Loved the peace and quiet

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

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!
