The cottage was even better than the photos on the site. It was warm on arrival, we had great communication from Elaine and the beds were super comfy (a big thing for us). The items left for our dog were great. Xx

A beautiful cottage. The owner certainly has an eye for interior design. Very comfortable and in an excellent location. A generous food hamper greeted us on arrival. There are four useful electric charging points in the car park at the top of the hill. Robin Hood's Bay has a long beach where dogs are allowed, even an high season.

Lovely cottage right in the heart of Robin Hood's Bay. Spacious, airy bedrooms with comfortable beds. Communal room and kitchen very compact - fine for 4 people but would be a squeeze for 6. Welcome pack on arrival, plenty of towels and toilet roll. Parking permit available for 10 per day, which was a must. Would be happy to stay here again.

All the reviews we read about this property were true! The cottage was really well equipped and set in the most beautiful surroundings. I cant recommend this holiday cottage highly enough and know we'll be looking forward to booking a return visit again soon. My teenage daughter left her jacket and air pods by accident and Elaine the owner went outRead more of her way to help us get them home, cannot thank them enough, lovely people.
