Excellent location with parking. Within walking distance of Robin Hoods bay, well maintained and spacious. Lovely views in the morning and locals very welcoming. Would return as whole family enjoyed. Can recommend the local pub Fylingdales Inn for a great tasting and well priced meal with friendly staff.

Great location, and lovely house. The only fault was our small dog could get through the gaps in the hedges and had to be kept on a lead outside.
