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!

Really happy with the property and clear communication from company throughout about check in etc. There were a few minor niggles with the property- bedroom door handles falling off and door sticking (we wedged it open at night for fear of getting trapped in) and other doors with no proper closing fittings so had to wedge at night to keep draughts out. Also very cold on arrival so took nearly 24 hours to heat the house through, and fire not working throughout visit (although owner helpfully sent out caretaker to bleed radiator for us). Very well equipped unlike previously reviews suggested, beds lovely and comfortable. Perfect location and would definitely return in future.
