  • Delightful stone cottage nestled on the coastal fringes of the North York Moors National Park

  • The perfect base from which to explore Whitby, Robin Hood’s Bay and the surrounding National Park
Property code: OC-N30332

This rural retreat sits amongst the breathtaking Yorkshire countryside, just 4.5 miles from Whitby. The property has a sociable, open-plan layout and welcomes five guests and one furry companion. Set on the edge of the North York Moors, the surrounding area is a paradise for walkers and four-pawed explorers. Days out from the cottage include the seaside town of Scarborough (16.5 miles) and the picturesque moorland village of Goathland (9 miles).

The stone cottage is set on a working farm alongside a handful of similar holiday homes. Inside, the property is bright and inviting with contemporary furniture and homely touches throughout. After a long dog walk, relax in the beautiful lounge with its gorgeous arched window and wood-clad ceiling. Watch a film on the Smart TV, or slink away to the separate snug to read a few pages of your book. From the lounge, an open doorway leads through to a spacious lounge/diner, which is equipped with everything needed to prepare hearty feasts for the group and a farmhouse-style dining table for sharing mealtimes together. With hard flooring, this room is a good place to set up the dog bed. An inviting single bedroom and a handy boot room complete the ground floor. Upstairs, set under sloping ceilings in the eaves, two tranquil double bedrooms await. One of the bedrooms has an en-suite WC and there is also a stylish family bathroom on this level. Outside, bask in the Yorkshire sunshine in the courtyard garden, where you’ll find a bistro set for sitting with a morning coffee as you plan the holiday itinerary. The property has ample private parking available.

The idyllic fishing village of Robin Hood’s Bay (3.5 miles) makes a lovely doggy day out. The sandy beach welcomes woofers all year and there’s a great range of paw-friendly pubs and cafes to refuel in. From here, you and the hound can follow the coast path into Whitby. Take time to explore the historic harbour here, before climbing the 199 Steps to explore Whitby Abbey and enjoy the magnificent views across the town. Just outside Whitby is Falling Foss Tea Garden (3.5 miles), where you and your furry friend can amble amongst the pretty woodland garden and admire the stunning waterfall.

Cottage was well located for Whitby and surrounding area. Nice and quiet, very comfortably furnished, top quality furnishings and bedding. The lounge is small for 5 people but for 3 nights it was fine. Kitchen is spacious and well equipped and we did use the slow cooker which was ideal when out innthe cold all day and could come back to a warm mealRead more. Ideal to have the single downstairs bedroom and toilet as one of our party has mobility issues and so few Whitby properties work for this. A lovely break between xmas and new year, we wish we'd stayed longer and would definitely recommend. Hide

We stayed in New Cottage as a couple with our dog the first week in November. We found it extremely well presented and equipped. The heating was on when we arrived which made us feel immediately at home. There was also a lovely welcome basket with tea bags, biscuits etc and milk in the fridge which was a lovely touch. The location is so peacefulRead more but only a short distance from both Robin Hoods Bay and Whitby. We will definitely be back! Hide

The cottage represents good value for money, good parking, very clean and tidy, well equipped, with a good area to walk the dog but no enclosed garden, it is ideally located to afford access to Whitby, Robins Hood Bay and the Yorkshire Moors

A lovely property in a great location. The cottage was newly furnished with good amenities. Located close to Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay. The cottage location was in a pretty and quiet area. A welcome basket was a nice touch. Great communication from the owners. If we visit the area again we will definitely rebook.
