Robin Hoods Bay is a lovely place to spend a few days. There is a lovely feel about the place with all its lovely cottages along quaint streets and passages. This particular cottage is priced a bit too high for its amenities and decor. It has been cheaply and it seems hastily decorated to be rented out. It is not up to standard decorating wise (unfinished tatty paintwork) to be let out.

Minstead Cottage is in a great location in the heart of Robin Hood’s Bay, set on a very pretty row. We enjoyed our stay here and particularly liked the fact that it is a traditional fisherman’s cottage with a lot of history!
