Terence

Just arrived home after our 5th visit. Despite the very cool, changeable weather we enjoyed our stay as always. We always feel very comfortable in the house and love sitting in the conservatory with views of the sea. The garden is really lovely and the owner Andy had been mowing the lawn and tidying up the garden. We saw the family of 5 badgers nearly every evening. We use the buses quite a lot to Scarborough, Whitby and up to Staithes which adds to the holiday experience. Again a very nice holiday at number 2 The Close.

Incredible view from the garden. .house is perfect, we did have a slight issue, was resolved within 5 minutes.. This has genuinely been one of the best holidays weve had,5 minutes from the bus stop, Whitby 20mins away,Scarborough 50mins..the Cleveland coastal walk to Whitby is a must, its a Bonny walk.highlight for us was the badgers who come out in the evening in next doors garden,it was an absolute joy watching them..we will definitely be back!. If theres actually availability lol..

Excellent bungalow location for enjoying Robin Hoods Bay and surrounding ... Excellent bungalow location for enjoying Robin Hoods Bay and surrounding area Everything you need for a peaceful and relaxing break Weather was good so we got to enjoy the rear garden with wonderful views and a pleasure to see badger family exploring garden at dusk 3rd time we have stayed in this property Dont think it will be the last Small problem occurred during stay but Andy ownerwas very approachable and we got the problem sorted out quickly

Anthony

Overall 2 the Close was clean and comfortable, we did have an issue with the boiler on the last morning which owner got onto right away The kitchen was well equipped. The view from the back garden is stunning and worth the fee alone. I would definitely stay again. It could do with a bit of TLC to conservatory doors and windows as they were difficult to close and lock, but overall a good place to stay and very well located.

Jacqui

Absolutely fantastic. This is a gem of a bungalow in a perfect location for gazing at the wildlife and the gorgeous views. Nice living spaces inside the property with spacious rooms. Would definitely recommend

Joanne

A lovely property, very spacious and comfortable, in a great location, quiet and peaceful but short walk to shops, restaurants etc. The view is absolutely amazing. Well stocked kitchen though scissors would be handy. Showers were fantastic. Good supply of toilet roll, soap and kitchen towel, some basics like salt, pepper, oil etc. We enjoyed badger watch immensely! Andy, the owner, was extremely helpful. There'd been an issue with hot water early on our arrival day, Andy phoned and explained the situation and had an engineer arranged to fix it early on the Sunday morning. Lovely walks nearby to walk the dog. Victoria Hotel was lovely for dinner but probably best to book during peak periods. Enjoyed a lovely meal at Cosa Nostra in Whitby again, advise to book catered for our special dietary requirements. And the fish at the Fish Box some of the best we've ever had.

We adored our stay. So peaceful and quiet. Huge garden with the most amazing sea view. Nightly visits from a badger family at the bottom of the garden which we watched from the viewing deck. The kitchen was so well equipped it was the best we have stayed in. Water pressure in the showers extremely good. Lovely comfy beds and bedding. The walk down to the bay is well worth the yomp. Loved it, loved it, loved it.

Richard

Fantastic stay at the The Close. Amazing views from the garden across the bay and great to see lots of wildlife in the garden in the evenings. It is close to all the amenities in Robin Hood's Bay and is a perfect location for exploring the North Yorkshire coast. Great walking off the doorstop and no shortage of pubs and restaurants in the village. The cottage has everything you need and is very comfortable and spacious.

Timothy

Spacious for four of us, comfortable, great location and dog friendly. Suited our party very well one couple, two singles. Wonderful views and the added bonus of the evening wildlife spectacle. Having stayed a few times before in RHB but at the bottom of the hill, definitely prefer the convenience of being in the village and having the two parking spaces even though we walked down every morning with the dogs. We'd asked for extra towels and the next day the owner appeared with brand new ones. Thank you. There's a few little things that need sorting in the house. There's no lock on the downstairs toilet door and the loo seat needs repairing and the french doors in the conservatory need realigning as they are difficult to close and lock. Otherwise all was good, thank you, and when we return to RHB we'll be looking to book here first.

Location and views from the garden lovely. The property needs a thorough clean, conservatory in need of attention, furnishings old and torn, covered with throws to hide them. The garden needs attention. The fencing is not secure enough for small dogs. Despite these issues, had a lovely time, weather beautiful. Would definitely go back due to the location and views, once the above have been addressed

Rowena

Really comfortable and well stocked bungalow. Layout seems strange at first but it works really well and could be really flexible depending on who is staying, I think a floorplan might assist with deciding how it could work. We had family and friends staying with us over the week and everyone enjoyed it. Really good location in Robin Hood's Bay, parking means that you don't have to carry your bags but it's only a 1015 minute walk down into the Bay itself. Good exercise walking back up! The bungalow was really cosy and the kitchen had loads of equipment. You can drive to Whitby in about 20 minutes. Loads to explore in Robin Hoods Bay, plenty of walks if that's your thing. Looking forward to going back some time.

Avisha

Great location with beautiful views. Everything you could need at the property and it was kept nicely warm and heated, appropriate for the weather conditions. Great base to explore from..

Absolutely amazing place to stay. Thought of everything .

The close had everything what was needed. The view from the garden is fantastic and is great for dogs as its secure. It was great seeing the badgers come into the garden in the evening. Location wise its good ,within walking distance of Robin Hood Bay , its quiet and is a real home from home.

We enjoyed a lovely last week of Summer at The Close. The accommodation was spacious and well laid out, the beds were comfortable with plenty of pillows and warm duvets. We used the upstairs shower and bathroom which had a plentiful supply of hot water and bath towels. The garden was beautiful and well maintained and we enjoyed morning coffees out on the deck overlooking the sea views every morning really missing those views already! We would happily recommend and return

Rebecca

Loved the location of the property especially the view from the back garden, was easy to find & close to all the local towns. The property had everything we needed & was clean & tidy. We felt at home as soon as we arrived. The dogs enjoyed the garden & we enjoyed the seating area at the end to enjoy the view. Parking was great with 2 spaces outside the property. We would definitely stay here again.

Wendie

We already knew how much we liked Robin Hoods Bay, but this lovely and homely bungalow with stunning views over the Bay makes this one of our favourite holiday home stays. We will certainly miss our morning cuppa in the garden in the lovely seating area. We appreciated the short walk to the village and beach area with plenty to do nearby, we also enjoyed visiting nearby Whitby and Saltburn by the Sea. We will be back to stay here for sure.

Kathleen

The house is in a perfect location. Robin Hood bay itself is a short walk away and Whitby a short drive. The garden has a lovely decking area with a fire pit at the end that overlooks the bay with incredible views. The house itself was clean and tidy. The beds were ok. Overall value for money was excellent and we enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic location and sea views. Decking a sun trap & quite sheltered on windy days.Loads of fun watching the badgers at around 9pm each evening leave a trail of apple & they come right up to the conservatory. Parking a must in Robin Hoods Bay fits 3 medium size cars. Central but descent of steep hill not compulsory but well worthwhile! Easy access to Cinder Track and Cleveland Way though southbound section starts downhill. Can be accessed from Cinder Track though downhill got to be done somewhere!

Lauren

Clean, spacious house in a great location on the top of the cliff within easy reach of Robins Hoods Bay and also the coastal footpath. Only criticism would be that the garden was full of dog poo! Not great if you are staying with young children as we were.

Judith

We had an excellent week at 2 The Close, lovely to see the Badgers in the garden every night. Comfortable house & a really nice garden. Loved the decking at the end of the garden & the lovely view of the sea, waking up every morning with that view was spectacular. Only a short 510 minute walk to the Cinder Track & Cleveland Way.

Pauline

We stayed at 2, The close, the TV in the Lounge didn't work, there was no pillow protecters on the bed's, no instruction's for the appliances, and my friend hurt his leg getting out of bed as there was a bar on the side of the bed, so we didn't have a good stay.

Richard

Excellent property, excellent location, great value, would recommend to all age groups and in particular nature lovers with all the wildlife that visits the garden badgers and pheasants plus many varieties of birds The only small issue was the tv in the living room was missing it's HDMI ports for some reason. So if you had kids and wanted to connect a console you wouldn't be able. There also wasn't a dvd player in the lounge but there was dvds in the bookcase so maybe it's being replaced. There was a scart socket in the lounge tv if you wanted to bring a dvd player with you just in case

We had a great time over Christmas staying at 2 The Close. We fed the birds some bird seed which we always like to do wherever we go and we were very surprised as we saw 11 varieties Robins, Blue tits, Sea gull, Crows, Pheasant male and female, Chaffinch, Jenny wren, Black bird, Coal tit, Sparrow, Magpies and also some local Squirrels joining in with the melee. Perhaps this house should be a bird spotters holiday home too? There was a potentially big issue on Christmas eve as the boiler broke down but Andy was very quick to action and had an engineer out to fix it on Christmas day morning and everything was fine and we remained warm. Our dogs loved the garden and we loved the clear stary sky at night and lovely sunrises across the Bay. Thank you

Fantastic house with everything you could possibly need. The views are amazing and the conservatory is a wonderful place to enjoy them. The garden is lovely and although dog friendly, I would not say dog safe as there is an area at the bottom of the garden with the raised seating where they could easily escape. Andy is a fantastic host, on hand if needed. Thank you Andy, we hope to return in the not too distant future.

Fantastic cottage! Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay on the Yorkshire coast. Great views from the garden and wildlife on your step. Looking forward to the next visit already.

What a wonderful place. Exactly as listed, even a welcome bottle of wine and basics to start the holiday off. A few cobwebs and very minor decor blemishes which would benefit from some TLC but this in no way hampered anything. Wildlife vusits an absolute treat too.

Excellent holiday , wonderful area packed with wildlife , sightseeing and fabulous views the accommodation was ideal for 7 adults and two dogs plenty of room , amazing view from the garden and badgers were a bonus , would definitely book again . Lovely welcome gifts of wine and milk, fresh flowers were a nice touch. Very friendly local shop and dog friendly pubhotel the Grosvenor nearby

Lovely big cottage, best location we have stayed at in robin hoods Bay. Flowers, bottle of wine and milk were a nice welcome as well. We are definitely looking at staying again.

Terence

This holiday was our third trip to 2 The Close. Each time we arrive it is like coming home. There are seven of us and we feel so comfortable with the facilities and the garden with the spectacular view. The badgers appeared every night which was great and we love the pheasant that wanders around all the gardens. The house location is very good for walking on the Cleveland way or the cinder track into Whitby which we do every visit. We met Andy the owner and he is very easy to talk to and takes care of any needs you may have. We will certainly be back.

Avisha

Beautiful property in a great location. Very dog friendly. Very welcoming with milk, flowers and a bottle of wine. Exceptional views and would be amazing with the right weather. Still great in bad weather. We did however feel rushed and under pressure on the leaving day with the owner waiting on the driveway whilst we were loading the car 15minutes prior to the allocated leaving time of 9.30am although I appreciate this wasn't intended.

Abostoutley brilliant. I would definitely recommend 2 the close.

Louise

We are a family of 8,the large bungalow was perfect, my elderly Mum had the bedroom with bathroom away from the the younger ones which was perfect, we made use of the sunny conservatory and the garden sea view was spectacular,we would stay again .

Michael

The cottage was absolutely lovely, very spacious and immaculately clean. It had everything you could ask for

Patricia

This cottage has everything we could have wanted, including nightly visit from badgers. Fabulous view from garden, quiet location, very spacious and parking right on the front. Our dogs loved the big garden and the lovely walks right on the doorstep. Would defo revisit and recommend.

Andrea

Very comfortable bungalow in excellent location, the owner was very helpful with a query we had

Thank you so much for all the little homely touches that just made the holiday.

Excellent accommodation. The cottage is stocked with everything you would need for a relaxing holiday for 68 people. Parking for 3 cars with care, near facilities like shop, chippy & pub and playground for kids. Fantastic views over the sea and next to the coastal and cinder path for walking of cycling.

Location stunning. Host attentive and couldn't do more for us. Neighbour was brilliant. House very comfortable. We managed to get 3 cars on drive although one was a mini
