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).

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.

This home is set against a dramatic landscape peppered with Jurassic-era fossils and a rich mining history.

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.

From the whitewashed cottages to the sheltered harbour, Staithes has been an important fishing village for centuries, and this cottage embraces the idyllic vibe of the village. Evidence of its fishing life is still all around – from seafood at the ocean-battered pub, The Cod and Lobster, to the restored wooden steps and rope bannister of this home. The old cottage has been upgraded with modern luxuries; there's a deep roll-top bath for soaking, a wood-burner in the top-floor lounge, and a pizza oven in the kitchen. The real highlight is the terrace facing directly over the North Sea, with the adjacent wild-flower hillside adding a wash of colour in summer. The cliff-surrounded beach of Staithes is a short stroll, and fossils can be found on walks along the sand. For swimming and bathing, we love Sandsend beach, a 20-minute drive away. Whitby is also less than 20 minutes away by car and is full of eccentricities.

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.

Denim & Wood

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

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.

Plaid Sailing

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

Nestled into the sleepy village of Lythe, Palm Cottage is a beautifully restored Grade II-listed cottage that can welcome up to eight guests in its charming rooms. If you're looking for a coastal retreat with your friends or family members, Palm Cottage is sure to treat you well. There's even a secret garden that is sure to keep kids and dogs entertained throughout your stay. Better yet, you're just a short way from Sandsend and Whitby, where village pubs, endless beach days, and plenty of culture awaits. 

Palm Cottage

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.

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.

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.

For those scorching summer days, grab an ice cream from the shop and settle in for a day of sunbathing on the beach.



Social In Style

Luxury Bedding

Although this wooden lodge sits in the middle of a leafy caravan park in the North Yorkshire countryside just outside of Whitby, there's nothing temporary or makeshift about the living quarters. In fact, there's a contemporary style and enough high-quality amenities that would see it slot quite easily into the swishest of city neighbourhoods.

The double-height windows in the living room do a brilliant job of bathing the interior in natural light, as well as offering peaceful views of the surrounding trees. This architectural feature makes the communal space a lovely spot for relaxing, whether that's cuddling up next to the wood-burning fireplace or cooking up something hearty in the super-sleek kitchen. 

If you're paying a visit during the warmer months – or you just want to emulate the hardiness of local Yorkshire folk during the colder seasons – you can make the most of the home's private terrace complete with seating. There are also plenty of walking routes and historic attractions in the surrounding North Yorks Moors National Parks, as well as the village of Egton and its pub lying within walking distance. The quirky seaside town of Whitby takes less than a quarter of an hour to reach in the car, too.



Campfire Ditty

Welcome to the quaint village of Egton, about five miles west of Whitby, where you can explore the surrounding natural landscape or access the amenities of the seaside in just a short drive. While it may look like a traditional terraced cottage from the outside, it's been refurbished to high standards and furnished with style, so we guarantee you'll look forward to coming back to it after a day spent exploring the the North York Moors or at the beach. We picture ourselves cooking up a feast in the high-spec kitchen before retiring for a well-earned bubble bath in one of the two stunning clawfoot bathtubs. Featuring a secret snug filled with floor cushions and also a bunk bedroom, it would suit a large family with some younger members.

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.

Marrying traditional charm with modern upgrades, this 16th century, Grade II listed cottage offers the best of both worlds. With exposed stone walls, wooden beams and travertine tiled floors, it's easy to fall in love with the vintage character, but updates like underfloor heating, DVD player, Nintendo Wii and Bose sound system add some 21st-century touches. Start your morning with tea on the small patio before heading out for the day. When you've had your fill of fun in the sun, unwind with a glass of wine in front of the fire, then prepare a delicious dinner in the sleek kitchen. End the evening with a relaxing soak in the slipper bathtub before nodding off in the cosy bedrooms. This cottage feels like a true home-from-home and it's perfectly placed for exploring. Set within the North York Moors National Park, this area is ripe with trails to roam and paths to cycle, and the village has an excellent pub if you're in the mood for a pint.

Overlooking the breezy North Sea, this enviably positioned apartment exudes tranquillity. Plush furniture in the neutral-toned living space encourages relaxing at every opportunity – curl up on the sofa with a cup of Yorkshire tea before sitting down with a platter of nibbles in the contemporary kitchen diner. If the sun is shining, take your pick from one of two balconies and bask in the warm weather. 

When you’re keen to get to know your surroundings, it’s a two-minute stroll to Whitby Beach and fifteen minutes to the heart of town where you’ll find a number of bars, restaurants and those all-important fish and chip shops. Explore the eerie Abbey at the top of the famous 199 steps or why not try something a little different and embark on a whale-watching tour? The departure point is less than a ten-minute walk from your doorstep.

Gull's Rest

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.

It's bright, light and totally sleek, with extras like a wine fridge and rainfall shower transforming it into a lovely little place to call home.

The kitchen has enough crockery to rustle up a meal, which you can share alongside a bottle of bubbly around the breakfast bar. But what makes this apartment really shine is the fantastic location. You're just a few steps away from Flowergate, surrounded by a flurry of chic bars, delicious restaurants, local shops and historic pubs. West Cliff Beach and the charming seafront is just a five-minute walk away, so days spent lounging in the sun and splashing in the waves are a given.

Brevity & Wit

A big, bright apartment, this newly built home overlooks Whitby's famous harbour. With big bay windows, wood floors and all-white walls, it's a modern and spacious home from home, just steps away from the town's many restaurants, cafes, shops and pubs. A shared entrance hall leads up to the front door, on the second floor, and it's thanks to this elevated position that you'll be able to take in fabulous views of the boats, the Swing Bridge and the rooftops across the water. The open-plan living area is sociable and smart, with comfortable sofas, a big dining table and a well kitted-out kitchen. Quirky wall art and decorative pieces give the place some added character and we love the little seating areas in each window. On the south side of the harbour, you'll be just a five-minute walk from the '199 Steps' which take you up to the scenic ruins of Whitby Abbey.

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

In the heart of historic Whitby, this snug apartment provides the perfect retreat for two. Cosy and contemporary, what it lacks in space, it more than makes up for in comfort. We can already picture ourselves sinking into the plush sofa with a cup of Yorkshire brew after a day in the fresh sea air. Outside, a charming little patio beckons on summer days – it's a sweet spot to enjoy a glass of wine and nibble on Wensleydale cheese as the sun slowly sets. There's also a sleek kitchen ideal for rustling up lighter bites, a glossy bathroom and a sumptuous bedroom that will leave you feeling well-rested and ready to explore.

The enviable locale makes exploring a breeze. Spend the afternoon dipping in and out of the independent shops, old-world pubs and delicious eateries in the city centre, or head down to the waterfront pier and Blue Flag beach for a taste of the seaside. You also can't miss the famous ruins of Whitby Abbey or the 199 Steps – the views from the top of the hill are hard to beat.

While nestled on the West Cliff, lining Pier Road – which can be reached in eight minutes on foot – you’ll find arcades for hours of fun on rainy days and Whitby’s famous fish restaurants serving the catch of the day because it simply wouldn’t be a beach holiday without fish and chips. 

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. 

Lister & Walker

This smart apartment, located just a few metres away from the shoreline, is the perfect place to call home during a trip to the charming town of Whitby. With plenty of space, stylish decor, and fantastic sea views, you'll settle in in no time at all. 

Step inside, and you'll find a sleek, open-plan set-up cloaked in soothing blues and greys. Fire up the Nespresso machine to make a fresh americano, then curl up in one of the powder blue armchairs as you watch the world go by outside. The kitchen has everything you need to cook up a delicious traditional roast dinner to serve up at the stylish dining bench, while the peaceful bedrooms guarantee you a great night's sleep. 

Cross the road and you'll arrive at Whitby’s West Cliff beach, a blue-flag beach where you can paddle or stroll along the sand, ice cream in hand. There are plenty of nearby seafood restaurants where you can savour the fresh catch of the day, along with independent boutiques and cosy pubs dotted along the cobbled streets. Don't forget to walk up the 199 steps, made famous by Bram Stoker's 'Dracula', to visit the iconic ruined cathedral. And, if you fancy exploring the gorgeous local countryside, then the North York Moors National Park is just outside the town. 

Sound of the Waves

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

Holiday in a piece of history. This Grade II-listed cottage is in the centre of the lively seaside town of Whitby. Make a cup of tea in the farmhouse-style kitchen before kicking back by the fire under seventeenth-century oak beams. There are plenty of thoughtful touches to admire here, from the restored period display cabinet to the aged leather and linen sofas. The kitchen has a gas range, perfect for whipping up a traditional English breakfast or an indulgent Sunday roast. Alternatively, treat yourself to a sumptuous meal at local Michelin-starred chef Andrew Pern's restaurant, The Star Inn The Harbour, with views of Whitby Harbour and the River Esk. Elsewhere, we'd suggest spending a day hiking the astounding heather-covered hills of the nearby North York Moors.

The 199 Steps

Just a four-minute stroll from the blue flag shores of West Cliff Beach and its cheery beach-hut-lined promenade, this home's location alone is enough reason for us to praise it to the skies. Here, you're ten minutes from the bustling town centre on foot and even closer to Pier Road, with its delightful array of waterfront pubs, arcades and seafood restaurants. Across the river, the storied ruins of Whitby Abbey are a fifteen-minute stroll from your doorstep.

Light-filled and stylishly decorated, this home's interiors beckon you to relax from the moment you step through the door. You'll find it perched on the third floor of a Victorian townhouse and boasting spectacular views of the coast. Admire them whilst preparing a feast in the fully-fitted kitchen and, from the double bedroom, gaze out towards a crystal-clear snapshot of Whitby Abbey. 

After days spent swimming in the North Sea, strolling through the cobbled streets of Whitby's old town or hiking through the North York Moors, you'll love returning to this well-equipped abode. Spend evenings cradling cups of tea around the dining table or snuggled up on the sofa in front of the flat-screen television for a cosy movie night in.

Paint The Sky Blue

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

This cosy house is perfect for family breaks to the seaside. It stands on the edge of East Cliff, just a ten-minute walk from Whitby’s town centre and its narrow medieval streets lined with pubs, shops and comfy cafes. You can walk easily to the west side of town, where you’ll find the Blue Flag West Cliff Beach and its brightly coloured beach huts. Add in the wonderful Whitby Abbey and its rich history, and you’ll never be short of things to see and do here. 

The house itself is warm and welcoming, with heaps of space. It’s an excellent choice for a big group of friends or a couple of families travelling together, as there’s plenty of room for everyone. We love the balcony that opens out from the living room – it boasts gorgeous views of Whitby and its harbour, and is the perfect spot for a morning cuppa. Later on in the day, you might pick up takeaway fish and chips to unwrap on one of the picnic tables on the terrace. It’s a lovely way to round off a day at the seaside. 


Boats in the Harbour

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.
