About this property

Settled in the town of Loftus in North Yorkshire is this peaceful, end-terrace Victorian house, Woodend. In a prime location for exploring the North York Moors and coast, this pet-friendly abode welcomes families or couples, providing contemporary amenities and a private, enclosed garden overlooking a stream. Step inside to find a spacious living/dining room where you're sure to spend relaxing afternoons, whether that's watching TV from the plush sofas by the warmth of the gas fire or dining with your loved ones at the table for six. The well-appointed kitchen is just next door with an electric oven and hob, large fridge/freezer, and dishwasher, so you can cook at home with ease. Outside, you'll have your own private, enclosed sanctuary which is pet-friendly for dogs to rest their paws, whilst you dine al fresco, snooze on the cushioned furniture set under a gazebo with the sound of the running stream below. After a busy day exploring the coast, head upstairs to freshen up in the contemporary bathroom with a bath and shower over, before choosing between three beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with ample storage space and a TV. You'll find two doubles, one zip/link to suit children, friends or a couple, and a single. A great base for touring North Yorkshire, Loftus has plenty to offer, including The Loftus Club or The Tiger Inn pub, swimming at Loftus Leisure Centre, and a selection of shops. The picturesque shores of Skinningrove Beach are close by and dog-friendly for walking, playing, swimming and relaxing in the sunshine. Spend a day in Saltburn-by-the-Sea, home to another beautiful beach and cliffs to explore, as well as fishing along Saltburn Pier, whilst Saltburn Gill Nature Reserve welcomes nature lovers and Saltburn-by-the-Sea Golf Club is sure to please players of all abilities. Further south along the coast brings you to the bustling seaside town of Whitby; climb the 199 Steps and you'll be rewarded with the ruins of Whitby Abbey and far-reaching views, but if that's not for you, there are plenty of classic amusements along Whitby Beach and local legends at the fascinating Captain Cook Memorial Museum. For a classic fishing village, be sure to visit Robin Hood's Bay, home to the National Trust's Old Coastguard Station, whilst the North York Moors National Park is waiting to be explored. You'll find historic ruins such as Mulgrave Castle, timeless villages and towns including Guisborough and the romantic Guisborough Priory, and peaceful sandy coves and walking paths to wander with your trusty canine.

    ..great that we all had TV in the bedrooms so adult children could have their own space when needed. Loved the larger outside space, jacuzzi, table and garden sofa. The area was great - a short walk to local amenities and also woods to explore on the doorstep which was perfect for our dogs. Skinningrove Beach is beautiful and lots of other nearby beaches and cliff walks.

    We loved our stay and as our first Sykes booking we will book again. The welcome pack was a lovely touch also and the house was clean and spotless. Just a few recommendations and also some feedback The garden was quite dirty and furniture had not been cleaned or washed down. Small detail but I spent a few hours cleaning it myself from slugs and the usual things outside. There was a full wheelie bin left in the alleyway and had dirty nappies inside of it. Not sure it’s ever been emptied. The hot tub was amazing however one side of the jets did not work. More frying pans needed for the induction hob A Parking space would have been nice as we had 2 cars and we had to park next to the house rather than in front. Small details again. Other than this an amazing place and really enjoyed it
