We stayed from the 22nd December to the 29th December 2025The cottage is so lovely, clean and cosy with the most beautiful views of the sea you really do feel at home. We had a lovely Christmas here my son is autistic and struggles with loud busy environments and this place is so peaceful he enjoyed every moment so much that he’s asked to come back so we have booked again for in the new year couldn’t recommend this property enough the little extra touches from Caroline and Jon are so thoughtful and kind. My doggies also loved it as they got to go on some lovely walks we discovered new historical places on every walk.Thank you again Caroline and Jon.

Bay was a lovely, cosy, comfortable, welcoming place to be in an unusually snowy November. The owners went the extra mile to be sure it was great. There’s not a lot to do in Ravenscar, but it’s perfect if walking is for you & the views are superb. Many lovely coastal areas to go to & in winter, dogs are allowed on the beaches & free parking in many areas.
