Sitting in a blissfully peaceful historic yard – yet surrounded by all the town’s trendy bars and bistros – this homely cottage is the ideal coastal bolthole for a romantic couple or small family looking for a convenient base in the heart of this historic town. Spend some wonderful hours sitting back and enjoying the sea air on Sandsend Beach (2.5 miles), go crabbing in the harbour (just over 300 metres) take a tour of the Dracula Experience (25 metres), hire a boat (50 metres) and sail down the River Esk, take a spooky tour with Whitby Ghost Walk (just over 300 metres) or sample the local beer at Whitby Brewery (0.5 miles). Further afield, stop off for tea and cake at the wonderful Falling Foss Tea Garden (6 miles), where you can sit back and enjoy the sight and sound of the waterfall; or drive into the North York Moors National Park to visit pretty villages like Egton Bridge (8 miles), Glaisdale (10 miles) and Beck Hole (9.5 miles).
Step inside this smart cottage and you’ll find a welcoming lounge/kitchen. Slip onto a sofa and take a moment to make yourself at home before heading to the kitchen area to cook dinner for your loved ones. Dine at the stylish breakfast bar and then make your way outside to the bench at the front of the property to enjoy a glass of wine. When it’s time for bed, you’ll find a lovely double on the first floor, and a cosy single on the second floor. A smart family bathroom on the first floor completes the cottage’s layout.
Outside, there is a pleasant bench from which you can watch the world go by and enjoy a morning coffee.
