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.

April
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,

High standard of provision of everything needed for washing cooking cleaning and real comfort! Only minor issue was variable tv aerial reception. The bedrooms and bathrooms were great and the kitchen and dining area spacious and a place you could just be in . In all honesty the living room was underused . So close to the beautiful village and the walking is spectacular.
