Our journey from visitors to owners
Hi we are Sian and Matt and in September 2024 we became the new owners of Dock Cottage, in Robin Hood's Bay. We took over the reigns from Sue and Nick Hall who had it in their family for 70 years. This is our story.........
Our Story
Hi, we're Sian and Matt, and in September 2024, we were thrilled to become the lucky owners of Dock Cottage right on the Dock in Robin Hood’s Bay.
Our love affair with Robin Hood's Bay began about 25 years ago when we visited as a young couple on a weekend getaway. It was October, and I remember sitting in the Bay Hotel, watching the waves crash against the sea wall—there was something truly magical about it. From that moment, it became our favourite time of year—watching the sea roar, sitting by a log fire with a glass of wine.
Year after year, we found ourselves drawn back. First with friends, then with our children, and in the summer of 2024, our kids even worked here during their summer holidays.
So, when Dock Cottage came up for sale after 70 years, it wasn’t a question of "should we?" but "why shouldn’t we?" and "could we?" It's such a magnificent building, right on the Dock, with sea views that are absolutely breathtaking. You can sit in the lounge and watch the world go by—people-watching to your heart’s content.
The location is truly special. Going to sleep with the sound of the sea is pure magic, and the sunrises are something else—definitely worth waking up early for! Although, I must admit, I haven’t quite managed many 4:30 AM sunrises!
We’re so excited to share Dock Cottage with you and spread the magic of this beautiful place. We hope you fall in love with it as much as we have.
We look forward to seeing you soon
Sian and Matt
