  • Ideally situated in a fantastic coastal setting – just a few metres from a sandy beach
  • A social retreat offering three generous bedrooms, spacious living areas and a lovely rooftop garden
Property code: OC-A33016

Spread across three light-filled storeys, this welcoming coastal retreat is a wonderful base for up to six guests in the village of Sandsend, just outside Whitby. Complete with a multi-level garden with views over the rooftops towards the sea, this stylish, contemporary home awaits a memorable getaway with friends or family.

Reached via a set of external stone steps, the front door opens into the beautifully presented kitchen, fully equipped for preparing meals during your stay. This leads through to a bright and spacious lounge/diner, furnished with comfortable seating, a TV and a charming dining area beside French doors that open onto the garden. On the first floor, you’ll find a family bathroom and two attractive double bedrooms, one of which features a lovely bay window with views across the village. The top floor hosts a further double bedroom with its own en-suite shower room and sea views framed by a large skylight. Outside, the multi-level patio garden provides an inviting space to relax in the fresh sea air. Enjoy al fresco breakfasts, lazy afternoon drinks or peaceful evenings overlooking the village and out towards the water. On-street parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis, with additional parking in a nearby public car park. Please note that the cottage is accessed via steps and cobbles.

Known for its rugged cliffs, rock pools and golden sandy beach, Sandsend is a favourite for gentle seaside strolls and fossil-hunting adventures. Just 3 miles along the coast, the bustling harbour town of Whitby offers even more to explore, with independent shops, cosy cafes, traditional pubs, and famous landmarks such as Whitby Abbey, the 199 Steps and the Captain Cook Memorial Museum. You can even hop aboard a heritage steam train from Whitby to discover the dramatic landscapes of the North York Moors.

Beautiful cottage in stunning Sandsend. Very close to lovely sheltered beach with a little stream perfect for the nippers, they were in their elements! There were 4 adults and 2 children aged 2 and 4, we all had a fabulous time and will definitely return to Appletree Cottage. Worth noting that there are plenty of condiments/cleaning stuff etc leftRead more in cupboards which we found so useful and that was in addition to the welcome pack with tea, milk and biscuits which was a lovely touch, thank you!
