Spent three nights in this lovely little cottage not far from Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay. Cottage was small but well equipped for us and our two dogs The host was informative and welcoming with good communication Added bonus was the enclosed field which we were allowed to use to let the dogs off Loved the extra little touches of dog towel , treats
