Overview
Three pet-friendly cottages in Muston village, 2.9 km from the coast, with private gardens and an electric vehicle charging station
Amenities
Blacksmiths Cottages offers three individually named holiday homes: The Old Smithy, Little Smithy, and Blacksmiths Cottage. Each cottage has a private courtyard or garden with outdoor furniture, and a fully equipped kitchenette with a washing machine and dishwasher. A dedicated electric vehicle charging station is available on-site for guests with electric cars.
Dog-Friendly Policy
The cottages are among the most dog-friendly in the region, providing dog bowls, treats, a three-peaks dog bed, and throws for furniture. Guests receive a welcome note from the owners' own dog, and the enclosed gardens allow pets to roam safely. The property does not charge extra fees for dogs, making it a stress-free base for pet owners.
Location
The cottages sit in the quiet village of Muston, 2.9 km from Muston Sands Beach and 3.8 km from Filey Beach. A bus route (No. 12) stops in the village, providing direct service to Filey, Bridlington, and Scarborough. The local pub, The Ship, serves homemade food and is a 2-minute walk from the cottages, though it closes on Mondays and Tuesdays.
Guest Ratings & Consistency
Across multiple stays, guests have awarded the cottages a perfect 10/10 rating, citing spotless cleanliness, quality fixtures, and a 'home from home' feel. Reviewers consistently praise the king-size beds, spacious showers, and thoughtful extras such as a pint of milk in the fridge. The property maintains a 100% recommendation rate from both couples and families.
Points of Interest
Filey town centre and beach are a 5-minute drive away, with supermarkets, fish-and-chip shops (Inghams), and a cliff-top café with coastal views.

“The quiet village setting, with free parking and private grounds, makes for a truly restful escape, especially given its convenient proximity to Filey and other coastal towns. What struck me was the thoughtful provision of amenities, from quality fittings to those often-forgotten essentials, all within a spacious and elegantly appointed cottage. It feels like a considered space, designed for ease and comfort, with a lovely garden to boot.”
