This is the second time we have stayed here which is why we came back. Perfect for our 3 dogs. Colin and his partner are really helpful and friendly. A short drive from Mappleton beach which is dog friendly and a lovely drive to Spurn Point. Beverly is a lovely town to visit. Lots of nice shops and restaurants. We will stay again at some point. .

A wonderful tranquil cottage, it was delightful to listen to and watch the birds in and around the pond. Colin was very friendly, full of advice about where to visit. It safe and secure for our dogs too. The cottage was cosy and comfortable especially the bed. It was fabulous to be able to sit outside eating and drinking while feeling relaxed and immersed in nature. We would have no hesitation in returning to Cottage in the Pond in the future, a delightful holiday.
