Fabulous little cottage with everything you’d need for a self catering holiday plus little extras.Cottage was spotless and the views were lovely.Very friendly owners who were there if needed.We visited Filey, Flamborough Head and enjoyed a walk along the promenade in Bridlington.We were only there for the weekend but there are plenty of places to visit within a short drive .In the village there is a pub and a garage which stocks plenty of essentials.Would highly recommend this property.
