We rented the cottage as a full family of seven people. Four adults, 3 children aged 6 - 14 yrs old. The cottage provided everything we needed as far as space, yet wasn't too large. The outdoor shower was great with a full house. One person could shower while another person we using the indoor bathroom and getting ready for the day. The short drive to Long Sands beach was quick and easy. The laundry machines in the shed were awesome to have, especially traveling with the children. We enjoyed the outdoor table and chairs on the front porch often. If we weren't on the porch in the evening, we were by the fire pit roasting marshmallows. Every bedroom had a TV which was also great for the kids when the rain storm came. Us adults enjoyed coffee every morning from the coffee machine in the kitchen. The board games and toys in the shed were good entertainment for the kids. It was nice to open the windows on beautiful days, but also close them and run the A/C on warmer days. We all enjoyed the cottage very much and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in York.
