Proudly poised at the top of the idyllic seaside village of Runswick Bay, a stone’s throw from its gloriously sandy beach and fabulous coastal footpaths, this wonderfully presented getaway is perfect for families looking to uncover why the picturesque Yorkshire coast is so irresistible.
Boasting a roaring electric fire, a cosy open fire, a palette of typically coastal colours and lovingly furnished interiors throughout, this peaceful property boasts a real warmth which beckons you to unwind on the comfy sofas in either of the two generous lounges, cook up a storm with all your delicious local produce in the contemporary kitchen/diner and plan tomorrow’s adventure with the gang seated around the rustic wooden dining table. Upstairs you’ll find the same soothing atmosphere as downstairs across all three of the lovingly presented bedrooms that’ll send you off into a peaceful slumber before tomorrow’s adventure. Children can let off some steam by playing on the children’s play equipment in the enclosed garden as you enjoy al fresco dining on the patio and star gazing way past bedtime.
Once a busy fishing village, the postcard-perfect Runswick Bay is the perfect spot for a traditional bucket and spade getaway; the wide sandy beach offers calm paddling waters, picturesque views of the pretty cottages clinging to the hillside and a series of Hob Holes, small caves where hobgoblins were reputed to live, to explore. Lace up your walking boots to join the Cleveland Way National Trail from the village to be rewarded with wonderful, scenic coastal walks to the north and south plus breathtaking views of Kettleness. A visit to the Yorkshire coast would not be complete without soaking up the Gothic culture, historic Abbey ruins and winding narrow cobbled streets of Whitby 9 miles away.
