A few minor issues which the owner is addressing for future occupants but nothing to detract from our lovely peaceful stay.

Short walk to Whitby. With the added bonus of having private parking. All of the following has been said before in reviews - bathroom and toilet taps are difficult to turn on and off. Bed is uncomfortable. To make it properly dog-friendly a fence around outside area would be good.
