Itâs in a beautiful peaceful setting with no through traffic, and far reaching views towards the sea and Ravenscar. Thereâs easy access to Boggle Hole and the Cleveland Way footpaths along the cliffs. We cycled the Cinder Path south towards Scarborough and North to Whitby and there was a cycle store next to the cottage. The garden is spacious with a lovely sitting area. The owners were most welcoming and helpful.

We particularly liked its peaceful location and quick access to the beach at Boggle Hole. The cottage felt cosy and the heating was responsive. The kitchen is very well equipped and the quartz work surfaces are a touch of luxury. The bathroom is nicely fitted and has a powerful shower, albeit with restricted headroom. The comfortable beds are fitted with quality bed linen. One suggestion for improvement would be to replace the uncomfortable sofa; we improvised by using cushions from the other sofa to increase the padding. We enjoyed sitting at the kitchen window watching many species of birds using the thoughtfully positioned feeder, and especially appreciated visits from a great spotted woodpecker. We also liked sitting on the patio when it was sunny. We highly recommend Orchard Cottage, but do take note of the description of the stairs. A week goes by so quickly and it was all too soon that we had to leave.
