However, the extractor fan didn't work very well, every time we used the oven, it sat off the smoke alarm which made cooking very stressful. The shower doesn't have a shower screen or curtains, so we had to duck inside the bathtub, in order not to splash water everywhere. The internet was painfully slow. However, these are just minor issues, we would still recommend this little cosy house.

The owners have furnished the property with good quality furnishings. There is an excellent bus service from the bus stop just 2 mins walk from the property to Whitby, Middlesbrough and Guisborough. The local shops are excellent.
