The Captain's Cabin

About this property

An enticing Yorkshire holiday home, set in an enviable position, this impressive retreat captures commanding views out along the dramatic coastline and out to sea. Sleeping eight guests across three bedrooms in the main cottage and one in an annexe, this outstanding hideaway, which nestles in beautiful gardens with a hot tub, makes an idyllic base for an extended family or a group of friends. Situated 1 mile from picture-postcard perfect Robin Hood’s Bay, with its sandy beach and rock pools, it is great for exploring both the Yorkshire Heritage Coast and the North York Moors. It is 5 miles from colourful Whitby, with its long beach, independent shops and eateries and famous abbey ruins. Keen walkers can also follow the Cleveland Way for 7 miles out along the clifftops to reach Whitby on foot. Scarborough, 16.5 miles away, with its dramatic castle, is also worth visiting during your stay.

Tear yourselves away from the incredible views to enter the cottage via the porch, where there is access to a downstairs WC and ample space to slip off your walking boots or wellies. From here, head on into the open-plan kitchen/diner, where glass sliding doors that bring the light and sea views flooding in can be pulled open to the balcony. Find everything you need in this well-designed area to help you cater for your party during your stay. There is also lots of room to congregate round the table for lively holiday meals. The lounge is also a fabulous social space. Here stylish Italian sofas have been carefully arranged so you can warm yourselves beside the crackling wood burner after autumn and winter walks or watch the Smart TV when you are not taking in the panoramic views and sweeping seascapes from the window. The inviting bedrooms in the main cottage include two superb king-sizes and a twin. There is also a family bathroom here. The adjoining annexe, which provides accommodation for two members of your group who might enjoy some privacy and independence, is accessed externally. Here you will find another lovely king-size bedroom, together with an en-suite shower room and lounge/kitchenette, with another Smart TV.

The attractive, enclosed garden is very much the jewel in the crown of this truly special Yorkshire cottage. A large terrace is the perfect place to cook out in the fresh air on the BBQ, then dine together in the sunshine. Steps lead down to the hot tub, seating areas and beautiful rolling lawn. There is a pergola and a summerhouse, where you can open a bottle of wine and take in the views, plus a firepit for gathering around under the stars. There is private off-road parking here for four cars.
