Overview
Property code: OC-R049

Perfect for a couple or solo traveller alongside their canine companion, enjoy stunning sea views from this traditional cottage in the heart of Robin Hood’s Bay.

This 17th-century, Grade-II listed, former butcher''s shop and fisherman''s cottage retains many wonderful original features, such as beamed ceilings and a stone fireplace, whilst offering all the modern comforts of home. Step off the quaint cobbled ginnel and into a welcoming open-plan living space with comfortable armchairs in front of a roaring wood burner and a well-equipped kitchen complete with everything you need to whip up a delicious meal. On the first floor, find an inviting lounge with plush leather sofas from which to take in the far-reaching sea views, and there''s a lovely open fireplace that''s sure to be popular with your furry friend. The modern shower room can also be found on this floor. Climb the stairs to the second floor and enter a charming, light-filled bedroom tucked under the sloping eaves of the roof. This dual-aspect room offers even more spectacular sea views from its elevated position. Though this property has no outdoor space of its own, there are plenty of green open spaces nearby, and the beach is a 150-metre stroll away.

Famed for its charming cobbled streets, old fishermen’s huts and sailors'' houses, Robin Hood’s Bay makes for a gorgeous holiday setting on the North Yorkshire Coast. The beach is dog friendly all year round and is a superb location for unearthing fossils at the base of the cliffs or around the rock pools that Rover will undoubtedly be keen to investigate too. For a walk to get tails wagging, join the Cleveland Way, which passes through the village, and take the lead to adventure towards magnificent coastal cliff-top scenery with plenty of exciting sights, sounds and smells for canine companions to investigate along the way. After all that activity, you and your hound will be in need of refreshment, and the village''s cafes, pubs and restaurants serve up indulgent cooked breakfasts, delicious light lunches and hearty pub grub. You''ll find that, at most establishments, four legs are as welcome as two!

Lovely, cosy cottage with everything we needed in the most perfect location and stunning sea views. Bonus parking spot too - extremely rare in RBH but the seagulls enjoyed using the car as target practice!! (...but that should be expected being literally 12ft from the seawall!!) The cottage was very well equipped, always felt very warm even on aRead more couple of very wet, cool days. The shower was excellent (always good before and after long days out and about). Bonus to have good Wifi and TV reception too. We ate pizza at the Smugglers which was fresh and delicious and steak at Brambles Bistro which was excellent - the Bordelaise sauce was to die for!! The cottage is great for 2 people and a small dog - we would highly recommend it but would advise that it is a very cosy and old cottage and therefore not necessarily built for tall people or those that may struggle with stairs. Also need to be a bit brave driving through the tight village roads and reversing down the hill from the parking bay. Be aware that other drivers will also be navigating or parking on the same roads so patience is a must! We hope to return one day as this is a great place to stay and enjoy everything that Robin Hoods Bay has to offer. Hide

Lovely, well equipped cottage in a great position in Lower Robin Hoods Bay. Fabulous views from the upstairs rooms, lots of quirky ornamental stuff throughout the property (as is the case in many of these cottages), stairs are easier than some we've been in, great kitchen, some nice 'welcome' goodies from the owners, excellent WiFi. Nothing notRead more to like, really. Hide

We had a wonderful time at your cottage, we were very relaxed and very comfortable. The actual location of the cottage was superb and would recommend to anyone. We had our own parking spot which was ideal as parking is very scarce, we just parked up and went everywhere on the bus. Great holiday.

Overall the cottage was very good. The upstairs lounge was particularly nice. The location is very good. There are a few areas that are a little tired - varnished table/work tops tend to get a bit sticky after cleaning, the bathroom cabinet door was very loose, shower caddy fell off, bathroom sink tap leaked (needs a new washer). One negative (not Read morethe fault of the owner) is in the car parking that is directly under a chimney which is a seagull perch. After less than two days the car was such a mess that it was impossible to see through the screen. We werent anticipating this so had very limited materials with which to clean the car for safe driving - advice beforehand and provision of a bucket to swill/wipe down the car would help. Hide

The cottage is beautiful, in a stunning location and with the unique bonus of a parking space - although the largely car-free nature of RHB is a huge plus. In a cottage of that age and so rambling, the odd cobweb or speck of dust wouldnt have been a surprise but it was immaculate. My only minor gripe would be that no soap is provided in the bathrooRead morem, a must for before youve had chance to unpack or after youve finished packing to leave. But otherwise, 10/10 Hide

The cottage was super cute and decorated in keeping with it. Never stayed anywhere that provided so many extras such as wood and coal for the fire, condiments etc and the basket with goodies in was a nice touch and there was even milk in the fridge. The views from the cottage were amazing, we certainly felt relaxed after our stay here.

Our only issues were the tv downstairs wasnt working, we did change the battery in the remote with no success, this was only a problem because we stayed with our dog and wanted to be downstairs with her , also when we arrived just after 4pm there was a car parked in our parking spot and two other cars behind it I tried nearby cottages with no luck Read more, so after I long journey we parked at the bottom and took the dog on the beach for a wee within 10 minutes or so we had a parking ticket, I appreciate that you cant control issues with other cars but it did put a dampener on the beginning of our stay Hide
