This is a lovely, comfortable, cottage, with countryside and sea views in a quiet and peaceful location. The beds were super comfortable and the cottage had all the amenities you could wish for. There were stunning views every day over the bay with beautiful sunsets, and the ha (low cloud) gathering below in Robin Hoods Bay on one day. There is an excellent tea shop nearby and good walks/cycle tracks all around. Shops are not so close but we had a Morrisons delivery at the start of the holiday and needed very little for the rest of the time. The hosts were friendly and kind, and were on hand if any help were needed, otherwise they left us to enjoy our holiday in peace. A very restful break and just what we needed.
