We had a lovely short break in this cottage and would definitely recommend it. It was clean, comfortable and well equipped with everything most people would need. We were a party of just two adults and a dog, and the garden was perfect for our energetic Labrador. The nearby village of Loftus has a good selection of shops including a superb bakery with bread and cakes to die for. It is well located for day trips to Saltburn, Staithes, Whitby and the NY Moors, so plenty to see and do. We really enjoyed it, and would go back for another stay.
