Absolutely perfect! Wonderful 'welcome pack' including prosecco, homemade jam, essentials ... bread, butter, milk and delicious homemade cake. Galleon House was spotlessly clean and in a perfect position to watch the storm that arrived the day after we arrived. It couldn't have been better! Thanks so much Sarah!

ANOTHER MAGICAL STAY!!!

We stayed for the first time in November 24 loved it so much we booked for November 25- but couldn't wait that long so we managed to squeeze in a summer visit! It's such a wonderful cottage. Same views, same warm welcome but with the sun glistening on the sea and the pub next door open every day

What a wonderful weekend we have had at Galleon House. This cottage is stunning and the attention to detail in the accommodation and decor is first class. All home comfort you can ever dream of and the homemade lemon drizzle cake was outstanding. Can’t wait to go again next year.

We’ve had the pleasure of staying at Galleon House several times now and it never fails to deliver. The attention to detail, cleanliness and fabulous welcome pack are all much appreciated! The position of the house with its many windows provides beautiful views of the whole bay which we never tire of looking at. Sarah is a wonderful host and strives to ensure that everything is perfect for your stay and we would certainly recommend Galleon House to anyone looking to stay in Runswick Bay !

Absolutely amazing. This was a birthday surprise for my GF and she said that she couldn't have chosen a better cottage!!!Lovely views, great location, lovely pub next door serving nice food, nice walks, close to Sands end and Staithes...couldn't improve on the location.The cottage itself was lovely inside and it was more spacious inside than I expected. The cottage had everything we needed and even had a lovely welcome pack.My GF loved the flowers and sparkling wine and I loved the lemon drizzle cake and home made jam.I can't suggest anything that could have been improved on. 5 star stay.

A beautiful spotlessly clean cottage in the perfect location within the village. There is easy access to the beach, the village pub and the beach cafe. The layout of the accomodation allows great views over the sea, and has everything you would need for a comfortable stay. This was our second visit and we will definitely look forward to returning.

Wonderful location and cottage

This has to be the best cottage with the best view I’ve ever stayed in! With an added bonus of being next door to the pub! The whole process of checking in was easy, the cottage was clean and one of the best equipped places I’ve ever stayed! The cottage was spotless, cosy and beautifully decorated. I cannot recommend the hosts or the property enough.
