This fantastic property is the ideal choice for guests seeking adventure without scrimping on luxury, sleeping eight guests and two dogs across four bedrooms. Based just 3 miles from the seaside town of Whitby, you could soon be scampering across the stunning North Yorkshire and Cleveland Heritage Coast. The owners have provided everything you need for a relaxing stay, including a magnificent welcome hamper brimming with goodies for the entire pack.

Set across three stories, this impressive property features an abundance of elegant details from sophisticated furnishing to quirky accessories. The comfortable lounge is sure to set tails wagging with its exposed stone walls, beamed ceilings and piece de resistance – a double-sided wood burner which also faces the kitchen/diner. Prepare lavish meals and dine in style with spectacular views from the windows. The bedrooms are scattered across the first and second floors, featuring crisp linen to lull you to sleep whilst Fido dozes peacefully downstairs. Younger guests will delight in the twin rooms at the top of the house, one of which has table football! Outside, the elevated garden is set on different levels with a choice of seating, perfect for lazy summer BBQ’s. There’s ample off-road parking for two cars, and the nearest shop and pub is within 2 miles.

Have a ball exploring the awe-inspiring ruins of Whitby Abbey, navigating clifftop trails or tucking in to piping hot fish and chips as you admire the pretty harbour. There’s plenty to do with Rover in tow, he can even accompany you on a popular ghost walk! Keen historians will also relish a trip to Robin Hood's Bay 6 miles away, which has a dark but fascinating smuggling past. Adventurous guests can walk here along the old railway line known as the ‘Cinder Path’ from Whitby.

Good all round well equipped cottage tucked deep in a narrow green stream valley on a charming dead end single track road. Great location for walks from the door and short car trips to various coastal and moorland villages. Nothing much in the area for cold, wet days with youngish children and we had a lot of wet days. I agree with other reviews reRead more noise travelling round the house and other minor issues and have left a list for the owners. Hide

Lovely cottage near to Ruswarp. Excellent walks from the door and brilliant for our dog. The cottage is well equipped and very clean. Lovely welcolme hamper awaited our arrival and having the radio on gave that extra welcoming touch. Very handy for the coast and popping into Whitby.

This is such a wonderful property. It is homely, clean and well appointed. There is plenty of space in each room and around the kitchen table. Beautiful views from the bedroom and kitchen windows, and the garden offers further space for gathering and eating, when the weather permits.

Had a lovely stay at this cottage! Plenty of room for the 8 of us and our dog, would highly recommend staying here. All of the rooms are lovely, but sound does travel throughout the house! Huge garden with a lovely sitting area with a bbq. Part of the garden is secure for dogs but the main garden section isn't so keep that in mind! The hot water waRead mores hit and miss throughout the weekend which is a shame and annoying, plus the bbq wasn't cleaned when we arrived. Hide

We had such a wonderful welcome to the property. The heating was on, music was playing and there was a lovely smell. There was also a lovely welcome pack including Prosecco, beer, milk and biscuits. Tea and coffee were also provided. The cottage is spotlessly clean and very well equipped. So warm and cosy and beautifully furnished. It is about 45 mRead moreinute walk into Whitby which could be an issue but the local taxis were very efficient. Would definitely return and recommend to family and friends. Hide

The cottage has been cobbled together by what looks like diy enthusiasts. The price Is 5 star but this holiday accommodation is 3 star at best, expect check in times that are too late in the day(5.30pm) and checkout times that are early. On a good note the surrounding area is perfect for a nice walk into Whitby.
