Gorgeous cottage with sea views nr. Robin Hoods Bay
Perfect location to visit sites all around e.g. Robin Hoods Bay, Whitby, Filey, Staithes, The Cleveland Way, etc. Lots of really good info in welcome pack, especially footpath walk to Boggle Hole beach. Milk, tea, coffee and cake on arrival. Superb views of the countryside and sea. Goats, sheep, chickens and 2 very friendly dogs. Owners very welcoming and helpful. Cottage warm, cosy and very well decorated with everything you need. Good parking. Pub and bus stops at the top of the lane. Excellent!

Fantastic cottage with everything that we required.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the cottage was a great base to explore the surrounding area. The owners were very helpful and made us feel welcome. My daughter particularly loved the games room and there was great fields within 2 mins walk for the dog.
We would strongly recommend this cottage to anyone who was thinking about staying in this location.

Wonderful Place
Super cottage in a lovely place. Really nice welcome. Bus stop with bus to either Whitby or Scarborough just at the top of the lane. Funny donkey alarm in the morning which wakes you up with a smile and a walk to Robin Hoods Bay if you fancy some exercise. 100% recommended.

Beautiful.
This property is stylish and comfortable in a gorgeous location with stunning views. You can spend the day exploring the picturesque area or having fun on one of the local beaches and come back to relax at the cottage with everything you need for a great holiday. We also enjoyed both the wildlife and domesticated animals at Meadowbeck with a special mention to the lovely donkeys Willow and Bracken! We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to friends and family.
