It was a quiet and peaceful too. The cottage was well equipped and provided useful maps for walks. There were just a few things we werenât happy about - the main one being the mattress on the bed in the front bedroom was so uncomfortable. It felt like the springs were poking through it. It was too uncomfortable to sleep on my side and in the mornings I felt like I was bruised it was so sore. My husband also had problems using the oven despite referring to the manual provided. The house was rather dusty too we found which made me sneeze! Apart from that everything was fine

Comfortable cottage, close to the Cleveland Way for walks to Staithes and Runswick Bay and further afield. The bus service is great for trips further along the coast so no need to use the car. (Parking space a definite plus). Perfect for us, hopefully back next year.
