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.

About Robin Hood's Bay
On the coastal edge of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, Robin Hood’s Bay is a quaint fishing village with a sweep of glorious beach.
