We had a lovely stay. The cottage was amazingly well equipped and clean. When we arrived there was a pint of milk in the fridge and half a dozen eggs waiting for us which was lovely. Thr cottage does have wifi which we had wanted as we have teens and one of them had a live webinar booked for uni while we were away but the wifi was too slow so he had to miss it. Really lovely cotrage and would stay again.

Such a tranquil spot on a quiet lane, which was a welcome retreat to return to after the hustle and bustle of Whitby. Lovely comfortable house and gardens, delightful hosts, and alpaca feeding an added bonus! Many thanks Pauline and Bob

This is a lovely place to stay, a real home from home. Close to Whitby beach and Abbey also a 40 min drive to Scarborough. Clean, tidy and very comfortable. The eggs and milk were a lovely touch. We are definitely going to go again

Lovely quiet property close to Whitby
We had a great short break to visit the area and the goth weekend. The cottage was perfect for our needs and Pauline and Bob were very helpful. The kids loved feeding the alpacas! Easy walk to the park and ride to get a bus into Whitby, and a 5 minute drive to beautiful Sandsend to enjoy the beach. We hope to be back!

Thanks Pauline!
I booked the wrong week like a moron. Pauline was still able to accommodate even though I didn’t notice until about noon the day we arrived. It’s a very well done barn conversion. It was great having an enclosed yard for the dog. You can’t beat the price and we even got to feed the alpacas.
