The Retreat

About this property

Tucked away in the quaint village of Loftus, North Yorkshire discover this three-bedroom abode, 17 Gladstone Street. Benefitting from close proximity to the local amenities and a beach, as well as boasting an enclosed courtyard and electric fire, 17 Gladstone Street welcomes six guests, ideal for a family or group of friends looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. After parking up outside, enter your new home-from-home, ready to take the weight off your feet in the inviting sitting room, clicking on the TV with the WiFi dongle and electric fire on cooler days so you can curl up and truly make yourself feel at home. In the well-equipped kitchen/diner, discover a superb array of appliances, guaranteed to ease your self-catered stay, before rustling up a delicious home-cooked meal for the entire family to enjoy. Make a base at the dining table or venture outside to the enclosed courtyard, perfect for alfresco dining as you soak in your tranquil surroundings a little while longer. When the day eventually draws to a close, escape to the first floor where three lovely bedrooms await, but not before treating yourself to a warm shower or long soak in the ground-floor bathroom. In the morning, wake ready to take on your exciting itinerary, beginning in Loftus town centre where you can wander through the traditional streets, admire the Victorian and Georgian architecture, and visit local shops, cafes and pubs, ideal for refuelling on the days you don’t feel like cooking! Immerse yourself in the industrial heritage of the area by visiting the Cleveland Ironstone Mining Museum or take a scenic drive through Skinningrove Valley, a beautiful, wooded valley located just south of Loftus which offers tranquil settings for nature lovers. A short distance away, you’ll also find the delights of Saltburn-by-the-Sea, a charming coastal town with plenty to see and do including the iconic Saltburn Pier. With the North York Moors National Park also within reaching distance, you’ll have plenty to fill your days here. Escape to North Yorkshire with a stay at 17 Gladstone Street.

The village of Loftus lies 14 miles north of Whitby on the east coast of Yorkshire. Originally an old alum mining village, it comprises terraced houses, old stone cottages and a few grand stone dwellings. The long and lively main street hosts a variety of shops, eateries, pubs, banks and an impressive town hall. Lying behind the main street is a leisure centre with an excellent swimming pool. Loftus is well placed for discovering the small coastal villages of Runswick Bay and Staithes, the latter being a popular choice for artists. Four miles to the north is the elegant spa town of Saltburn with its golf club and long pier stretching over the wide sands. The stunning North Yorkshire Moors countryside is on the doorstep and the Jurassic fossil coast lies to the south.
