Holiday cottage in Sandsend, North Yorkshire - Sleeps 4 (FCH73808)

Chocolate box features and regal decor are combined to make this North Yorkshire property an enviable getaway destination. The gorgeous country cottage offers an expansive garden that’s a haven of peace and calm - an antidote to busy days spent exploring Whitby and the wider Yorkshire coastline.

Completely detached and surrounded by the vast woodlands and wilderness of the North York Moors, both privacy and quiet are always assured throughout your stay here, ideal for those guests seeking an escape from city life. Accommodating four guests across two palatial bedrooms, the abode is made for two couples seeking quality time on a holiday together.

Fastidiously designed with light, bright interiors and chateau-style accents throughout, this country retreat is filled to the brim with character and life. Step into the farmhouse kitchen where hearty dinners can be rustled up, complete with an easy dining table and access to the more formal dining room next door.

After dinner, the cosiest lounge space with a wood burner and TV/DVD invites you to end every day. The first of the two double bedrooms is located downstairs, alongside a handy family bathroom, whilst a second double bedroom and an en-suite bathroom with a roll-top bath is just upstairs. Outside, the half-acre garden enjoys lawn space, a summerhouse and a rose garden – a place to lounge around with a great book and a delicious picnic through slow, sunny afternoons.

Liven things up a bit as you head out each day on an adventure, seeking excitement in the gothic town of Whitby just 2.5 miles away. This literature-rich town is a seaside haven with a beautiful beach, famous 199 Steps up to Whitby Abbey and plenty of opportunities for boat trips including sea cruises and wildlife-spotting ventures.

Be sure to collect some Whitby jet as a souvenir of your travels.
