About this property
Overlooking the scenic waters of the North Yorkshire and Cleveland Heritage Coast, in the heart of the small fishing village of Sandsend rests this contemporary second floor apartment, Flat 3, Peacehaven. Set across one level and sleeping up to four guests, Flat 3, Peacehaven is an idyllic base for a small family or two couples looking to explore the delights of this sought-after region. Stepping inside, be charmed by the contemporary décor of the open-plan living space, flooded with natural light and framing unspoilt views of the North Sea through the elegant Juliet balcony. Dust off your sandy toes and settle down for a moment of peace in front of the television following a day full of adventure before venturing over to the well-equipped kitchen to rustle up some tasty treats for your loved ones. Uncork a bottle of wine and serve the fruits of your labor at the dining table, where you can throw open the French doors and let the fresh sea air throw through the sociable space as you indulge. When sleep calls, retreat to either of the two well-presented double bedrooms to rest your head, each fit with your very own TV, so you can drift off to the sound of your favourite show from the comfort of the covers. In the morning, kick-start your day with an invigorating rinse under the waterfall head in the contemporary shower room, stylishly tiled throughout, before enjoying a steaming cup of coffee backed by the sounds of the waves washing up on the nearby shore. Take a break from doing the cooking and treat your loved ones to a spot of pub grub at The Hart Inn, or make meal times an alfresco affair and indulge in the catch of the day in the beautiful garden at the Fish Cottage. Take advantage of your close proximity to the coast and spend a day at Sandsend Beach, where you can paddle the shores, make use of the glorious golden sand to build sandcastles, or make a splash in the waters of the North Sea. A scenic stroll along the coastline will bring you to the popular seaside town of Whitby, famed as the inspiration between Bram Stockers Dracula, here you can climb the 199 Steps to reach the medieval ruins of Whitby Abbey, offering sweeping views of the harbour from the top, or immerse yourself in local history with a tour of Whitby Museum. Lace up your walking boots and follow The Cinder Track through the picturesque countryside of North Yorkshire toward the picture-perfect fishing village of Robin Hoods Bay, or jump in the car and journey to Staithes, Saltburn or Runswick Bay, all well worth a visit. Whether you're looking to unwind or experience adventure, choose Flat 3, Peacehaven as a base that you'll be delighted to return to.

Itâs a great base for getting about, bus stop a 100 meters, beach literally outside the door. We will return again later in the year, missing it already!

Being high up means the road is not very visible, and the beach and sea panorama is spectacular at all times and tides. Apartment is compact but space is well used. We appreciated the good quality equipment, and little touches like some salt and pepper, handsoap and washing up liquid/dishwasher tablets (just needed a dishwashing sponge). Just a few points which may be helpful to others: Parking - a few spaces available and free on the street but a bit hit and miss as to whether you get a space; otherwise car park is £6 per day, less than 5 minutes walk away, but a bit far if trying to load/unload. Entrance door is quite stiff to lock (and handle needs lifting to lock - exit only by key), and is shared with Flat 2, so may be left unlocked at times. Entrance lobby seems a little damp but the flat itself is well maintained. Entrance door is effectively one floor up garden steps, then one floor to Flat 3 door, then one more floor up to the flat itself. We booked through Sykes Cottages and found them to be very helpful.
