We really enjoyed it.
Carol
The beds were very comfortable and so was the seating in the lounge. We all had a wonderful holiday, visiting Whitby and Sandsend by bus, which saves having to find a parking space in busy weeks, and Runswick Bay itself is a very picturesque village. I would definitely book here again
Andrew
Location is also fantastic, less than a 10 minute walk to the beach (although it is a very steep hill!).
