About this property
Set over the top two floors of a semi-detached Victorian villa, this property is in an enviable position at the top of Robin Hood's Bay. Stairs lead up from a ground floor entrance hall to the light, airy living areas, which are superbly, sympathetically renovated, retaining traditional period features such as beautiful marble and cast iron fireplaces, high ceilings and stained glass windows. Outside, the property boasts a well-established, rear south-facing garden, ideal for relaxing after a day at the beach. A five minute stroll takes you down the steep, winding, cobbled streets to the coast, passing quaint cottages and a selection of eating houses and gift shops. Stunning views over the magnificent cliffs can be enjoyed, with rock pooling and paddling on the beach, as well as superb walking, with the Cleveland Way and Coast to Coast long distance walks crossing here. With the breathtaking North York Moors on the doorstep, this wonderful renovation is a fantastic alternative to traditional Yorkshire cottages, in an ideal family location.
With its narrow cobbled streets and quaint cottages, Robin Hood's Bay is one of the most picturesque villages on the English coastline. Set between Scarborough and Whitby, this charming settlement is located on a wide, sweeping bay backed by spectacular cliffs and dramatic moorland scenery. With numerous, relatively easy walks along the cliff top and more challenging routes such as the Cleveland Way, the Lyke Wake Walk and the Coast to Coast Walks, all levels of ramblers will be catered for. With superb village amenities, charming alleyways to explore and plenty of places to rest, this is perfect base from which to enjoy the Yorkshire Coast.

A really spacious well presented and well equipped property with comfortable furniture and fittings. The fantastic large dining kitchen worked really well for us with lots of space for family meals and game nights. The stairs from the front door are wide and easy to navigate. The lack of a sea view is more than compensated for by the quality of the property. Although there is no specific parking there's ample parking over the road at Station car park. We have already booked our next visit.

It was also a perfect base to explore the bay, Whitby and beyond. The dishwasher and washing machine were well used and appreciated and preparing meals was easy making dining together a real treat. I recommend for any age or length of stay

we would definitely go back ,beds very comfortable plenty of space for use all with being a group of 8.Great location to travel around or just stay and walk down in to Robin Hood's Bay with the shops, restaurants and go on the beach , parking was better than I thought which we was able to park on the street but there was a car park very close too if not which I was told you can buy a day ticket and you can use it up and down the coast if you like travelling which we do,
