A lovely property in a great location, very peaceful but close to Sandsend and Whitby. We are a family of 6 adults and 3 children (3 generations) and we all enjoyed our stay. Lots of kitchenware and plenty of seating for us to eat together and relax on sofas. The local roads are very narrow and not pedestrian friendly so I’d recommend driving the short distance to the beach. 4 stars given due to the shower upstairs and in the en suite being very difficult to switch off- they need attention. Also most importantly the twin room downstairs had a pungent cat smell which luckily didn’t seem to bother my granddaughters who slept in there but it did the rest of us when it drifted into the living area. If not for this it would be 5 stars from us!

We loved the house and had a great few days away. We were happy with the location and the decor was nice. Our only complaints were the wifi only worked in 2 bedrooms and nowhere else in the house, meaning the TV also didn’t work. There were also some cleanliness issues; some Kitchenware was dirty, including a baking tray with old food in it (including a whole sausage!) and lots of plates/dishes etc with food caked onto them, a crate of beer left outside the back door and outside lights not working. We also found various items in drawers showing that they had not been cleaned out- a half empty packet of sanitary towels in one bedroom drawer and a half eaten chocolate orange in another!

This is a lovely property with great communal area and outdoor seating. Double rooms lovely and shared ones exactly as described. Great location for sea swimming, coastal path and North York moors.

Eigentlich eine sehr schöne location, allerdings war von Beginn an nur lauwarmes Wasser vorhanden, das nach einem Tag ganz ausfiel. Auf einen Anruf wurde dann zwar schnell reagiert, die Reparatur dauerte dann aber 2 Tage und hat auch nur 2 Tage funktioniert. Dazu ist dann auch noch die Heizung ausgefallen. Auf erneute Anrufe wurde dann gar nicht mehr reagiert. So hatten wir von 10 Tagen nur 2 Tage heisses Wasser.
