The popular coastal resort of Scarborough, just eleven miles away, makes a great day out for enjoying some traditional seaside fun such as sandcastle building, paddling in the sea and strolling along the promenade with an ice cream in hand.

Ideal setting for walkers and dog owners. The cinder path is directly behind the property.

We only used the car once during our 4 night stay as straight onto the cinder path from the cottage. Owner sent us an information pack before we arrived with useful maps of walks. We also enjoyed relaxing by the log burner in the evenings. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a peaceful few days away.

Beautifully presented and excellently equipped, the log burner made for some really cosy evenings. Brilliant location to walk to Robin Hoods Bay via the Cinder Track or Cleveland Way. Cottage is remote so lovely and peaceful and relaxing. Because of this, the track to get to the cottage is very narrow at times. I would struggle to drive down there but my boyfriend didnât find this an issue. We loved our stay and would return.
