Perfect cottage in a wonderful location right next to the beach. Loved the cosy, seaside feel. Very spacious bedrooms, brilliantly equipped - everything has been thought of. Pub, cafes and restaurants within a few minutes walk - all great. We loved the book about the history of the property. Would love to come back again.

Lovely cottage, cosy and nicely decorated. Everything super comfy, especially the beds, we all slept so well. The proximity to the beach ad at high tide crashing waves was fabulous, but the perfect location being tucked away from the front or barrage of wind and waves. It felt like coming home to our own little secret hideaway- and I have to say, sRead moreimply switching on a cosy fire and not having to build one was a treat too. The cottage was quicky cosy and warm. We didn't find the stairs an issue at all, in fact they added to the sense of adventure. The views from the top windows are beaut and if you are lucky - you can watch the mesmirising show of the high tide waves from the dining table. Local eateries and walks did not dissappoint, but we also found the bus hop to Whitby great as were short drives to neighbouring villages, beaches and towns. Our first stay at this cottage and to Sandsend, and we loved it. Hide

The cottage was comfortable and within easy reach of sea. However the stairs within the cottage were dangerous and very hard for over 70 year olds to climb. I think this should be clearer in the original description of cottage. Anyone with mobility issues however slight, or older people or very young children should be warned.

A lovely little cottage in a great position in Sandsend. The stairs to the bedrooms are very steep so not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. We were there with 2 children so no problem for us!

Lovely being so near the sea. A beautiful cottage, well equipped and beautifully decorated. The only bugbear being the lack of direct parking. We naively thought the complimentary parking cards were for the car park 100 m away and incurred a 50 fine!!! This, however, has not put us off staying again, perhaps in October when parking is free as we loRead moreved Sandsend and had a lovely short break and want to come again. Hide
