Lewis Party

We found the apartment really nice. Lovely bedroom and bathroom, living room and kitchen together. Thank you, we had a lovely 4 day break. Weather could have been better but we made the most of it and enjoyed ourselves.

Rutter Party

Rated the cottage and the service from Yorkshire Coastal Cottages the top ranking of 'Highly satisfactory!' The cottage is in a great spot close to the harbour and shops. Had a lovely alk to Sandsend and on return had fish and chips at the Magpie - highly recommend. We would return again.

The Blackford Party

Whoever kitted out the apartment did a really good job. They thought of everything. I was please to find a hairdryer as I had forgotten mine and it saved me from buying one. Thank you.

Peebles Party

We have booked The Riddle twice before and have had a great holiday each time. Yorkshire Coastal Cottages are easy to contact and speak with.
