Outside, you can enjoy a morning coffee in the small enclosed garden, before heading out for the day.

A minute's walk away is a friendly local inn, which serves real ales and good food and a regular bus service runs through the village, if you fancy leaving your car behind. Just along the road is the well-known Cinder Track, a disused railway line, twenty three miles long, for walkers, cyclists and your four legged friends! An enjoyable walk of less than 3 miles brings you to the ancient smugglers village of Robin Hoods Bay, with its sandy cove, rock pools and fossil hunting opportunities.
