About this property
The detached Stable Cottage is set in its own scenic grounds with views across the countryside, and is a stone's throw from the North Yorkshire Moors. With the aim of providing luxury and comfort for guests, this barn conversion presents you with a complimentary welcome pack upon arrival, a nice addition to those afternoon refreshments. Enter inside to the open-plan living area, comprising of a country themed kitchen with a dining table for four and a comfortable seating area, overlooked by signature wooden beams. The window seat is a nice spot to rest with a warm drink and really take in the characterful interior. Enjoy a cosy evening, then a delightful night's sleep in the king-size bedroom, giving a contemporary country-feel, with its rustic solid oak furniture and elegant linens and fabrics. The bathroom is a lovely aspect of the property, still retaining its sense of charm, with a rainfall shower over to complement the décor. Offering a private south-facing garden and patio furniture, you can wander outside at your own leisure and enjoy the pleasant location. To the south lies Whitby, with its beautifully situated abbey and historic port. Superb coastline, the spectacular North York Moors, a picturesque harbour and safe sandy beaches are all on hand and worthy of exploring. Other coastal villages to visit include Sandsend, Staithes and Runswick Bay. A well-appointed cottage for a romantic getaway.

Only issue was that we needed basic groceries like milk on arrival, and the closest shop was over 2 miles away in Robin Hoodâs Bay, and that was about to close

Presentation fantastic! Everything we could have wanted was supplied, very well equipped. Only downside was The Flask Inn opposite is currently closed down and up for sale!

Though we had autumnal weather in June, we found plenty to do out and about. The cottage was toasty warm (see below for a cautionary tale though) and the winter-weight duvet appreciated. We were disappointed there was no tumble dryer as this was a) needed and b) on the Sykes listing. Otherwise, everything was as described and we were very happy with the accommodation. The cautionary tale? We chose to crate our two dogs overnight and popped the crate against a wall to keep it out of the way. Unfortunately, this happened to be the hottest part of the underfloor heating and though no harm was done the dogs were definitely too warm. The heating does not appear to affect the centre of the lounge area, so placing the crate between sofa and kitchen worked fine.
