Outstanding location. High end cottage and service. Excellent local staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Came out immediately to sort things out when we couldn’t get oven on.
Vanguard cannot fail to please. The location is spectacular & attention to detail just super. Everything we needed to reconnect with nature, space & well being. Our only regrets was the short time we had there
Second time at the lighthouse just as we remembered and got a look around the actlual lighthouse as maintenance was taking place. Lovely welcome by Evelthe housekeeper
Lovely weekend, accommodation good, shame about the air vents rattling all night.
Superb standard of accommodation in a lovely location. Great welcome hamper and lovely support from the housekeeper, Evelyn. Would definitely book again and highly recommend !
Well presented, clean cottage with everything provided for our stay. Lovely food hamper when we arrived.
A beautiful cottage in which to spend the weekend with family, close to Whitby and with wonderful views out to sea. Would highly recommend.
What a superb retreat. Extremely well presented, personally prepared, a warmly inviting, private. What you would really expect from a retreat; completely disconnected from the internet and a mobile signal. A place for solitude and reflection, if that's what you like, but not too far from the real world if required. Really looking forward to having another stay.
Wonderful location, beautiful cottage with everything you could wish for. Great walks. Very warm and cosy - and Evelyn very welcoming and helpful. Wifi would have been a bonus - but good to have a break from it!
What a fantastic holiday we had.view over looking sea was breathtaking so chilled out.Th cottage next to lighthouse was fabulous went above our expectations The food hamper & wine was the finishing touches. Loved every moment. We will be back
The cottage was stunning, beautifully clean and the welcome hamper was fab! We only have one criticism, the double mattress needs replacing in the master bedroom, it says terribly in the middle. But we would 100% stay there again!
Beautiful cottage, superb location. Very attentive and conscientious housekeeper. Extremely clean, and well prepared for our stay. We had an amazing time. 30 minutes walk along the cliff path to a lovely wide beach, with sand and rock pools, but do check the times of the tides. Unfortunately the outside chairs shown in the photograph are at the next door cottage. Vanguard only has an old pub bench, so bring your own recliners if you wish to sunbathe.
Thank you for your lovely feedback for Vanguard. We have adjusted our web page to make the outside furniture information more accurate.
The house was beautifully prepared by the housekeeper and is in a stunning position offering complete peace, great coastal walking from the door and wonderful views. It would be worth mentioning to future guests that it is some 2.5 miles outside Whitby along a narrow farm track and that there is absolutely no phone signal or internet connection in the property.
Really good accomodation, good views lovely kitchen, clean and tidy. No wifi.
Amazing, I was so upset when we had to leave, such a beautiful location and very comfortable and lovely people to deal with.
Excellent accommodation. Very clean well stocked Would be improved if there was WiFi available Only 1 toilet which was a bit of a challenge The sofas were very uncomfortable which wouldn’t be a problem if the weather was nice and you could spend more time outdoors. The beds were very comfortable.
Another lovely lighthouse. Good COVID precautions and great location. Whitby itself too busy in these challenging times
Great location, excellent quality and presentation and loved the welcome hamper!
Excellent cottage with fine sea views. The cottage was well presented with a beautiful hamper full of local produce.
