The cottage is repeatedly referred to as cosy and comfortable, with a warm atmosphere and a well-received open fire. Some guests mention the bed and mattress could be reviewed, but overall, the comfort level is rated highly.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-appointed kitchen and reliable WiFi. However, some guests note areas that appear 'tired' and minor maintenance issues like a leaky tap and a non-functioning TV, suggesting room for improvement.
The thoughtfulness of the hosts is evident in the provision of welcome treats and essentials like milk, which guests find delightful. While these extras are much appreciated, it is noted that such gestures are subject to change and may not be guaranteed for every stay.

I've stayed in several cottages in Robin Hoods Bay. This cottage has everything, the views are amazing, the car parking space makes life a lot easier. The kitchen is very well equipped and had everything I needed. I was really impressed with the shower room it was clean and the shower had good pressure (theres a good view from the loo as well). I wish it had been cool enough to light the fire. A fantastic cottage and I booked for next year as I was staying there.

A lovely cottage with great views and location with plenty of choice for eating and drinking out and a nearby store. A great base for walking from or visiting further afield.
