  Lovely, cosy cottage with everything we needed in the most perfect location and stunning sea views. Bonus parking spot too - extremely rare in RBH but the seagulls enjoyed using the car as target practice!! (...but that should be expected being literally 12ft from the seawall!!) The cottage was very well equipped, always felt very warm even on a couple of very wet, cool days. The shower was excellent (always good before and after long days out and about). Bonus to have good Wifi and TV reception too. We ate pizza at the Smugglers which was fresh and delicious and steak at Brambles Bistro which was excellent - the Bordelaise sauce was to die for!! The cottage is great for 2 people and a small dog - we would highly recommend it but would advise that it is a very cosy and old cottage and therefore not necessarily built for tall people or those that may struggle with stairs. Also need to be a bit brave driving through the tight village roads and reversing down the hill from the parking bay. Be aware that other drivers will also be navigating or parking on the same roads so patience is a must! We hope to return one day as this is a great place to stay and enjoy everything that Robin Hoods Bay has to offer.

  Great position for sea views and having a parking spot is very unusual in the village. Be ready to clean the car regularly though - the seagulls like to use it as target practice! The Cove cafe is pretty much next door and they serve excellent pizzas in the evenings (with a nice bottle of wine!) which are well worth a try. The museum is worth a visit too - lots of interesting details about the town’s history. Bus service to Whitby runs every half hour - nice to revert to childhood and go upstairs at the front - the views are lovely. The fish and chip shop just off the harbour is excellent. We went there twice during the week - the second time after a great walk to Boggle Hole and back. So a nice week away and, with the sea so close, it works whatever the weather.

  Overall the cottage was very good. The upstairs lounge was particularly nice. The location is very good. There are a few areas that are a little “tired” - varnished table/work tops tend to get a bit sticky after cleaning, the bathroom cabinet door was very loose, shower caddy fell off, bathroom sink tap leaked (needs a new washer). One negative (not the fault of the owner) is in the car parking that is directly under a chimney which is a seagull perch. After less than two days the car was such a mess that it was impossible to see through the screen. We weren’t anticipating this so had very limited materials with which to clean the car for safe driving - advice beforehand and provision of a bucket to swill/wipe down the car would help.

  Cliff Head is a lovely cozy cottage. You have everything you need and it is well equipped and very clean. It has a massive advantage of having its own parking space too, which is brilliant, although I would take a cover, as the seagulls make quite a mess on your car. The lounge is on the first floor, and it is lovely to sit in front of the open fire, and look out of the windows each side of the chimney breast out onto the open sea. It is quite small, and you need to watch your head as you climb the stairs if you are fairly tall, but this is not a complaint at all, it is lovely to be able to stay in such a lovely old characterful cottage. Highly recommend.

  Our only issues were the tv downstairs wasn’t working, we did change the battery in the remote with no success, this was only a problem because we stayed with our dog and wanted to be downstairs with her , also when we arrived just after 4pm there was a car parked in our parking spot and two other cars behind it I tried nearby cottages with no luck , so after I long journey we parked at the bottom and took the dog on the beach for a wee within 10 minutes or so we had a parking ticket, I appreciate that you can’t control issues with other cars but it did put a dampener on the beginning of our stay
