We had everything we needed it was lovely and cosy. We met the owner who went above and beyond making us welcome. There's plenty of beautiful walks and also close to Saltburn and Marske. Would definitely recommend this beautiful little cottage especially if you have a dog because of the beautiful walks your four legged friend not want to leave.

It'd be nice to have local up to date area info and local produce in the welcome pack but that's a 'nice to have', rather than essential. Garden needs to be explained to dog owners (shared space with next door on the pathway, big jump up/down to garden which isn't suitable for older or arthritic dogs, small dogs can get through the gate, the front wall is low, next door dogs can put their head through the gate into Chapel Cottage garden. There was no problem between our dogs and lovely dogs at The Chapel's during our stay but it would be tricky for people with tiny, less mobile, or reactive dogs - it'd be helpful to have a bit more detail about gardens where the property is marketed as being dog friendly with an enclosed garden (or be able to chat with someone who knows the property). Location was lovely, very peaceful and nice to have walks straight out of the cottage.
