Washing machine would be handy but we found laundromat in Whitby. Local shops are great. We werenât prepared for the narrow street but it all worked out. Truely a lovely location.

Fabulous location for Robin Hoods Bay and surrounding beaches and bays. Close to Whitby. The cottage itself is surrounded by lots of character and charm. The cottage was beautiful and clean and has everything you need. We would stay again. Thank you for a lovely week.

Perfectly located in lower bay and very spacious. Particularly love the ensuite bathroom with skylight and being woken by the seagulls! Only recommendation would be bedroom reading lamps are needed, as only a mains light switch and emergency torch lighting provided this year, unlike previous years. Ice box in freezer also desperately in need of defrosting as had trouble getting a few bits in due to ice build up. Would thoroughly recommend accommodation as great price, superb location and clean and very warm throughout. Many thanks!
