We enjoyed our stay at The Old Dairy. The property had everything we needed and it was a quiet location with the basics you need for a holiday retreat close by such as a Co-op and a couple of pubs / restaurants. The Mad Alice bar was good for a couple of pints with a friendly but sometimes loud atmosphere and The Reunion Bar was good for food. We took our teenage children to both. Our favourite spots were Sandsend, Saltburn, Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay. Loftus has some good and bad points but a good base for exploring the area. The Old Dairy could do with some updating and freshening up decor wise, repairs to blinds and windows and the front porch could benefit from a clean and a plant or pots with flowers would be more welcoming. Just a bit more attention to detail. On a positive note, the beds were comfy with nice clean linen and lovely thick towels. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything we needed.
