With a walled garden, sea views and a dog-friendly beach just a short stroll away, this lovely period house offers a holiday haven for eight guests and four canine chums. Ideal for families or friends sharing, the stone-built, detached property dates back 150 years and is set in the tranquil village of Port Mulgrave. The coastal villages of picturesque Staithes and Runswick Bay, both with pet-friendly beaches, are less than 2 miles away and the glorious North York Moors National Park is within 4 miles.
Guests and furry friends alike will enjoy the ground-floor, underfloor heating in this spacious retreat. Comfortably furnished in a blend of contemporary and country style, it features a lounge with cosy sofas, a wood burner and French doors to the garden. The kitchen/diner houses a splendid range cooker and fridge freezer, with ample seating around the dining table. Upstairs, find four charming bedrooms: a double, a king-size with an en-suite shower and two twins with glorious views of the sea and the North York Moors. A family bathroom has a bath and shower cubicle, and there’s a ground-floor shower room. Outside, the large, enclosed garden has seating, a BBQ and hot tub, perfect for unwinding after the day’s adventures.
Port Mulgrave has a dog-friendly pub, and an excellent restaurant, with more eateries in Staithes and historic Whitby (9.5 miles). Hunt for fascinating fossils on the village beach and discover more on the sandy cove in Staithes. Explore its cobbled streets and pretty harbourside cottages and visit the small museum before enjoying a fresh-caught crab salad. Exhilarating clifftop and country trails abound from the doorstep: take your pups on the circular, 4-mile walk from Port Mulgrave to Staithes, with wonderful views all the way.
