Guests say

Craigmore is a well-regarded cottage with stunning sea views and a prime location for exploring Whitby and the beach.

While some guests noted areas for improvement, the overall experience is positive, with many looking forward to returning.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Most guests found the property to be clean, though there were comments about uncleaned grills and ovens, and dusty radiators. These seem to be isolated issues rather than a general problem.

The location is highly praised for its great views, proximity to the beach, and accessibility to local amenities. It is considered a great base to explore the coastline.

Guests find the beds and bedding comfortable, but there are mixed reviews about the comfort of the sofas and living room furniture.

The property is well-equipped, but some guests reported issues with showers, a downstairs toilet, and general maintenance needs. The kitchen is functional but noted as old.

There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

About this property

Enjoying an elevated position overlooking the sea and the coastal village of Sandsend, North Yorkshire, is this magnificent property, Craigmore. Affording unbeatable views and sought-after off-road parking, Craigmore provides a wonderful place to call home whilst holidaying on Yorkshire’s striking Heritage Coastline. Step inside and discover the kitchen, amply-equipped for home-cooking, whilst the separate dining room is perfectly formed for mealtimes. After a hearty meal, pop on the dishwasher and head to the lounge, complete with ample seating and a large window that provides a simply stunning vista. To get a better view, head outside to the multi-level garden, with a patio set at the top inviting alfresco dining, whilst there is more to explore further down. Make your way upstairs and find the bedrooms, offering two double rooms – one super king-size bed with zip/link beds, which can be arranged as a twin on request, a king size bed with dual aspect windows and a stunning view down the beach - and a pretty single room overlooking the woods.. You won’t have to worry about morning queues as Craigmore offers two bathrooms and a ground-floor shower room! Get to know your surroundings by having dinner at the Fish Cottage then heading to the Hart Inn for a cold beer or glass of wine. Lace up your walking boots and join the stunning Cleveland Way National Trail, spanning through beautiful landscape and scenery, head out onto the Yorkshire Moors, or on a warm day, pack up your seaside essentials and wander down to the award-winning beach, where you can kick back on the golden sands whilst the little ones build sandcastles and go rock pooling. Just a few miles along the beach (not at high tide!) is Whitby, where you can spend time strolling along the Whitby Harbour, soaking up history at Whitby Abbey, browsing the independent shops and art galleries or testing your golf swing at Whitby Golf Club. Slightly further along lies the seaside town of Scarborough, which is home to the famed Scarborough Castle, the Italian Gardens, and Peasholm Park, all of which are picturesque places to visit while enjoying a leisurely day by the sea. Towns worth visiting include Pickering and Malton. Choose Craigmore as your next base in North Yorkshire.

A charming bay, golden dunes, and a harbour can be found in Sandend, a little historical community that dates back to the 1600s. Sandend is one of the smallest fishing communities on the north east coast, but because of its close proximity to the larger communities of Portsoy and Cullen, it enjoys the good amenities offered there while maintaining a calmer and more serene atmosphere. Although Sandend town lacks stores and bars, it does have a fantastic smokery, so there is never a shortage of fresh fish, and towards the east end of Sandend Bay, the Glenglassaugh Distillery offers whisky tastings. The several charming fishing towns strewn along the north eastern coast, each of which has its own history and first-rate local amenities, are easily accessible from Sandend. Golfing, fishing, sailing, surfing, cycling, birdwatching, and beach strolling are other activities available in the vicinity. The beauty in this part of Scotland is breathtaking no matter the weather.

    Couldn't fault it.

    House has great views of the beach and towards the Abbey at Whitby. Brill sunrises and moon rises each day. House is well equipped with mostly all you would need. Could do with a bbq area and a grill pan in the kitchen grill. Living room sofas and chairs were not very comfy and rug in living room could be a trip hazard ( just wouldn’t stay in place). Bed rooms all comfy and slept right through every night. Upstairs could do with decorating following a leak in the main bedroom but we were warned about this prior to our stay. Owner very helpful and owned next door so was there for the first 2-3 days of our stay. Parking on site could be an issue for a nervous driver- we found ir best to reverse part way up the lane to park But there is parking in the village if you don’t mind a walk to the house Village itself was lovely. Pub doing food and a few cafes and a fish and chip takeaway/restaurant. No local shop to get daily bread, milk etc. Beach was busy most days and part dog friendly. Would stay again if we were inclined to travel that far again. 6-7 hr drive for us. Thanks for a great week……

    I enjoyed staying there so much that as soon as I got home I went on-line to book again for next year only to discover it is completely booked from the middle of April until the beginning of January 2006. Terribly disappointing. Just shows how popular it is.
