  • Charming sandstone cottage sleeping 4 +1 across 2 bedrooms with plenty of space to host 2 canine companions alongside the family
  • Located in a tucked away position within the heart of the fishing village of Robin Hood's Bay with the convenience of welcoming village pubs and independent shops within walking distance
  • Take a trip along the coast to visit the gorgeously gothic town of Whitby or don your walking shoes to enjoy endless walks along the dramatic cliff tops and rugged coastlines
Property code: OC-G0085

Nestled behind the narrow, cobbled streets of the picture-perfect fishing village of Robin Hood’s Bay is this charming sandstone cottage. Situated on the North York Moors Heritage Coast, families/friends and their canine companions will love the close proximity to a number of coast and countryside walks. You and your four-legged friends will love exploring and soaking up the dramatic, rugged coastline, the sandy beaches and the heather-clad hills of the National Park. It’s location also means you have easy access to the many shops and restaurants within the bustling village.

 

With an eclectic blend of traditional, country-cottage chic and contemporary pops of colour, this cottage is full of character. The ground floor is home to a lounge with rustic charm and a cosy wood burner. Up a few stairs, you will find the modern, but well-equipped kitchen, with a small dining table in the corner. Another narrow staircase leads up to a bright and airy double bedroom and a stylish family bathroom. The second bedroom can be found on the next floor and affords views across the rooftops to the sea. Outside, there is a quaint cobbled courtyard – a rarity in this area!

 

Should you want to venture further than the village itself, Whitby (6 miles) has lots to offer. A popular seaside resort, it has a range of independent shops/eateries lining its medieval streets and with its strong connections to Dracula, the 13th-century ruins of St Hilda's Abbey are part of the town’s rich heritage. You could even take the steam railway to another popular seaside resort, Scarborough (16.5 miles). Head inland to explore the natural beauty of the North York Moors National Park, which is also home to many picturesque towns/villages, each with their own character.

Wonderful cottages located at the heart of the village. You get a real sense of the place and the house is full of character. We chose the house partly because it came with a free parking permit for a nearby car park. This wasnt made available to us which was inconvenient as we had to park on the public car parks at the top of the bank.

Really enjoyed our stay at Lenwood. Comfortable, clean and in a lovely quiet area in lower bay. Refreshing to stay somewhere where our dogs are fully welcomed! The kitchen had everything we needed and it was good to have an extra door to the outside space - I'm sure the stable door in the kitchen would be perfect in warmer months. Upstairs to the fRead moreirst floor, the bathroom is well appointed with a bath with rainfall shower over. The double bedroom (the room we used) on this floor has partial sea views and a comfy bed & furnishings. Up to the top floor is another double room with day bed and sea views. Plenty of walks to discover from the doorstep and lovely independent shops, cafes and pubs. Fabulous pizzas at the Smugglers (a few people were also ordering to take away), brekkie at Tea Toast & Post (get there when it opens as it gets busy!) and well cooked meals at the Bay Hotel. Highly recommend the Ghost Walk too - always good to hear some history of where you stay. Lovely relaxing break - thank you. Hide

The location was superb and we received a lovely welcome pack on our arrival. However, our experience did not match the reviews we read when deciding to book this cottage, the disappointing things were the cleanliness of the property and provision of kitchen utensils. We have emailed Holiday Cottages with our detailed feedback.
