Just be aware that there is a low beam between two rooms. We liked the chalkboard with recommendations of places to visit, we would add Wiseguys in Bridlington as a place to eat as the food was plentiful and very good. The location of the property was ideal for exploring the nearby towns, cities and coast. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in beautiful North Yorkshire and would definitely return as there is so much to see and do. The owner we found very friendly and helpful.

We were a couple and two teenagers, you wouldnât want to go anymore people than that comfortably. Owner lives right behind you, nice guy, but not an arrangement mentioned when booking.

The owner was very helpful when we got lost due to the closure of a bridge, he was also very helpful when my son wanted to take the family out without having to take the dog with them. Just a very small point, could you supply either a mitt or pair of gloves to use for the log burner, to open the door when putting another log in.
