    “Such a beautiful cottage in a quiet location with stunning countryside surrounding it, it had everything we needed, really cosy and was immaculately clean.”

    It is small but perfectly formed and was the perfect stay for us and our dog. The property does have 2 very steep staircases to the bedrooms but nothing that you wouldn’t expect of a property that type. Next door is a lovely pub, we had a beautiful meal there too. Loved our stay at Esmes cottage, highly recommend.

The property

Whitby 7.6 miles.

Esme's Cottage is a characterful stone-built holiday home idyllically positioned in the tranquil village of Ugthorpe near Whitby, in the picturesque county of North Yorkshire.

Quaint and cosy, this Ugthorpe cottage will delight couples and families looking to stay in peaceful surroundings, but still be within easy reach of the coast, with Whitby just nine miles away.

Beautifully renovated to a high standard, Esme's Cottage radiates charm and character, retaining many original features throughout, including beamed ceilings, aged timber floors, a traditional salt cupboard and panelled walls.

The homely sitting room boasts a warming multi-fuel stove set within a stone fireplace, providing a snug spot to gather together with your loved ones to enjoy a movie marathon in the evening.

The bespoke, hand-crafted kitchen has a Belfast sink, wooden worktops and a rustic stable door, and is equipped with a wonderful array of amenities to assist with your self catering needs.

When sleep calls, choose between two pretty bedrooms, a double, set across the way from a sparkling bathroom, which offers an elegant roll-top bath and walk-in shower on the first floor, plus a twin, lovingly positioned under the exposed beams of the second floor.

Take advantage of the traditional country pub that rests on your doorstep and treat your loved ones to a home cooked meal at The Black Bull Inn, or for a wider variety of choice, head into the heart of Whitby where you'll find a wealth of eateries sure to suit all tastes and budgets.

Whilst in Whitby, be sure to climb the iconic 199 steps to reach the ruins of Whitby Abbey, a 7th-century monastery famed as the inspiration behind Bram Stoker's novel, Dracula, and soak in the exquisite views from its elevated position on the East Cliff, or learn of Captain Cook's maritime voyages at the Memorial Museum.

Feel the sand between your toes as you lounge with a good book on the glorious sands of Sandsend Beach, or venture further afield and spend the day exploring the sights of Scarborough for an exciting change of pace.

Make unforgettable memories with a staycation at Esme's Cottage.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.

Take a trip to the picturesque harbour and lighthouse to watch the sun set or get involved in some whale watching or a coastal cruise to watch the creatures up close.
