Mr Guthrie
Property is in a good position and has a parking space which is useful in RHB. Otherwise it’s looking quite tired and in need of a refresh. No working microwave when we arrived and it wasn’t replaced until 2 days later. Property is advertised for 6 people but only space for 5 on the sofas in the lounge? No towels provided. In my opinion should not be graded as 4 star, we have stayed in much better properties.

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The house was brilliantly positioned in Robin Hood's Bay, and the views from the bedroom window were fantastic - I even spotted dolphins swimming by one morning! Very handy to have a parking space. Very comfortable, and had everything I needed. Would definitely return.

Great location for Robin Hoods Bay and surrounding areas. Such a convenience to have parking outside. Having 2 bathrooms plus a separate WC is great when there are a few of you although as noted in the details I would not recommend for 6 adults
