  • A generous, ground-floor apartment, within a grand house, once home to a sea captain
  • Edwardian elegance, contemporary comfort and sea views from the pretty garden
  • Superb location for spectacular Robin Hood’s Bay Beach and coastal walks

Property code: OC-R566

With picturesque views towards the sea and out over leafy green surroundings, this Robin Hood’s Bay apartment makes a tranquil retreat. Sleeping four people, and happy to accommodate four-legged guests, the one-bedroom property is on the ground floor of an imposing house where a sea captain would have lived. Just 0.5 miles from the old fishing village’s sandy beach, where you can hunt for fossils and dip in rock pools, it is a great base for a coastal break. Lace up your walking boots and head out on hikes through the surrounding North York Moors National Park. Follow a 6-mile, circular walk, from Robin Hood’s Bay to Maw Wyke, taking in the headland of Ness Point and stunning clifftop vistas.

Enter this imposing period property via a shared entrance, with an original Edwardian floor, then open the door into your private accommodation. Make your way into the lounge, with a beautiful bay window and high ceiling, to find there is a TV in here, plus a double sofa bed that can accommodate two members of your party. The kitchen diner, with another sofa and TV, is also a generous space and comes equipped with everything you need to cook meals for your family or friends with your own ingredients. Dine in here together too or play games round the table on your evenings in. There is also a double bedroom, with sea views, and a family shower room at this apartment. Patio doors from the kitchen lead out to the garden, down three steps.

Enjoy the gorgeous garden at this apartment. Relax on the bench and gaze out towards the sea or serve meals at the table on the patio during warm weather.

Ideal location, good to have car park and garden for dogs or sitting in. Romantic NO Way. Rooms large, enough equipment etc. Very small shower room with tiny sink. Furniture uncomfortable and very basic.. only comfortable seating was 3 old arm chairs. Shame really it' could be the perfect place if given some TLC. The garden is in need of a goRead moreod cleaning, patio,and paving. Appartment could do with doors, door frames skirting cleaning. It's spring, the start of the busy season. Especially Easter, so the Appartment should be stick and span ready for use. This is the only second property I have booked through cottages .co and both places I have been disappointed. Think I'll stick with Sykes. I g away 4/5 times a year so need something good. Hide

The property is in a good location for coastal walks and a distant sea view which is lovely. The garden isnt medium dog plus friendly as the fence is low in parts. Our two rebels escaped.

The location is perfect for a stay in Robin Hoods Bay. Unfortunately when we were there, the moors were on fire and the house and village were full of smoke! This was very unpleasant of course and the smoke alarm was going off at all times of the night and day. We decided to leave before we had to be evacuated as all roads to the south were alreaRead moredy closed. We did not even receive any communication from the booking company. Hide

We had a pleasant stay and really enjoyed the peaceful location and charm of the cottage. Its a cosy place with lots of potential, and we appreciated the essentials being provided. That said, the interior is a little dated and could benefit from some modern touches and freshening up to bring it up to its full potential. With a bit of updating, it cRead moreould be a truly lovely retreat. Still, it was a comfortable base for exploring the area, and were glad we stayed. Hide

We had a lovely holiday,but the apartment is tierd and needs money spending. Cleanliness was just acceptable. 850 and no towels. Its only a one bedroom and a bed settee. Curtains in the lounge . Everytime we shut them more hooks came out. Such a shame could be amazing

The property met my requirements. There is a parking space on the driveway which is great and the little garden is lovely. The location was perfect too, only a couple of minutes walk to the bay. The apartment was clean and the bed and living room furniture were comfy. The standby button on the tv remote in the living room doesnt work (I only realisRead moreed this when Id bought batteries for it) so hopefully theyll rectify this, and the tv signal on all channels is unwatchable.

This property was very disappointing. Needs a good clean at front entrance and garden needs a good sort out. Nothing like the photos in ad. Bed very uncomfortable and shower room way too small. On the plus side a great location and lovely views from back.

The house is good but both this and the garden are tired and need a deep clean. The sofa bed in the lounge is very hard to sit on so we spent most of our evening time in the kitchen room.

Great location to explore the Yorkshire coastline. Parking on site is a bonus.

Location was excellent & knowing the Bay, it was exactly where we wanted to be. The standard of the property was exactly as described. The small garden was neat & tidy and our young dog was safe to be outside. Would we book again? . . Certainly. All in all it did exactly what it said on the tin.
