The Owls Nest is a lovely cottage for a short family break. Excellent location for coastal towns of Whitby, Scarborough and Robin Hoods Bay. The cottage is ideal for a small family and has everything needed. Would suggest more sofa space is needed as current sofas are very small and don't provide much comfort for relaxing in evenings. Some amenities need a little upgrade (upstairs bedroom chest of drawers broken drawer and dining table very wobbly!)- but overall a good location and good value for money.

Small but perfectly formed. Everything you could need. Underfloor heating lovely on the feet.
