  • Dennis

    Such a relaxing retreat. You have thought of everything….making the place so comfortable and home from home. (Loving the kitchen bin….took me a day to realise it worked by sensor….genius!) Especially enjoyed sitting out on the balcony upstairs (so lucky with the weather)…it was so tranquil. Recommend the cinder track walk along the top of the viaduct into Whitby; Trencher’s chippie in Whitby, Robin Hood’s Bay, Staithes, Hare & Hounds (YO22 4LH), delicious Sunday lunch at nearby Bridge Inn (YO21 1NJ). The welcome hamper was a lovely bonus. We will definitely be back.
