In an excellent position for easy walking access to the Cleveland Way and The Cinder Track.Excellent off road parking, secure large garden for the dog.A large property with ample space for 6 people - the downstairs layout offers lots of sitting areas as well as outside patio seating. The upstairs layout is quite quirky with several steps between bedrooms and bathroom.Clean and well equipped.An excellent base for exploring the coast and moors.A comfortable house to return to after a day exploring or just to chill and take in the countryside setting.Recommend.

3rd visit! This is a great property in a great location with lovely views and we will definitely be back for further visits. The house is large and has everything you need.There were just a couple of niggles this time. We have noticed that the property is a bit tired and could do with a refresh. There are a few holes in the walls that have been there since the first time we visited a few years ago that wouldn’t take much to fix and there are several cracked floor tiles in the kitchen.We also missed the lovely ‘welcome basket’ of treats which we did not receive this time. Also, the visitor book has been removed which is a shame as it helps to give other visitors ideas and tips about the surrounding area.Overall, it is still a great property that we would be happy to return to and would recommend to others.
