Conservatory at the cottage had nice views over fields and we were lucky enough to see the northern lights. Also at night we saw meteor showers which we enjoyed. Charlie the horse and Delilah the donkey were really great. My daughter loved feeding them carrots. The most generous welcome pack weve ever had from the hosts. Thank you. Great walks all round the area. Love the beaches which are a few mins away by car and you can take your pick of. A fair choice of places to eat and honeypot local or drive to flixton or filey was our choice. Although the cottage location allows you easily to pick brid, flamborough or filey. Cottage was value for money and we would stay again

Hunmanby Gap is a superb beach although there is a bit of a hike down from the car park. There is a cafe close by for light lunches which was very welcome. The cottage itself is a little run down and could do with a deep clean. Clothes storage was challenging as the drawers in the bedrooms are also used for bed linens. They could have been stored in a chest in the store cupboard off the kitchen However the garden is large and lovely for dogs. A BBQ would have been very welcome as would a tumble drier. A bottle of bubbly and a basket full of goodies went down well. Parking is easy outside on the road.

2 Station Cottage. Comfortable and spacious. Excellent location, very peaceful. Especially loved the neighbours in the field, Charlie and Hardy (horses) and Delilah, the donkey who came for their carrotts every day. Lovely welcome package. We will definitely come back.
