Escape to the rugged Yorkshire Moors, where visitors flock year-round to experience the famous contrasting landscapes of stunning coastlines, thickly wooded dales and quirky villages. The Gothic seaside town of Whitby is 2 miles away and features a sheltered sandy beach with colourful beach huts, deckchair hire and donkey rides. Discover spectacular ruins and tales of Viking raids at Whitby Abbey (2 miles), or travel to Robin Hood’s Bay (3.5 miles) and experience this vibrant fishing village with its cafes, pubs, shops and coastal paths. See the rugged landscape by train via the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, which begins at Whitby and stops at Pickering (22 miles). For family days out, Flamingo Land Resort (24.5 miles) can be found 24 miles away, while Sea-Life Scarborough (15.5 miles) is sure to intrigue.

Make your way into this compact yet charming terraced cottage, where you will find a small vestibule for storing warm coats and walking boots. Discover a downstairs bathroom here with a bath, shower and WC before heading into the hub of the home – the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Enjoy relaxing in the lounge area on comfy sofas or in the armchair and flick through the Smart TV for a film to watch together. Whip up home-cooked meals in the stylish kitchen space as you gaze over delightful views across the paddocks where you may even have the chance to spot some furry neighbours. Come together around the breakfast table and plan the day’s activities. Going upstairs, you’ll find two peaceful double bedrooms with hanging rails for your clothing and views from the skylights.

Although there is no private outside space, you are spoilt for choice with nearby coastal walks and countryside strolls. The property benefits from a private parking space for one car.

A truly lovely little cottage, very comfortable bed and well equipped. The horses are a bonus and we loved the way they came right up to the window for the carrots, apples and mints that we gave them. Local buses into Whitby, Robin Hood's Bay and Scarborough ran every half hour and quite late into the evening. The welcome basket of tea, coffee andRead more snacks was very nice after our long journey up. Hide

Comfortable little cottage in a good location, particularly if you have a dog. The Scarborough to Whitby cinder track (the old Victorian railway line) runs past about 100 yards away. A perfect easy walk and not muddy! You can walk to Whitby one way or Robin Hoods Bay the other way. Village has a nice pub with good value food only a 5 minute walk frRead moreom the cottage. Parking at the cottage can be a bit tight for modern size cars, particularly if all cottages are occupied. Overall a great place to stay...just beware the horse in the paddock behind the cottage which has learned how to open the downstairs windows! Hide

Cottage is fairly basic, but well situated for exploring the Whitby area with easy access to the Cinder Path. It is a couple of minutes walk to the village pub and near supermarkets for food shopping.
