If you can tear yourself away from the games room, social spaces and large garden, you’ll find the wild Runswick Bay, with its sandy beach and fabulous coastal footpaths, within striking distance of this spacious getaway, perfect for families and large groups looking to explore the Yorkshire coast.

After a long day exploring your surroundings, the best remedy for tired walking toes and paws is curling up beside the wood burner in the lounge and catching up with the gang as you unwind on the comfy sofas. As the evening draws in, grab your local produce and head into the well-equipped contemporary kitchen/diner to whip up a delicious feast to feed the crowd seated around the rustic wooden dining table. As day turns to dusk, head to the first floor to find three wonderfully presented bedrooms or climb to the second floor to find the final two double bedrooms before retiring for a well-earned rest. Soak up some sunshine by dining alfresco on the patio as children let off some steam on the enclosed lawn or in the games room which features table football and a pool table.

One of the most postcard-perfect locations along the Yorkshire coast, the charming village of Runswick Bay is alive with breathtaking scenery of charming red-roof cottages clinging to the hillside and a sandy beach (less than half a mile away) perfect for rock pooling, paddling and coastal walking. From the doorstep, keen walkers can join the Cleveland Way National Trail to be rewarded with fabulous coastal scenery and breathtaking sea views. Nestled just under 9 miles down the coast, venture to the Gothic coastal haven of Whitby to explore its historic harbour, maritime history, the maze of cobbled, narrow streets and breathtaking views of the ruins of Whitby Abbey.

Overall we found the Alby House extremely suitable for our extended family of nine. The kitchen is well fitted out for a large group or family. The location for us was perfect as there was access lovely walks and there is a regular bus service along the coast.

This was a return visit for three generations of the Bird/Dunnett family - all eight of us! We loved the house and location last time and so were keen to come back. Greatly well-equipped house catering for all our kids (10, 8 and 2). Table tennis tournaments aplenty! Amazing beach: fantastic house and location, in short!
