"Our second visit here, the cottage is clean, well equipped amd well located - just a 5 min walk into town or the Railway Chippy up the hill."
An added bonus is the car parking at the rear which for this cottage is literally by the door. No steam trains passing by due to the fire risk - in fact trains are fairly few and far between! Only slight issue was the shower which was very stiff to operate at times, probably just needs a bit of TLC.

It was home from home! Extremely clean, nice bright and modern and the beds were extremely comfortable and the bedding was great quality.
It no longer has a bath as the photos show, it has a huge walk in shower which is so much easier and loved that feature.
A five minute walk into town with a guaranteed private car parking space. Just absolutely brilliant and couldn’t fault anything. I spoke with the owner directly and she was beyond helpful. Would 100% recommend crossing cottage and can’t wait to go back!
Our welcome hamper was so thoughtful! All the facilities you need were included, from tea, coffee & sugar .. to tea towels, bathroom towels, bed linen.

Just a few minutes walk to all local amenities. Lots of lovely places to eat although recommend booking table at busy times. Lovely walk to ruswarp along the train tracks with a pub or cafe at the end.

"Excellent cottage in a great location."
The decor and furnishings are all first rate, little extras such as tea bags, milk, sugar etc were all supplied and a big plus is the allocated parking. It's close to the town but far enough away to be nice and quiet, there are trains passing the door but only 5/6 services a day so even if trains are not your thing there's not enough of them to be a problem.
Tip: For a "real" chip shop try the Railway Chippy, in a row of terraces up the hill from the cottage, good value and great quality - and eating them in the cottage overlooking the harbour is hard to beat!
