The cottage was lovely, we didn’t cook there and we wouldn’t have, I can’t remember if it’s in the description but there’s no oven! It does have one of those micro/grill/oven things but I’ve never used one. We had all other comforts though, bed was super comfy. Cottage was perfectly clean, a few arrival gifts, tea, coffee, milk and delicious biscuits. We didn’t find a local shop but heard on the last night that the butcher has essentials but being out every day meant we could pick up any bits we needed. Local fish and chip shop was the best ever!! Only open 3 evenings a week I think but they’re the best I think we’ve ever had, amazing batter and crinkle cut fresh chips - yummy!!! Bus service was good and we had to contact the vets in Whitby, they were brilliant with our boy. He was seen and sorted within an hour of my phone call. We were out every day but when in the cottage it was peaceful. You will enjoy your stay <3
