Located within 100 metres of the 199 steps that have taken generations of visitors up to the harbour town’s historic abbey ruins, this three-storey gem will be a home from home for four people and one dog. Within easy reach of the North York Moors, the cottage is perfect for cyclists, walkers and literature and nature lovers, with something for every age and interest close at hand. This cosy and welcoming cottage offers an imaginative use of space throughout, a shared seating area and near instant access to popular sections of the Old Town.
The wow factor of this restored fisherman’s cottage will be evident from the moment you step into the open-plan living area, its exposed brick wall, low ceilings and the arrangement of its furniture making it the perfect place to create memorable meals, to enjoy a film or a nightcap after a meal out - or lose yourself in the pages of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. The family bathroom and a double bedroom with a feature fireplace occupy the first floor, with the twin room on the second floor showcasing the cottage''s original roof beams. A shared seating area at the front of the cottage is the ideal spot for people watching or reading the morning papers with a coffee while the rest of the party slumbers.
The town’s iconic abbey ruins (300 metres) can be reached via the 199 steps that curl from the Old Town up to St Mary’s Churchyard.

Robin Hood’s Bay (5.5 miles) is home to a sprawling dog-friendly beach and a range of cafes and pubs that love to see wagging tails coming through the door.
