At Estbek, we like to assure you of our attention to detail. Looking through the Yorkshire sash window, you will be greeted with a view of the East Beck, which in Old English was known as ‘Estbek’ - Estbek House being given its name as the last reference to the East Beck.

‘Flo’ is home to pictures by Andrea Bailey, a truly local artist once living in Sandsend. You will see why this is such a fitting picture of the ducks - a carbon copy of your view!
