The quaint seaside village of Robin Hood’s bay is even closer, with whimsical cobbled streets and winding footpaths linking the cluster of houses spilling down to the waters edge.

A must is a climb up the 199 steps to the famous abbey, or a windswept clifftop walk along the Cleveland Way. Take a trip on the heritage steam train as it winds its way over the heather laced moorland from Whitby to the market town of Pickering. Visit ancient woodland such as Falling Foss or Dalby Forest. Or take a day trip to Scarborough, visiting the Peasholm Parks oriental gardens or Alpamare Waterpark with a spa overlooking the sea for an relaxing day enjoying the heated outdoor pools and the saunas.

Great location. In between Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay. Supermarkets 5 mins down the road. Great views of the abbey from the back of the cottage. Owners are lovely and so helpful. Great walks around the farm for dog owners, including a secure dog walking field. Easy to find but use the Google link not a sat nav. Would definitely recommend and will look to stay again in the future.
