This traditional cottage sits in the historic coastal village of Staithes, just a short stroll from the beach as well as the local cafes, pubs and independent shops. Inside, the living room has a log-burning fireplace, and the kitchen features exposed beams that add to the cottage’s character. The age of the home does mean the staircases are quite steep and shallow, but overall, it's a great base for exploring the North Yorkshire coast.

The wild hinterland of the North Yorkshire Moors can be discovered on foot over meandering paths, or from the comfort of a Victorian carriage on a vintage steam train.
