Lighthouse was absolutely perfect for a group pf x 3 friends to enjoy time together. What`s not to like about sea views, coastal walking and glorious sunshine ? Internally the lighthouse is tastefully themed all things "sea", comfortable and spotlessly clean. The kitchen was equipped with everything you could possibly need. Fabulous.
Meine Frau und ich waren für ein paar Tage in diesem tollen Ferienhaus. Das Ferienhaus liegt direkt neben einem Leuchtturm an einer steilen Küste. Auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite vom Leuchtturm befindet sich ein weiteres Ferienhaus, von dem man aber aufgrund der baulichen Trennung nichts mitbekommt.Das Haus war sauber und in der Küche warteten ein paar kleine Geschenke auf uns: Kaffee, Kekse, Brot und weiteres. Alles aus dem Ort Whitby und alles super lecker.Das Haus ist gut ausgestattet - wir haben in der Zeit dort nichts vermisst.Die Lage ist toll. Man kann direkt auf das Meer schauen, die Schiffe beobachten und mit etwas Glück sieht man dort dann sogar Delphine im Wasser.Vom Haus aus kann man direkt loswandern: nach Whitby oder Robin Hoods Bay. Beides sind richtig schöne Touren. Mit dem Auto ist man in wenigen Minuten in Whitby und von dort dann schnell in der Umgebung, die viele schöne Ausflugsziele bietet.Leider gibt es kein WiFi in dem Ferienhaus und der Handyempfang ist nicht sehr gut. Wir mussten in der Regel vor das Gatter am Anfang des Grundstücks gehen, um Empfang zu haben. Das ist einerseits etwas aufwändig für die Planung der Tagestouren aber andererseits auch entschleunigend.Der Leuchtturm ist übrigens noch in Betrieb und wird regelmäßig gewartet. Wir durften bei einer solchen Gelegenheit einmal ins Innere schauen. Toll.
We had a very restful week in our favourite seaside town

A fantastic place away from it all ... but close enough to the the town of Whitby!
What a great weekend ... great weather, superb location, peaceful and relaxing, but close enough to enable a gentle stoll along the Cleveland Way to Whitby.
We just had a great time, although the breeze off the North Sea was a but chilly at times!
The cottage may lack wifi and has no mobile phone signal, but that just added to the feeling of "getting away from it all" ... a highly specified cottage with lots of homely touches and decoration, and the kitchen and bathrooms were top-notch.

The property was fabulous. The view was spectacular, the cottage was beautifully furnished and very comfortable. We loved it and wished we had stayed another night. The welcome hamper was a wonderful surprise and very appreciated. Thank you.
However, getting in touch with the housekeeper was a problem. We were lucky there was a lady in the other cottage and was able to get the code for us.
