About this property

Perched on the coast in Whitby, North Yorkshire is this superb, four-bedroom holiday home, Keel House. Ideal for a family of seven, this lovely dwelling enjoys easy access to Whitby's delights, along with even more picturesque towns and villages dotted along the North Yorkshire coastline and within the nearby North York Moors National Park. Upon arrival, you will be happy to discover off-road parking spaces at the front of the property, before wandering inside. As you enter, you will find a tastefully furnished double which enjoys access to an en-suite shower room, ideal for a multi-generational stay or guests with limited mobility. Continue upstairs to the second floor to find three more wonderfully furnished bedrooms, such as a king with an en-suite shower room, a twin and a single. The bedrooms on this floor rest above a well-presented family bathroom, where a soak amongst the bubbles can be enjoyed at the end of an exciting day out. Move across the first floor to find a well-equipped kitchen/diner which offers a good selection of amenities, including a coffee machine and a spacious dining table. The sitting room is situated nearby and contains a leather corner sofa for you to unwind on as you watch a movie together on the flat screen smart TV. Make the most of the sunny weather and head out to the rear patio; a great spot for dining alfresco, whilst spotting the boats coming and going from the idyllic harbour. Get acquainted with your surroundings and spend some time in Whitby, where your amenities can be found, as well as the marvelous activities of climbing the 199 Steps to Whitby Abbey, sunbathing on the sands of Whitby Beach, walking the famed Cinder Track, along with touring the gardens and museum of Pannet Park. Be sure to visit Scarborough, a bustling, Victorian resort offering several beaches, the historic sight of Scarborough Castle, the magnificent attractions of Alpamare UK and SEA LIFE, as well as access to the Rotunda Museum. Robin Hood's Bay also isn't far, a picturesque, fishing village which is home to a delightful cove, the Robin Hood's Bay Museum, and a range of coastal eateries. Continue to explore the Cleveland Way to find even more picturesque resorts, or travel into the North York Moors National Park, where a plethora of outdoor wonders await.
