The views from the kitchen / living space over the hills were beautiful! There was a lovely walk right from the front gate and with it being less than a 10 minute drive away from Saltburn we made the most of lots of coastal walks too. Perfect location and easy to get to. The front garden was nice and secure for the dogs. And it was lovely and warm inside the chapel too which was so welcoming after a cold day walking! Canât wait to return.

Home from home comforts, clean, cosy sofas and beds. Kitchen well stocked to cook everything you want, spacious and great for dogs, peaceful and not to far from any shops, lovely views and the chapel was lovely and warm. Would definitely love to come back. One of the loveliest places I've stayed.
