Property code: OC-89568

Escape with your loved ones to this thoughtfully renovated cottage situated in the heart of Robin Hood's Bay. With its narrow, cobbled streets and quaint cottages, it is one of the most picturesque villages on the English coastline. Situated between Scarborough and Whitby, this charming old fishing village is found nestling at the edge of a wide sweeping bay backed by spectacular cliffs and dramatic moorland scenery. Stunning views over the magnificent cliffs can be enjoyed, with rock pooling and paddling on the beach, as well as superb walking, with the Cleveland Way and Coast to Coast long-distance walks crossing here. The village has everything you need in the way of amenities, with charming alleyways to explore and plenty of places to rest, relax and take refreshments. A perfect base for enjoying the Yorkshire coast.

This 17th-century traditional stone-fronted cottage has undergone renovation and extensive modernisation. As you step inside you are greeted with lots of charm and original features such as Yorkshire sash windows, beamed ceilings, and fireplaces, with modern conveniences such as underfloor heating. Sip a glass of wine listening to your favourite music, then get the wood burner going and spend the evening snuggled up with one another, perhaps with your dog at your feet, as you catch up on your box sets or stream a movie through the Smart TV.

The children will get into the pirate spirit within their dedicated 'Smugglers Cove' den, cleverly designed at the rear of the cottage. You’ll also discover a good selection of board games, books and DVDs to keep everyone entertained on wild, wet days.

Enjoy quality time as you cook together in the country-style kitchen to create a mouth-watering meal. You’ll have an induction hob, electric oven, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and a microwave to put to good use, especially when you consider what goodies are in store within the local produce shops and artisan bakeries. The friendly owners have even included a welcome pack to help you settle in. Canine friends have been thought of too, as they also have their very own welcome pack to enjoy. Completing the ground floor is a utility room where you can wash your wet and muddy clothes, and a ground floor WC.

Venture up the steep, winding, wooden stairs when sleep calls; there are two bedrooms on the first floor - a double with its own en-suite shower room and a bunk bedroom. As you wake the next morning, wander through to the bathroom, place your towel on the heated rail and enjoy a rejuvenating shower. Climb the traditional winding staircase to the top floor where you will find another double bedroom; all bedrooms offer plenty of furniture to store your belongings.

Take your morning coffee outside to the front of the cottage and have a seat on the bench whilst watching the world go by. The shops and pubs are a stone’s throw away for the nights you would like to take a break from cooking. Who needs to worry about washing up when you can tuck into traditional fish and chips wrapped in newspaper on the seafront?

The cottage was absolutely lovely, really comfortable and in a great location. We really appreciated all the thoughtful touches - great selection of childrens books and games in a great snug area; kitchen with all appliances and utensils we could need, and bowls, toy and treats for dogs. All contributed to a really enjoyable stay.

This is a fabulous location, a short walk from everything, and what a beautiful cottage. There is everything we could want and more, and all the homely touches were very much appreciated. The owners were quick to respond to one query. The pub next door is cosy and everyone we met very friendly.

Lovely, comfortable cottage which has been lovingly restored and is in a great location - close to interesting shops, good places to eat and within easy walking distance of the bay. We managed to buy a permit for the Old School House car park, which is far more convenient than the one at the top of the hill.
