Mrs Brooker
Fabulous in every way. Cottage is beautifully maintained and has everything you could think of (plus some thoughtful extras!). Fantastic location and parking close by (absolute bonus at RHB). Best cottage we have stayed at here in over 25 years, great value and will definitely be re-booking.

This is a very traditional property in the heart of Robin Hoods Bay, it has fabulous sea views, I loved it. The parcel of goodies from the local shop was also a very nice touch. The parking area was close by the cottage which is always good news.
