Enjoying a fantastic location, Bee’s Place is an excellent detached dwelling for families, friends or even two couples looking for the perfect blend of coast and country. It lies just moments away from the rolling hills and moors of the North York Moors National Park, and the beautiful golden sand at Whitby’s Beach. Well-behaved dogs are welcome and will delight in exploring the spacious 120ft enclosed garden. You are just a mile from the centre of Whitby with many footpaths, beaches and woodland for you to enjoy walks together.
The welcoming open plan living space has comfortable seating around the TV and the dining area enjoys views out into the garden, which is a haven for wild birds. This is the ideal social space to unwind together, planning the activities for the day ahead or bonding over a selection of board games. The kitchen is very well equipped, but if you prefer not to cook, this location is great for food lovers as you have freshly caught sea food to enjoy and there is a great selection of restaurants and take aways nearby. On the first floor are four well-appointed bedrooms as well as a family bathroom.
Explore Whitby, with its Gothic abbey, quaint cobbled old town and museums including one on a ship with an exhibition dedicated to the voyager, Captain Cook. Take advantage of your close proximity to the coast and spend a day at Whitby Beach, where you can try your hand at surfing or paddle boarding with the local surf school, sunbathe with your favourite book, or beachcomb the shores, looking out for fossils as well as fragments of precious jet. Jet jewellery is highly regarded here, and you can visit many jet jewellery shops as well as the historical workshop. Wildlife enthusiasts can enjoy a whale watching cruise, searching for seals, dolphins, and whales, which frequent the shores especially in September. Or travel further south along the coast to Bempton Cliffs where thousands of seabirds nest annually at the rspb site.
The coastline here is fabulous with the neighbouring villages of Robin Hood’s Bay, Runswick, Staithes and Sandsend all perfect for a scenic day out all year round. Some visitors love soaking up the sun, whilst others are enthralled on a stormy day watching the waves. Be sure to visit the North York National Park, where a plethora of scenic walks through wooded valleys await, taking the steam train from Whitby gives you a wonderful tour of some of the prettiest villages on the moors. All year round there are many events to enjoy, and for younger family members there is Flamingoland theme park and zoo, the Sea Life Centre, Dalby Forest’s Go Ape and Alpamare Water Park all within a 40 minutes’ drive. Leisure centre with gym and pool 4 minute drive away. Beach 1 mile. Whitby centre 1 mile.

What a fantastic place to stay!If you have dogs, this is the place, the garden is fully enclosed and pretty big. Our 3 greyhounds where more than happy.The inside is spacious and clean with very comfortable beds.There's a supermarket about 5 minutes walk away.A dog friendly beach is 20 minutes walk, as is Whitby itself.I've been using Cottages.com for 20 years+ this is as good as it gets.

Lovely holiday home with a lovely garden which our dogs loved, Alison was so helpful putting summer duvet on bed & leaving buckets for us to wash dog paws. The house was roomy with everything you need & comfortable bed. It is a bit further out of Whitby but parking discs are provided if you want to park & then walk into the town if you don’t fancy a longer walk. Apart from weather not being kind we had a lovely time & would have no hesitation in recommending or revisiting.

We had a lovely family holiday at Bees Place, On arrival we found the house to be lovely and clean, and a great secure garden for our grandchildren and our dogs to play in. My eldest grandson loved playing table tennis. The beds were comfortable. USB charging ports in the bedside lights was really good. Kitchen had everything you would need and lovely and clean. The only thing we found was it is a bit of a walk into Whitby. It house was a good base for exploring the surrounding area. Would book again has we found it just what we were looking for in a holiday home.
