Perfect cottage for 2, in a fabulous location, with sea-views from every window. Being right in the heart of the village was special, and it's easy to access the beach and coastal paths. All rooms are well-equipped, and the living room & bedroom are lovely to sit in when the sunlight streams in, and in the cosy evening. The kitchen table is bigger,Read more and therefore more useful, than as shown in the photos. The parking space is really useful, saving a lot of fetching and carrying. The welcome pack of goodies and milk were much appreciated. Hide

This cottage is fantastic and if anything better than described. Apart from in the kitchen there really is a sea view from every window. Warm, comfortable, well equipped, amazing location, nothing not to like. Parking space is a huge bonus, my Polo had room to spare and the reverse back out is not that scary. Expect seagull poo, it is the seaside! Read moreLovely welcome treats as well as milk and tea and coffee plus ample supplies of cleaning products and a generous starter pack for the fire.

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 Read morefire, 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. Hide

Pleasant and well-equipped cottage, in an ideal location. So much to see and do in and around Robin Hoods Bay. The parking space wasn't quite the asset as anticipated, as the approach road was often blocked by other cars, and seagulls nesting on the cottage roof had great fun using our car as target practice.

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 aRead more 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. Hide
