Just a one-mile walk from Flamborough’s magnificent lighthouse, these former agricultural barns, estimated to date back approximately 200 years, have been skillfully converted retaining many original features and exposed roof timbers. The location of these cottages affords far-reaching views, yet close to local amenities; each one has its own sitting-out area complete with garden furniture and with underfloor heating at ground level the holiday cottages remain cosy all year round. Built in 1860, the lighthouse stands guard atop the chalk cliff, as a silent sentinel, protecting shipping off Flamborough Head, and tours are available throughout the summer. The headland overlooks Selwick’s Bay, where visitors can stroll along the chalk paths descending to the sand and gravel beach with its fascinating rock pools. Flamborough Head Golf Course, 3/4 mile, offers a warm welcome for both golfers and diners in their clubhouse and another cliff top course can be found at Bridlington Links, 3 miles. The spectacular chalk cliffs to the north, with their panoramic views, are home to one of the largest nesting seabird colonies in England - rspb Bempton. The quaint village of Flamborough itself is steeped in a history of piracy, shipwrecks and smuggling. The Heritage Coastal resorts of Bridlington, Filey, and Scarborough are all easily accessible. Shops, pubs and restaurants ¾ mile.

Wonderful accommodation that gave us everything we needed. Nice and handy for some coastal walks and also for popping to Bridlington, Filey and Scarborough.The walk around the lighthouse at the end of the road is lovely, with the added bonus of lots of Seals. The cafe by the lighthouse also does really nice food.Discovered the little cove at North Landing too which is only a 6 minute drive but is a lovely spot.The accommodation itself was fantastically clean and provided everything we needed. Paul was massively helpful in preparing us for the boat and even checked up with us to make sure we were ok when running a little late with our arrival

The accommodation itself was excellent. The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms equipped with all that you would need. Bathrooms clean and functional. No problems with getting hot showers. Downstairs the open plan living accommodation was well set out offering a lovely space to accommodate all our needs.The outside space was limited. It would have been nice if the children could have had somewhere to play. Also there is still a lot of construction work taking place on the site. All in all I would not hesitate to return to Gull Newk in the future.
