This romantic bolthole is tucked away on the edge of the North York Moors, just 4.5 miles from the coastal town of Whitby. The property sleeps two guests and one hairy hound and makes the perfect base for couples looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. As well as being close to Whitby, you and the hound can also enjoy day trips to Robin Hood’s Bay, Staithes, and Scarborough (all within 17 miles).

The stone barn conversion sits alongside two other holiday homes and boasts far-reaching countryside views. After a day of adventure with the pup, return to your cosy cottage to relax in the inviting lounge/diner. This room features a beautiful wood-clad ceiling, along with comfortable seating and a Smart TV. Nestled under the window is a cute dining table for sharing romantic dinners for two. The separate, compact kitchen has been carefully configured to include everything needed for a successful self-catering break. When it’s time for bed, head upstairs to the elegant double bedroom in the eaves, with its statement wallpaper and skylights – perfect for enjoying a spot of stargazing from your cosy bed. A contemporary bathroom rounds off this rural hideaway. Please note, this floor has sloping ceilings and you may experience restricted head height in some areas. Outside, sip a sundowner on the bench and take in your tranquil surroundings. There is an allocated parking space at the property.

Whitby is a bustling seaside town with a fantastic array of independent shops, galleries, boutiques, and gift shops to explore. You’ll also find a great range of pubs and cafes that welcome waggy-tailed diners. There are some great paw-friendly attractions in Whitby. From the town, hop aboard the steam trains of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway to visit the bustling market town of Pickering. Alternatively, take a boat trip with your salty sea dog aboard the replica of Captain Cook’s famous ship.

A delightful small and cosy cottage ideal for two people. Great location with plenty of walking opportunities, and within easy reach of towns and tourist attractions that you would wish to see. There is also an unexpected view of Whitby Abbey from the top floor windows, enhanced if you've got binoculars!

The cottage is clean, tidy and not far off being perfect. We used it mainly as a base for exploring but during time spent on site we were perfectly comfortable and slept really well. Please note that if anything further was needed then Kev (owner) was only a phone/txt away and always ready to assist.

Middle Rigg Cottage, it's a great little cottage to hide away, or Whitby just down the road lots of places to see from lovely fish and chips next to the Quay or Whitby Abbey and the museum at top of the hill not forgetting the old cobble streets with the lovely little tea rooms.

This cottage was a real gem. Although small it was adequate for two people & very cosy and warm also spotlessly clean. The field at the back of the property was great for my border Terrier to excise in. The property is rural but not far from Whitby and supermarkets. I definitely would stay here again.

We had a great weekend in Middle Rigg, the cottage was clean, well presented, fully equipped and had a fantastic view of Whitby Abbey from upstairs! It's in a nice quiet location with plenty of parking space, there is a field directly behind that our dog could run around in, and has easy access to some very picturesque walking routes. We met Kevin Read morewhen we arrived who was very friendly and helpful, and he kept in contact over the weekend. Would highly recommend this cottage and would stay here again. Hide
