About this property
This attractive, stone, terraced cottage is situated just off the High Street in the popular village of Hinderwell, in the North York Moors National Park. Well suited for families wanting to enjoy the dramatic, heritage east coast, this Hinderwell cottage is close to the bustling seaside town of Whitby and the elegant, Victorian spa resort of Saltburn, both just a few minutes' drive. Traditionally furnished and decorated, this cottage in Hinderwell offers a cosy and comfortable sitting room and a colourful kitchen with a small boot room. Upstairs in this Hindwell cottage, is a spacious double bedroom and on the second floor, a twin room with sloping ceilings, exposed timbers and views over distant hills. Outside, this Hinderwell cottage benefits from a pretty front garden, accessed via a communal path. This is a pleasant spot in which to sit and relax in or perhaps enjoy alfresco dining. The village itself offers excellent amenities, with several pubs, local shops and a bistro, whilst the beach is just a mile away. Explore the quaint coastal villages of Staithes and Runswick Bay with their narrow alleyways and cottages tumbling towards the sea, or take a bracing cliff top walk on the Cleveland Way long distance footpath. With the beautiful moors to explore and the numerous seaside delights of Whitby to enjoy, this Hinderwell cottage has something for everyone.
Hinderwell is a small, lively village close to the fishing villages of Staithes and Runswick Bay. Hinderwell was mentioned in the Domesday Book as Hildrewell, a derivation of Hilda's Well, named for the Abbess of Whitby who was travelling through the parish in a drought and was asked to intercede. Her prayers were answered when a spring appeared near the sight of the present Parish Church, and this spring has continued to flow from the hillside to this day. The village is ideally situated for exploring the beautiful countryside, and walks, cycle ways, gliding, horse riding and fishing are all well catered for in the area. Whitby is seven miles away and the town has a rich and varied heritage waiting to be discovered. This is a fabulous holiday base.

Second bedroom was ideal for our teenage daughter. Lots of extras there like USB chargers, ironing board, washing up liquid and tea towels. The only downside is the wall heaters don't give off much heat, thankfully there was plenty of blankets and a plug in heater that we could use.

It was beautifully presented and in a lovely village conveniently situated for exploring the coastal region. Because it is compact there isn't space for a dishwasher or washing machine. This was fine for us but a family of four might find it more difficult. We sat in the chairs as we found the sofa too low and not comfortable. A minor point but the dvd in the upper bedroom did not seem to be working. The stairs up here are very steep. However, the cottage is a great place to stay and we would come back again.

Information on how to manage the heating would have been useful as the evenings were cool but otherwise it was a lovely stay.
