This charming cottage boasts a peaceful, woodland setting and is just 2 miles from Whitby. The property sleeps three guests, and either one large or two small hounds, making it a great couples’ retreat or base for a small family. Enjoy woodland walks from your front door, or head to the coast to discover clifftop paths and woof-welcoming beaches. After a busy day, return to your cosy cottage to light the wood burner and snuggle on the sofa.
The elevated cottage is reached via a set of shallow steps, followed by a wooden staircase. Once inside, discover a bright, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. This space is full of creature comforts and accessories to make you feel at home and has wooden floors throughout (ideal for dealing with muddy pawprints). Sink into the sumptuous sofa to watch the TV/DVD or curl up in the armchair with a book. On chilly evenings, fire up the wood burner to create a snuggly spot for the woofers. Rustle up delicious dinners in the kitchen area to share together around the dining table. Two tastefully decorated bedrooms – a double and a single – await upstairs, along with a shower room. Outside, there is an enclosed decked area, where Rover and Fido can potter around, and you can sip a glass of wine and watch the local wildlife.
Follow the woodland path into Whitby, where you’ll find a vibrant seaside town, with plenty to see and do. The town has a fantastic selection of eateries, many serving fresh seafood, and stunning walks to enjoy with the hounds. Climb the iconic 199 steps to St Mary’s Church for breathtaking views, followed by a wander around the abbey ruins and a jaunt along the Cleveland Way. Just below the abbey is the beautiful Tate Hill Beach, which welcomes waggy-tailed visitors all year.
