The property was as expected - home from home, clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed sitting in the garden and enjoying watching the wildlife and we also loved the views from the dining room. We walked the headland, and visited Danes Dyke and Bempton Cliffs, which were all in close proximity to the cottage. We would definitely return to this property as we had a brilliant week.

Very spacious cosy bungalow in a prime position with stunning sea views. One of the best cottages we have stayed in, it had everything we needed. We were sorry to leave.
