What a lovely cottage. The location, Lealholm, is quintessentially English, hidden in the North Yorkshire moors but only minutes away from Whitby (with the best fish & chips in, well, anywhere! The cottage was spotlessly clean and well appointed, and a few steps away from the community shop with all the essential luxuries and fifty yards from the Board Inn (you can take your dog with you!). For eight people it represents excellent value for money. The locals were very friendly too.
