Location
Reighton is a quiet conservation village, bypassed from the main coastal road (A165). It has a church, a book exchange point, an active village hall (offering Arts and Crafts, Pilates, pub nights, social lunches, coffee meets and more) and a renowned garden centre with Richardsons Old Town Bakery outlet outside.

The property is situated just a lovely 20 minute walk from the village to the fabulous sandy beach at Reighton Gap, with access down a quiet country land and public footpath, or there is a permissive equestrian route to the beach via a tarmaced track.

Reighton Gap is set within Filey bay, offering views and cliff top walks to Filey and the Brigg in one direction, and Bempton cliffs (where there is an RSPB reserve-puffins, gannets, razorbills, guillemots and other seabirds) the other way. Dolphins and porpoises are regularly seen crossing Filey bay.

Reighton Gap offers on street parking-it is quieter than the neighbouring Hunmanby Gap, and arguably has a better beach which adjoins the white chalk stone of Speeton Sands. At Hunmanby Gap there is an open-all-year-round cafe overlooking the sea. There is also a seasonal beach cafe/shop with outdoor seating only below Reighton Sands Holiday Caravan Park.

The community of Hunmanby is just 2 miles away, past beautiful views of the sea. Hunmanby has pubs and useful shops, and just as you come in, the pretty train station with a direct train to Scarborough and Sheffield and a link to York with easy available parking. The Bay holiday village (approx 1 mile) on the route to Filey, offers a swimming pool, tennis courts and a gym. There is a school bus pick up and a regular bus service to Scarborough and Bridlington, where there are theatres, cinemas and other entertainments.
