Good location as it central for the coast and places such as Helmsley which is great for shopping. There were a lot of thoughtful additions a very well equipped kitchen, prime tv, maidens for washing though a washer dryer would be better than just a washing machine. Convenient parking at the rear of the property. The decor is a little dated, the carpet on the stairs to the first floor is in need of replacing and this area and the front porch smelt fusty. I found the king bed in the front bedroom uncomfortable, lack of towels, would benefit from a couple more hand towels, fortunately I always take some with me. Beware the bath is difficult to get out of. More cutlery as this is a 6 person house.We had a lovely meal in the Black Swan, there are a good selection of shops if you want to cook in the cottage. Thank you for the fizz and tasty Yorkshire crisps.
