Fantastic staycation

Beautiful cottage in beautiful Runswick Bay. Everything was just perfect from the moment we walked through the door and the extra touches were just the icing on the cake. The cottage has a games cupboard, a well stocked kitchen so made cooking very easy, coffee machine and pods, netflix, a homemade cake, prosecco, milk, jam and butter were all those extra touches that give the owner the 5 stars she deserves.Will definitely be returning as my family had a great time and my kids are keen to go fossil hunting on the beach again.Thank you for being an amazing host, your cottage is outstanding

Wonderful location and cottage

This has to be the best cottage with the best view I’ve ever stayed in! With an added bonus of being next door to the pub! The whole process of checking in was easy, the cottage was clean and one of the best equipped places I’ve ever stayed! The cottage was spotless, cosy and beautifully decorated. I cannot recommend the hosts or the property enough.

Amazing place

Absolutely amazing cottage, really well stocked with everything you could conceivably need for a comfortable stay. The homemade cake and welcome pack of bread, milk, jam, orange juice and prosecco were fabulous. We had a blissful New Year with fireworks on the beach, a pub next door and the sound of the sea to wake up to. We loved it, thank you Sarah for the whole experience. Absolutely a five star property.

A nice rest

This property must be the best in the village. There are wonderful views across the bay and if the window is open, you can hear the waves lapping onto the beach. The property has just about everything to make the stay comfortable and the kitchen is a dream with every utensil you could ever want to use. The host, Sarah, is available and so very helpful to sort any queries. And it was wonderful to be greeted with a welcome pack of essentials like bread, butter and milk, and extra treats like a freshly baked cake and bottle of Prosecco. We went away for a nice little break and this property was the perfect place.

Our happy place

Another fabulous stay at Galleon House. The house is stunning as are the views across the bay. We enjoyed swimming and walks on the beach. Sarah’s attention to detail is amazing, the beautiful decor dressed with hearts and flowers for Valentine’s was a lovely touch. The house has everything you need and more for a lovely stay. There was an amazing welcome pack, we especially loved the homemade cake, jam and Prosecco along side milk, juice, bread and butter. We’ve already booked to return.

The cottage is clean and well presented with a great welcome pack. All really lovey but the upstairs bedroom is challenging for any adult over five foot especially if two of you are staying up there. The rest of the property is comfortable and absolutely wonderful for a stay in Runswick Bay
