Runswick Bay is top dog for water sports or a traditional bucket-and-spade holiday, and this charming property is perfectly positioned for enjoying both. Sleeping six humans and one lucky pup, you’ll soon be enjoying your peaceful surroundings and the short stroll to the sandy bay. After a busy day of exploring the windswept coastline, pour a drink and settle down to appreciate the views from the vantage point of your private terrace.
Scamper up the steps and slip inside to find your open-plan living space, an elegant setting with wood-panelled ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glass walls. Light the wood burner effect electric fire and curl up with a mug of hot chocolate, watch TV/DVD or break out the board games. The kitchen has all the essentials for cooking up a storm, and there are dining options inside and outside depending on what takes your fancy. Three welcoming bedrooms await: two twin rooms and a king-size with an en-suite shower room. There is also a family bathroom.
Overlooked by the red-roofed cottages of the village, beautiful Runswick Bay is a horseshoe-shaped cove with a vast stretch of golden sand and plenty of rock pools to sniff out. Best of all, the beach has no seasonal dog restrictions, so your waggy-tailed friend is welcome all year round. Coupled with car-free streets and an array of restaurants and cafes, it is easy to see why this is such a popular destination for humans and hounds alike. For the adventurous, the Cleveland Way passes right through the village, and there are many towns and villages to explore such as Staithes, Sandsend, and Whitby (all within 10 miles).
