Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.

"Lovely property, well equiped and clean."
A very quiet location down a single track road with a few passing places, we were lucky though as only met other traffic once.
Good location for Whitby and Robins Hood Bay, a little further afield Scarborough and Filey. Around half hour walk to Robins Hood Bay.
A lovely view especially when washing up, made it less of a chore! Lol.
We had a wonderful break, definately be back to Seawinds when visiting the area again. We would highly recommend, great quiet rural location in comfy accommodation.
Thanks for the welcome pack it was most appreciated, the flowers smelt beautiful.

"We had a wonderful week in Seawinds."
It is a lovely house and garden in a most peaceful setting. The beds were comfy (not always the case with S/C) and the bathroom/shower excellent. The conservatory was the perfect place to enjoy the odd glass of wine each evening whilst enjoying the views of open countryside leading to Ravenscar. A perfect base to explore this marvellous area.

"Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Seawinds."
The cottage was very well equipped with all bedding, towels, cleaning equipment and even a small welcome pack. It was clean and comfortable with sea views to the front and countryside to the back. It was well placed for visiting surrounding towns and attractions. It was a 10 minute walk down to Fylinthorpe with its well stocked shop and pub and a further 10 minutes walk to Robins Hood Bay. We will definitely like to stay here again.

"A lovely cottage and very well equipped with everything provided that you could wish for."
No dishwasher but the view from the kitchen window made washing up a pleasure. Excellent facilities for recycling as well which not all properties have. Lots of information given about how things worked, hot water, bin days etc. Only gave a recommendation of 8 as it is fairly remote and up a hill from the village and Robin Hood’s Bay which not everyone would like. We loved it and walked the hill fairly frequently, using the local bus service instead of the car. We will certainly return.

"Absolutely fantastic cottage!"
Spotless, extremely comfortable and everything we needed was there. Garden was beautiful and very peaceful...just what my family needed to rest and unwind after a few difficult months. Our 4 year old grandson loved playing in the garden and watering the plants and flowers. Conservatory was a bonus! We did not watch television all week. We sat in the conservatory each night and played board games which we haven't done for years. By far, the best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in and hence a truly wonderful holiday. Thank you so much!

"My partner and i have stayed in cottages all over England and this cottage is definitely one of the best!"
IMMACULATELY clean. plenty of utensils e.t.c.
It was so lovely to sit outside in the beautiful garden with the fantastic views of the sea in the distance and fields with cows .Saw lots of birds and wildlife,
Night time was wonderfully peaceful and the beds were super comfy. probably the best nights sleep we have had in months.
it was great to have the use of a washer drier as we had a few very rainy days.
lovely conservatory to sit in though which did not spoil our holiday.
The cottage is ideally placed .We visited Whitby ,Scarborough, .Robin hoods bay and Ravenscar .Also lots of lovely walks but the cottage is so lovely some days we just stayed in and relaxed.
We were very sad to leave and wished we had booked two weeks instead of one!
would definitely return and do not hesitate to recommend it to anyone,

"This cottage is everything you would want for a break away."
It was spotless and had all the necessary equipment you could want. We loved sitting in the conservatory in the mornings and then going and about. Its very near to Robins Hood Bay and just a short drive to Whitby and all the surrounding areas.
There are many lovely places to eat and I would highly recommend the Water Wheel, the Fox and Hounds and also the Three Jolly Sailors. If you want a light bit or even a breakfast the Abbey View cafe at the Victoria Garden Centre opposite the park and ride is very good food and very reasonably priced

"As a three generation family we appreciated the ground floor bedroom which grandparents used, leaving the children and grandchildren to the first floor."
The enclosed garden was great for our 1 and 3 year old - the only problem there was the small drop by the trellising which we had to be careful of. We liked the inclusion of children's plastic plates, bowls and cups, though there was only one set of cutlery of a smaller size. We requested a cot and high chair at the booking stage which we read was available - I'm not sure that was on the booking confirmation or later correspondence. The twin beds were a little on the high side for a 3 year old but we overcame that by moving the mattress to the floor. All rooms were of a good size and the kitchen was well equipped, barring a dish washer. All instruction manuals for equipment were available. Parking spaces for two cars was good. The narrow road to the property was fine to drive along - not much traffic came by giving us a lovely peaceful week. Views were lovely.

Where you’ll be staying
ROBIN HOOD’S BAY
Whitby 6 miles; Scarborough 17 miles.
Robin Hood's Bay, with its narrow cobbled streets and quaint cottages, is one of the most picturesque villages on the English coastline. Situated between Scarborough and Whitby, this charming old fishing village is to be found nestling at the edge of a wide sweeping bay backed by spectacular cliffs and dramatic moorland scenery, and was once home to author Leo Walmsley. All holidaymakers will love the beach and its cliff-top walks, whilst more serious walkers will enjoy the many long distance trails that pass through the Cleveland Way, the Lyke Wake Walk and the Coast to Coast walks which all take in Robin Hood’s Bay. The village amenities are superb, with charming alleyways to explore and plenty of places to rest, relax and take refreshment. A perfect base for enjoying the Yorkshire Coast.
