“The cottage was brilliant, exactly what we were looking for.”

It was a traditional fisherman's cottage, the little extras that the owner had put in made it even more special

Mr Stockdale September 2020

“Earlier check out was inconvenient, 9am on a Sunday doesn't really offer much in terms of enjoyment, accepted that cottage needs to be cleaned but it is a small cottage, we bagged a lot up, and check in is 4pm for next person.”

Also, settee and chair may need replacing. Otherwise, location, cleanliness, facilities, welcome pack, were great. It's a small, quirky, older cottage but that's the charm in a way, and we enjoyed it.

- Mr Stockdale, September 2020
Miss Wilson November 2019

“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
Mrs Gargano August 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
Mr Chandler June 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
Mr Taylor May 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
Ms Craig July 2018

“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.

- Ms Craig, July 2018
Mr Jones June 2018

“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.

- Mr Jones, June 2018
Mrs Lewis June 2018

“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
Miss Williams May 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.

- Miss Williams, May 2018
Mrs England December 2017

“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
Mr Mclure October 2017

“Lovely cottage in a great location.”

Quirky and quaint. We had a cosy weekend of long walks and evenings by the fire.

- Mr Mclure, October 2017
Ms Leaman August 2017

“We had a fantastic stay in Robin Hood's Bay - a beautiful location.”

The cottage, was very well situated in a lovely little street and extremely close to all local amenities. A wonderful combination of beaches and moors.

- Ms Leaman, August 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.

- LightPacker705917, June 2017
Miss Rossi March 2017

“Perfect location.”

A wonderful relaxing holiday.Not a complaint but WiFi would have been a bonus but did not spoil our holiday in any way.

- Miss Rossi, March 2017
Mrs Lewis February 2017

“The location of this property is perfect.”

It is an amazing little house full of quirky charm. It was warm and comfortable (we used it in February) and had everything we needed for a week away.

- Mrs Lewis, February 2017
Miss Carter November 2016

“Only one small point, it would be useful if there was a light outside the property as due to the location it was really dark at night.”

- Miss Carter, November 2016
Miss Davies October 2016

“Just a very small niggle, really.”

.. I wonder if the cupboards in the kitchen/seating area could be organised so that there is space to store food provisions? Maybe loose a few items of crockery? We had to stack tins, veg etc on the side and on the dining table - nothing massively wrong with this - just made the lovely space look/feel cluttered. Overall though, we loved the cottage: it was very clean, warm and cosy, with some lovely touches to make it feel homely. We also loved the quirkiness of the layout both inside and out.

- Miss Davies, October 2016
Mrs Sargent May 2016

“Had a superb holiday.”

The accommodation was lovely - full of character and very well equipped with all manner of crockery and cutlery. The house was very warm and we loved the little conservatory area. Although we had good weather and didn't need to use it to shelter from the rain, it was a lovely light place to sit after a day out - and great for me as I like to crochet and need good light for that. We will really miss our little bolt hole in the Bay.

- Mrs Sargent, May 2016
Mr Oakes February 2016

“The cottage was exactly as we hoped and was very comfortable and homely.”

Just about everything was perfect, we had a thoroughly enjoyable stay and will definitely come back.

- Mr Oakes, February 2016
Mr McIlduff November 2015

“We had an excellent week, 4 Martins Row is right in the middle of Robin Hoods Bay, The bright conservatory meant that you felt you were outside in all weathers.”

Excellent pub next door called The Laurel Inn. Fantastic coastal walks to Roscar and Whitby.

- Mr McIlduff, November 2015
Mrs Swindells October 2015

“We had an amazing holiday!”

Robin hoods bay was everything and more. We came home feeling refreshed and relaxed, cant wait to visit again.

- Mrs Swindells, October 2015
Miss Wynne August 2015

“The cottage is cosy and felt very much a home from home.”

Very clean and there was everything you could think of! The cottage had great quirky characteristics and the children loved being on the top floor. We definitely would return and are thinking of even returning in the winter!

- Miss Wynne, August 2015
Mr Baird July 2015

“We had a great time in Robin Hood's Bay.”

The cottage was perfect for our needs and the children particularly enjoyed sleeping in the bedroom at the top of the house. We had hot, sunny weather for the two weeks we were there and found the conservatory and outdoor area a nice extra bit of space.

- Mr Baird, July 2015
Mrs Westmoreland May 2015

“The cottage was in an ideal location and we loved every minute of our stay!”

Would definitely recommend!

- Mrs Westmoreland, May 2015
Mr Briddon March 2015

“The cottage was perfect for us.”

Everything we needed was to hand, and it was in the perfect location. Didn't need to use the car for the duration, which was brilliant.

- Mr Briddon, March 2015
Mrs Tetlow October 2014

“The location of the cottage was ideal for exploring the village.”

We especially loved the quirkiness of the property, and thought the conservatory area was a real bonus. The property was very well equipped indeed. The beds were very comfortable, and the heating in the cottage was highly efficient. On the occasions I had to speak to the owner, we found him extremely friendly and helpful. The welcome pack was very welcome too. Definitely would re-visit.

- Mrs Tetlow, October 2014
Ms Brown August 2014

“The cottage was lovely and the location couldn't have been better.”

- Ms Brown, August 2014
Mrs England July 2014

Had a lovely holiday made even better by the glorious sunshine.

- Mrs England, July 2014
Mrs Fearn May 2014

“The cottage was adorable; very comfortable, cosy and atmospheric and located in a great spot for Robin Hood's Bay (half way up/down the hill).”

There was plenty of bedding, and hot water bottles in case the weather turned. The cottage is a proper fisherman's cottage and does have very steep stairs to the bedrooms.

- Mrs Fearn, May 2014
Mrs Thorpe April 2014

“A beautiful place.”

The cottage is in a great location in Robin Hood's Bay and is very quirky and comfortable.

- Mrs Thorpe, April 2014
Mrs Grundy February 2014

- Mrs Grundy, February 2014
Mr Caygill January 2014

“Great location, cosy cottage, fortunate with the weather.”

It is really worth visting Robin Hood's Bay in the off-season!

- Mr Caygill, January 2014
Mr Butler November 2013

“Lovely cottage right in the centre of the village.”

I definitely think I will try to get the same cottage next time we go there.

“Stunning location and the house was excellent”

- Mrs Rawlinson, July 2013
Mr Bradley June 2013

“Obviously the location is important and the relative seclusion the cottage offers, both being just as we expected.”

It was a pleasant surprise to find the welcome pack and a parking permit to cover the stay. The little conservatory area was a perfect place to read when the weather forced a retreat back to the accommodation....nice and light!

- Mr Bradley, June 2013
Mrs Sawyer April 2013

“The cottage was quaint and adequate to accommodate 4 people.”

We enjoyed having a glass of wine in the conservatory with a pleasant views. It was situated perfectly within the bay and very quiet. The instruction booklet gave good information, and the welcome basket was gratefully received.

- Mrs Sawyer, April 2013
