Smuggler's Gold Whitby, North Yorkshire

Property Description

You can soak up all the seaside charms of North Yorkshire with a stay at this newly built cottage. It's set in Whitby’s Spital Bridge neighbourhood and less than a ten-minute hop, skip, and jump from its vibrant centre.

Get off to a flying start with a lazy stroll along the banks of the little River Esk, bound for the mighty Abbey to marvel at its gothic splendour and to tackle the 199 steps. Then blaze a trail to the sands of Whitby Beach for bracing coastal walks reaching to Sandside, with pitstops for lip-smacking fish and chips along the way. Or dive into the town’s historic cobbled streets for upper-crust grub in one of the traditional inns before a mooch about its eccentric shops.

When it’s time to put your feet up back at home, there are all the creature comforts you could need at this pristine and gloriously clutter-free home. In winter, spill out onto the leather chesterfield sofas in the open-concept living space with the newspapers or cosy up for a film evening. And on long summer evenings, take things outside into the small suntrap terrace to catch the last of the evening rays and toast the day with a glass of something chilled.
