About this property
Nestled in the old town of Bridlington is this fantastic Grade II listed cottage, 48 High Street. Benefitting from both a central and coastal location, this three-storey cottage is ideal for families and friends. Park up on the roadside and discover the white-washed terrace, with a grey door and duck-egg windows. This lovely home is brimming with character, with its beamed ceilings throughout and a crackling woodburning stove. Step inside into the sitting room, where you can unwind on the sumptuous sofa as the woodburning stove warms your toes. Moving through the property, locate the contemporary kitchen, housing an electric oven and gas hob to whip up tasty meals and a washing machine so you don't have to pack your whole wardrobe. For some fresh air step out into the small, rear patio and perch on the furniture to enjoy the final moments of the sun. As the sky grows dark, retreat indoors, and climb upstairs to the first floor to find the shower room, where you can wash the day away. The first floor also hosts a spacious king-size bedroom with storage to house your personal belongings and views of the charming street; offering antique stores and art galleries. Venture upstairs to the second floor to discover a twin bedroom with A-framed beams and sloped-ceilings for an intimate feel. In the morning, make use of the kitchen facilities to conjure a home-cooked breakfast or a take a short stroll to a quaint café to let someone else do the cooking. You'll be located on a historic high street in the heart of Bridlington, with architecture dating back to 1640, and impressive, traditional pubs to dine in such as The Lamp Restaurant, the Black Lion, and The Board Inn. There is also a selection of small, independent galleries to explore and The Bayle Museum, a building dating back to the 1100s, now housing a selection of local artefacts and close to Bridlington Priory. If you prefer cooking at home, there are supermarkets, convenience stores, and a local shop at the end of the road to stock up on essentials. For more local attractions, scenic views of chalk-cliffs can be admired from Bridlington South Beach, where you can build sandcastles and enjoy an ice-cream on the attractive promenade. Visit the Grade I Georgian house of Sewerby Hall & Gardens to marvel at landscaped gardens and wild-life lovers can spend the afternoon at Bridlington Animal Park. Jump in the car to the seaside resort of Filey, test your swing at the golf course, explore the peaceful Glen Gardens and wander along the promenade to see a collection of art. Why not spend the day at award-winning beaches in the traditional town of Scarborough, home to a medieval castle, fascinating aquarium, and an exciting water park for a splash? For long-lasting memories, secure a stay at 48 High Street.
Bridlington is a coastal resort on Yorkshire's east coast, south of Scarborough and Filey. Two award-winning golden sand beaches, both packed with activity, spread out on each side of the ancient harbour. Funfairs and quiet spots to sit and watch the world go by are all available along beautifully built promenades. The historic 'Old Town' of Bridlington, with its shops, sights, restaurants, and historic 'Old Town', present a fascinating contrast to life on the beach, where the current episode of Dad's Army was recorded, while the Bridlington Spa Theatre on the front provides nighttime entertainment.

We really enjoyed it and are looking at coming back next year. The cottage is in the perfect location. Only a couple of things I would mention is that itâs listed with on road parking which implies you can park outside. This is true however you can only stay an hour. There is parking in the free car park a few minutes walk away. We did get a starter pack for the fire but we were only given one log I would have expected a few more as we didnât bring any with us on the first day. Lastly a fire glove would be useful as the stove does get partially hot to open when in use for a little while. Overall we had a fabulous stay and we would highly recommend this little cottage. We canât wait to come back x
