If you’ve been looking for a sign to explore the North Yorkshire coast, then, hello, here it is. This home, set only a stone’s throw from Whitby, has the advantage of an ideal location on its side. Close enough to drive to Robin Hoods Bay, Saltburn-by-the-Sea, and the North Yorkshire National Park and Moors, it's still far enough away from any sort of bustle that it feels secluded. So grab a coffee pre-dawn and sit out on the terrace as the sun breaks over the horizon.

Even with the doors open, it's still peaceful enough here to kick back with a good romance novel and glass of wine. Although, you might want to carpe diem and wander out to the beach whenever you spot a ray of sunshine, because Runswick Bay has been recognised by The Times as one of Britain's top fifty beaches. Paddle board, surf, and splash to your heart’s content before finding a spot that serves fresh seafood. You have our permission to think about the bubble bath you’ll run when you’re driving home from a day adventuring, and after, gather together for a game or two of Scrabble.
