Excellent house. Spacious, well equipped and homely. Just right for family gatherings. A very special place.
Samantha
I would definitely recommend this property, great location, excellent facilities and a high standard of cleanliness. Couldn't ask for more.
Carolyn
Couldnâ??t ask for anything more. A super house with everything catered for in beautiful Sandsend. A quiet location and just a 2 minute walk to the beach. We have stayed in a number of houses and apartments in Sandsend and Whitby and this is by far the best. Already booked for next year..
Sue
Excellent cottage. Well specified in terms of facilities and top notch kitchen equipment. Bathrooms well fitted. Ideally situated for bus routes. We didnâ??t have to use the car once.
Lynne
Haggs cottage is lovely and homely and in a fantastic location just a little way up from the seafront. Sandsend is absolutely gorgeous and I love the proximity to Whitby. Dogs are not allowed on this part of the beach now from May to September. The beds at the cottage are very comfortable.
Andrea
All you could ask for- everything you need to have great stay
Rosie
We love the house, fantastic location. Ted the dog loves going to the beach everyday, just walk down the hill and you're there in a couple minutes. We were so lucky as the weather was absolutely beautiful and it made it just that better. Filey beach was beautiful. The Mulgrave walk was also lovely on the Sunday morning. The house is clean, great parking and easy to get to surrounding areas. We'll definitely be back for a third visit.
Josephine
Absolutely love this house and have been back three times now !

Nicholas
Great 2nd stay. Love the location and space for 2 familes. The cuckoo clock was a kids fave
Rebecca
What a wonderful house in a wonderful place. It is perfectly situated in Sandsend, auspiciously for the area, adorned with a great drive for private parking, and a lovely homely feel. It has recently been renovated with new bathrooms and a new kitchen and perfect for a family and for us, most crucially, for dogs. A great patio out to the rear enclosed garden is perfect for pooches. Ours loved it so much and it was a joy to see them have such a great holiday after one of them had a serious operation that means anywhere we go we need easy access out to the garden, and the owners have had a wonderful floor put down that is super practical, easy to clean and not slippy (brill for older dogs, older visitors and little ones!) Itâ??s been a long year for us and we really needed a break and this was just perfect. Thank you for letting us share your lovely house.
John
Lovely house in an attractive village near Whitby. House is extremely well equipped with every necessary domestic appliance and as much crockery and cutlery as could be desired. We last stayed in the house 3 years ago and since then a number of improvements have been made particularly in the provision of bath and shower rooms. All-in-all, a lovely house which, hopefully, we will return to in the future.
Derek
Great location ideal for families
Charlotte
Absolutely amazing holiday in a beautiful property. Perfect for all the family. The location is perfect as well. So close to local amenities and just a stone throw away from the beach. We've booked again for 2025!

Great location. Fantastic house with great facilities. Kitchen equipment was immense!. Garden space ideal for families. Would strongly recommend and would visit again.
Katy
We had a wonderful stay at The Haggs. A well presented, well equipped house within walking distance of the beach (and a wagon we could use too!). Our boys ), 4&2, loved the back garden and the games room. The kitchen was well stocked with lots of equipment making it easy to prep food for our return from days out. Well located with close routes to whitby, scarborough and beyond.
Josephine
A really lovely well equipped house in a fantastic location... so near the beach and the great cafe... we will be back!
Colette
Excellent holiday home suiting all age groups from grandparents to grandchildren. This is one of the best equipped homes we have stayed in , and, so easy to settle in. We had lots of lovely walks and fun on the beach and visited all the local beaches
Rosie
We have had a wonderful few days staying here, the house was perfect. Everything has been thought of, any kitchen utensils needed was there. Little box to start your stay off plus some goodies which were all appreciated. The house was beautiful. It was also clean and the bathrooms were amazing. The dog loved being so close to the beach.
Peter
The title 'cottage' doesn't do this house justice. It's a superb large luxury house.
Margaret
Five star property very comfortable and spotless clean
