2 Bed in Whitby (oc-r038)

Thoughtfully decorated throughout to combine gorgeous traditional features with high-quality modern comforts, this historic cottage is just minutes from the beach in Robin Hood’s Bay and has lovely views, especially from its second-floor bedroom. Set over four storeys, it’s a cosy and characterful escape for small families or couples all year round.


The cottage was built in 1634 and boasts original beams, floors and fireplaces, as well as period furniture and nautical antiques. In the timber-panelled lounge the built-in ‘cathedral’ cupboard makes an eye-catching feature. Snuggle up in this atmospheric room, in front of the flame-effect gas fire in the winter, and enjoy a book, some music, the Freesat TV or a DVD. Head down to the lower-ground floor and you’ll find the kitchen/diner, which has another Freesat TV, as well as an open fire in a Yorkshire range - making this a wonderful space in which to linger after supper. On the first floor there’s a handsome family bathroom and a double bedroom (twin on request) - reached via a cottage-style staircase with no landing; the same goes for the stairs to the double bedroom on the second floor. This room, which has an en-suite WC, offers amazing views over the rooftops of the bay. Enjoy a cuppa in the shared courtyard at the front, or light the chimenea on the balcony at the back and grill something tasty.


Known for its steep and winding paths, Robin Hood’s Bay is postcard-pretty with a delight around every corner. Explore the boutique shops, the beach (great for rock pooling and fossil hunting) and the variety of places to eat, and head out on any number of scenic walks, whether along the coast path or inland on the North York Moors.
