REVIEWS

We love to hear back from our guests to find out their experience with Beautiful Escapes.

April 2024

The cottage was beautiful, well maintained with everything provided, parking was spacious and convenient.

The area was great, loved the walk all the way to Whitby along the beach and there were great places to explore like Runswick Bay just a short drive away. Fantastic fossil hunting which the children loved.

Good eateries nearby although booking in advance is advisable.

Booking with Beautiful Escapes was very easy and we would use you again.

Thank you!
