Seaside village life is on your doorstep at this Yorkshire cottage nestled away in charming Hinderwell and just one mile from the shores of Port Mulgrave. 

From the outside, this period home is as pretty as a picture, and inside, things only get better. Every corner of the cottage feels restful and considered. Sophisticated warm neutrals keep everything oh-so-classy, while houseplants and botanical print textiles bring pops of colour and a flash of modernity. With a wood-burning stove to hunker down beside and storybook armchairs and window seats for afternoon lolls with the papers, it’s a delightful place to be, whatever the weather brings.

But on fine days, it’s outside chasing the sun between the front and rear garden terraces where you’ll want to be. Get together at the bistro table with morning coffees to watch village life go by, then head into the lawned garden later for evening drinks and barbecues.

When it’s time to mingle with the locals, there’s a restaurant, olde-worlde pub (0.1 miles away), butchers, and general store delivering all the village vibes you’re chasing. Be sure to swing by the Old School for lashings of tea and cake – it’s quite the hub of the village. Then hop on the coastal bus (it stops just beyond your garden gate) bound for the impossibly beautiful fishing village and beach of Staithes (one and a half miles away) – or in the opposite direction, charming Whitby (nine miles).

This home is set against a dramatic landscape peppered with Jurassic-era fossils and a rich mining history. Newly renovated, the cottage pays homage to its heritage by blending original fixtures with natural materials to stunning effect. Here, you're welcome to curl up by the wood-burning stove, share an intimate meal around the rustic dining table and stretch out in the sunshine on the decking in the enclosed backyard. Take a ten-minute morning stroll along the rugged clifftops to Port Mulgrave Harbour to admire the fishermen's huts – made from reclaimed flotsam and found materials – or seek out sea creatures in the coast's abundant rock pools. Restaurant Number 20, five minutes around the corner, comes with a Michelin Guide recommendation, and there are also a handful of popular pubs well within walking distance. Historic Whitby is a twenty-minute drive south, while the forests and dales of the North York Moors National Park are right on your doorstep. With well-behaved canine companions welcome, we see no reason not to move in permanently.

With its stunning red-roofed cottages and sweeping sandy beach, it's easy to see why the beautiful former fishing village of Runswick Bay regularly features towards the top of lists ranking the UK's best beaches.

One of several self-catering accommodations situated within a ten-minute walk of this stunning sweep of sand, this newly constructed three-bedroom lodge is equipped with everything you could need for a coastal escape with friends and family (including four-legged members).

Whether you're stretched out on the sofa, playing board games at the dining table, or preparing dinner in the kitchen, the open interior layout is perfect for spending valuable time together without feeling as though you're all on top of one another. On sunny summer days, throw open the French doors to instantly expand the living area onto the terrace, equipped with an outdoor dining table and parasol. Elsewhere, three individually decorated bedrooms take inspiration from your surroundings, with both nautical and countryside motifs featuring throughout.

To maintain the peace and tranquillity of your surroundings, you won't find a long list of on-site facilities offered here. However, the nearby village of Hinderwell has a pub and a fish and chip shop, while the nearest supermarket can be found in Staithes, a couple of miles down the road. Head in the opposite direction, and you'll be rewarded with the ruins of Whitby Abbey hovering into view as you approach the town. Meanwhile, the rugged beauty of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park offers countless miles of picturesque hiking and biking trails.

There's something to satisfy everyone's wanderlust at this Yorkshire barn conversion property, nestled on the outskirts of the old-fashioned fishing village of Staithes and just a twenty-minute drive from Whitby. Wrapped in the North Yorkshire hills, there are scenic walks across the dramatic rolling moors whichever way you turn, or head for the sandy shores and bustling harbour of Staithes, just a twenty-minute walk away (or three-minute drive). Within its winding cobbled streets, you'll find bustling pubs, shops, art galleries, and of course, all the fish and chips you could muster. Spend the day at the sheltered sandy beach shell combing and rock pooling, take to the waters from the village for a boat jaunt to Whitby, or try out a fishing tour. Just be sure to make it home with plenty of time to switch on the hot tub and relax in the bubbles under the stars – there's no better way to finish a day. Inside the home, the barn's original exposed gable ceilings have been expertly restored to create an open, lofty feel to each pristine room. We're particularly fond of the barn doors, painted a dashing shade of red and reimagined into picture windows, opening out to reveal glimpses of green landscapes from nearly every room.

Seaview Escape

Throws

If you’ve been looking for a sign to explore the North Yorkshire coast, then, hello, here it is. This home, set only a stone’s throw from Whitby, has the advantage of an ideal location on its side. Close enough to drive to Robin Hoods Bay, Saltburn-by-the-Sea, and the North Yorkshire National Park and Moors, it's still far enough away from any sort of bustle that it feels secluded. So grab a coffee pre-dawn and sit out on the terrace as the sun breaks over the horizon. 

Even with the doors open, it's still peaceful enough here to kick back with a good romance novel and glass of wine. Although, you might want to carpe diem and wander out to the beach whenever you spot a ray of sunshine, because Runswick Bay has been recognised by The Times as one of Britain's top fifty beaches. Paddle board, surf, and splash to your heart’s content before finding a spot that serves fresh seafood. You have our permission to think about the bubble bath you’ll run when you’re driving home from a day adventuring, and after, gather together for a game or two of Scrabble.

Palm Cottage

Nestled on a quiet cobbled street in the heart of Staithes, you'll find this cute cottage. It's not a large home, but it more than makes up for its petite size with plenty of charm and an excellent location – it's the ideal place to begin your adventures in North Yorkshire. 

The living space is open-plan, making it great for socialising with your guests. The pretty blue kitchen is great for whipping up snacks and light meals to enjoy at the trendy dining bench. You'll also find a comfy sofa that invites you to kick back and relax at the end of a busy day, glass of wine in hand. And, since this is a dog-friendly property, your furry friend is more than welcome to come along too. 

Staithes' harbour is just a couple of minutes' walk away from your front door, where you can watch the boats bobbing in the waves. There is a good range of eateries in the village, from cosy pubs to quaint tearooms and local fish restaurants, so you can refuel during the day. And, if you fancy a day trip, the neighbouring town of Whitby is just a twenty-five minutes drive away. 

Harbour Glimpse

If we told you to imagine a postcard-perfect coastal village, you'd probably picture something like Runswick Bay. Cute clusters of red-roofed cottages hug a sheltered stretch of sandy beach, where you can do all the lovely seaside things - explore rock pools, go on coastal walks at sunset and, of course, consume copious amounts of ice cream. After a hard day breathing in all that fresh sea air, this cabin is a welcome base to return to. Making memories with loved ones is easy in the open-plan living space, while two sun-kissed terraces are perfect for leisurely breakfasts and even more leisurely evening drinks. Nippy nights are no bother when you're curled up on the sofa by the fire. And if you've fallen for this area's seaside charms, you are well positioned to explore the nearby coastal gems of North Yorkshire, including Whitby, Staithes, Sandsend and Saltburn-by-the-Sea.

Peace On The Horizon

Rain Shower

You'll find this coastal apartment nestled in the quaint hamlet of Port Mulgrave, just a short drive from Saltburn-by-the-Sea and Whitby. If you crave salt-tinged air and sand between your toes, we can't think of a better place to call home. In fact, Yorkshire's rocky coastline is practically on your doorstep – and it's all yours to admire from the window in the lounge.

Inspired by the surrounding scenery, each room here has oodles of seaside curios to admire – that is, if you can tear your gaze away from the view. The living area couldn't be cosier, especially with the fire roaring, your favourite show on the telly and a steaming mug of tea at the ready. On sunny days, the small patio is ideal for an alfresco tipple or two, but even better is the sumptuous roll-top bathtub in the main bedroom – what's more relaxing than ending the day with a soak in the bubbles and a glass of wine in hand? 

When you're ready to venture out, hop in the car and make your way to Yorkshire's myriad of seaside towns. Head in one direction towards historic Whitby (about a twenty-minute drive), veer in the other towards the sandy beaches in Saltburn (roughly half an hour by car) or explore on foot with a coastal trek along the Cleveland Way National Trail.

When the Ships Float By

Located at the top of a scenic cliff just a three-minute drive from Staithes, this bright cottage is the perfect peaceful spot for those seeking the serenity and beauty of a North Yorkshire getaway. Inside, wood floors and a vaulted beamed ceiling create an instantly warm impression, as does the underfloor heating that will keep your toes toasty even on the chilliest of days. Floor-to-ceiling windows along the length of one wall give way to striking country views, enjoyed from the living room and comfortable bedrooms to give you picture-perfect vistas to wake up and fall asleep to. Head outside to the shared grounds where a hot tub invites starlit soaks with a glass of bubbly and plenty of surrounding nature walks to enjoy during the day. With Whitby and ​​Saltburn-by-the-Sea also just a twenty-minutes away by car, you’ve got everything you need for a relaxed coastal and country stay. 


Wood Owl

It doesn’t get much more bucolic than this charming stone cottage near Sandsend beach. Set within acres and acres of private estate, you’ll find this country bolthole in a row of terracotta-roofed cottages dappled with ivy. Towering trees and manicured gardens surround the spot for a bit of away-from-it-all feeling. Yet, a fifteen-minute walk sees you at Sandsend beach where a coastal stroll has you in the centre of Whitby in forty minutes (subject to tides). Here you’ll find myriad seafood restaurants, traditional fish and chip shops and beachside (and literary) attractions. If you want to stick closer to home, the estate’s grand hotel has an exceptional restaurant, a five-minute stroll away. Inside the cottage, you’ll find a striking sage-green living room that feels distinctly modern, despite the idyllic facade. It continues into the surprisingly spacious kitchen where you’ll find everything you need for self-catering. Out the back, you’ve got your own little patio for an alfresco tipple in the summer breeze to the sound of a babbling stream.

This converted chapel school sits in the beautiful rolling hills of the North York Moors and behind the well-preserved exterior lies a truly unique home. Large arched windows let in copious amounts of natural light, which is emphasised by the high ceiling and walls finished in a cleansing shade of white. An abundance of velvet textures and the slick kitchen surfaces feel particularly en vogue, too. Out in the large and enclosed garden, there's a picturesque terrace for those warm summer nights when you want to dine alfresco and a view of the countryside that stretches to the sea. Guests really are spoilt for choice when it comes to planning an itinerary. Sandsend Beach is three minutes' drive away, while getting to the centre of Whitby takes just under ten.

If you’d like a peaceful stay in the Yorkshire countryside, while still being within easy reach of the fun-filled Yorkshire coast, this home offers the perfect sanctuary. Located in the little village of Brotton, just a short drive from Saltburn-by-the-Sea, this characterful cottage has loads of traditional features that make it feel homely and quaint, such as the exposed beam ceilings, ornate wooden furniture and chintzy soft furnishings. It also sits in a private garden where you can listen to birdsong on crisp dewy mornings, and find a bit of peace and quiet amongst the trees.

Start each day with a good book in one of the two sunrooms, and let the light flood in through the glass walls. Head into the large, country-style kitchen, and cook up a full English breakfast. Tuck in alfresco on your patio dining set, while you discuss the day’s itinerary. Head to Saltburn Beach for a paddle in the waves, or head into Brotton for a pint in a classic village pub. When you return, light up the wood burner fireplace and cuddle up on the sofa with a glass of wine, before falling into your big cosy bed, ready to do it all again the next day.

Sweet Beams

Get back to nature in this eye-catching timber lodge, set in wooded grounds near Whitby. A vaulted main living space and generous bedrooms make this home feel like an American log cabin. With its huge windows giving way to English countryside views though, there’s no mistaking you’re in one of North Yorkshire’s most picturesque spots. There’s plenty of space to socialise in the main living area and out on the deck for alfresco meals, but there are also quiet corners, like the loft, where you can retreat with a good book for some relaxing alone time. When you’re ready to go out and explore, Whitby with its historic harbour and sandy beach is less than a fifteen-minute drive away, while the dramatic sweep of Robin Hood Bay is reachable in twenty. Away from the coast, you have the North York Moors National Park right on your doorstep. After a day in the great outdoors, come back home for a meal around the large dining table followed by a cosy night over drinks around the living room’s wood-burning stove. 


Woodland Glow

With multiple skylights, this living area gets a breath of natural light and the greenery that surrounds the property. We love the bold use of purple – from the plush sofa to the tasteful TV wall – while the small wooden dining table is perfect for meals together. Step downstairs into the painted green kitchen and find it roomy and well-equipped, ideal for all your self-catered meals. On nice days, enjoy lunch outside on the patio set, overlooking the grounds, and soak in some sunshine. You’ll probably want to head down to the beach too – Sandsend Sands is just a fifteen-minute walk from home. Spend the rest of your time exploring the nearby Whitby and its literary history, beautiful coast and delicious fish and chips.  

Off the Vine

This home in Egton is the perfect compromise between seclusion and a beach holiday. With only six miles separating you from the seaside town of Whitby, you can easily take a quick road trip to spend the day on the sandy shores of West Cliff beach. Whilst there, be sure to walk the promenade for a gorgeous view of the Church of Saint Mary and try your hand at the claw machine in the pier arcade. After a lunch of fresh seafood, head to the Whitby Abbey, a fourteen-minute walk from Whitby Beach, to visit the renowned ruins that inspired Bram Stoker’s gothic novel Dracula.

Back home, take in the tranquillity of the secluded escape by sitting out on the deck with a cup of coffee. Watch the breeze play through the line of trees surrounding you as you catch up on your favourite podcast. We recommend, at least once, sitting out here to watch the sun rise or set, maybe even both. Inside, get the cacao ready for movie night in front of the fire, and when you’re ready for bed, swing by the bathroom first for a soak in the tub.

Acorn House

Lift Access

Thanks to its prime coastline location and eclectic history, Whitby has been drawing in tourists for hundreds of years and if you're tempted to pay a visit, this home is a great base from which to explore the Yorkshire town.

Rather ironically, it's what lies outside that makes this apartment special – gaze out through the windows and you're treated to a sublime view of the North Sea. There's also a private balcony just off the kitchen in case you fancy starting the day with coffee and the sun on your skin – can't we be optimistic?

There's also a lot to like about the interiors, too. The design in the living room is a quirky mix of vintage and contemporary, as seen with the tan leather sofas sitting underneath a grand chandelier. You'll find the kitchen to be decently enough sized for bouts of home cooking and there are no complaints about the minimalist bedrooms, either.

So, what's there to do nearby? Well, quite a lot as it happens. West Cliff Beach and the promenade are about five minutes' walk from the front door, while the famed Whitby Abbey and 199 steps are just over twenty minutes away on foot, crossing the River Esk in the process.

Seafront Sanctuary

Pool / Snooker Table

Garden Games

Once you've wandered about this home nestled away in the North Yorkshire countryside for the first time, it probably won't come as a surprise to learn that it was once a hotel. The vast size of the building and its grounds partially give the game away, but there's also something about how the communal areas are arranged, especially the pool table and bar that make it an especially sociable space.

You'll also get a sense of the home's heritage pretty quickly as well. Located on a farm that dates back to the 18th century, there's a strong rustic charm throughout the interior, from the wooden ceiling beams and stone archways to the open fireplace that's wonderful to retire next to after a long bout in the great outdoors. 

Speaking of which, there's a whole host of amenities on the grounds for when the forecast is being kind to you. As well as a large lawn and lots of equipment for playing games, there's plenty of seating for alfresco feasts, as well as a hot tub that's an idyllic spot for a nightcap, especially once the stars are out in the sky.

In the local area, there's a wealth of attractions to be discovered, from the Victorian spa town of Saltburn-by-the-Sea just two-and-a-half miles away to the Cleveland Way National Trail, which can be reached on foot and rewards those that follow the path with views of the dramatic coastal landscape.

On The Moors

Check into this handsome Whitby townhouse for seaside living at its most refined and stylish. Set across five floors united by elegant interiors, there’s room for all twelve of you to make yourselves at home here. Climb the stairs to discover six bedrooms and five bathrooms, each as beautiful as the next.

Back downstairs, you can fling the double patio doors open wide on summer mornings to savour your morning coffee in the sunshine before whipping up brunch and mimosas in that made-for-action shaker-style kitchen with double ovens to flex your culinary skills. But if the weather doesn't buck up, the first-floor sitting room is just as inviting curled up with the morning newspapers.

When it’s finally time to soak up the charms of Whitby, you won’t have far to go – all the must-sees are within walking distance. Get off to a flying start with a visit to the Abbey Ruins – set high on the hill with magnificent views of the town, there’s no better way to get your bearings. Then lose yourself to the charming winding streets of its centre – there’s plenty of traditional inns and cafes to dive into should thoughts turn to food. Or follow the little River Esk down to the beach for fish and chips suppers overlooking the sea – there’s no finer place to be.

Seashells by the Seashore

In the centre of Whitby, this apartment puts a Blue Flag beach and narrow, medieval alleyways within easy walking distance. It’s a five-minute jaunt to the sprawling sands of Whitby Beach and you can even take the lift down the cliffs. A five-minute dander in the other direction sees you at the riverfront, where award-winning fish and chips await.

After a day exploring the gothic history of Whitby, return to a haven of calm at this apartment. The neutral-toned decor provides a soothing spot to unwind in the living room where a wood-burning stove keeps things cosy. Herringbone floor runs throughout the ground floor, and the kitchen in sleek dove grey has everything you need for self-catering. Retire to the bedroom with a big bay window and awake naturally to sunlight streaming in. 

The Salt Collector

Wheelchair Access

The seaside town of Whitby offers every English, coastal delight that you’d expect. Takeaway spots for fish and chips, ice cream parlours, piers, and lighthouses are just some of its charming features. While you explore every corner of this ancient town, you’ll need a cosy place to call home. This apartment, just a twelve-minute walk from Whitby Beach, is perfectly placed to experience it all. Elegant and modern, the interiors feel very inviting. Parquet floors and a rich blue velvet sofa bring a high-end luxe vibe, while glass tables and a superbly 21st-century white fireplace offer sophisticated minimalism. We love the bright living space, with French doors leading out to your own private patio. Perch on the ornate wrought-iron furniture with a gin and tonic to start the holiday in style. Nine minutes away, you can stroll to Whitby train station (a Grade II listed building) with ease. From here, the north of England is yours to explore. Try a two-hour trip through the North York Moors National Park to reach the market town of Darlington, for shopping, dining, and even more historical landmarks.

Salt & Vinegar

With bright living spaces, stylish bedrooms, a glossy high-spec kitchen and sleek bathrooms, this home is as fresh as a spring daisy. Set over three floors, every inch here is cool and contemporary, with plenty of room for a family or group of friends to spread out and get comfortable. We love all the mod-cons – think rainfall showers, a double oven and an EV charger in the driveway – and the private garden is the icing on the cake. Open the bi-fold doors and feel the breeze as you share a meal around the dining table, followed by a game of football in the yard as the sun goes down.

Location-wise, this home is nestled in the village of Briggswath on the cusp of North York Moors National Park. We think this locale offers the best of both worlds. Whether you fancy a delicious pub lunch (there's an excellent inn five minutes away), a country walk (there are miles of trails through the Esk Valley heading towards Grosmont) or a day at the beach (Whitby is less than ten minutes away by car) – there's something for everyone to enjoy in this neck of the woods.

Auburn Daisies

Wake up with early morning walks along Sandsend Beach, just a fourteen-minute walk from home. Return to your abode and enjoy a coffee on the private deck, gazing out at the greenery, before sliding open the glass doors and stepping inside the living area. You’ll find a large, plush sectional calling out your name that shares the open-plan space with the modern kitchen and roomy breakfast bar. Enjoy a lazy brunch with some of the treats from your welcome hamper and map out the plans for the day. The bedrooms here are large and comfortable, with carpeting, chandeliers and luxe throws and pillows. Go for an afternoon soak in the tub with a novel, before deciding it’s time to hit the beach again. Or, head into Whitby – just a ten-minute drive away – to explore the town’s famed abbey and delicious fish and chips.  

All Relative

This picturesque coastal cottage is tucked away in the heart of Whitby, just steps from the renowned Flowergate and an eight-minute walk from the harbour.

The cottage itself is classically charming, with a sage kitchen, wooden dining table and fireplace. The open living space is sociable and comfortable, providing an inviting atmosphere for conversation and rest after a long day. Fall asleep under exposed wooden beams and wake up to views that stretch over the orange roofs and all the way to the sea. Then eat breakfast all together, or catch a breath of fresh air over a cup of coffee at the communal courtyard tables. Once you feel adequately recharged, set off to explore more of this enchanting coastal town and the beautiful surrounding area.  

A Fine Day

Modern, stylish and in the heart of charming Whitby, this home ticks all the boxes for a memorable stay on the North Yorkshire coast. Honeycomb print livens up licks of trendy grey and we particularly loved the subtle nods to Whitby’s history and maritime identity in the living space and bedroom. A dining table with zesty yellow chairs takes centre stage – come together for a home-cooked breakfast and hot cups of tea before throwing on your sun hat and heading to the seaside. You’re a ten-minute walk from the beach – fifteen if you stop for an ice cream. Cross the River Esk and climb the 199 steps to reach the famous Abbey. With all of that exploring, you’ll have worked up quite an appetite, so pick up a fish supper from an award-winning chip shop and enjoy overlooking the harbour. 

Beehive Cottage

This seaside home is perfectly positioned in the heart of Whitby for exploring its bustling town centre and sandy shores. Bright and stylish, the apartment makes great use of space, with an open concept design that is perfect for kicking up your feet and unwinding after an exciting day out.

In a prime location, you’re within walking distance of a surplus of restaurants and cafes waiting to serve up the catch of the day or a local cream tea.

After a long day, come back for sunset drinks on the balcony and a peaceful night’s sleep to the sound of the sea.

Cleverly designed, the open-plan living area makes the most of the small space and brightens up the kitchen area.

We love the acoustic wood feature walls in both the living room and the bedroom, which add texture to the clean lines and simple design of the home. When you’re ready to explore, the town of Whitby is on your doorstep, with its many pubs, shops and cafes. Nestled in West Cliff, you’ll find fun arcades and famous fish restaurants, while the Blue Flag West Cliff beach and promenade is just a quick five-minute walk away.

On the other side of Whitby, you will find narrow medieval streets with boutiques and pubs. Plus, roughly a twelve-minute walk from your door, you can also discover the ruins of Whitby Abbey, which was the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s classic gothic novel, ‘Dracula’. What’s more, you can even go on a ‘Dracula’ experience, reachable in just six minutes on foot from this home. 

To make the most of your seaside escape, the Blue Flag West Cliff beach, and promenade are just a five-minute walk away.

On sunny evenings, take advantage of the courtyard on the ground floor of this home, and dine alfresco before ending the evening with drinks on the balcony to admire the views one last time. Then curl up on the comfy sofas to relax after an exhausting day of exploring and climbing the famous 199 steps up to the Church of Saint Mary. Finally, slip into the plush bedding and luxury linens to ensure you have a great night's sleep, ready for another day of adventures.

Whitby Escape

This wonderfully modern home is the perfect place to stay during a trip to the quirky town of Whitby. It's very centrally located, just a few minutes away from all the main attractions, so you're guaranteed to have some great times here. 

The interior is ultra contemporary, with plenty of natural light flooding in through the huge windows. Chic grey and cream tones melt together into a soothing colour palette that creates a tranquil ambiance throughout. You'll love the open-plan set-up, which makes it easy to chat with your guests as you cook, eat, and relax. And, the best bit is your very own balcony, offering views across to the boats floating in Whitby harbour. 

If you fancy a beach day, gather up your towels and take a fifteen-minute stroll down to the seashore. Fans of the classic Bram Stoker novel, Dracula, can climb the 199 steps up to visit the iconic Whitby Cathedral and St Mary's Church. And, with the North York Moors National Park just four minutes away by car, walkers and cyclists can easily explore the dramatic landscapes. 

Harbour Hopes

Just as the seemingly limitless panorama of sky and sea on North Yorkshire's coastline feels bright and invigorating, so too does the interior of this home found close to the River Esk. In the open kitchen-living area, a glass roof and large windows on either side fill the space with natural light, which is accentuated by the reflective surfaces on the minimalist kitchen and the stark white walls. In one of the bedrooms, there's even a Juliet balcony that looks out to a peaceful field and distant rooftops. Throughout the rest of the house, there are plenty of contemporary design touches that have us nodding our heads in approval, from the mid-century furnishings in the living room and the elegant freestanding bathtubs to the patterned floor tiling in the hallway. The local neighbourhood has a residential feel, but all of Whitby's attractions sit within walkable distance. The town's beach, for instance, takes twenty minutes to reach on foot, while the gothic Abbey is only a quarter of an hour away.
