“Fantastic, cosy cottage in a very convenient location.”

We had a lovely stay.

We had a lovely stay.

- Paul, February 2025
Alison December 2024

“The cottage is really well presented, very clean and with good facilities.”

We were met by James and his mother who welcomed us and were on hand if we needed anything. Its location is ideal for the beautiful resorts of North Yorkshire and walking to Runswick Bay was a bonus. The Wi-Fi wasn’t the best but worked ok (streaming anything wasn’t great). Everything was presented with great attention to detail and the furniture and beds were comfortable. It’s on a main road but the windows save you from most of the noise and it didn’t bother us at all. We had a great time and will return sometime.

- Alison, December 2024
Stephanie September 2024

“Fantastic stay, rebooked on return.”

learned so much about the area making me want to revisit and see/walk more. Quaker's Cottage the perfect cosy, comfortable, characterful base, enjoyed every aspect.

- Stephanie, September 2024
Keith September 2024

“We very much enjoyed our stay at this cottage which was very comfortable and ideally located.”

The village itself was friendly and the location was ideal. Many nearby places to explore and eating out was a real pleasure.

- Keith, September 2024
Malcolm September 2024

“Quaker Cottage is a wonderful holiday venue.”

Met by friendly owners and made very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Excellent facilities and less than 100 metres from regular bus services. We enjoyed this special cottage and would love to return.

- Malcolm, September 2024
Jill August 2024

“Lovely stay nice and quiet.”

- Jill, August 2024
Adam August 2024

“An exceptionally clean and cosy cottage which was an ideal base for trips to Scarborough, Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay etc.”

The cottage was well equipped with everything you would need for a longer stay and was ideal for our family of four. Would definately recommend.

- Adam, August 2024
James July 2024

“A Lovely place to stay I really enjoyed the brake would go again”

- James, July 2024
Paul June 2024

“Ideal for our threesome; couple and one elderly Mother.”

Spacious ground floor, well laid out. Easy staircase to use and ideal having two bathrooms, one on each floor. Very convenient and accessible private outdoor space; quite a sun-trap and sheltered from any wind. Lovely village with excellent tearoom, shop and chippy. Good access, by car, to plenty of coastal places north and south of Proprietor and his family were very helpful and considerate. Much to commend this holiday accommodation.

- Paul, June 2024
Eric June 2024

“We had a lovely holiday it’s a very nice village.”

Thetr are some lovely walks and the tea room was very good The cottage was comfortable and clean and well equipped

- Eric, June 2024
Jane May 2024

“A lovely spotlessly clean country style cottage.”

Everything you could possibly need is there. Well maintained, pretty decor and comfy beds. We were warmly welcomed on our arrival. A great base for walking to Staithes, Runswick Bay or a bus ride (every 30mins ) to Whitby. A lovely Butchers shop which also sells groceries and papers, coffee shop, fish and chip shop and a couple of pubs a minutes walk down the road. Would thoroughly recommend.

- Jane, May 2024
Catherine April 2024

“We had a,lovely week and cottage was clean and well equipped.”

The only downfall was the large, uncomfortable black plastic sofa which dominated the already small and dark sitting room. The bed had rather uncomfortable pillows . A very useful garage. Overall clean and adequate but not quite to the standard of our previous stays with Sykes.

- Catherine, April 2024
Robert April 2024

“Comfortable and clean property with every thing you need for your stay in this lovely part of Yorkshire.”

The coastal bus service is very convenient with a local stop very near the property. Don't bother queuing for ages at The Magpie in Whitby, the Excelsior Chippy at the top of Staithes is excellent for fish and chips. The directions provided by Sykes to find the property are very confusing with reference to turning down West End Close, well do not !!! If coming from Whitby the property is on the left just after passing West End Close and if you drive past the Bistro as mentioned...well you've missed it all together... coming from the North the property is on the right just before West End Close and you will pass the Bistro coming this way.

- Robert, April 2024
Brenda March 2024

“Wonderful spotlessly clean, cosy cottage.”

Owners warm and welcoming people, thank you for the welcome supplies. Special thanks to Marianne for your kind thoughtfulness and understanding,. Highly recommend the cottage and look forward to staying again at some time in the future.

- Brenda, March 2024
Jonathan October 2023

“A lovely cosy cottage.”

Spotlessly clean, warm and well-equipped. The friendly owners live nearby. Hinderwell is well located for exploring nearby coastal villages and the moors. Two pubs, one seafood restaurant, a tea room, and a butcher’s shop are all in walking distance. And there’s a very good bus service to Whitby. Only one minor issue was that the shower wasn’t working during our stay. And the bath took quite a while to fill. But that wasn’t a major problem for us.

- Jonathan, October 2023
Karen September 2023

“The cottage was a lovely retreat it was clean and well equipped.”

It was lovely to stay in the village of Hinderwell with Staithes, Runswick bay and Sandsends all in easy reach. The bus service to Whitby is regular every 30 minutes. There are several good pubs serving good value meals. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this cottage to anyone wanting a retreat within easy reach of the coast. Maryanne was really welcoming, the wine and chocolate was a welcome treat. Thank you for a lovely stay Karen and family

- Karen, September 2023
Naomi August 2023

“What a fabulous holiday!”

The characterful cottage was spotlessly clean and had everything we could possibly need; everything just worked. The garage space was dry and clean and really useful. Being just a 5 minute drive from Runswick Bay made our family trips to the beach effortless. The local family who own the cottage were friendly, helpful and welcoming whilst being careful not to intrude. Despite being near the road, the courtyard and gated driveway gave our young children plenty of safe space. Thank you Quaker’s Cottage!

- Naomi, August 2023
Jo August 2023

“Cottage was very clean & well equipped.”

On a busy main main road and you can constantly hear the road noise day & night. There is no beach within a few minutes walk of this property, you need to go everywhere by car but things are close by. The owners live onsite and are very friendly. The living space is quite cramped for a family, & location dangerous for those with young children.

- Jo, August 2023
Tracy June 2023

“Quakers cottage is ideally situated for visiting Whitby, Staithes, Sandsend.”

The local bus stop is just a few minutes away from the cottage. The cottage is spacious, clean and comfortable, equipped with everything you need. Having two bathrooms was handy. The cottage is owned by the local butcher and I can highly recommend the pies, bacon and sausages. Really enjoyable holiday at Quakers cottage.

- Tracy, June 2023
John Leslie June 2023

“This is our 4th visit once again we had a great time.”

Very friendly village, the butchers shop is excellent (butchers own this cottage) They sell newspapers and general provisions as well a credit to the village. The cottage as our previous visits very clean, well equipped, good parking and we will return.

- John Leslie, June 2023
Colin May 2023

Susan December 2022

“We have had a lovely stay at Quakers cottage.”

The facilities were excellent and it was spotlessly clean . We stayed over Christmas and the decorations were a lovely touch! We would highly recommend this property and hope to visit again.

- Susan, December 2022
John Leslie December 2022

“Second visit to Quakers this year and hopefully is all is well we will be back next year, the cottage is very clean and comfortable with good parking facilities.”

Hinderwell is a nice friendly village very well situated for both coast and inland places. The cottage is owned by the local butchers (this is also worth a visit) they sell daily newspapers and general supplies very handy. If you use the bus their is a regular service between Whitby & Middlesbrough, see you next year.

- John Leslie, December 2022
Ian November 2022

“The outside lights were taped over which was a shame as it was dark on an evening.”

The WiFi was shocking.parking.needs a rethink as it was difficult to park with the other cars sticking out. As cosy as we remembered tho and we did enjoy our stay

- Ian, November 2022
Chris October 2022

“Our third time of staying at quacker cottage, we love it.”

- Chris, October 2022
Paul September 2022

“Reviews previous to this one substantiate Quaker's Cottage such that it isn't necessary to repeat praise that those reviews express.”

We stayed at the southern end of Hinderwell six years ago when we needed a pet friendly and three bedroom cottage. Hinderwell and Runswick charmed us enough to seek a return and a stay of two weeks. Quaker's Cottage has been the icing on the cake for this stay, thoroughly enjoying the use of our bus passes to spend time in Whitby, Staithes, Saltburn, & Runswick; taking the steam train to Pickering and back. Wonderful!

- Paul, September 2022
Kay September 2022

“Just returned from this lovely cottage in the lovely village of hinderwell this ...”

Liz August 2022

“Quakers Cottage is a fantastic property.”

I can't think of anything wrong with it. Much more spacious than it looks from the outside. Perfectly appointed and in a really excellent location. Clean and very functional.

- Liz, August 2022
Carol July 2022

“Lovely cottage that was well situated for access to various interesting places along the coast … Runswick Bay, Whitby, Sandsend and close to the North York Moors too.”

Good facilities in the cottage with plenty of room and a useful large attached garage with washing machine that was a good drying area.

- Carol, July 2022
Dianne July 2022

“We had another wonderful week at Quaker’s Cottage at the end of July.”

The cottage is comfortable and well-presented. Hinderwell is a great location- beaches are sandy, accessible and it is excellent that the lifeguards are present. Local shops can provide all the necessities and the tea shop offers great food and friendly service. Thank you. We have booked already for next year.

- Dianne, July 2022
Cliff July 2022

“Absolutely perfect cottage for the four of us, plus baby.”

Fabulously spotless and beautifully equipped. Rear patio area lovely for a quiet evening drink.

- Cliff, July 2022
John Leslie June 2022

“Great cottage very clean, comfortable and well equipped, we had a great time.”

The cottage is owned by the local butchers who are very helpful. They also run a great shop that is an asset to the local community selling newspapers, veg and many other things as well as top class meat, you have got to try the pies to good to miss. Hinderwell is a great place to stay very friendly village close to many attractions, well worth a visit.

- John Leslie, June 2022
Lesley June 2022

“Wonderful stay again at Quaker Cottage, for the Jubilee Bank Holiday.”

The bathroom upstairs had been refreshed and looked lovely. This is our favorite cottage and lovely to see Marian again.

- Lesley, June 2022
Cherry May 2022

“We had a lovely week in Quaker cottage, it was clean and had everything we needed.”

The hosts were very friendly and welcoming and we would definitely recommend it. The village is in a perfect place for walking some of the Cleveland way, and visiting Whitby and Staithes. There is a great little tea shop close by as well as a butcher/general store and not forgetting the fish and chip shop.

- Cherry, May 2022
Gordon April 2022

“We really enjoyed our stay, it was central for all the attractions.”

The cottage was very clean and comfortable.And the photographs don't do it justice. We had a lovely stay and would definitely stay here again.

- Gordon, April 2022
Anthony April 2022

“Only had a 3 day break but what a delightful place to stay.”

Very clean and comfortable. Small village location and peaceful. Without a doubt one of the best that we have stayed in. Most certainly will be looking to stay again but for a full week next time. - Tony and Carol.

- Anthony, April 2022
Nigel November 2021

“An excellent cottage.”

It is well-designed and practical. It is a bit of a tardis, looking smaller from the outside than inside.

- Nigel, November 2021
Chris October 2021

“This was our second time at Quaker Cottage.”

Our previous stay was @ 4 yrs ago in the summer and we loved it, therefore I was a little apprehensive about 1. the weather and 2. that the cottage itself wouldn't be quite as wonderful as the first time. I needn't have worried it's still as wonderful as before, nothings really changed (nothing needed to change) and the three of us had a brilliant time, the dark winter nights just added to the cosiness. Everything about the cottage, location whether walking or driving is perfect for visiting numerous coastal spots, furnishings and comfort everything I could possibly require in a cottage is there, the owner and his mother lovely people and very helpful, parking is no issue and has actually improved since our last visit - you now park by the garage doors. I and possibly more telling my wife could not find anything to fault. We will definitely return, Many Thanks.

- Chris, October 2021
Kevin October 2021

“Stayed in Hinderwell for over 20yrs Camping and cottages This one is perfect for our needs”

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location

- Kate, August 2021
Dianne July 2021

“We spent a really enjoyable week at Quaker’s cottage.”

Friendly village with good facilities. Beautiful beach 10 minutes away. Host and family very helpful. Even the weather was perfect . Very comfortable cottage. We have re- booked! Thank you.

- Dianne, July 2021
Anne July 2021

“Ideally situated for relaxing coastal walks to the north & south, but mind the traffic when crossing from the cottage!”

Within easy driving reach of lots of other small beaches & places of interest. Wonderful 'community' tea shop & local art exhibition etc.1 minute away! The owners of the cottage own the local butchers shop (3 minutes walk) providing not only lovely meat, but selling newspapers, milk etc. Thank you for a lovely holiday base.

- Anne, July 2021
Lesley July 2021

“We have stayed here many times think it's our 5th time, it's our favourite.”

It was great to finally have our holiday after covid restrictions lifted. Marian and her son James are lovely the cottage was very clean. We had a wonderful week, our daughter did suffer with hay-fever bad, but Marian kindly got her some local honey which seemed to help. We are looking forward to visiting again. Xx thank you

- Lesley, July 2021
Ian June 2021

“Although we were aware it was on a main road we did not realise how busy and noisy it could be.”

Saying that it was a beautiful cottage and there were some great walks around the area. Would recommend.

- Ian, June 2021
Paul April 2021

“Fabulous place made so welcome such a lovely village and so much to do in the local area .”

- Paul, April 2021
Paula April 2021

“It's a brilliantly located cottage, lots of walking from the door but also on a bus route up and down the coast and easy driving to Heartbeat Country.”

The kitchen was really well equipped with plenty of all the basics. Everything was clean and comfortable with handy sized outdoor furniture for chasing the sun around the courtyard garden. Being able to pop into the butcher's shop for tourist info as well as bacon was invaluable for finding the Cleveland Way during a high tide!

- Paula, April 2021
Mark April 2021

“Brilliant base for our family holiday a mile away from the amazing Runswick Bay which might be even better than Robin Hoods Bay (and we love it there) pluys found loads of fossils.”

Also, owners were great to us both on the phone and face to face. Please update the website as you can park at the property and your site says it is off site... makes a huge difference!!!

- Mark, April 2021
Graham October 2020

“We had a great stay here.”

Quaker’s Cottage is spotless & well-equipped. Marianne is a lovely lady who takes a lot of pride in the cottage & was ready to help out if we needed anything. Hinderwell is well situated for coastal walks with Staithes, Port Mulgrave & Runswick Bay within easy reach. Saltburn & Whitby an easy drive. James runs the local butcher & we bought bacon, jam, bread & newspapers. I recommend the Badger Hounds for dinner - a 3 minute walk. Was so good we visited 3 times. Also the Seaview Restaurant in Saltburn. Fish & chips in Hinderwell very good also. Despite the new lockdown we had a great time & highly recommend Quaker’s Cottage.

- Graham, October 2020
Annie October 2020

“Lovely cottage, warm and comfortable.”

The only thing worth mentioning is that the double mattress was rather worn; could have been comfier. Cottage was brilliantly located for exploring Staithes, Whitby, Robin Hood's Bay etc Runswick Bay was walking distance. More recommendations for good pubs would have been appreciated. Owners really friendly.

- Annie, October 2020
Mary October 2020

“TV reception very poor.”

Having to strip bedding and depart before 9am is not acceptable to.

- Mary, October 2020
Laura August 2020

“We had a great time at Quakers cottage!”

!! The cottage was immaculate and we had everything we could need. James and his family were very helpful. They own the village butchers shop where we got some yummy bacon and sausage for breakfast. We literally have not a bad word to say.

- Laura, August 2020
Karen July 2020

“James and family couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful.”

Check in was very straightforward, cottage was spotless with everything as advertised. Great location for the North York Moors and coast with Port Mulgrave and Runswick Bay both easy walks from the cottage. Visited the local chippie for delicious fish and chips (advance phone orders only due to covid). James is the local butcher and has a wide variety of excellent meat, as well as bread, milk, fruit and veggies etc. from the shop in Hinderwell. If travelling during covid, book pubs in advance- we couldn’t eat in the local as it was booked a week in advance. Would happily stay here again if visiting the area.

- Karen, July 2020
Ian July 2020

“Very clean.”

Very nice stay, wish to stay again, but a few niggles- No dishwasher, by main road between Whitby and Staithes, taps in bathroom upstairs configured incorrectly. Hope to come back soon.

- Ian, July 2020
Tracy March 2020

“Cottage was lovely.”

Very well equipped. Would highly recommend.

- Tracy, March 2020
Sandra February 2020

“We had a lovely break at Quaker's Cottage in February despite the best efforts of Storm Dennis.”

Welcome basket of wine and snacks was a lovely surprise and much appreciated. Cottage was warm, comfortable and well equipped; ideal location for exploring Yorkshire coast. Would definitely recommend.

- Sandra, February 2020
Anne February 2020

“Enjoyed our stay in this very lovely, comfortable cottage.”

The owners were very helpful and accommodating when we were considering changing our time of arrival and departure due to storms Ciara and Dennis.

Michael August 2019

“We have just had seven very enjoyable days in this cottage ,the owners , marriane and her son James are lovely people making us welcome and making sure we were ok , the family has a shop just up the road selling most food and a butchers There is a lovely pub nearly opposite serving excellent meals , the cottage is in a good position for visiting the coast With a bus stop for both ways outside , the welcome pack with crisps , chocolate, bottle of wine ,milk and soaps was a lovely touch and much appreciated, the last reviewer said the road noise bothered them ,after all it is main rd ,but don’t worry about it ,it is not a Problem , it certainly did not bother us , we had good nights sleep and was very comfortable, so all very good and we hope to return .”

- Michael, August 2019
Gerard August 2019

“The cottage was very comfortable.”

On a negative side there where no coat hooks to hang your coats. Plus I think there should be wooden chairs in the dining area instead of the plastic ones which seemed out of character. The parking wasn't actually on site as portrayed in the advertising, but having re-read the description, it was described in the depth of the blurb, and indeed it was only 1 minute away.

- Gerard, August 2019
Mary July 2019

“This is a lovely comfortable cottage.”

It is a good base for exploring both the coast and North Yorkshire Moors. We were made welcome by the owners. However the cottage is right beside a main road, A174. This results in a lot of traffic noise which can be heard inside the cottage even with the windows shut. We found the road was very busy early evening so sitting in the sunny courtyard to relax after a days walking was spoilt by hearing the sound of cars, buses, lorries and bikes zooming past. Unfortunately it was not the quiet country cottage we had hoped for.

- Mary, July 2019
Susan May 2019

“We found the cottage was well situated for all the things we wanted to do in the area.”

It was clean and comfortable and the Welcome pack was much appreciated as were the fresh flowers. The owners were very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed.

- Susan, May 2019
Emma April 2019

“Quakers cottage is an absolute favourite - home from home .”

- Emma, April 2019
Hugh April 2019

“This is a superb cottage which surpassed my expectations.”

There was a lovely welcome when we arrived and everything is so clean. Faultless stay for the week. We had a really comfortable time. I would both recommend this cottage again and again, and would imagine that I’ll be rebooking at some stage in the future.

- Hugh, April 2019
Jonathan March 2019

“Lovely little cottage.”

Perfect for a few days away. Cottage really clean and welcoming. Great pub down the road, what's not to like?

- Jonathan, March 2019
Lucy December 2018

“Lovely cottage , hosts very welcoming helpful and friendly.”

- Lucy, December 2018
Frances December 2018

“Perfect cottage in perfect location.”

Everything spotlessly clean, scrummy goodies left for us by Marianne (who was lovely) who had decorated the living area with Christmas lights and ornaments. Excellent meal in The Badger Hounds and the village was very convenient, we will definitely visit again.

- Frances, December 2018
David November 2018

“We had a lovely stay in quakers cottage.”

there was a very generous welcome pack on arrival which was great. the cottage was really clean and cosy and the beds very comfortable. the cottage is in a lovely village with pubs ,a chippy , a café and james the owners, butchers come general store. james and his mum were very helpful and the villagers we met friendly.there are plenty of places to visit and the area is very nice. we would definitely go again and would recommend this cottage to anyone.

- David, November 2018
Emma October 2018

“Quakers cottage is homely and cosy - close to lots of fabulous areas moors and coast.”

The badger hounds pub does the most fabulous food !! Nothing is too much for the owners who checked to see if we were warm enough! We love this place and have booked our return visit already.

- Emma, October 2018
Brian October 2018

“Great bus service available on the doorstep”

- Brian, October 2018
Claire September 2018

“Cottage was better than expected!”

Perfectly clean and cosy! Double bed mattress was softer than we would be used to, so we used the single beds and they were great! Parking was great and less than a 1 minute walk, although there is also roadside parking. Home from home and the wifi was a nice added extra! We have even discussed returning next year we loved it that much

- Claire, September 2018
Chris August 2018

“Quaker cottage as reviewed by many is absolutely perfect.”

We (family of 3 with a 7 yr old) spent a very happy week in August with not 1 thing we could grumble let alone complain about. An ideal place for visiting Scarborough, Whitby, Saltburn as we did or for cliff top walks into Runswick bay or Staithes, a different beach every day with very little driving required. Port Mulgrave's a challenge you don't normally face when visiting the beach but all the better for it, we loved it. James the owner was very helpful and although we never met I had no doubts if needed he'd be there to sort any problems. Needless to say we'd happily return, thanks for the most hassle free holiday in years in a perfect English seaside cottage.

- Chris, August 2018
Rachel August 2018

“The cottage,owner and location was just lovely.”

Ideal for a family stay on the Yorkshire coast. Best places to visit is Staithes, Runswick Bay, Robin HoodsBay and Whitbys Sandsend Beach. The accommodation is spacious, comfortable and very clean indeed. However the only negative point that is disappointing is that parking is away from the property. There is space situated near the cottage garage driveway and parking here would be much more beneficial to elderly or family's with push chairs. Possibly a consideration for the owners to make this cottage a perfect stay for all.

- Rachel, August 2018

“The cottage was great & the owner was very friendly.”

Sykes cottages always deliver a great cottage experience. We have used them many times & we have never been disappointed.

- Raymond, June 2018
Frank May 2018

“The cottage was spotlessly clean, well equipped and very comfortable.”

We spent almost every day at either Staithes or Runswick Bay which are both very close with the odd trip into Whitby. Owners very friendly and available throughout the stay. My wife and I are already planning to stay there next year. Great Cottage.

- Frank, May 2018
Moira May 2018

“Lovely cottage with every amenity provided.”

The scenery of the North Yorkshire coast is stunning. Our hosts were friendly and welcoming and we will definitely return.

- Moira, May 2018
Janet April 2018

“The cottage and its environment suited us perfectly.”

The facilities and the people enabled us to further value the environments of the North Yorkshire Moors, its coast and its heritage. The abundance of the sounds of Spring, the flora and fauna were a delight. This was topped by the enjoyment of eating local fresh food!

- Janet, April 2018
Maggie April 2018

“A delightful cottage beautifully presented with thoughtful touches throughout.”

Home from home - only better! Warmly welcomed on arrival. Had a wonderful few days here and highly recommend. An ideal location for exploring the North Yorkshire Moors and coastline. MM - Peterborough - April 2018

Fiona April 2018

“We had a lovely week last week at the cottage despite the weather not being too great.”

The cottage was warm and cosy for the 4 of us (with 2 children 5 and 2). We were made to feel very welcome and there was everything we needed as well as some very lovely surprises when we arrived at the cottage. The owners could not have been friendlier. Thank you so much, Rob, Fiona, Ellis and Sam Dobson xx

- Fiona, April 2018
Marian March 2018

“Really enjoyed my stay.”

Could not have been better.

- Marian, March 2018
Sarah March 2018

“A fantastic quaint little cottage lovely place to stay and fabulous owners who live next door and own the local butchers/village shop.”

The "arrival pack" of some wine crisps and chocolate and milk in fridge for a cuppa was a delightful surprise. I would recommend Quakers Cottage without any reservation at all. We had an amazing week staying here and even the locals in brown cow pub made us feel welcome we didn't want to leave such a fantastic and friendly village.

- Sarah, March 2018
Aline February 2018

“All was good indeed much better than expected.”

We booked for seven days but on the third day there was heavy snow so the owners allowed us to stay an extra two days so we did not have to attempt the long drive home whilst the roads were affected by snow. Marianne, the owners mother, who lived next door called on us every day to make sure we were OK, were warm enough and had sufficient supplies. they could not have been more helpful.

- Aline, February 2018
Emma February 2018

“The cottage is beautiful in a fabulous location.”

- Emma, February 2018
Deborah October 2017

“Great location for many lovely days out.”

Lovely place. Whitby is a good day out and there is more if you go off the front. Little cobbled streets galore. Quaint little shops. Robin hoods bay is a beautiful place visit.. Sandsend beech is a nice walk and the cafes do lovely food. Altogether a wonderful break. Deb Leah and Marie say thank you to James and family.

The property

This delightful, detached stone cottage, sits in the small village of Hinderwell, nine miles north up the coast from Whitby.

Situated in the North York Moors National Park, it is well-placed for walking, cycling and traditional seaside holidays.

Accessed by a garden gate to French doors at the side of the property, you step into the spacious open plan living area that has been thoughtfully presented to a high standard.

There is a modern oak kitchen with a dining table to the side and a comfortable sitting area with a leather corner sofa and with a bathroom and a ground floor shower room, there will be no queues in the morning!

With beams, tongue and groove doors and traditional furnishings, it provides a characterful and welcoming cottage to come back to at the end of a rewarding day.

Outside, a rectangular small courtyard is a lovely sun trap in the afternoon.

There are excellent local amenities within a stone’s throw from this charming cottage, including a good butcher's, a local pub, a tea room and a village shop.

Port Mulgrave beach is just a few minutes’ walk, with its fossils and rock pooling, whilst the picturesque fishing village of Runswick Bay is one mile away and offers a sandy cove, just perfect for building sand castles and paddling in the sea.

Take a bracing cliff-top walk on the Cleveland Way with superb coastal views, or explore the nearby seaside town of Whitby, steeped in history with its narrow, cobbled streets, interesting shops and famous abbey.

On the edge of the North York Moors, this inviting and homely cottage makes an ideal base for a memorable family holiday.
