Treat your loved one to a memorable escape at this single-storey barn conversion on the Yorkshire coast. Brimming with thoughtful touches to make your stay extra special, there is a cosy wood burner for snuggling beside and a soothing hot tub for romantic soaks under the stars. There is even a private games room for some friendly fun in between your adventures in the surrounding coast and countryside.
The open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining room is the heart of this stylish home. Choose one of the comfy sofas and settle in for a film night in the warm glow of the wood burner or curl up in the armchair with a favourite paperback. Romantic suppers are easy to prepare, with a well-equipped kitchen and a large dining table for serving up your culinary creations. French doors open from here to the patio, so you open them wide on sunny days to let the fresh sea breeze waft through the interior. When night falls, the king-size bedroom is a restful space to drift off, and it boasts an en-suite bathroom with the added luxury of underfloor heating. When the weather is warm, nothing beats a BBQ on the patio outside followed by a dip in the bubbling hot tub. A private games room is also attached to the cottage, with table tennis and a pool table if you’re feeling competitive.
The historic fishing port of Staithes is only 2 miles away when you fancy a day out. Amble along its narrow, cobbled streets, dipping in and out of shops, galleries and places to eat – there is a great selection of traditional inns and cosy cafes serving the freshest seafood. Just along the coast at 7 miles from the cottage is Saltburn-by-the-Sea with its pier, beach and amusements. Enjoy a spot of surfing here or join the coast path and follow the Cleveland Way to explore Whitby and Robin Hood’s Bay.
