Property code: OC-WA008

Escape to the countryside for a romantic break for two in this wonderful hideaway in the village of Ruswarp – just two miles outside Whitby. This popular village is a delight to explore. Hire a boat (under 200 metres away) and enjoy an afternoon on the River Esk, stroll hand in hand along the Monk’s Trod trail all the way to Whitby (2 miles), or just pop into the village tearoom to share a treat. Alternatively, head into Whitby for the whole day and try your luck at the Eskape Whitby escape room, take in the fabulous views from Whitby Abbey or sample a handcrafted gin at the Whitby Distillery. Further afield, make a beeline to Scarborough (18.5 miles) to take a surfing lesson, go dolphin-spotting on a boat trip or take a stroll around the town’s medieval castle.

Step inside and head up the attractive wooden stairs to the first floor, where you’ll find a stylish and spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining room. Concertina sliding doors allow natural light to flood this gorgeous space, where you’ll feel immediately at home. Whip up a meal for two and enjoy a romantic start to the evening in the smart dining area, before retiring to the lounge to snuggle up in front of the wood burner. When it’s time for bed, you’ll find a king-size bedroom – also with fabulous concertina doors – downstairs on the ground floor. Rounding off the ground-floor layout you’ll find a chic en-suite bathroom.

Outside, there’s a patio with seating and a balcony with a table and chairs where you can enjoy an after-dinner glass of wine. The views are wonderful. There’s also a separate shared laundry area outside with a washing machine and dryer.

The accommodation was lovely but only criticism I would make it's far too hot you can't get away from the sun or heat with bifold doors if they are open for ventilation you can't use the blind in the bedroom and there are no curtains in the living area a fan might be nice I wouldn't use this properly again but would use the smaller cottagRead moree on the same site as views were lovely.
