Overall we loved our little stay here. A very cosy, comfortable, and warm cottage nestled within Robin hoods bay. We never had any issues with getting cold as the cottage warmed up lovely. Great to be able to have a nice hot bath after a days walk and also a very large smart TV in the living room for those night time film binges! After reading otheRead morer reviews on different websites, I would disagree with some. This cottage was great for myself and my partner and we would happily return. We could see it has been decorated recently too. Perhaps some touch ups needed but nothing major. A couple of things mentioned to the owner when we first arrived, such as the fridge light not working, however a fast and prompt response was provided and the situation was resolved. Thank you for having us, and as for comfort, location, and value for money - it was excellent in our opinion. We hope to be back! :) Hide

Robin Hoods Bay is a lovely place to spend a few days. There is a lovely feel about the place with all its lovely cottages along quaint streets and passages. This particular cottage is priced a bit too high for its amenities and decor. It has been cheaply and it seems hastily decorated to be rented out. It is not up to standard decorating wise Read more(unfinished tatty paintwork) to be let out. Hide
