Guests will find both a double and twin bedroom. The garden to the rear of the property offers a great chance to catch some sun, and the table and chairs offer an alternative to the kitchen/diner for enjoying a meal. There is also a lovely summerhouse located in the garden, complete with a very comfortable sofa, it’s a great spot to unwind with a book and cold drink. A well behaved dog is also welcome.

Within here are many beautiful plants and flowers, and guests are welcome to wander round and take a closer look. There’s also a café, where guests can enjoy 10% off their food and drinks, and a croquet and putting green. Located to the rear of the cottage/garden centre is the River Esk, a very popular spot for dog walkers. Away from the cottage is the beautiful seaside town of Whitby.
