This is my second stay in the last couple of months. It's a great location near the 199 steps for the east pier & for walking along the beach or cliff top to Saltwick Bay, Robin Hood's Bay & Scarborough which I've done many times.

Excellent cottage as it’s just behind the cobbled Church Street & near the 199 steps which is handy to view the town & harbour. The Abbey, St Mary’s Church & Cemetery are all worth a visit at the top. The coastal path starts nearby where you can walk down to Robin Hood’s Bay & beyond. The cottage is all on one level so no tiresome stairs to climb it’s just what you need especially if you are in later life save the walking up steps for the 199. TV & Wi-Fi are excellent, phone reception was better by the front door. Top marks
