Owned by holiday location leaders Haven, the unspoiled site is surrounded by scenic towns from Beverley to Bridlington, not forgetting the bright lights of “Scarbados”.

Bracing salt-spray coastlines consisting of scenic beaches and rugged cliffs vie with rolling vales and dales for your attention, all are a welcome far cry from today’s social media saturated madding crowd.

Offering a sense of calm, and creating a truly relaxing home from home, the neutral colour schemes and sumptuous furnishings within the accommodation add to a feeling of rural well-being.
