Nice cottage in an excellent location. Within walking distance to Robin Hoods Bay. Short drive to Whitby. Quiet and comfy cottage. Well equipped, though a pint of milk in the fridge on arrival would have been nice after a very long drive. So many empty cupboards in the kitchen, perfect space for a small dishwasher. No problems with parking on the road. This part of Yorkshire has amazing views and scenery.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The property is very well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing break. It’s a great size, offering plenty of space so you’re not on top of each other. It’s also a lovely walk into town and to the Cinder Track.If you’re bringing a dog, please bear in mind that the garden isn’t attached to the house or secured. The yard directly outside the back door belongs to the neighbours, and the garden for this property is located off to the right.

We had a lovely stay at The Haven. Lots of space, airy, nicely decorated, and great for kids. My son loved it. Although weather didn't permit on our visit, the garden looked lovely to spend time in. We would definitely stay again.
