Swap the everyday grind for the wide-open vistas on Robin Hood’s Bay at this gorgeous fisherman's cottage in the heart of the old village. It’s the ideal accommodation option for small families or groups of friends in search of some peace and tranquillity in an unbeatable coastal location. Sitting just 5 miles south of Whitby and 15 miles north of Scarborough, Robin Hood’s Bay is steeped in history. The village is a delight to explore, with its brooding cliffs and its quaint charming cottages that spill right down to the edge of the sea. Take a stroll along the beautiful beach and you may be lucky enough to find some fossils. Later in the day, lose yourself in the village’s winding cobbled streets, where there are plenty of cafes and pubs to take a break in. Alternatively, head inland to Sneaton Forest (12 miles) to gaze upon the famous Falling Foss waterfall, or if you are feeling particularly adventurous, check the tide timetable and walk 3 miles along the beach to Ravenscar. Further afield, head into Scarborough and take a boat trip to meet the seals, go surfing or treat yourself to some fish and chips.

Step inside this characterful cottage and make your way up to the first floor. There, you’ll find a welcoming lounge/dining room with a pretty feature fireplace. Make yourself at home and then head to the kitchen. You’ll find everything you need to create a culinary feast for your loved ones. Get the gang together to eat at the dining table and then while the night away by the fireplace in the lounge area. When it’s time for bed, there are two lovely bedrooms to choose from – a double on the ground floor that has an en-suite WC, and a twin on the second floor. A chic family bathroom on the second floor rounds off the cottage’s layout.

Outside, you’ll discover a lovely patio with a table and chairs – a truly beautiful place to pour yourself a drink and take in the stunning sea views. The Cottage is not suitable for anyone with mobility issues.

Storm Cottage is a unique, very well presented, equipped and modernised holiday home. Please be aware that there are only steep/narrow spiral stairs with just a rope but no handrail between the three floors and that the main shower room on the top floor is very narrow with small space-saver wash basin (bottom floor sink-in-room is better). This Read moreis a unique 17th century (c.1660s) cliff-top cottage within the original dwellings high above the coast and must have the best view of any. As this hamlet was built high on a steep cliff when the only transport was by foot or mule there are only steep narrow cobbled and slabbed dimly lit paths and passageways once off the single steep tarmac lane down to the beach. Access from the lane to Storm Cottage is only by foot so travel light and expect a couple of trips from your car (over 100 metres up a 13 metre rise by foot!), and back when you leave. Once in you have to move your car. Be prepared - the nearest car park is 0.3 Km along/44M up but rarely a vacant bay (the next/largest car park is 0.7 Km away/65M up from Storm Cottage). Once settled in it is a very cosy cottage with superb sea views in a unique location enjoy! Hide

Storm cottage is a cosy retreat with an exceptional location overlooking the sea at Robin Hoods Bay. It made a great base for exploring the coastal area and the local pubs. We hope to return.

Such a lovely peaceful perfect view makes this a great holiday venue. Some minor quirks but a great place to relax especially during such a sunny week.

What a wonderful cottage! On arrival, we were all speechless at the view - the location is amazing. The cottage was comfortable, clean and quirky (on three levels) with a fascinating history. We absolutely loved our stay, although very close to Whitby and other interesting spots like Falling Foss most days we were happy to stay and explore Robin HoRead moreods Bay. Beautiful walks in either direction along the coast and cinder trail. I would thoroughly recommend a holiday here and hope to visit again! Hide

Cant beat the location! It is magnificent (if tricky to find the first time). We loved our stay! The cotrage is very basic with a full kitchen but lacking bath towels. The beds are very comfortable and the views are unbeatable! I would recommend staying here but be prepared to bring your own towels and maybe a bit of a hunt for the cottage the firsRead moret time.
