Outstanding cottage in a great location. Immaculately clean and beautifully furnished. Coastal path to Whitby or Robin Hoods Bay around a 15 minute walk away. We loved the quirky layout and would definitely like to stay again.
John Chapman
Excellant clean tidy cottage which is very well equipped.Lovely and quiet in a location that overlooks the sea which is approximately a mile away.The double bed is a bit low for me and the chairs in the sitting room are low but my son and wife thought they were ok.Really nice powerful shower and 2 toilets.Probably could have used a sun umbrella in the garden as we had really sunny weather during our stay.I would recommend Harebell and return in the future.
