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.

Minstead Cottage is in a great location in the heart of Robin Hoods Bay, set on a very pretty row. We enjoyed our stay here and particularly liked the fact that it is a traditional fishermans cottage with a lot of history!

Really happy with the property and clear communication from company throughout about check in etc. There were a few minor niggles with the property- bedroom door handles falling off and door sticking (we wedged it open at night for fear of getting trapped in) and other doors with no proper closing fittings so had to wedge at night to keep draughts Read moreout. Also very cold on arrival so took nearly 24 hours to heat the house through, and fire not working throughout visit (although owner helpfully sent out caretaker to bleed radiator for us). Very well equipped unlike previously reviews suggested, beds lovely and comfortable. Perfect location and would definitely return in future. Hide

We really enjoyed our stay at Minstead Cottage. It was ideal for a short stay. It is in a good location being a short walk from the beach, local shops and cafes.
