Nice to haves

This charming cottage in Robin Hood's Bay has character in spades. Its interior, filled with quirky maritime antiques, harks back to the town's smuggler history – in the eighteenth century, silk, tea, and gin were illegally brought ashore on the Yorkshire coast in such quantities that the alcohol was used for cleaning windows. Even today, the lively village is full of winding narrow lanes, with fishermen selling their fresh catch of the day. Walk for two minutes, and you'll be on the sandy beach - perfect for sunbathing or rock pool exploration. The village of Robin Hood's Bay is just five miles from the seaside delights of Whitby (and its two-mile-long beach). It's also part of the North York Moors National Park, so you can forget about the city and hike through unspoiled nature or take the authentic steam train through the hills for a more relaxed scenic journey. After a long day of seeing the sights, return to this special cottage to warm up by the open fire or get the barbecue going on the patio in the summer months (perhaps accompanied by a gin and tonic you've smuggled in).

This beautiful Grade II listed cottage combines a quaint interior with a modern finish. The location is a dream – situated on a cobbled alleyway at the bottom of the small fishing village of Robin Hood's Bay while lying within North York Moors National Park. You'll be just off the beaten track and away from the tourist hotspots, which makes for a peaceful idyll. This cottage has a warm farmhouse feel, with the kind of lounge you'll want to relax in together with a brew every evening. In the morning, take turns cooking breakfast in the characterful kitchen before sitting down to eat together in the open-plan dining space. The beach is a two-minute walk away, along with the unique gift shops, cafes, bistros, and traditional pubs that this historic coastal village has to offer. For a larger seaside town, drive fifteen minutes north to Whitby and take in its ancient architecture and cliffs - known to have inspired Bram Stoker to write 'Dracula' during his stay there. Once you get back to the cottage, put your feet up and enjoy drinks on the patio before tucking into a delicious dinner.

Make the great escape to this charming coastal lodge set in the postcard-pretty village of Scalby, fringing the archetypal seaside resort of Scarborough.

Elegantly styled throughout, there's no need to tussle for the best room here. Upstairs, each bedroom feels as luxurious as the next, with quiet desk nooks for those planning to work or study during their stay. 

But this home really comes into its own in the vast living spaces back downstairs. You can expect to do some entertaining here with two dining areas to choose from. Lay the table for glamorous suppers and games nights in the dedicated dining room. Keep things casual with lazy brunches (mimosa, anyone?) in the light-filled sunroom with the garden doors open wide. Or take things outside to savour morning coffees on the furnished garden terrace fringed by manicured lawns – the village newsagents is just a stroll away to pick up the papers.

When the sea finally lures you, Scarborough's four sandy bays are just a two-and-a-half mile drive away for bucket and spade days. Our vote goes to North Bay, with its golden sandy shores and chalet-lined promenade – it's just like you imagined. And there's always lashings of fish and chips and ice creams when tummies rumble. Or swing by Scalby's gastro pub within stumbling distance of your home – you'll be sure of a warm welcome.

Ice Cream Smiles

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.

Grab a book and snuggle up on the chair in the window – on a clear day, you can see across the rooftops towards the iconic Whitby Abbey. Feel like cooking? 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. Add in the proximity to Whitby's other hotspots – be it the Church of Saint Mary, whale-watching boat tours, museums and the Cleveland Way – and this pocket-sized pad is a perfect fit for a couple on a seaside getaway.

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. And with every bedroom but one boasting king-sized beds clad in crisp snow-white linens, there’s no need to tussle for the best room here.

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.

Step-Free Access

It may have literary associations with a certain Count Dracula, but you won't find any vampires roaming the streets of Whitby. Instead, it's a charming and memorable seaside town with more than a few fans who return year after year. And a stay in this smart home is bound to be unforgettable, with a great location and a few luxury touches. Set over three floors, and with a striking modern interior, it's perfect for a large family or a group of friends. On the first floor there's a super stylish open-plan kitchen and living space, made for socialising over breakfast or lingering in over drinks in the evening, with a more cosy sitting room on the ground floor. The bedrooms are all of a good size, but it's the master that impresses us the most thanks to its free-standing bath tub in the corner of the room. Stroll into the town to explore its boutiques and eateries, play on the beach, climb the steps up to the abbey ruins and, whatever you do, don't miss out on some of the world's best fish and chips. Here it's all right on your doorstep.

Set within Whitby docks, this charming two-bedroom apartment boasts some wonderful water views with the River Esk on its doorstep. You can feel its cosiness and warmth wrap itself around you as soon as you step through the front door. With neutral decor, this home doesn’t intend to show off, but rather keep things simple. Feature walls dressed with elegant wallpaper give a quiet nod to nature and drape a sense of tranquillity over the space. The leather sofa invites you to sink into it with a good book and a glass of red wine to while away a quiet evening after a day out hiking the North York Moors. As your eyes become heavy with sleep, stroll through to your bedroom and tuck yourself under the crisp white sheets. You’ll find it easy to drift off into a blissful night’s sleep.

Locally, wander along the river's east bank and you’ll find narrow, mediaeval streets boasting pubs, boutiques and an abundance of fish restaurants. Cross the river to the west bank via the swing bridge, and you’ll soon feel the sand beneath your feet at West Cliff Beach, lined with picturesque beach huts in an array of colours. Whether you plan to hike the moors, tour the town, or spend lazy days at the beach, this home-away-from-home gives you the perfect base to retreat to after a long, exhilarating day in the local area. 

River Retreat

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.
