Jytte
It was warm and cosy with a wonderful big bed and great shower facility. There was butter, milk, bread and eggs as a welcome pack for us, which were fantastic. There's a pub just opposite the cottage with lovely home comfort food. You have easy access to the beaches up along the Yorkshire coastline, such as Hornsea, Bridlington, Filey and Whitby and so on. We had a very relaxing and lovely week.

Also plenty of room. Everything you need is provided and quality items including the bedding. Netflix was welcomed and a welcome pack was very much appreciated. It included milk, eggs, bread, jam, butter, biscuits, coffee, teabags, sugar and sweeteners. It also has a lovely courtyard with allocated parking spaces and seating. If only there was a little private garden for the dogs to enjoy and use the toilet ( which we would be more than happy to clean after use as we do at home) it would be 100% perfect. This wouldnât stop us from staying again though, we will definitely be back! Chrysta is a lovely lady and welcomed us when we arrived, she then left us to enjoy our break and told us where she was if we needed her. Thank you Chrysta.
