thoughtful touch for some guests, and the cottage is praised for being dog-friendly and well-suited for families.
Multiple guests commented on the property being spotless and extremely clean, with no noticeable pet odours. Only one review mentioned clutter near bins, but overall impressions were very positive.
The cottage is praised for its quiet residential setting, proximity to the coast, and easy access to local pubs and walking routes. The only minor drawback is the steep hill to the beach and lack of nearby shops.

The property is well-equipped and has good broadband and TV. However, guests noted issues with garden maintenance, heating, water temperature, and some minor maintenance needs. The EV charger was mentioned but not functional.

Completed to a high standard in Spring 2026, Longshore has been thoughtfully refurbished throughout, blending modern comfort with cosy character.

Upstairs, there are two beautifully presented bedrooms, each bursting with colour, character and charm. One bedroom features a comfortable double bed, while the second offers a king-size zip-and-link bed that can be made up as twin singles on request, making the Property Referenceeal for couples, friends or small families. A stylish modern shower room completes the accommodation.
Longshore sits at the top of Runswick village, with the sandy bay waiting at the bottom of the hill. The beach is dog-friendly all year round, making this an excellent choice for guests holidaying with four-legged companions.
Runswick lies directly on the Cleveland Way, a spectacular coastal walking route that links some of Yorkshire’s most iconic seaside destinations, including Whitby, Sandsend, Staithes, Robin Hood’s Bay and Scarborough. The nearby coastline is rich in dramatic cliffs, hidden coves, fossil-hunting beaches and picturesque fishing villages, offering endless opportunities for exploration, photography and fresh sea air.
Inland, the North York Moors National Park is right on your doorstep, with its rolling heather moorland, peaceful valleys, historic abbeys and charming market towns. Whether you’re drawn to long walks, cycling, wildlife spotting or simply soaking up the scenery, the moors provide a stunning contrast to the rugged coast.

We enjoyed our stay in Longshore. It's a snug cottage, comfortable beds and sofas, with a good TV and good broadband for dark evenings and bad-weather days. Secure garden for dogs. The nearby beach at Runswick Bay is fabulous for dogs, and there are loads of other beaches and walks a short drive away - a great stretch of coast, and Whitby is lovely.A couple of issues: The house was very cold when we got there as there was no heating on, and as the heating is overnight storage heaters it then took the night to warm up.... This should have been managed better. So bring jumpers for your first evening! But once the heaters had warmed up it stayed very snug for the rest of our stay. Also, the web page mentioned that there was an EV charger, but we couldn't get it to work and there is absolutely no information about it at the cottage, so it can't be relied on at the moment.But regardless of that, it made a great base and we will very likely stay there again......

We enjoyed our stay, it was lovely to have the Cleveland Way on the doorstep. The only criticism is the heating, the heaters didn't come on till next day. Would have been nice to have instant heat on chilly evenings.
