Paddock Retreat is a wonderful glamping pod, perfect for a short break, resting on a raised terrace amidst the stunning countryside, in the coastal village of Runswick Bay, North Yorkshire. This compact, open-plan pod is ideal for a couple looking to escape the hustle and bustle of life and get back to the outdoors. Step into the lovely interior and relax on the plush sofa after a day exploring the natural beauty of the surrounding area. A frosty night welcomes the warmth of the imitation woodburning stove while you rustle up a light meal at the kitchenette, to be enjoyed at the dining table or out on the decking, where you can take in the encompassing and serene surroundings. When the evening draws to a close, pull out the sofa bed and catch some rest before starting the day over, where ample walking and cycling opportunities in the rural setting await. You can sit and watch the bird life on the front patio as you sip a refreshing glass of wine and relish in the peaceful ambiance. Just a short walk away is the village centre of Runswick Bay, a collection of red-roofed cottages, tucked away behind the cliffs overlooking the golden beach below. A traditional and quiet fishing village with access to the car park at the bottom of the hill for people with walking difficulties, there is also a labyrinth of narrow lanes with a number of pleasant pubs and tearooms to enjoy. A mix of sand and stone, Runswick Bay Beach is a popular destination for families, sun worshippers and water sports enthusiasts, here you can spend the day relaxing with your favourite book, enjoying watersports, or wander along the beach and take note of the Hob Holes, small caves in the cliffs where hobgoblins were supposed to live, exploring the many rock pools, or search the beach rubble for fossils. The long-distance walking path, Cleveland Way, passes through Runswick Bay offering plenty of walking opportunities as well as many cycling opportunities to enjoy and you will find two pubs within easy walking distance and a few local shops, including the all-important chip shop, all very close in walking distance. With the spectacular North York Moors to explore and the bustling seaside town of Whitby within easy reach, these properties have something for everyone. For a romantic, glamping holiday to remember, look no further than the quaint Paddock Retreat.
