Perfect Getaway
This was a return visit to Top Gallant and it was as idyllic as we remembered. The cottage is quaint and cozy and equipped with everything you need … and the views from the windows and lovely little terrace are stunning. Already dreaming of next year’s visit.

excellent stay
Had a wonderful long weekend stay at Top Gallant. The view was amazing and made even better with the full moon reflecting on the sea! Everything is as listed, photos accurate, the house was clean and warm and the bed was very comfortable. It is a perfect location for exploring the area and I would highly recommend a stay here.

A little gem
We were looking for a quirky, comfortable and peaceful hideaway with stunning views and found it at Top Gallant. The cottage was beautifully furnished and equipped with everything we needed. The little balcony is an added bonus and adds to the wow factor. We sat there late into the night listening to the waves on the beach and looking up at the stars. Our three days of walking the cliff paths and exploring this fabulous area just wasn’t enough. Already planning our return. Thank you Bev for sharing Top Gallant.

Heaven on earth!
Had the most amazing time at Top Gallant - the views from the balcony were spectacular and the accommodation was fabulous - spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished and very well equipped - we literally could not fault anything. The bottle of wine was a lovely touch which we enjoyed sat on the balcony overlooking the bay. We could have stayed forever, cant wait to return.

Top gallant is a beautifully appointed property in the perfect spot overlooking Runswick.bay. The views from the bedroom window and the balcony are spectacular. The welcome bottle of french sauvignon was a lovely gesture . Super comfy bed and sofa. Good kitchen facilities with the added bonus of a great coffee machine. If we had any criticism, maybe black out blinds in the bedroom for us light sleepers, but otherwise perfect ! Cant wait to return.

Fantastic break "up north" at a fabulous location & venue!
It was idyllic setting so much so that my wife and I were more than happy to stay in during the evenings and make total use of the cottage which was perfect for the two of us and the log fire/burner stove was great and created a very relaxing atmosphere smart TV was all connected to usual needs i.e. Netflix etc. - just missing was the personal service folk LOL ! The view from the bed in the morning out across the bay was wonderful and sitting in the late afternoon & early evening time having an alcoholic beverage was great - I believe we will be returning again at some point in the near future.

Mini Break
Fantastic cottage to stay in. Clean, comfortable, cozy with a fabulous view from the bedroom window and the balcony which was lovely to sit and relax on. Attention to detail was unreal. There was nothing left to chance. Everything that we might need was there. There are long and short walks for those who enjoy walking, but also a good bus service to nearby towns like Staithes, Sandsend, Saltburn and Whitby.

Location stunning. Great walking, beautiful scenery and gorgeous sunrises. Cottage was clean, quirky, well equipped with fabulous views all around. Lots of lovely extra touches. peaceful and relaxing. We would return without hesitation. The location is hilly and the cottage also has lots of steps outside and inside, just to keep in mind if you are a less mobile. Thank you for the best stay ever.

Beautiful Bolthole, perfect location
We have missed staying at Top Gallant so much and were delighted to have been able to book a long weekend away here. The cottage is beautifully kitted out in a homely fashion. It's a real home from home with everything you could need. The bottle of wine is a real welcome. Very quiet in Nivember _ just how we like it. The Royal Hotel (local pub) is only open Friday/Saturday/ Sunday in winter.

A perfect place to stay to rest and recuperate on my own.
The views from Top Gallant were breathtaking. Every attention to detail. All very comfortable. Home from home. Very tastefully decorated. The bed and bedding were good quality and very comfortable. The downstairs bathroom was not a problem.The distance from the Turning circle to the cottage is not very far and the steps are shallow. There are metal steps up to the cottage but again this wasn't a problem as I traveled light. Bev's communication and instructions were excellent. The bottle of wine was a kind, thoughtful touch. Thank you Bev for sharing your lovely Top Gallant. A perfect peaceful place to rest and recouperate. Ideal for spending my first holiday on my own. It lifted my spirits. Stunning sunrises from the bedroom.
