3 Bedroom Cottage in Whitby

Wind your way through Robin Hood Bay’s narrow, cobbled streets to find this hidden gem. A perfect retreat for couples, friends or families, it blends beautiful period features with modern conveniences, and has a choice of two delightful patios in which to relax or dine alfresco.

Historical character shines through this comfortable property, from old beams to beautiful fireplaces. It’s set over three storeys, with a lounge, dining room and kitchen all on the ground floor. The sweet kitchen has everything you’ll need for cooking tasty snacks and meals, plus a breakfast table for four, and the dining room is a lovely place in which to linger, boasting a wood-burner-effect gas fire and two armchairs. The lounge boasts a coal-effect gas fire in an ornate surround, and there’s a TV and a DVD to keep you entertained. Head up to the first floor to find two bedrooms: a double and a twin, the latter with one raised bed, as well as a family bathroom. On the top floor, a king-size bedroom is tucked under the eaves: a spacious room with an en-suite shower room and a seating area with a TV. When you’re in search of some fresh air, the rear patio has seating for four people, while a further patio with a BBQ stand and garden furniture for six overlooks the beck below.

Robin Hood’s Bay is renowned for its picture-postcard looks, and you can spend days wandering around its pretty streets, which are dotted with intriguing shops and a variety of places to eat and drink. The beach is dog friendly, and is a great place to go rock pooling or try your hand at fossil hunting. Stretch your legs on the coast path or along the Cinder Track, which takes you 6 miles to Whitby.
