This is an exceptionally well-equipped, and very comfortable large house situated in the top part of Runswick Bay and only a mile from a selection of shops in Hinderwell. With two reception rooms, two bathrooms and five bedrooms, this lovely property is ideal for a large family gathering or two smaller families sharing. There is also a dishwasher and a washing machine which comes in very handy after a day on the beach. The property offers off road parking for 2 cars, a large enclosed garden and WiFi. 

The property is only 80 yards from the Cleveland Way (Saltburn to Whitby) coastal footpath to Port Mulgrave and on to Staithes. There is a village inn nearby, serving excellent food, and just across the road is the way down to the beach. The lovely beach offers fine sand, rock pools and the possibility of finding fossils. Also at the bottom of the bank, you will find a tea shop selling good food and offering fishing nets, buckets and spades and body boards.

Runswick Bay
This picture perfect seaside village is like the cover of a postcard. The quaint village is located around five miles from Whitby. Pretty cottages and houses line the hills and cliffs around the bay. The special and secluded beach is set at the bottom of a steep hill and offers a tranquil and peaceful location for holiday makers, as well as being a popular hot spot for artists and photographers. The bay has a timeless feel and is perfect for couples wanting to enjoy a romantic walk on the beach; alternatively it is an ideal location for a quiet family holiday. For the more active, surfers, sailing and kayak enthusiasts relish the sweep of the Bay whilst cyclists have a good choice of routes. A regular bus service to/ from Whitby allows you to leave the car at home. With a pub and cafe it has every ingredient to make the perfect holiday destination.

This an excellently postioned house in a beautiful area. The house was the best equipped we have ever stayed in from everything you need in a kitchen to a great games room. The owners were amazingly responsive and so helpful with excellent communication. Beware though for beach days it is very steep hill down to the bay!! But so worth it. We enjoyeRead mored fossil hunting, sandcastle building, rock pooling and paddling. Hide

A lovely property, felt the photos didn't do it fill justice. We were 3 generations celebrating a birthday and felt the property catered to all our needs. The garden and games room was great too.

Overall we found the Alby House extremely suitable for our extended family of nine. The kitchen is well fitted out for a large group or family. The location for us was perfect as there was access lovely walks and there is a regular bus service along the coast.
