Beautifully refurbished cottage, circa 1650s, has kept its links with the past with exposed beams and stonework, stone flagged floors, "gas" wall lighting.Leave the hustle and bustle of 21st Century life aside for a while as you wander round our collection of antiquities and artefacts evoking memories of a bygone era.Settle in front of the open fired kitchen range, toast the toes and perhaps the teacakes after a brisk breezy walk to Boggle Hole.Curl up in the cliff top summer house. Cool in the summer, heated in the winter. A haven to watch the ever changing sky over Ravenscar in the distance. Listen to your favourite music or perhaps spend a quiet afternoon with your favourite read.Nothing in Robin Hoods Bay is far away! Within 1 or 2 minutes of leaving High Cliff you can be at the beach, wandering round the quaint array of shops, the museum, the coastguard station, or quenching your thirst and hunger in one of the friendly pubs, cafes or restaurants.

More Info
The fascinating history of Robin Hood's Bay stretches back millions of years which make the beach prime territory for fossil hunters. With it's huddle of stone buildings clinging to the cliffs and winding their way down to the sea this magical place has been shaped over the centuries by Romans, Saxons, Norsemen, Fishermen, Smugglers, Press Gangs, Storms, Wrecks and Tourists. Once visited, The Bay will never leave your memory. People are drawn back time and again by its undoubted charm, its exciting history, its sense of time ‘stood still’. We hope that you will decide to visit and have a memorable stay.
