A lovely stroll along the beach brings you to Sandsend, a tiny village with some excellent tea rooms overlooking the sea, whilst a little further north, lie Runswick Bay and Staithes, both well worth exploring.

Previous visitors' comments about Holmlea:

The location was good for arranging walks. Cottage was warm and cosy with a lot of history.
Mrs Pilkington, Belper, September 2012

Very peaceful location, ideally situated to explore the North Yorkshire coast. Quirky cottage with plenty of character.
Mrs Jacques, Sheffield, September 2012

The cottage was cosy and quiet. We were able to visit lots of places of interest as it was so central. The cottage had everything that we needed - there was even foil and cling film provided!
Mrs Caunt, Grantham, July 2012

Very peaceful, had a nice rest. Would book again with Sykes.
