Spacious and with all the facilities needed for our short holiday. It is in a lovely, very friendly village easily accessible to the coast and wider area. Thank you for providing a very comfortable stay, gorgeous tarts from Hunmanby Pantry! We look forward to returning.

We and the dog really appreciated the secure back garden which seemed to have sun most of the time. However, I couldn't bolt it from the inside as suggested as the bolts don't align. Some great books and board games provided. They neighbours we bumped into were both very friendly to us. So lovely to be able to.stay in.such a nice place in an interesting village, so near to the sea. Thank you for allowing a 4 night stay in August. My daughter and I really appreciated the short break. 4 for comfort as some of the pillows have the give of a fully inflated tyre

We are comparing our current accommodation with Rosie Cottage which says a lot. A beautiful character cottage with absolutely everything we could ever want. The shower drain however needed attention. The shower was slow to drain and I lifted the cover and was filled with hair. Cleaning required to maintain this beautiful home.
