Had a wonderful short break at the cottage. The owners were extremely welcoming and allowed us to use a fenced off field so the dogs could run around and burn off some energy, it was an extra special treat for the dogs when the owners dog came to join ours for a run around.The cottage was cosy, with lovely and well planned amenities, good parking and a little fenced off area so the dogs could spend some time outside the cottage safely with us.Close to Whitby and Robin Hood bay for a lovely day out.Wished we had booked for longer, but will definitely save this cottage and plan a longer break in the future.
