A traditional cottage within the charming, old fishing village of Robin Hood’s Bay, this welcoming retreat makes a great base for exploring the coastal area of the North York Moors National Park. Sleeping five guests, the two-bedroom property still reveals its original character, while also offering good space and comfort for a family break. Stroll less than 100 metres from here down to the sandy beach to look for fossils, explore rock pools and admire the sweeping views. Have a day out to Whitby, 5.5 miles away, with its seaside attractions, famous abbey and connections to Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Pack a picnic and head off on walks across the moors or along the coast, following a section of the Cleveland Way perhaps.
Find a warm welcome within this Yorkshire cottage as soon as you cross the threshold. From the hallway, make your way into the lounge/kitchen diner, where the kitchen is a step up from the rest of the room. Stoke up the fire in the wood burner in the stone fireplace on chilly days to create a cosy ambience and find a film to enjoy on the TV. The open-plan nature of the living space means that the chef of the group never needs to feel left out. There is also a washing machine, tumble dryer and additional fridge/freezer housed in a useful outbuilding, together with a pet cage and a WC. Up on the first floor you’ll find a charming double bedroom and the good-sized family bathroom. A narrow, winding staircase, then leads up to the second floor, where a cosy second bedroom with three single beds and sloping ceilings is situated.
Outside there is a shared garden area with tables and chairs where you can enjoy a drink in the fresh air and catch a glimpse of the sea between the rooftops of the other characterful houses.
