  • "Just returned from a 2 week stay at Humble Bee Cottage."

    Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, both in the area and especially the Cottage. The property is very roomy, comfortable, thoughtfully decorated like a well-kept family home rather than a holiday rental with quality fittings. Fully equipped with everything we needed, especially as we needed to self cater more than most renters would. Met Fiona several times, very helpful and pleasant, nothing too much trouble, has made an excellent job of setting up the property for holiday rental. Nice location and we intend to return to the property and area.

    Plenty of space & very well equipped. It was a good base for car journeys to Filey, Bridlington, Whitby, Scarborough, Robin Hoods Bay, Pickering & York. Plenty to do and see. The Hamlet has a pub which offers good value for money meals. There isn't a village shop, so the complimentary welcome items of food & drink from the owner were much appreciated on arrival. Would highly recommend.

If you like a softer bed I recommend bringing your own mattress topper.

    It was very comfortable, well equipped and extremely clean. A real home from home. It was nice to wander around the village in the evenings and look at the geese and goslings on the village pond. We explored the surrounding area - beautiful beach at Filey and walked the clifftop paths at Flamborough Head and Bempton which is full of nesting bird colonies. Another lovely day out was to Sewerby Hall (gardens and zoo only due to Covid restrictions) where we caught a little train to Bridlington and walked back along the clifftop. A lovely part of the country and we hope to return. Apparently the village pub is very good but closed during our stay. Another reason to visit again!
