About this property
Enjoying an elevated position overlooking the sea and the coastal village of Sandsend, North Yorkshire, is this magnificent property, Craigmore. Affording unbeatable views and sought-after off-road parking, Craigmore provides a wonderful place to call home whilst holidaying on Yorkshire’s striking Heritage Coastline. Step inside and discover the kitchen, amply-equipped for home-cooking, whilst the separate dining room is perfectly formed for mealtimes. After a hearty meal, pop on the dishwasher and head to the lounge, complete with ample seating and a large window that provides a simply stunning vista. To get a better view, head outside to the multi-level garden, with a patio set at the top inviting alfresco dining, whilst there is more to explore further down. Make your way upstairs and find the bedrooms, offering two double rooms – one super king-size bed with zip/link beds, which can be arranged as a twin on request, a king size bed with dual aspect windows and a stunning view down the beach - and a pretty single room overlooking the woods.. You won’t have to worry about morning queues as Craigmore offers two bathrooms and a ground-floor shower room! Get to know your surroundings by having dinner at the Fish Cottage then heading to the Hart Inn for a cold beer or glass of wine. Lace up your walking boots and join the stunning Cleveland Way National Trail, spanning through beautiful landscape and scenery, head out onto the Yorkshire Moors, or on a warm day, pack up your seaside essentials and wander down to the award-winning beach, where you can kick back on the golden sands whilst the little ones build sandcastles and go rock pooling. Just a few miles along the beach (not at high tide!) is Whitby, where you can spend time strolling along the Whitby Harbour, soaking up history at Whitby Abbey, browsing the independent shops and art galleries or testing your golf swing at Whitby Golf Club. Slightly further along lies the seaside town of Scarborough, which is home to the famed Scarborough Castle, the Italian Gardens, and Peasholm Park, all of which are picturesque places to visit while enjoying a leisurely day by the sea. Towns worth visiting include Pickering and Malton. Choose Craigmore as your next base in North Yorkshire.
A charming bay, golden dunes, and a harbour can be found in Sandend, a little historical community that dates back to the 1600s. Sandend is one of the smallest fishing communities on the north east coast, but because of its close proximity to the larger communities of Portsoy and Cullen, it enjoys the good amenities offered there while maintaining a calmer and more serene atmosphere. Although Sandend town lacks stores and bars, it does have a fantastic smokery, so there is never a shortage of fresh fish, and towards the east end of Sandend Bay, the Glenglassaugh Distillery offers whisky tastings. The several charming fishing towns strewn along the north eastern coast, each of which has its own history and first-rate local amenities, are easily accessible from Sandend. Golfing, fishing, sailing, surfing, cycling, birdwatching, and beach strolling are other activities available in the vicinity. The beauty in this part of Scotland is breathtaking no matter the weather.

Very well equipped & the owner has thought of everything to make our stay enjoyable. As there were 5 of us staying, it was useful to have three bathrooms, which included two showers⦠As the property is being refurbished, it will be even better & lovely for a family holiday. Beach & North Yorkshire moors very near & a bonus for us was The North Yorkshire moors railway operating

We ate in every evening so we could thoroughly enjoy our glorious view!! The bed in the main bedroom was outstandingly comfortable. During the renovation please do not dispose of those wonderful books, games and mega box of Lego!
