Very nice clean cottage for 2 people and a dog, small shared court yard at the back. The stairs leading to the bedroom and bathroom are steep and narrow so care must be taken going up and down them. The cottage is situated at the beginning of the village and it is about 5 minutes walk to pubs, a Co op supermarket and 2 fish and chip shops. It is about 15 minutes walk to the beach. There is parking outside the cottage or across the road. Flamborough is a very nice coastal village and cottage sits very nice in the old part of village near the church.

Fantastic little cosy cottage on the edge of the village of Flamborough. Great location. About 10 minute walk to the local co-op and 5-8 minute walk to some lovely pubs and restaurants. Highly recommend the lighthouse fisheries for the best fish and chips we've had in years. The cottage is so cosy and has all the amenities you need for 2 people. It is kept very clean and the host instructions and communications are clear. We felt very much at home, we could have stayed longer. We won't hesitate to return hear if we visit flambourough or the surrounding areas again

Well located for beautiful local walks, in an attractive location on the edge of the village. Car parking space was a bonus. Comfortable, cosy and clean cottage. Some low ceilings a bit of a challenge for tall people like ourselves. Ideal for a relaxing short break for two. Easy walking to the limited selection of local shops, pubs and restaurants. Would recommend .
