This is a very traditional property in the heart of Robin Hoods Bay, it has fabulous sea views, I loved it. The parcel of goodies from the local shop was also a very nice touch. The parking area was close by the cottage which is always good news.

We had a lovely stay at St.Peter's Cottage. It was our 2nd year visiting the Property, and we really enjoyed ourselves again. There is everything at the Cottage to make your stay relaxing and it is in a great location to be able to visit the local hostelries and restaurants. Robin Hoods Bay is the perfect holiday location, and ideally situated for visits to Whitby and Scarborough. We also ventured to the NYMR and enjoyed the Steam train journey to Pickering.
