Can not fault this property. The house is warm and inviting a real home from home. Very well equipped to a high standard. The buses stop at the end of the lane just a 10 minute walk away and run every 30 minutes so give the car a rest for a day at least. Really enjoyed our stay,. Thankyou.

Excellent fixtures and fittings, the cottage was very warm and cosy, and for anyone who relishes peace and quiet, this is the place for you. Whitby is only about six miles away with a really good park-and-ride service. We would certainly stay there again.
