Dock Cottage
How many people can Dock Cottage accommodate?
Dock Cottage sleeps up to four guests, making it ideal for both families or couples.
Please note that the twin bedroom is accessed through the main bedroom, which is perfect for families but worth considering if you're staying with friends.
How do I book?
You can book online through our website or give us a call on 07961719996. A £100 deposit secures your date and your balance is due 8 weeks before you stay.
Is Dock Cottage dog-friendly?
Absolutely! We welcome up to two well-behaved dogs, though we kindly ask that they stay off the sofas and out of the bedrooms. There’s an additional charge of £25 for dogs, which goes towards the cleaning fee, and you can add this when booking.
Robin Hood’s Bay beach is dog-friendly all year round, which is perfect. We do ask that you don't leave your dog alone in the cottage. However, nearly everywhere in Robin Hood’s Bay is dog-friendly, so your pup can come with you.
Does Dock Cottage have parking?
Yes, Dock Cottage offers private parking—a real rarity in Robin Hood’s Bay. The parking space is located at the top of the Bay and is exclusively for our guests.
You’re welcome to drive down to the cottage to unload before parking.
Does Dock Cottage have sea views?
Yes, yes, yes. Dock Cottage has stunning sea views from every single room. Whether you’re relaxing in the living room or waking up in the bedroom, you’ll be able to see the sea.
Watching the sunrise from the cottage is also a real treat. Peeking through the porthole windows at the sea offers a unique and charming perspective.
Do you provide linen and towels?
Yes, Linen and towels are provided. Your beds will be made up on arrival for your group size, so you can just turn up and relax.
Is Dock Cottage suitable for children?
Dock Cottage is family-friendly and loved by families as it is so close to the sea. However, please note that, like many cottages in the area, the stairs are steep and winding.
There are plenty of child-friendly activities right on our doorstep—fossil hunting and rock pooling on the beach, exploring the dinosaur and village museum, and lots of ice cream!
Can I book a supermarket delivery to Dock Cottage?
Unfortunately, delivery vans don’t go down to the dock. However, Muir Lea Stores is just a couple of minutes’ walk from the cottage, and both Aldi and Sainsbury’s are conveniently located about 10 minutes away, just before you reach Whitby.
What are the check-in and check-out times?
Check-in is available from 3:00 PM, and check-out is by 10:00 AM to allow us plenty of time to thoroughly clean and prepare the cottage for our next guests.
If you're checking out on a Sunday, you have the option of a late check-out at 5:00 PM, so you can enjoy a bit more time in the Bay. There is a £25 charge for the late check-out.
Is there a log fire in Dock Cottage
Yes, Dock Cottage has a lovely wood-burning stove in the lounge to keep you warm and cosy, especially during those chilly evenings.
We provide enough logs to get you started, and if you need more, Muir Lea Stores in the lower bay has plenty available. Similarly Baytown stores at the top of the bay is also well stocked.
Is the cottage accessible for those with mobility issues?
Due to the historic nature of the cottage and its location in the heart of the village, there are steps and uneven surfaces that may not be ideal for those with limited mobility.
The main bathroom is also quite compact, making access to the toilet a bit tight. However, there is a separate toilet off the lounge for added convenience.
The bathroom looks a bit tight on the photos?
Yes it is snug. The shower and sink are easily accessible, but access to the toilet is a bit of a squeeze, to say the least. The joys of a 17th century cottage limits what we can do.
However, there is a separate toilet downstairs.
Is there Wi-Fi?
Yes, we provide free Wi-Fi, so you can stay connected during your stay. It is provided by the local community cooperative Bay Broadband.
