Cliff Top Cottage, 6 Coastguard Cottages, Saltburn by the sea, North Yorkshire, TS12 1HG

Just back from another wonderfully relaxing week at Cliff Top cottage. The peace and tranquility, abundance of wildlife and stunning views make for as near to the perfect break as you could wish for. The cottage was as clean, comfortable and cosy as we found it last time and we definitely intend to return. Nirvana on the north east coast!!!

Just had the most enjoyable week at Cliff Top cottage. Lovely cosy feel to it, everything provided for a week away. The views from there and the free roaming wildlife were a treat from living in a town. We have definitely marked this up as a "must return to" in the diary. Full marks to the owners.

Our stay at Cliff Top Cottage was the worst I have ever had, and I stay at a lot of cottages as a professional UK landscape photographer.

The noise from building work taking place on the adjoining roof, above our bedrooms, and around our chimney throughout our stay (which is probably still ongoing) was horrendous, and the advertised Wifi has been offline for weeks, if not months, with the owner having no obvious inclination to repair it. Just blames TalkTalk and storms.

As somebody on a working holiday who returned to the property every day to work, and take a nap between sunrises and sunsets the property was totally unsuitable for our needs.

The inside of the cottage was just about passable (dated, not the cleanest, poor TV, crockery etc that looked like it had been purchased a piece at a time at a jumble sale, no draining board, and we all struggled to sleep in the beds even at night when it had gone quiet), as was the lane that leads to the cottages which was full of pot holes. We were just about able to slalom the car around them touching the hedges at times, but cars with lower ride heights are likely to struggle.

The patio and parking area next to the cottage was unusable during the day, thanks to the building work (falling slates etc).

The owner who was misleading and uncooperative from the off has refused to compensate us despite obvious failings, and the money we had to spend to get around them, and the booking agent just hid behind clauses in their small print. So obviously we are not going to be returning to this property or any of their others in the future.

We just spent a lovely week here at the cottage with our dog. It is a really nice situation (yes the access is bumpy but drive slowly!) with easy access to the clifftop for my daily run with the dog. The cottage was comfy and cleaned to a high standard. The appliances in the kitchen were all modern and new, Straightforward instructions as to water heating etc. The owners supplied essential items eg condiments, tea and coffee and the spice rack was well stocked. The smart TV's passed on some time as the weather was very hot (for the dog) so we spent some of the day relaxing inside. The bathroom is nice with a big shower and a bath.

Saltburn itself is a lovely place- we have visited often and my partner lived here as a child. Some very nice eateries. I am sure we will be back!

Just returned from a 3 night stay at the cottage, it is well equipped & comfortable. The cottage does need a bit of TLC. The door handle has tape round it, the blind in the master bedroom wasn?t really a blind just a piece of material hung over the blind rod. We didn?t use what is advertised as the summer house, it really didn?t look inviting or particularly safe. The garden is a wildlife garden and very overgrown but we managed to have the odd cup of tea in the garden there?s a bench there so that was fine for us. I think if we had been staying longer than a couple of days it would have been nice to have the option of sitting in the summer house. There are plenty of walks on the doorstep. If walking to the beach & you are not keen on steps I would recommend using the bridlepath (found just a little walk down the lane, just past the garden for number 6) the path takes you right down to the side of the Ship Inn. Saltburn-By-The-Sea has a lot to offer it?s a lovely little place.

Cosy,warm and comfortable cottage,50 yards from the cliff top,stunning views.Loved the log fire.

The kitchen is well equipped and the beds are very comfortable.

5 minute walk to the beach and the pub.

I will be stopping here again,ideal base for walking.

We cannot understand the tone of the previous two reviews.

1. The access by a track is perfectly possible to negotiate with a small car (ours is a Ford Fiesta) Of course you need to go slowly and carefully, as well as access for farm and cottages it is also a footpath, bridleway and cycle track - part of Cycle Route 1.

2. Parking - no problem, either beside the house or on the concrete area in the garden.

3. The garden is a wildlife garden so don't expect it to look like a suburban lawn and garden. We enjoyed the wild flowers, birds and insects that f

On a positive note this end terrace house/cottage has lovely views of the surrounding countryside and is in a very peaceful and quiet location. You will need to be fit to stay here as both paths down to the beach and town are very steep. If going by car, be aware that the track leading to the property is very uneven and narrow and half a mile long. I was worried about bottoming the car in some areas of the road due to the wear on the track and a 4 wheel drive would be better. You will have to reverse for quite a distance in order to let any oncoming vehicle
