About this property
Nestled at the heart of the quaint village of Hinderwell, North Yorkshire in The North York Moors National Park is Driftwood Cottage. This fabulous cottage boasts a central location to the village’s amenities and close proximity to the coast, a charming woodburning stove and private courtyard, all perfect for couples or small families seeking a coastal retreat. After traversing the surrounding countryside, enter into your new home-from-home and unwind in the sitting room in front of the Smart TV while your partner pampers you with a romantic meal prepared in the contemporary, fully-equipped kitchen. Enjoy this at the dining table and reminisce on the memories you have created so far; if the sun is still shining why not delight in an alfresco affair at the furniture in the courtyard. Toast your retreat with your favourite tipple and marvel as the stars fill the sky before heading inside to wash off the day’s adventures in the ground-floor bathroom. Be sure to catch your rest on the first floor, choose from the four poster double bedroom or the single with handy truckle bed. From your door find the local stores in the centre of the village where you can stock up on essentials or treat your loved ones to a delicious meal at The Brown Cow or The Badger Hounds. Venture to the coast to admire the sea views at Runswick Bay Beach or join the Cleveland Way, an iconic 110 mile walking route traversing countryside, moorlands and the coast, perfect for guests wanting to experience all the terrains of North Yorkshire. Head south to explore Whitby, stroll its stunning stretch of sand before taking the challenging 199 steps up to Whitby Abbey offering picturesque and panoramic views across the town and the North Sea; time your visit right to experience the famous twice-year Whitby Goth Weekend music festival. Other coastal towns such as Staithes, Saltburn-by-the-Sea and Robin Hood’s Bay are also easily accessible by car. Adventure awaits on the coast at Driftwood Cottage
Although it is only 9 miles from the attractive harbour town of Whitby, the rural village of Hinderwell is a lively hub with shops and pubs close to the scenic fishing villages of Staithes and Runswick Bay. Hinderwell is a great base from which to explore the stunning landscapes in the area, from the North York Moors National Park's deep, lonely dales to the coast's dramatic cliffs and smugglers' coves. The area is ideal for a relaxed holiday because it provides plentiful opportunities for walking, cycling, gliding, riding, and fishing.

Much to my joy, there were fresh flowers in the kitchen, milk in the fridge, crisps, sweets and a local cake awaiting us along with tea and coffee. Tea towels and cleaning products were supplied too. The woodburner was laid and ready to be lit. The owner had obviously listened to previous suggestions and acted on all of them except for supplying an airer. There is an outside line but no pegs. Parking off road at the front was a bonus. New kitchen and bathroom. Courtyard will be a lovely space in the summer with table, chairs and a bbq. Unfortunately, at present, the solar lights were not working but it is only March! Bench in the front garden catches the sun. Would definitely like to return here again. Village has 2 pubs, both serving food, an excellent butcher, petrol station and hairdressers (l think). Close to beaches and on a very efficient bus route.

The log burner was lovely and a necessity as we stayed during a very cold week. We found the bedrooms cold at the begining of our week but they had warmed up by the end! We enjoyed staying in Driftwood cottage and had a lovely winter break in Hinderwell. The pan selection was limited/small with no lids provided so we were glad we had taken a large pan from home. The carpets upstairs appeared not to have been vacuumed which was a shame as we also couldn't find one to do it ourselves. Otherwise it was ideal for us and our dog especially with the secure outside areas which would have been well used in better weather!

It's facilities make it a home away from home and a great base for exploring the local area. The kitchen was well equipped, everything was clean and tidy and the bed very comfortable. The off road parking was a bonus and the very secure front and back gardens brilliant for our lively dog. The only improvement I could suggest would be a clothes airer, so we could hang out coats out to dry (we had sleet and snow during our visit) but that would be it. We would definitely come back again.
