Just minutes from the beach, this charming cottage is set in the heart of picturesque Robin Hood’s Bay. Historic features blend beautifully with modern comforts, and it boasts a sun-trap patio as well as three bedrooms, making it ideal for couples, friends and families, plus a canine companion, too.

Full of character, this appealing getaway is set over three storeys and its original features include exposed beams, wooden floors, lovely fireplaces and cottage-style staircases. The open-plan living space includes a compact kitchen area - with a cooker, butler’s sink, fridge/freezer and a microwave in a cupboard, an extendable dining table, a large sofa and a Smart TV. A wood-burner-effect gas stove creates a cosy atmosphere in chilly weather. One of the double bedrooms is on the first floor, boasting a beautiful metal bed and an antique chest of drawers; next door is the family bathroom with a shower over the bath. On the second floor there’s another double bedroom and a bunk-bed room for two, with hanging space on the landing. The sun-trap patio has seating - ideal for some quiet moments in the fresh air. From here, stone steps lead up to a bonus space: a lovely garden room which, while unheated, boasts an ornamental fireplace and a large table and chairs.

The steeply sloping streets of Robin Hood’s Bay are dotted with lovely shops, pubs and places to eat, and lead down to a historic dock and a picturesque beach. Walkers will love the choice of scenic strolls and hikes, whether along the coast path or heading inland. You can reach Ravenscar and its seal colony in 4 miles, or Whitby with its many attractions in 6 miles. For a family day out, Scarborough, 16 miles, has a water park and a sea-life centre.

Thank you for our wonderful few days in your lovely, cosy cottage. Here for a 50th birthday celebration this time but would love to come again.

We had an all too short long weekend at Holmlea and really enjoyed the cottage and Robin Hoods Bay. 60 steps up and down 2 or 3 times a day is really good for your legs. Next time we come to Robin Hoods Bay will be sure to stay at this lovely property.

We loved this property, perfect for a three generation family holiday. Very steep stairs, fine for us but not for the very young or very old! Well equipped and beautifully clean on arrival. The location was great too, half way up the steep hill in one of the narrow streets. Lots to explore and within easy reach of the beach, which is perfect for roRead moreck polling and fossil hunting. Would not hesitate to recommend this quaint little cottage. Hide
