For a holiday of coastal views, fresh sea air and the sound of the waves, stay at this studio-style property in Sandsend, a picturesque fishing village. Compact yet luxurious, this retreat is perfect for solo travellers or couples seeking a cosy seaside base. It’s in an enviable spot opposite Sandsend Beach (50 metres), a beautiful stretch of golden sand ideal for morning strolls and sunset wandering. Sandsend itself is known for its excellent food scene, with a great selection of cafés, pubs and restaurants within 150 metres of your door. The surrounding North Yorkshire coastline is brimming with opportunity: follow the sands or the Cleveland Way coastal path to reach Whitby (2 miles) and poke around its historic abbey, winding old streets and bustling harbour. Other must-visit spots nearby include the sweeping bay at Runswick Bay (4.5 miles) and the characterful cottages and smugglers’ history of Robin Hood’s Bay (8 miles).
You’ll access the property via a flight of historic stone steps leading up to your private terrace. The front door opens into a bright, open-plan space ideal for relaxing, designed much like a boutique hotel suite. Floor-to-ceiling windows and a vaulted ceiling flood the room with natural light. To one side sits a chic built-in kitchenette where you can prepare simple meals after a day out exploring. The sleeping area has a comfortable double bed with clever built-in storage and a Smart TV for relaxed evenings in. Dining is convenient at the drop-leaf breakfast table with stools, and there are two swivel armchairs for sitting with a morning coffee or evening drink. Completing the interior is a stylish shower room with a heated shower rail and WC.
Outside, the decked terrace provides a peaceful spot to unwind, flanked with honey-coloured stone for a quintessentially Yorkshire feel. There’s a bistro table and chairs for enjoying breakfast in the fresh coastal air or relaxing after a day exploring the dramatic North Yorkshire coast. There is on-street parking on the coast road to the front (subject to availability), and there is also a pay-and-display car park (100 metres).
