About this property
Nestled in the heart of the thriving coastal town of Whitby in North Yorkshire is Tuksumdoin. This fabulous, reverse-level holiday home benefits from a spacious and contemporary interior completed by two ground-floor bedrooms, a wonderful, first-floor, open-plan living space with spectacular views of the abbey and sea and a fantastic setting close to local amenities, the town’s endless attractions and North York Moors National Park; the perfect choice for families, friends or couples looking to explore North Yorkshire. After a day full of exploration, cross the threshold into your new home-from-home and travel to the first floor where an open-plan living space greets you, unwind on the plush sofas in front of the electric flame-effect fire and watch on as the designated chef of the group gets acquainted with the fully-equipped kitchen. Dine together at the coffee table which converts into a dining table, allowing you to enjoy dinner with an unbeatable view across the town to the North Sea and the beautiful Whitby Abbey. When the evening draws to a close, travel downstairs to wash off the day in the bathroom before sloping off to sleep in either the king-size or twin bedroom. During the day meander the charming streets of Whitby which are lined by independent shops and quirky boutiques as well as local stores where you can stock up on your essentials and pubs and bars ideal for those seeking vibrant nightlife or a delicious meal. Wander down to the water’s edge where you can sample the town’s famous fish and chips before embarking on a challenging stroll up the 199 steps which offers breath-taking views across the North Sea; once here you can also see St Mary’s Church and the iconic ruins of Whitby Abbey. Experience the coast from a unique perspective by hopping on a boat tour on the open water with a chance to spot seals, dolphins and whales! The North York Moors National Park is also easily accessible and houses the Cleveland Way and Cinder Track, both are ideal for keen ramblers or cyclists and make the most of the beautiful countryside and coast. All this and more awaits at Tuksumdoin.

It was in a good location and easy for us to get to the venues we wanted to visit. It would have been nice to have a phone number of the owners because I would have liked the parking scratch cards to have been explained. I only had a phone number for Booking.com, and was given the wrong information regarding the parking. It is a lovely cottage and we were very pleased with it.

Like too many holiday flats, let down by silly little penny pinching. For example, no ladle, faulty scissors, useless peeler, too small pans, casserole. Dining table impossible to manipulate into a coffee table. But overall, good value for money.

We arrived on a busy Saturday afternoon and couldn't find any parking so left the car in a carpark overnight. There was no problem finding a space on the Sunday morning and the scratch card system worked well Kind regards Carol Francis
