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.

Fantastic holiday at Bees Place. We stayed there with friends, a teenager and 2 dogs. The house was fully equipped with everything we needed to have the perfect stay and everything was spotless, with an added bonus of a nice welcome tray for the humans and one for the dogs also. The attention to detail was superb making this a real home from home retreat. The garden was a great size and fully secure for the dogs, this would be fantastic in the Summer months too! Located within a 10 minute walk from the local supermarket and shops and a 30 minute walk from the town centre, making it the perfect location to leave your car on the drive and walk everywhere, so not having to rely on timed parking or having a drink in the many fantastic bars that Whitby has to offer. Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a holiday in Whitby.

It was a fully equipped home from home; we couldn’t have asked for anything more.
