We had a lovely few nights here.Host was very communicative (absolutely take his recommendation on fish and chip restaurant) and available in case there were any problems- we didn't have any problems. The pictures and listing are very accurate- it is as cosy as it looks so I'd recommend bringing a suitcase/bag that will slide under a bed and make sure you and anyone you are brining with actually like each other.The setting is isolated enough to switch off from the world yet close enough for day trips to Scarborough, Whitby and robin hood bay. The hot tub is a lovely way to wind down in an evening. There is wifi, its mostly good enough to stream (there's a roku tv on the wall), but its remote enough that everyone's going to presume you don't have signal and you can ignore the outside world. Surprisingly good hot water supply for this type of property!Great stay, we would definitely come again

A cosy little hut with its own hot tub, tucked away in a really peaceful and secluded setting. It’s close enough to drive to the coast, but feels wonderfully away from everything. The accommodation is rustic and has the things you need for a comfortable stay. The hut is quite small, with not a huge amount of storage, but it still felt cosy and welcoming. Ideal for a quiet break for two. The bed was very comfortable and the hot tub was lovely. We really enjoyed our short stay, and the communication with the owner was excellent.
