Housing traditional fishermen's cottages and a small selection of welcoming pubs and restaurants, Flamborough also has much to offer the rambler, historian and birdwatcher. There are spectacular cliffs, which form an eight mile stretch of Heritage coastline, and at Flamborough Head, stand two historic lighthouses, one of which is the oldest one in Britain, built in 1674. To the north of the village, the magnificent 400 feet high cliffs are home to one of the largest colonies of nesting sea birds in England.

The dog food should have been kept frozen but we had to let it all defrost in the fridge.

Everything was of top quality and we were able to thank the cleaner when we left for the great standard she had kept the bungalow in.

We had difficulty with the side door which was very stiff and difficult to lock or unlock. I could manage it once I discovered what to do but my wife really struggled. Strangely there was no key for the front door. Note that there is no broadband/wifi at this property.
