Escape to the coastal village of Robin Hood’s Bay with six of your loved ones and stay at this characterful seaside retreat. Light and airy throughout, with a warming wood burner, a lavish freestanding roll-top bath, and sloped beamed ceilings, it will be hard to tear yourself away from this cottage to explore the many sights of North Yorkshire.

Step inside this charming cottage which is adorned with seaside decorative items throughout and has a wonderful open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Cuddle up in front of the wood burner in the pretty lounge space, watching films, playing games, or simply getting stuck into a good book. Cook up culinary delights in the compact but well-equipped kitchen and sit together around the dining table set in front of an exposed stone wall. When you are ready for some much-needed sleep, climb the stairs to the first floor which houses the master bedroom which has a king-size bed, and an en-suite shower room. A family bathroom is also situated on this floor which has a roll-top bath and walk-in shower room. The remaining two bedrooms are up on the second floor. One of these bedrooms has a king-size bed, and the other, twin beds.

Once a former smuggling village, Robin Hood’s Bay is set on clifftops overlooking the seaside. Head down the quaint little path (500 metres) leading down to the beach which is a hot spot for rock pooling. There are tonnes of walking routes that lead along the rugged coastline, such as the superb long-distance Cleveland Way National Trail. The historic town of Whitby is just 5.5 miles away, too, which has museums, eateries, and loads of independent shops.

Excellent location for Lily's cottage, great facilities provided throughout and the cottage is super clean. The sheets, bedding, pillows and mattresses were all of good quality and very comfortable for a lovely nights sleep. We had a great stay in Robin Hoods bay.

Really enjoyed our stay in Lillys Cottage, really nicely decorated with loads of character. A nice cozy living room to relax in after a day at the beach. Big roll-top bath in the family bathroom and a really good shower in the en-suite. Location is great, so close to the beach. Highly recommended.

Fabulous cottage in a fabulous location highly recommended. Easy walk down to the glorious beach. Robin Hood Bay is such a great place to stay for a week. Wish we couldve stayed longer! So many wonderful day trips to Whitby and Scarborough, etc. We also spent a couple of days in York and had a wonderful time there.

Lily's cottage is just wonderful. Everything has been thought of, from books and games to hairdryers, picnic baskets and spare pillows and bedding and the attention to detail is second to none. Everywhere you look there is something you hadn't noticed before, be it a seaside ornament on a little shelf coming down the stairs to ice cubes ready in thRead moree freezer. One lovely little touch was the warm welcome message from the owners, we always felt that there was someone there should we need it. Hide

Lilly's cottage is wonderfully located to fully enjoy Robin Hoods Bay. We had two toddlers who with our help were absolutely fine on the stairs. The stair gate provided was greatly appreciated too. All the lovely furnishings were so well thought out. We had a wonderful break and hope to return again in the future! Thank you!
