Mr Coward
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.

Mrs Seager
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.
