Located in the picturesque village of Lythe, this charming cottage is guaranteed to provide a relaxing holiday stay. Lythe is only a mile from the seaside resort of Sandsend, and 4 miles from Whitby. It’s close to numerous coastal towns, villages, and beaches, including Runswick Bay, just 4.5 miles away. Drive inland to enjoy the craggy beauty of the North York Moors with unlimited walks, 4 miles from the property. Built at the top of a hill, Lythe has a church and castle grounds (Lythe comes from the Scandinavian word for slope), and a pub to revive yourself after a long walk. Just south of the village is Mulgrave Castle, built in 1200. The Cleveland Way passes through Lythe with dramatic coastline, rural scenery, wild moorland and pretty villages waiting to be explored.

From the entrance area, a quarry tiled floor takes you to the large, light kitchen/diner with plenty of space for everyone to get together. The entrance area has coat storage and a nod to the local church with a pretty church pew. A double glass door leads to the lovely living room, with sofa space for six, a TV and a gorgeous feature inglenook fireplace with wood burner, perfect for evenings in. Stairs from the lounge go to the first floor, encompassing two bedrooms – one with a double bed, one with a set of bunk beds – and a family bathroom. On the second floor is the spacious master suite/adult retreat. There’s plenty of room to relax, with a two-seater sofa, and a Juliet balcony for enjoying the view. You are also treated to a spacious en-suite shower room with double-size cubicle.

To the right of the main door, a set of double doors lead to the utility room – with more dining chairs if needed. There’s also a small, paved courtyard at the front of the property with seating.

A lovely and comfortable cottage in an excellent location just outside Sandsend. Fitted to a very high standard, the top floor suite was just outstanding with sea and sunset views. We loved our week here.

An excellent location for Whitby side of Yorkshire. Cottage is roomy and easily accommodate 6 people. Beware if bringing a dog that you have to leave it downstairs and master bedroom is 2 floors up, not ideal if your dog usually stays near you and is apt to react to noise as people from nearby campsite pass right past the cottage early and late. ExRead morecellent bus service at end of the lane and a wonderful community shop in the village. A good base for exploring local area. Hide

Handy location to use as a hub to get to Whitby, moors, coast etc. No garden, but then again plenty of open spaces within a short walk.

Lovely clean and spacious cottage tucked behind the Stiddy Pub. Neighbours all very friendly and welcoming. Very little outdoor space and only one small parking area available but ample parking across the road. Kitchen extremely well equipped and good communication with host. The central heating is set to a timer which was rather complicated to chaRead morenge so we had to ask the owner to put the heating on during the day when it got chilly, but he was very quick to respond to our text message. Lovely walks down to the fantastic beaches. We had a great time and would recommend this property Hide

The property was lovely but the oven was filthy. Looked as though it hadnt been cleaned for years. Oven trays were well past there best The central heating was set for timed periods with no instructions how to override or increase the temperature and we found we were cold on occasions. No kindling for the wood burner that we could find.
