“Cottage immaculate.”

Seemed to have been recently re furbished and very clean. We enjoyed staying in Sandsend. Much calmer than whitby. We ate in the pub and can recommend it. 2 problems. The fridge is very small and there is no freezer, only an ice box in the fridge itself. It's a cottage for 5 and really needs a decent freezer. The postcode sends you into whitby. Apparently there are duplicate addresses and postcodes. So if relying on a satnav make sure you are directed to sandsend! Overall, really enjoyed our ...

“Front of property upon arrival boded for what was inside, mopleft at front of property all week.”

Bedrooms good, shower very hot or cold, difficult to work. No instructions re appliances. Lounge furniture needs upgrading. Kitchen, flooring coming up, drains smell awful in the kitchen, we could not clear it. Only cottage I have visited where I did not want to actually cook. Cottage could do will a good bottoming (cleaning that it). Overpriced. Shame great location. Pictures of cottage don't reflect actuality.

“The cottage was smaller and more worn than we expected.”

It was quite hard work with a golden retriever as we were constantly stepping over her. it would be very hard work with 5 people in the house. The kitchen is not really big enough to cater for 5. The fridge is small. The photos suggest it is quiet smart when in fact it is tired and in need of a coat of paint. We also saw the building to the rear on google sat view and called to query what it was before booking. We were told it was nothing to worry about and not used. It is a house effectively in the back garden and lived in full time. We would not have booked had we know. We also called to find out if there was a hair dryer in the premises and were told not. There was, suggesting a lack of knowledge of the property. The sea view from the lounge is totally blocked when you park the car on the small parking area at the front. The best thing about this cottage was the location. Sandsend is a lovely village with good cafe and pubs. having the beach at the bottom of the road was great. We would say the cottage was slightly below average and not worth the cost.

“The location of this cottage is fabulous!”

You can hear the sea from the garden, it’s literally a 2 minute walk to the beach. A beautiful area, cottage was really comfortable and spotless.

“The cottage is very well equipped although I could not seem to find an ice cube tray for my G&T!”

The cottage was very clean overall. Rigg Cottage has been a haven of calm and comfort after the Christmas festivities. It's location, equipment and decor are excellent. Far enough off the main road to be quiet but near to the beach, walks and pub to be ideal. So glad we booked it.
