We enjoyed our stay. The cottage was clean and warm but I wouldn't describe it as cosy. The decor and furnishings were dated but everything we needed was there. I think the photos were probably taken quite a while ago. As we weren't interested in the magazines in the rack we didn't find the accommodation information folder until our last day, which was also buried in the rack. The shower was disappointing as the water pressure was very low if you wanted a hot shower. The owners were very welcoming as were others in the local area. We had excellent meals in both The North Star Hotel and Viking Hotel, both 5 minutes walk from the accommodation. Jenny Wren was a few minutes walk from the coastal path. Facilities in the village of Flamborough were also very good but the accommodation was a 20/30 minutes walk from the village. Fine by car. A small bottle of milk in the fridge and a few tea bags might have been useful as there is nothing more welcoming after a long journey than a cup of tea.

An excellently located cottage for exploring the rugged coastline on foot. A must for bird-watchers.The chip-shops and CO-OP in Flamborough village were great.

This cottage is wonderful if you are wanting a relaxing break. 10 mins walk to the sea and coastal walks. Situated on a working farm, with views of the animals and fields. We usually stay at the Caravan Park, but now we have found this lovely cottage with loads of space, we shall be coming here in future.
