About this property

Hinderwell 0.7 miles. Set on a serene private complex called The Pines at Runswick Bay, Rockpool Retreat presents a luxury holiday lodge to relax in amidst the North York Moors coast. Close to the delightful beach of Runswick Bay, you can enjoy both coast and countryside in the company of your loved ones in this three-bedroom abode. Step across the enclosed decking and make your way into the open-plan living space, decorated in neutral hues and quality furnishings creating a fabulous space to wind down in when you're not out exploring. Choose a film to watch on the Smart TV while the electric stove-effect fire adds a homely aura to the scene then sink into the plush sofas after a day full of walking. Enjoy cooking in the amply-equipped kitchen fitted with a fabulous range of quality appliances. Mealtimes can be enjoyed around the dining table serving a chance to regroup and plan for the coming days. Take an aperitif out onto the enclosed decking to soak in the last of the afternoon sun, while your four-legged friend sits by your side before retiring to one of the three bedrooms. Choose from a double with sleek en-suite bathroom or the double and twin serviced by a family shower room, all bedrooms are furnished with plenty of storage and TVs perfect for lazy mornings. The pretty seaside village of Runswick Bay has narrow passages and quaint streets to wander, take a photo of the only remaining thatched house on the Yorkshire coast which was once an old coastguard's house, before finding some excellent food served within The Runswick Bay Hotel, or if you're wanting a beach-side snack pop into the Runswick Bay Cafe. Enjoy discovering the area from the water with Barefoot Kayak, who are based in the village, offering guided kayak tours, sure to be an unforgettable holiday experience! Take in the coastal views and the beautiful moors by walking along the Cleveland Way Walk. Within the heart of the North York Moors National Park is The North Yorkshire Moors Railway, now a well-travelled walking and cycling route of 18-miles. Don't miss a chance to visit the historic coastal town of Whitby, famously the inspiration of Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' it offers many attractions, from the eerie Whitby Abbey commanding extraordinary views over the town and sea, reached via the challenging 199 Steps as well as the glorious Blue Flag beaches where you can sit and delight in some classic fish and chips. A world of adventure awaits on the coast of North Yorkshire at Rockpool Retreat.

Small but bustling, Hinderwell is a rural community with shops and pubs located near the beautiful coastal towns of Staithes and Runswick Bay and only 9 miles from the quaint port of Whitby. From the dramatic cliffs and smugglers' coves of the coast to the deep, secluded dales of the North York Moors National Park, the area immediately surrounding Hinderwell is stunning. Those looking for a peaceful getaway will find plenty to do in the area, including walking, cycling, gliding, riding, and fishing.

    The keycode given for the pedestrian gate does not work we had to reach round and press the button to open it. Overall great lodge and definitely will stay again

    15pm there was a power cut, which lasted until 11.15am on Friday 10th November 2023. During those 12 hours, apart from obviously having no lighting, we had no heating, no hot water and no means with which to make a hot drink. There was a torch in the lodge but the batteries were flat. As it was November, the lodge was freezing. We went up to the Reception area on Friday morning to speak to someone and there was no one there. We didn’t hear anything at all from the site owners/staff regarding what was happening and when the electricity was likely to be switched back on. We had to ring the energy provider, Northern Powergrid to find out what the situation was. I’m afraid this is totally unacceptable. We should have been kept informed. I am now looking to you for compensation for the time we were without electricity, as you did not provide basic amenities, as specified in your holiday details, for 12 hours.

    The site was wonderfully peaceful & a great base from which to explore the many beaches of the North Yorkshire coast with our cocker spaniel. Thank you for having us!
