“Had a lovely relaxing time, always wanted to stay in the bay and this did not disappoint.”

The cottage has lots of character and is lovely and cosy. We'll be back.

The self catering cottage was what we expected, a little tired in places but well clean, just the sofa and arm chair NO foam/padded left, and very uncomfortable after a day out/walking

- Mr Glibbery, September 2019
“I think visitors should be warned not to try driving down the extremely steep road that passes Martins Row which is on the left of this steep winding road.”

We got into real difficulties and it was only due to the kindness and expertise of a local resident that our car got up to the car park at the top of the hill I damaged.

- Mrs Gargano, August 2019
“Lovely to get there, have a carpark pass, wine and welcome tea etc.”

Handy not needing to take towels, hair dryer too. Really comfortable place

- Mr Chandler, June 2019
“The property is a little tired for the rate , also the photographs make it look much larger than it actually is.”

It was clean and comfortable but over priced

- Mr Taylor, May 2019
“A wonderful cottage in a lovely setting.”

We made use of the little book of guided walks that was in the very well equipped cottage. Definitely ten out of ten all round.

“This was a really nice place to stay, right in the middle of Robin Hood's Bay.”

It's less than 5 minutes walk to the sea or to the main street or you can take a short walk up the hill and get the bus over to Whitby (takes about 20 minutes). Robin Hood's Bay has plenty of places to eat and buy souvenirs and a local shop and post office for necessities (you can get cash from the post office too, which is useful as there are no cash machines). There is a small museum which is free but it's run by volunteers so the opening hours are limited and the beach was very nice on clear days but the highlight for us was the ghost walk which gives some good local history and was very entertaining. We were concerned with how close it was to one of the pubs (the Laurel is directly opposite but the entrance is around the other side of the street) but it wasn't particularly noisy and the pub closed at 11, the seagulls were more of a problem but you can't really escape them - if you are a light sleeper the earplugs are a must. The facilities were all good and well maintained, there is a kitchen fully stocked with all of things needed for self catering, the house is light and there are plenty of windows to open for air on warmer days. There is no wifi and mobile reception can be poor (we weren't able to get any signal at all in the house on EE; just managed to get BT wifi in the top room) so it's worth planning accordingly, although it was a nice break from the Internet and most of the cafes/pubs have access to free wifi. Overall we would definitely recommend staying here.

“Cute cottage in the perfect location to explore Robin Hoods Bay.”

Lots of nearby pubs and eateries. Well equipped cottage with everything you need.

- Mrs Lewis, June 2018
“The cottage was comfortable and very interesting to explore, it is built into the stone giving many interesting features.”

Be warned that when it states steep steps to the rooms, this is no exaggeration, especially to the top floor, where I slept. The conservatory on the second floor is lovely and cosy. A perfect space to complete our watercolours, started whilst out on the coastline. The cottage is at the bottom of a very steep hill and certainly a daily workout getting to the top. Felt exhilarated each time we reached the top. My first visit to Yorkshire and I don't think we could have found a more idyllic place to have stayed. The owners are lovely and helpful, as I needed to contact them prior to departure. Book a visit- you won't be disappointed.

“A lovely break in a quaint traditional holiday cottage with all the comforts of home.”

The welcome pack was a nice touch. The cottage was furnished in the traditional style with some quirky additions. A very cosy ,homely residence to relax in or have friends stay.

- Mrs England, December 2017
“As good as the Photo's suggest.”

Robin Hoods Bay is a place from History and a little bit of Heaven. This stunning Bay has amenities for most, Lovely Local Pubs, Good Ale and Food, Clean Public Toilets, and a Panoramic Bay that doesn't seem to have changed since my last visit as a child in 1947 / 8 / 9. Lot's of steep Pathways and lovely Cottages to see, if you are a walker. But the Bay as a whole, oozes peace. The Cottage was just lovely, the place we sometimes dream of retiring to. Everything was provided just needed to move in with some food from the little lovely local shop,(20 yards away), that seemed to have everything, from a Bucket & Spade to Newspapers, a wide range of Food, and run by lovely owners.

About the location

ROBIN HOOD’S BAY

Whitby 6 miles; Scarborough 17 miles.

Robin Hood's Bay, with its narrow cobbled streets and quaint cottages, is one of the most picturesque villages on the English coastline. Situated between Scarborough and Whitby, this charming old fishing village is to be found nestling at the edge of a wide sweeping bay backed by spectacular cliffs and dramatic moorland scenery, and was once home to author Leo Walmsley. All holidaymakers will love the beach and its cliff-top walks, whilst more serious walkers will enjoy the many long distance trails that pass through the Cleveland Way, the Lyke Wake Walk and the Coast to Coast walks which all take in Robin Hood’s Bay. The village amenities are superb, with charming alleyways to explore and plenty of places to rest, relax and take refreshment. A perfect base for enjoying the Yorkshire Coast.
