The cottage is superbly equipped with everything needed for a relaxing break, especially the kitchen which has everything a cook could need. The location is ideal for exploring the many delightful villages on the moors and nearby coastal destinations.

We stayed at the cottage for a week. It is a beautiful house and has everything you need for a very comfortable stay. It was very cosy and warm which was good for some of the cooller eves in March. There is a lot to do in the area and we would definitely go back, so we can explore some of the places we didn't get time to visit. It is very close toRead more Whitby, the coast and the moors. Hide
