Bay cottage is in a lovely setting with views across to Robin Hood's Bay - it is really quite dramatic. The cottage itself is well appointed, warm and comfortable. The owners provide a thoughtful welcome basket including milk for the much needed cup of tea after a long journey! The Cheviot Way goes through Ravenscar and there is a National Trust information centre and cafe just a 5-minute walk along the main road in the village.The week we were there the weather was not kind, however the cottage was warm and snug.Ravenscar is a car trip to the nearest shop, but that's some of the charm of the location!
