.. and more. Owner Glenis was extremely attentive, phoning to let us know that the cottage was ready early and, as we eventually arrived after dark she made sure the outside light was on. We had an amazing welcome pack which we appreciated immensely and the cottage was so clean, with everything we needed for our lovely break such as coffee, soap and bubble bath. We also slept very well in comfy beds. We enjoyed a couple of a beautiful meals at the Victoria and Grosvenor hotels, fabulous pizza from The Smugglers and a couple of lovely light lunches at The Bay Hotel. Overall, this was an amazing place to stay. Thanks.

Parking arrangements were straightforward - though there is much to enjoy locally on foot: the walking route north to Whitby (with the option of returning by bus) and a wonderfully scenic circular route south to Ravenscar are particularly recommended. Our host was always available for help and advice as necessary both before and during our stay, contributing to a most relaxing break.

Very clean and lots of extras provided, tea, coffee, milk, chocolate, wine, and even bubble bath, which was very much appreciated after long walks and the steep hill ! Robin hoods Bay and the surrounding area are lovely to visit any time of the year. It might have been November but we were determined to have a little glass of wine on the balcony and people watch ! Brambles Bistro, Smugglers and The Cove recommended. Thank you for our short break.
