The road is very busy and noisy. We were a group of 2, we were given 3 hand towels and 1 bath towel, despite requesting another this didnât materialise. Great location for shops, pubs, restaurants and the beach. Good for travelling around NE Yorks. Lovely comfortable and well equipped accommodation.

There was only 1 small hand towel per person left not as described 2 bigger towels per person. I found 2 tablets in the main bedroom on the floor and furniture hadn't been moved for cleaning as there were old wrappers under the table in the living room. Furthermore there was underwear left in the washing machine. The property itself was well presented. For comfort they should maybe consider changing the mattresses as these were acceptable but not necessarily as comfortable i would have preferred.
