The cottage is tucked away in a quiet courtyard near the church in Flamborough, with the owner living just around the corner. This detached property is centrally located for the shops, bars and restaurants with the beach in walking distance. Flamborough Head lies between Bridlington and Filey and is a bird watchers paradise. Every year birds travel in their thousands to Flamborough and you will see the interesting array of seabirds that cling to the chalk cliffs. People travel from all over the world to see the wonderful puffins and the rspb bird sanctuary at Bempton Cliffs is the best place to get a good view, as they provide viewing platforms along the cliff side. Flamborough is a traditional fishing village and although some fishing still take place, it now relies on tourism. A lovely walk along the cliff tops brings you to Danes Dyke, a fantastic nature reserve.
The bustling harbour of Bridlington is only a 10-minute drive away and is still a busy fishing harbour. This traditional seaside resort offers donkey rides, a pirate ship and of course sandcastles and candy floss. Beach ¾ mile. Shop, pub and restaurant 300 yards.

Excellent location and the cottage itself is quite well equiped. However the cleanliness of baking trays wasn't good and 1 was really dirty and had burnt on food remnants. The kettle was in desperate need of descaling and the filter was totally clogged up leaving alot of limescale in the water.Towels are included and come wrapped in plastic which was good hygienically, however the towels themselves were like cardboard very stiff and scratchy so would be better if not provided at all. Finally the wifi and Internet were non existent due to connection failing constantly, we couldn't watch TV and had to give up. The guest book made numerous reflections to the same points but it seems all have fell on deaf ears. The owner did try to reboot the router but made no difference.Overall made our stay very dissapointing
