Perhaps the best known of the villages near to Whitby is Robin Hood's Bay. Situated at the bottom of a very steep hill and surrounded by vertical cliffs, it is one of the most charismatic and remote settlements on the Yorkshire coast and has a fascinating and colourful past. Originally an isolated fishing village, Robin Hood's Bay became infamous as the most active smuggling centre on the North Yorkshire coast. At low tide, 1800 feet of exposed sea-floor makes for great fossil hunting, rock-pooling and exploring. You can walk to nearby Ravenscar at low tide when the three miles of beach are exposed. Nearby attractions include Whitby, with its ancient Abbey and evening ghost walks, Scarborough with all the fun of a seaside town and the city of York, which has a huge range of attractions for visitors of all ages.

Set in a village that offers easy access to all the local attractions, this property offers spacious and inviting accommodation for larger groups of friends or family of up to six people.

Originally built for fishermen, this charming terraced cottage has been renovated to offer comfortable and spacious accommodation for groups of up to six people. It has been restored to retain much of its original charm, utilising exposed beams, stripped floor-boards and a cast-iron range to imbue it with traditional Yorkshire character.  Each of the three bedrooms benefits from spectacular sea views and a front patio offers ample opportunity for a spot of al fresco dining in the hazy summer months.
