A unique, modern bolthole, with a Mediterranean flavour, this inviting abode is tucked away in the historic quarter of Whitby, close to the renowned 199 steps. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom, property has a generous courtyard, where you can soak up the views. Head out from the property to explore charming, cobbled lanes; climb the steps up to the dramatic ruins of Whitby Abbey or wander 100 metres down to Tate Hill Beach. Whitby’s main, much larger, sandy beach is about 0.5 miles away and, with a pier and donkey rides, offers plenty of traditional, seaside family fun. Walking enthusiasts may well wish to head out along the coast path or plan excursions into the North York Moors National Park.
Climb more than 40 steps up to this holiday home, which sits in an elevated position. Enter at ground-floor level and make your way into the lounge/diner to take in the views and open the doors on to the courtyard on warm days. Watch TV or listen to some music. When members of your party become hungry, wander into the generous kitchen/diner, which is equipped with everything you need to help you whip up tasty dishes with the fresh ingredients you have bought in Whitby, then dine together at the table in here or in the lounge/diner. One of your bedrooms, a double room, with patio doors on to a rear courtyard area and an en-suite bathroom, is also at this level. Climb the stairs up from the lounge to discover a twin bedroom, with a TV, en-suite shower room and views out over the town.
Choose whether to sit out in the courtyard areas to the front or back of this holiday home. Set the picnic tables for meals out in the fresh air and take in the far-reaching views from the front.
