Nestled amid farmland on the edge of the North York Moors, this delightful stone cottage provides a warm and welcoming base for exploring the Yorkshire coast and countryside. Sleeping five guests in three bedrooms, this dog-friendly holiday home benefits from a private patio and far-reaching country views. A dream for outdoor enthusiasts and lovers of gothic history, it’s located between Whitby and Robin Hood’s Bay and surrounded by bridleways traversing open moorland.
Arranged over two storeys, this stone building is bursting with character thanks to wooden beamed ceilings, a feature arched window, and sloping ceilings on the first floor. The spacious kitchen/diner invites evenings of laughter and chatter, with a well-appointed kitchen for rustling up meals with local produce and a farmhouse-style dining table. Next door, the lounge invites relaxation after country walks with a selection of comfortable seating and a wall-mounted TV for cosy film nights. When it’s time for bed, take your pick from a ground-floor single and two first-floor doubles set beneath the eaves, each with a Smart TV. A family bathroom, en-suite WC and handy boot room offer comfort and convenience. Outside, dine alfresco on the patio, or savour a morning cuppa or evening tipple while watching wildlife or stargazing. The property benefits from ample private parking and secure bike storage for those wanting to explore the beauty of the coast by two wheels.
Delve into the picturesque Yorkshire coast, with trips to the fishing village of Robin Hood’s Bay and the gothic seaside resort of Whitby (both 4 miles). Whitby offers plenty for all the family from the striking ruins of Whitby Abbey to the bustling fishing harbour and abundant restaurants serving fresh fish and seafood. You can also hop on a heritage steam train to traverse windswept moorland to the market town of Pickering or set off to explore the bridleways of the North York Moors.
