Great location for a walking break, amenities top notch and the bed is so comfy quiet location with sea view would recommend this spot. Thanks for the welcome pack you don't get that in all places these day's.

From the moment we arrived at the cottage, the view of the sea in the distance was wow. Big enclosed garden perfect for our dog. Plenty of outdoor furniture to enjoy the sunshine or evening relaxing! The cottage itself, upon opening the door we were greeted with a lovely message and welcome basket, so thoughtful 🥰 Open plan downstairs with everything you could need from local information to cling film! Blanketnfor sitting outside in the evening. Very comfortable and homely. We all soon settled in! Stairs to the bedroom and bathroom, again, everything we needed and a comfortable bed. Lots of walks in the doorstep although we couldn’t get down to Ravenscar beach so had to look at the seals from afar. If you want peace and quiet with only the swallows, swifts, local sheep and horses as neighbours this is the place! Absolutely cracking stay, will have to come back to see the seals closer up! Owners have done a great job of making this space exactly what we wanted.

We were visiting Ravenscar for a family wedding which we were helping to set up for. Beacon Cottage was a perfect base for our very busy week.The cottage is in an idyllic location with views of fields and sea, especially from the comfortable outdoor seating area.The nearest supermarkets are 20 minutes away so some planning is required if you want to fully self-cater. On-line order deliveries are possible.. There is a very good welcome pack supplied by the owners so some essentials are already available.Best of all, after very long days, returning to the cottage for a bath and evening meal followed by a great night's sleep in the most comfortable bed we have ever experienced on holiday was a joy.We did not need to contact the owners but their contact details were provided in the information folder along with plenty of useful information about cottage and local area.Staying at Beacon Cottage made it possible for us to enjoy every minute of the "wedding week", not just the day itself.
