Lily Rose Cottage

About this property

Nestled in the heart of the up-and-coming village of Loftus rests this charming holiday home, Lily Rose Cottage. Situated a stone's throw away from both the coast and countryside, Lily Rose Cottage is idyllic for exploring the hidden gems of North Yorkshire. Marvel at the striking Victorian architecture of this lovely dwelling upon arrival, following the path through the well-kept front garden; a lovely space to soak in the evening sun, and step through the stained glass doorway into a handy hallway, perfect for kicking off your shoes and housing your belongings away from the main living areas. Follow the original tiled flooring through to the galley-style kitchen tucked away at the rear of the holiday home, beautifully-appointed with a traditional décor featuring an exposed stone wall and wooden surfaces, housing all of the amenities necessary to prepare a heart-warming meal for the group. Recount the days adventures as you indulge with a seat at the dining table, warming your toes with the heat of the fire, or if you're lucky enough to experience the warmer weather, step outside for a spot of alfresco dining in the tranquil setting of the private courtyard, toasting a glass of fizz to an unforgettable holiday. Heading back indoors, settle down for the evening with a seat in the snug sitting room, fabulously-decorated with shabby chic features, offering a welcoming setting to nestle in on the sofa to enjoy a movie marathon, enveloping the room in the glow of the woodburning stove in the cooler months. Completing the ground floor is a pleasant family bathroom, fit with a bath with a convenient overhead shower, giving guests the choice to soak their muscles in the tub following an action-packed day, or to make use of the overhead shower for a quick morning rinse. As the evening grows darker, climb the stairs where you'll find three bedrooms, a double, a twin and a single, perfect for an intimate escape, all of which boast a charming neutral décor for lovely space to rest your head. Head off on foot and take the short stroll into the centre of Loftus where you'll find a well-stocked convenience store alongside a handful of delicious eateries; enjoy a spot of pub grub and a game of live sport at the traditional country pub, The White Horse Inn, or pick up some last-minute ingredients to prepare a hearty meal from the comfort of your holiday home. Fom the property walkers will be able to access the stunning Cleaveland way coastal walk. Jump in the car and spend a fun-filled day visiting the nearby coastal town of Saltburn-by-the-Sea, where you can dip your toes in the refreshing waters of the sea backed by the colourful huts that line the beachfront, discover one of the country's most famous railways on display at Saltburn Miniature Railway or test your swing with a round of golf at the towns 18-hole course. Closer to home, a short walk from Lily Rose Cottage brings you to Skinningrove beach. History buffs will be delighted with a visit to Whitby a 10-15 minute drive away, boasting a fantastic selection of heritage to be explored, including the maritime history on display at the Captain Cook Memorial Museum and the ruins of the Gothic Whitby Abbey, known as the inspiration behind Bram Stoker’s “Dracula”.
