Beautifully furnished to enhance original features including beamed ceilings, wooden floors and panelling, this delightful cottage sleeps five and has seating in a shared outside space. The beach and original fishing village, with its warren of cobbled streets, shops, restaurants and bars are just 300 metres away. Hunt for fossils, often found on the expanse of sand and rock pools and discover more about this fascinating stretch of coast at the National Trust visitor centre on the quayside. Learn a little of the history of the village, once known for its fishing and clandestine smuggling at the Robin Hood’s Bay Museum. Visit Old St Stephen’s Church for exhibitions and concerts in an interior untouched for 200 years and check the North York Moors National Park mobile unit for details of walks and other events in this unspoiled landscape just 10 miles away.
Ceiling beams and a stripped wooden floor are among the original features of the charming living/dining room, furnished with comfortable seating and an open fire. A compact kitchen leads off a pretty dining area with round table and chairs. Beamed ceilings, period fireplaces and panelled walls in three delightful bedrooms are further reminders of the cottage’s history. The first floor has two bedrooms, one double and one single, and a bathroom with a power shower and WC. On the second floor, a twin bedroom with a TV and pretty period bedsteads has splendid sea views across the rooftops. Beams on this ceiling are made from a mast and other ship’s timbers.
A bench to the front of the cottage overlooks a garden area with BBQ, shared with neighbours. The kitchen has three steep steps up from the dining area and three up to the back door.
