Mrs Hynes
The blinds in the sitting room window do not work. They cannot be lifted down and the main blind cannot be opened or closed. The storage in the double bedroom is woeful. There is just a hanging rail in a cupboard with a four drawer narrow set of drawers. One of the drawers had clothing in it. About half the cupboard was filled with spare duvets, sheets, tea towels and some oven gloves.

Could not fault this cottage. Great village and cottage location right on the high street opposite best ice cream parlour and down from best fish and chips. Very short walk to beach and total relaxation. All necessary facilities in the cottage and a lovely welcome pack. Thank you for letting us stay.

Lovely comfortable cottage in the heart of beautiful Aldebrough town. We were grateful for the lovely welcome pack and the home comforts. We will be rebooking again next year. We live in France and it was the perfect place to meet up and spend the day with friends. Loved it.
