The site itself is really quiet and well maintained. The cottage is lovely and warm, cosy and comfortable. It is spotlessly clean and has all the facilities you need. The extra cloakroom downstairs is a bonus and the hot water is plentiful. With four adults and a baby using the shower/bath daily we found there was no need to use the boost for extra hot water. The owners provided a lovely welcome pack which we really appreciated. All in all a fabulous stay and we would love to return. Absolutely first class!

I hope to be back next year and stay for longer. The weather stayed nice for us, so that was a bonus. The wine and cookies were a lovely surprise. The beds were comfortable and I slept really well. I will be recommending this cottage to friends and family.

On site swimming pool and play area are good for those with children and we walked into Whitby town with three and five year old grandkids (via a very safe footpath for most of the 1.5 miles).
