Overlooking a valley leading down to the sea, this delightful cottage is ideally situated both for exploring the coast and for discovering the stunning scenery of the North York Moors (3.5 miles). The tranquil village of Sandsend features a charming promenade, a sandy beach and some great places to eat and drink. The famous seaside town of Whitby – known for its connections to the Dracula story – is just along the coast (3 miles) and offers fine restaurants, independent shops and a ruined abbey. There are many other beautiful locations to discover including Staithes (7.5 miles), Runswick Bay (5.5 miles) and the lovely village of Robin Hood's Bay (8 miles), renowned for its stunning views and maze of cobbled streets.

The lounge makes an ideal space to relax in, with comfortable seating, a flame effect electric fire, TV and DVD.

There are two double rooms and a bunk bedroom which is perfect for children. There is also a bathroom complete with a shower over the bath and a WC.

 

Heading outside, the cottage offers two delightful gardens. You can enjoy your morning coffee on the bench to the front of the cottage which looks down over the village and towards the beach.

Booked in a hurry then saw previous reviews and was concerned so contacted Holiday Cottages and they spoke to the owner. I am pleased to say that we found the cottage in a clean condition. There is much to like but have to concur with earlier reviewers in that the owners need to undertake some maintenance and upgrading work. The location of the cotRead moretage is super and some TLC would make all the difference and bring the cottage up to the standard that you would expect for the price paid. Hide

Thank you for letting us stay at your cottage, we were lucky with the weather, and did have a nice busy week. The cottage is in a great location. We were pleased with comfy clean beds, the heating and hot water worked a treat, and we were grateful for the washing machine. We would like to recommend that some extra tlc, maintenance, and attention toRead more detail would give this cottage a better rating and reviews. We left it cleaner than we found it. Hide

Lovely little cottage in a fantastic location. Could be cleaner. Quite small. There wasnt any washing up liquid or soap of any type, eg bar of soap or hand wash at the sinks. No tea towel provided. This was the first property we have stayed in in Sandsend where welcome hamper of wine, snacks, bacon, egg etc was not available upon arrival. We did reRead moreceive some bread, butter and milk on day 2, left at the door under the bin lid. Some of the furnishings need updating. The double beds were small. Hide

What a shame that this cottage cleaning management is well below what we expected. The maintenance of the cottage was also a disappointment for us..On our first impression, it seemed OK but once you started to settle in it was evident that the cleaning wasn't took seriously..Externally there were discarded cig stubs on the front decking, the lower Read moreexternal covered sitting area wasn't clean with the brush broken which stopped us doing it.??? However, the raised sitting area was nice..just a shame Hide

We were a little concerned after reading a few reviews, there was no need, the cottage was lovely. The setting is absolutely beautiful and the cottage has everything you need for a beach/country holiday. The beds were really comfortable and big enough for our family of 4. The Wi-Fi is not great but only to be expected in its location.

The location of the property is excellent- superb views from front decking, beautiful back garden with handy covered eating area, easy access to the beach and local amenities. The cottage is very small, (4 adults was tight) but food and clothes storage would be improved with different arrangements, e.g. a full-sized rather than beer fridge in entraRead morence way. Lounge is attractive and comfortable but kitchen needs to be better equipped. We had to buy a cafetiere and had 1 wine glass between us! Hide
