The Haggs is a stunning recently refurbished four-bedroom cottage with sea views situated in a quiet location in the heart of Sandsend. Sandsend, one of North Yorkshire's prettiest coastal villages, is set at the foot of Lythe Bank and only a two-mile beach walk away from Whitby. Pretty holiday cottages and houses are set in the stunning cliff backdrop. Beneath them is the award-winning beach, with streams leading to the sea, perfect for children to have a splash in or feed the ducks. Alternatively, a walk in the neighbouring woodlands or along the cliffs is equally as charming. Originally Sandsend was two separate villages, each formed along its own beck, it now stands as one united village. There are interesting shops, an award-winning restaurant, cafes, pubs and an art gallery. With beautiful views of the coastline and its famous historic neighbour, Whitby, it is a truly magical place.

The cottage has plenty of parking on the block paved drive and then you enter into a wonderful home with everything you need for your perfect holiday. Enter into a reception hall, which leads into a lovely sitting room with comfortable seating, and living flame gas fire. Also, downstairs you can enjoy the fantastic modern kitchen diner (with Miele & Neff appliances) with views to the garden and out to sea. Spend time with friends and family enjoying a meal at the table while discussing your plans for the next day, or if you are feeling up to it after a day out sightseeing go into the games room and play table football or use the games console. Also, downstairs is a modern shower room (incorporating a power shower) and a large utility room with a washing machine. On the first floor you will find four bedrooms and a bathroom with double walk-in shower and a luxury double ended bath.

Outside to the rear, through the patio doors from the kitchen/diner, you will find a large patio area with table and seating, ideal for alfresco dining, and a lawned fully enclosed garden area with views over the sea.

A lovely, very well-equipped, spacious holiday home in a lovely quiet location just 100 metres from the sea. A perfect home in a perfect spot, and wed definitely come again. We have fed back to the owners that it wasnt quite as clean as we would expect when we arrived (we needed to hoover again, and dust on some surfaces), but hopefully that Read morewill be addressed for future guests. Wed definitely book again. Hide

5 Star review - Very nice property, plenty of room, very comfortable beds, warm and cosy. Lots of kitchen equpiment which was a plus. Utility room was warm to dry our outdoor boots and clothes. Very nicely decorated and well appointed in each bedroom. Bathrooms were very modern. The games room was a great advantage. We were 4 adults, 2 teenagers anRead mored 1 child. We arrived on 27th December and noticed immediately that there were a lot of dog hair on all of the couches in the lounge and the sofa bed in the games room. The T&C's of the property are to NOT allow pets on furniture or upstairs but clearly the previous occupier had allowed this to happen. This put the lounge and games room seating out of action due to dog hair all over our clothes. NOT great. We had to wait until the company opened to ring and inform them. 1) I called and someone answered but could not hear me so dropped the call. 2) I called again and got through. The person at the company was very apologetic and informed me that they would deal with this straight away. She confirmed the T&Cs for pets and was quite upset about the dogs being allowed on the couches. She was very polite and respectful - she promised a deep clean of the areas in question - 5 stars. 3) I then received a call from the first person who could not hear me - again 5 stars as she actually called back! 4) I then received a call from the local person who again apologised and informed me that the housekeeper would be around at lunchtime to deep clean. Again 5 star service We left the keys in the safe and went out. 5) We came back to the house and we could tell immediately that the housekeeper had done an excellent job on the deep clean. 5 stars. So whilst the dog hair was not pleasant the service from holiday cottages was first class. We cannot thank them enough for their prompt, polite and respectful service. I would highly recommend the company to anyone. Thanks from all of us! Happy New Year. Hide

What a wonderful house in a wonderful place. It is perfectly situated in Sandsend, auspiciously for the area, adorned with a great drive for private parking, and a lovely homely feel. It has recently been renovated with new bathrooms and a new kitchen and perfect for a family and for us, most crucially, for dogs. A great patio out to the rear encloRead moresed garden is perfect for pooches. Ours loved it so much and it was a joy to see them have such a great holiday after one of them had a serious operation that means anywhere we go we need easy access out to the garden, and the owners have had a wonderful floor put down that is super practical, easy to clean and not slippy (brill for older dogs, older visitors and little ones!) Its been a long year for us and we really needed a break and this was just perfect. Thank you for letting us share your lovely house. Hide
