Property code: OC-WA101

A tastefully designed studio apartment nestled in the tranquil green countryside of the North York Moors, this romantic bolthole is the perfect rural escape for a couple and their tufty-pawed companions. Get tails wagging with a scamper along the rugged Robin Hood’s Bay where your furry friends can sniff out rock pools and uncovers fossils, before stretching out sandy paws in the enclosed garden while the humans tuck into an al fresco aperitif with an unbeatable view.

This charming countryside property boasts a compact, yet cleverly designed space styled in Farrow and Ball paints with quality furnishings and vibrant decor. Step into the open-plan heart of the home and rustle up some post-adventure treats for your pups in the sleek kitchen with granite worktops. Perch at the breakfast bar with a glass of wine or cuddle up on the sofa and bask in the wonderful views beyond. Rest up in the peaceful bedroom area with a wrought-iron bedframe then, on crisp mornings, fire up the wood burner and indulge in a cooked breakfast gathered around the dining table. Soak in the morning sun from the leafy patio area while your energetic pups enjoy zoomies on the grassy lawn.

Explore the quaint streets of Sleights and stock up on tasty local produce or swing by the local watering hole for a round with the hound, within 500 metres. History buffs and cultured canines will delight in sniffing out the crumbling gothic ruins of Whitby Abbey, 5 miles, and sauntering through the museum. Stroll the cobbled Old Town of Whitby, 5 miles, and indulge in a fresh seafood lunch overlooking the harbour or enjoy a blustery clifftop amble at the legend-steeped Robin Hood’s Bay, 8 miles.

Beautiful cottage in a perfect location. Very clean and well equipped. A lovely welcome basket for us and our dog and we appreciated the extra touches - home made bread (which made the cottage smell delicious!) and loved the record player! We will definitely return.
