The most characterful Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in. Absolutely beautifully done. Comfortable sofas and beds, quirky details, everything you need. It’s fun to find and the route in has you gasping as you turn corners to see yet more twists and turns in this magical place. Wish we could have stayed longer!

The Old Bakehouse
Robin Hood’s bay | Yorkshire
A cracking home from home, The Old Bakehouse Cottage in Sunny Place, Robin Hoods Bay, is a curl-up-with-a-book sort of place with the North Sea just round the corner crashing against the sea walls. But when the tide retreats the beach is a world of rock pools, fossil hunting and numerous coastal walks will await.
A white-painted former bakehouse on a cobbled walkway called Sunny Place, deep in the labyrinth that is lower ‘Baytown’, the property retains many traditional features but offers comforts of the modern day. This fabulously located cottage is within a stones throw of everything Robin Hoods Bay has to offer.
This home makes you feel warm as soon as you arrive and is filled with the character you would expect from a period cottage. Watch out for the sloping ceilings, exposed beams, wonky floors and relax and curl up with a book with the North Sea just round the corner crashing against the sea walls.
