Resting in the quaint coastal town of Staithes in the North York Moors National Park is Ships Bell.
This historic, stone-fronted property boasts charming characterful features including exposed stone walls and beams, three well-presented bedrooms and a woodburning stove, the perfect setting for families seeking a coastal getaway.
After traversing North Yorkshire’s coastline enter to find a homely sitting room where you can warm your feet by the woodburning stove in front of the TV before heading to the lower-ground-floor to prepare a hearty meal in the fully-equipped kitchen.
Dine together as a family at the table before climbing the stairs to wash off the day’s adventures in either the ground-floor shower room or sleek first-floor bathroom furnished with a claw foot bath.
When sleep calls, rest up ahead of another adventure-filled day in one of three bedrooms; choose from a double, a second-floor double and a single.
In the morning enjoy your evening coffee while marvelling at the view across Staithes from the small seating area at the front of the house.
Then head into the heart of the town to stock up on essentials at the local store or treat your loved ones to a special meal or drinks at The Royal George or The Endeavour.
Meander through Staithes’ charming cobbled streets to find the small, secluded beach and harbour where you can admire vistas of the North Sea.
Venture further afield to Whitby to tour famous attractions including Whitby Abbey, the harbour, Captain Cook Memorial Museum and the Whale Bone Arch then indulge in the town’s famous fish and chips while strolling along its golden sands.
The brave among you may dare to climb the infamous 199 steps or visit the Dracula Experience with live actors.
Outdoor enthusiasts will be in their element as they can join the Cleveland Way which runs from Helmsley to the coast and down to Filey, totalling an impressive 110 miles.
Delight in North Yorkshire’s attractions at Ships Bell.
