We had a lovely time on holiday in Captain's Retreat. The house was equipped with everything you could possibly need. The house was very comfortable and clean. We were given an anazing welvome basket which was a lovely surorise. The location was perfect for a family with children of different ages as there was so much to do in the holiday village, keeping everyone happy. It is just a nice 10 minute walk to the lovely sandy beach. Its only a short drive to Filey, Scarborough and Bridlington which have plenty to occupy everyone!We would recommend Captain's Retreat and would love to visit again.
