    We had a lovely stay.

  • Sarah Grimshaw

    Just returned from a week stay and we could have stayed for much longer! The barn is converted to a very high standard. It is clean and and very comfortable. Perfect for a family getaway! It has everything you need - we even managed to make a Sunday roast! The hot tub is lovely and the welcome treats for both humans and dogs went down very well. The location is also great for walking and the two local pubs are really friendly. Whitby and Saltburn is also a short drive away.We will highly be recommending this cottage and area to family and friends and we will return in the future without a doubt.
