Escape to rural Yorkshire in this idyllic cottage mid-way between Whitby and Robin Hood’s Bay. The holiday home welcomes four guests and one furry chum, and makes the perfect base for couples and small families seeking peace and tranquillity. You’ll enjoy the best of both worlds here; head inland to explore the wild and remote landscape of the North York Moors, or journey to the coast for clifftop walks and sandy beaches.
The converted stone barn sits alongside two other holiday homes in a peaceful, countryside setting. Inside, the property has a delightful blend of rustic charm – thanks to exposed beams and deep-set windows – and all the contemporary touches needed for a comfortable stay. The welcoming lounge/diner is the perfect place to relax after a day of adventure with your four-legged friend. Sink into the sumptuous sofa or one of the plump armchairs to watch the Smart TV and enjoy family mealtimes around the wooden dining table. The separate, pastel-coloured kitchen is equipped with everything needed for a self-catering break. A sleek family shower room completes the ground floor. Upstairs, two elegant double bedrooms await with striking exposed beams and tranquil countryside views. One of the bedrooms has an en-suite bathroom with a gorgeous, free-standing bath. The first floor has characterful sloping ceilings and low beams, meaning you may experience restricted head height in some areas. Outside, you’ll find a grassy area where the hound can stretch their legs and you can relax on the bench with a morning coffee. The property has private parking for one car.
A day trip into Whitby (3 miles) is a must for the holiday itinerary. Wander amongst its quaint, cobbled streets, popping into cute boutiques and refuelling in traditional Yorkshire pubs. Soak up the history on a visit to the majestic ruins of Whitby Abbey, or stride out along the Cleveland Way for an exhilarating dog walk with far-reaching sea views. Step back in time with a ride on one of the steam trains of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, or spend a day at sea aboard the replica of Captain Cook’s famous ship.
