Oakwood is situated just in front of Sewerby Hall and Gardens, a beautiful Georgian mansion set in 50-acres of landscaped gardens, plus a zoo to keep the children entertained. This detached property lies in the village of Sewerby, on the clifftops of the east Yorkshire coast overlooking the bay of Bridlington. The seafront is just a short stroll away, where you can walk along the clifftop to Bridlington, or catch the land train which runs several times a day throughout the summer. In the opposite direction is Danes Dyke, a local nature reserve. For those of you with dogs, the walks along the cliffs are breathtaking, and this is the reason why so many walkers return to this area year after year. There is also a large grassed area where you can enjoy a picnic or perhaps a game of cricket. Alternatively, spend a lazy afternoon watching the local village team play cricket and take in the stunning scenery of the coast.
Bridlington is a busy, traditional seaside resort and still has a working harbour, where you can watch the boats come in with their catch. Flamborough Head and the rspb bird sanctuary at Bempton are close by. See the puffins in their natural habitat, as well as kittiwakes, guillemots and gannets. There are many stately homes to visit in the area, including Burton Agnes Hall, Sledmere House and Castle Howard. Hull, the City of Culture 2017, and the medieval city of York can be reached within an hour by both car or train. The market towns of Beverley, Driffield and Pocklington, with their charming independent shops and cafes, are well worth a visit. The coastal resorts of Scarborough, Filey and Whitby are easily accessible, or inland, enjoy a wonderful drive through the North York Moors National Park. Beach ½ mile. Shop 1 mile, pub and restaurant 500 yards.

A very well thought out and cosy cottage, gave us an excellent base for walks along to coast to Flamborough Head and around Bridlington - we didn't use the car all week. Tina was very helpful and our welcome hamper was a lovely touch enjoyed by humans and furry friends alike.

We have had a few holidays in different cottage’s around the country and Wales and this was the best for equipment. I have always took some of my own kitchen equipment but I didn’t need to use mine . The lay out of bungalow is brilliant. Would definitely go back again .

Superb chalet style bungalow Tina the owner was there to greet us and show us round this deceptively spacious home with a well equipped galley kitchen with separate dining room and lounge. There are two spacious double bedrooms with shared bathroom on the ground floor and two good sized twin rooms with separate ensuite on the upoer level.We were travelling with our two dogs so the location was excellent with cliff top walks 5 minutes away and the lovely gardens and woodland walk at Sewerby Hall just over the road. The Ship Inn, also 5 minutes walk, serves good food and is also dog friendly.
