I have just returned after staying in Fenay Cottage for a week with M and Dot. Dot simply loves the beach. Despite her only being 14 weeks old she loves to run around playing chase with any dog she meets. Robin Hoods Bay really is the best place in the world for dogs, with beach and hillside walks and loads of dog friendly cafes and pubs. We were pleasantly spoilt by a visit from our daughter and her chocolate Labrador puppy called Rolo. Dot and Rolo ended up happily tired having run and played chase on the beach, been taken for walks and fussed over by lots of nice folk.
Continuing the Fun and Fitness M and I managed long beach walks every day and shorter beach combing / Dot training walks each morning. Dot is getting better and better at walking on a lead, and is learning to return quickly when called. She really hasn’t got a clue when it comes to fetch type games, she will quickly and efficiently chase a tennis ball down and stop it, she then leaves it where she stopped it and returns directly to us. I’m certain M has been secretly training her to do this simply to increase my exercise, in that I seem to be walking further as a result. Overall this has been a nicely active holiday with lots of walking and lots of fun.
Robin Hoods Bay is blessed with a number of cafes and restaurants including our particular favourites of The Bramblewick, and The Wayfarer. Both establishments specialise in fresh seasonal sea food dishes, with a good range of meat and vegetarian alternatives. We have never had anything but excellent food and good service at either place. They have very individual styles and we absolutely love the differences in atmosphere between the restaurants. If you are planning a trip to Robin Hoods bay then plan and book as both establishments fill up really quickly.
