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.

With long, sandy beaches, dramatic cliffs and a fascinating history to discover, Whitby has something to offer everyone. 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. With beautiful surrounding countryside to discover and pretty inland and coastal villages to visit, these charming barn conversions provide a wonderful base for a varied and interesting holiday.

Excellent accomodation, just fine for a couple and a dog. 10 minute drive from Whitby and yet a nice rural retreat.(It may be worth informing the owners that the hot water temperature is set too high. It was very difficult to set the shower temperature to sufficiently cool. It was far too hot even when turned to minimum temp.)Other than that minor issue which I am sure is easily rectified I would recommend the accomodation.
