With beautiful outdoor space and a lot of charm, this home in Runswick Bay not only offers you a relaxing space in which to unwind, but also puts you in a great spot to explore the Yorkshire Coast. Start days off with an alfresco breakfast out back under the pergola. Once you’re caffeinated and ready to go, you can head out on foot to see more of the area, including the Cleveland Way hiking area. Whitby and its beautiful beaches lie on the other end of a short drive, but closer still, you’ll find Kettleness Beach. See Mulgrave Castle or venture to the North York Moors National Park. When you’re not out grabbing fish and chips with a pint at one of the local pubs, you might bring lunch back to enjoy outside. Afterwards, make yourself comfortable in one of the garden chairs and pour yourself a glass of wine, enjoying the sunshine and tranquillity with every sip. Gather around the wood-burning stove in the living room to play late-night charades, enjoy long bubble baths, and sleep peacefully every night, knowing you get to bask in the peace and sunshine again the next day.

About Whitby
Famously the setting of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, there’s something hauntingly beautiful about Whitby. The ruins of Whitby Abbey, set atop a windy hill overlooking the town, are just like a scene from a gothic novel. When the sun sets, ghost tours amble through the cobbled streets, revealing the town’s dramatic history. By day it’s all idyllic fishing village vibes, with a hint of Victorian holidays. Colourful cottages that have seen...
