This sweet, quaint cottage has been owned by the same family for five generations and the property radiates their long-term love and care. Tucked away down a pretty footpath in the heart of Robin Hood’s Bay, this Grade II listed cottage is ideally located for a couple or a small family group keen to explore the beach, coastline, shops and eateries of the popular bay area. Bustling Whitby is within easy reach at 5.5 miles, offering a plethora of seaside and historic attractions. Walkers are well served too, with the North York Moors National Park on the doorstep and the spectacular Cleveland Way passing through the village.

This delightful property has accommodation over three floors. From the footpath, guests enter via a porch and here, the ground floor comprises a traditional cottage kitchen/diner with a dining table and chairs, a stunning stonework feature fireplace and views over the rooftops of Robin Hood’s Bay. There is also a large utility room with convenient storage for bikes. The first floor has a welcoming lounge with a lovely reading/relaxing area and more of those lovely rooftop views, and there’s also a bathroom on this level. On the second floor (reached by steep, winding stairs), there are two bedrooms with sloping, beamed ceilings – one double with sea views and one cosy single.

There’s no dedicated outside space here, however there is a wooden bench located outside the front of the property. Robin Hood’s Bay Beach is just over 300 metres away.

I absolutely loved this property. It was spacious enough, cosy and had that original cottage feel which we really loved. I am planning on staying here next year too. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Alice cottage is a very old propery with the layout to prove it....the pictures on the websitw dont give an honest view of what to expect. There are 2 very steep sets if stairs between the kitchen and bedrooms...as we expected in a Robin hoods bay old property .... but we feel the website should more honestly show them. This property is not suuRead moretable for anyone with mobility issues and we think families wuth small children will be concerned about the stairs too. Furniture is old and uncomfortable. Property is dirty and full of cobwebs. Instructuon manual is missing key data e.g for oven. Heating instructions need updating. It may have been a loved family house at one time but we think everything needs an upgrade if you want to keep it advertised at its current price. Location is the only thing it currently has going for it but we would book elsewhere. Hide

Lovely cottage with a wonderful view of rooftops across the village. Bench outside the house was nice for sitting with a cuppa and breakfast and friendly chats with passers by. All the amenities you need. Bedrooms are very close to one another (one lovely double room and a very compact single bedroom) so ear plugs advised!
