This Grade II listed period cottage dates back some 350 years, built in sandstone and set over three floors. Debbie and Jeff, owners of Millbrook, have lovingly refurbished the cottage without compromising its history and character, they have skillfully incorporated everything you could wish to find for a seaside escape.
Many of the old cottages in Bay are small in stature but full of character and old worlde charm, Millbrook epitomises everything that you would expect from a period cottage in the Bay, with the added bonus of a private outside terrace and a parking space in the village.
Millbrook is a very special place to be for owners Jeff and Debbie, having returned to Robin Hood’s Bay year after year on family holidays as a child, Debbie was keen to introduce Jeff to this magical village and it’s safe to say Jeff was equally smitten. Having created their special place to be they would like you to discover the magic too on your beautiful escape to Robin Hood’s Bay.
