    “We enjoyed our autumnal few days by the sea.”

    The location was right for us with excellent bus service. Pub was closed during the week. Shame. The Ellerby was a suitable alternative. The cottage was cosy, lovely log burner, but we couldn't find the key to the shed for more logs. For heath and safety, an anti-slip bath mat for the shower upstairs is required and I agree, another stair handrail would be good; the stairs are a little steep.

    The location was right for us with excellent bus service. Pub was closed during the week. Shame. The Ellerby was a suitable alternative. The cottage was cosy, lovely log burner, but we couldn't find the key to the shed for more logs. For heath and safety, an anti-slip bath mat for the shower upstairs is required and I agree, another stair handrail would be good; the stairs are a little steep. I also agree that the front door lock was awkward. On arrival we nearly rang the helpline until we realised the top key turned anti clockwise which I hadn't expected. The door handle then needed a shake and a little push. After a long journey it was disconcerting. Double glazed windows would not only help prevent the condensation but also help reduce energy costs.

About the location

RUNSWICK BAY

Staithes 2 miles; Whitby 9 miles; Saltburn-by-the-Sea 10 miles.

The historic fishing village of Runswick Bay is without doubt one of the true gems of the Yorkshire Coast, if not the whole of the UK. This picturesque SE-facing village situated 9 miles from Whitby sits in a beautiful sheltered sandy-beached bay backed by spectacular cliffs and moorland scenery. Relatively un-commercialised and with vehicular traffic restricted, the village provides the perfect setting in which to relax and unwind. Relish in taking long walks on either the sandy beach or along the Cleveland Way on the clifftop above. There is much to do in the local area, whether it's visiting Whitby with its famous Abbey, Staithes with its pretty shops, cafes and superb art gallery, or touring the dramatic North York Moors. The lower village houses a local inn serving food along with a spectacularly situated cafe, whilst nearby Hinderwell provides 2 inns, a fish and chip shop, a local butchers and a garage/petrol station. A Co-op is situated at Staithes 2 miles away.

Note: Driveway to the property has a ramp leading onto the gravel to park and low cars should be cautious of this.
