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.

About Whitby

Famously the setting of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, there’s something hauntingly beautiful about Whitby. The ruins of Whitby Abbey, set atop a windy hill overlooking the town, are just like a scene from a gothic novel. When the sun sets, ghost tours amble through the cobbled streets, revealing the town’s dramatic history. By day it’s all idyllic fishing village vibes, with a hint of Victorian holidays. Colourful cottages that have seen...
