This enchanting stone-built cottage offers a perfect blend of light and airy accommodation with cosy period features making it an ideal property for couples or small families all year round. Situated in the delightful village of Low Hawsker, the property is less than half a mile away from the village pub and only 1 mile away from the Heritage Coastline of the North Yorkshire Moors. Just under 2 miles away you’ll find the picturesque fishing village of Robins Hood’s Bay, whilst the seaside town of Whitby is just 3 miles away. Whether it’s fossil hunting on the beach, exploring the shops and restaurants aligning the twisted cobbled streets or discovering a history of smugglers, shipwrecks, and vampires, there’s something here for everyone. If guests seek something a little less bustling, the beautiful waterfall at Falling Foss and access to the Cleveland Way and cycle track are also just 5 and 6 miles away respectively.

This quaint yet elegant, three-storey cottage is warm and welcoming with well-proportioned and tastefully decorated rooms. On the ground floor, you’ll find an entrance porch leading into the cosy living space with a wood burner. The modern kitchen is well equipped and comes with a traditional gas range. The first floor comprises a spacious bedroom with a double and a single bed, featuring charming décor. There is a modern bathroom complete with walk-in shower. On the second floor, you’ll find an attic-style bedroom with a quirky sloping roof and exposed beams. Please note, due to the cottage-style stairs leading directly to the bedroom, this room may not be suitable for very young children.

Outside, a courtyard, garden and patio area with seating complete the property.

A very clean cottage in a great location for Whitby, Robin Hood's Bay and Scarborough. Thank you for the welcome treats! Parking available over the road (we attempted the garage but it was too tight). Great communication from the owner.

Ness Cottage was lovely. It's in an excellent location and was easy to find. It's a 5 minute walk to the Cinder Track which will take you on a nice, fairly flat stroll to Whitby or Robin Hood's Bay (or further if you feel like it). The Coast to Coast path is also 5 minute walk away too. There are supermarkets and a petrol station less than 5 mins dRead morerive away. Buses are very regular. The cottage was spotless and very well equipped. The owner has thought of everything and was a lovely treat to have some wine and biscuits left as well as tea, coffee and milk. Beds were comfy, lots of clothes hangers and towels. WiFi was good throughout the cottage, TV was temperamental but that's hardly an issue. The garden was nice, this is across the shared alley that runs behind the row of cottages, it's clearly marked which garden belongs to Ness Cottage, and has garden furniture in. We didn't use it as the weather didn't play too fair! On street parking was good so we didn't use the garage (also clearly marked). I don't know if this cottage is suitable for little children due to the stairs being partially open and the stairs to the top bedroom are very steep so wouldn't recommend that floor for people with mobility issues. It has a very fancy, double shower but no bath so might not be suitable for children. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend it. Also, it's huge on the inside, proper TARDIS of a place!

This was our 3rd stay at Ness Cottage and won't be our last. Ideally situated for a walk along the Cinder Track either way to Whitby or Robin Hoods Bay. Regular buses right by the cottage. No problem with on street parking. Well equipped kitchen with separate counter top freezer if you've gone prepared for cooking meals and nice private garden sligRead morehtly detached from the house but secure for dogs once in, if the weather is kind. Spacious bedrooms for families. All in all can't recommend this cottage enough. Pub across the road and shops a 5 minute drive away for restocking. Ness Cottage certainly has a bit of our hearts.

Overall enjoyable stay & would recommend. Very clean & comfortable, with some well thought out complimentary additions. Only issue is holiday cottages (booking agent ) hidden extras, on top of advertised price. Check before you book with them.
