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.

Whitby is a popular historic town, with a wide array of pubs, restaurants and independent shops. Explore the narrow, cobbled lanes and pretty market square, or partake in afternoon tea in one of the many charming, traditional tea rooms. 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.

Located approximately 5 miles from Whitby town centre, the Parlour is quiet and relaxing, just far enough away from the hubbub of the town. With on-site parking, it is clean, comfortable and well equipped with enough kitchen gizmos for self catering. We visited in the winter and found it was cosy even on an extremely windy cold day. All in all a lovely little retreat for a break, we will be repeating in the New Year hopefully.

We couldn’t fault the Parlour absolutely lovely. Unfortunately we got snowed in but Keith and his good wife put themselves out and cleared the driveway so we could go home. Lovely walks and views as well close by and ten minutes to Whitby by car. Great time
