Overview
Property code: OC-R563

An enticing retreat, this delightful cottage is tucked away in Robin Hood’s Bay’s older quarter. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom retreat is only 150 metres from the beach, where you can paddle, potter in rock pools and look for fossils. Head out on long walks along this stretch of the North Yorkshire Heritage Coast or find inland footpaths to take you across the moors. Dine out in the cafes and pubs of the former fishing village or have a day out to Whitby, 5.5 miles away, where there is a wider selection of eateries, as well as galleries, boutiques and shops selling locally produced fresh food items. Also enjoy the many seaside attractions of Whitby and visit its famous abbey.

Cross the courtyard to enter this welcoming holiday cottage. Head through to the kitchen/diner to make a cup of tea and unpack your locally bought provisions. Whip up tasty meals in here to enjoy at the breakfast bar. Wander through to the lounge to watch TV together on cosy nights in. The family bathroom is also downstairs. Head up to the first floor to find a double bedroom, with TV/DVD, and a single room, with pull-out single bed underneath, TV and en-suite shower in alcove.

There is no outside space with this cottage, but the beach is quick to reach when you wish to relax out in the fresh air.

A presentable cottage, but lacking in certain areas. Little improvements could make a big difference - new mattress and bedding, an electric kettle, comfy sofa, more accessible tv, an improved bathroom. But for the money not bad.

Overall we loved our little stay here. A very cosy, comfortable, and warm cottage nestled within Robin hoods bay. We never had any issues with getting cold as the cottage warmed up lovely. Great to be able to have a nice hot bath after a days walk and also a very large smart TV in the living room for those night time film binges! After reading otheRead morer reviews on different websites, I would disagree with some. This cottage was great for myself and my partner and we would happily return. We could see it has been decorated recently too. Perhaps some touch ups needed but nothing major. A couple of things mentioned to the owner when we first arrived, such as the fridge light not working, however a fast and prompt response was provided and the situation was resolved. Thank you for having us, and as for comfort, location, and value for money - it was excellent in our opinion. We hope to be back! :) Hide

Robin Hoods Bay is a lovely place to spend a few days. There is a lovely feel about the place with all its lovely cottages along quaint streets and passages. This particular cottage is priced a bit too high for its amenities and decor. It has been cheaply and it seems hastily decorated to be rented out. It is not up to standard decorating wise Read more(unfinished tatty paintwork) to be let out. Hide
