Had a very relaxing few days in this cute cottage. Definitely recommend it. Handy location as it very near Staithes and had a great couple of days out in Saltburn by the sea and Whitby.All in all, it’s a fantastic base for exploring the area while still having a quiet, comfortable place to return to at the end of the day. We’d happily stay again!A perfect spot for a peaceful coastal break.

Arrived and was shown around, lovely fella pointed out everything I needed to know .Initially it was freezing sat most of the evening in coats waiting for the heaters to warm up the place , cooking facilities 2 plate hob and a combo microwave , bed was an average double with bedside each side and that’s all the room , shower didn’t produce more than 30 seconds of hot water. Cottage’s across left outside light on shone through our blinds illuminating the whole place. The photos in my opinion gave a much more indication of space.Lovely chap , lovely location but very basic coming from someone who lives on a boat !
