The village of Stainsacre is home to a lovely pub, Windmill Inn, lying just a short stroll away, perfect for evening meals and drinks, while the nearest supermarkets are around half a mile from the cottage on the outskirts of Whitby. Close to the cottage is The Cinder Track, a disused railway line turned into a 22-mile walking and cycling route running just inland from the coast from Whitby to Scarborough, offering the perfect way to explore the national park with your family. Just two miles away is the coast where you can embark on further walks, this time with sea views, along the Cleveland Way, coming to the likes of Robin Hood's Bay, a delightful village to stop at for refreshments in one of the pubs or cafés. Enjoy days within the town of Whitby, choosing from an array of attractions with firm favourites being the dramatic Whitby Abbey which sits over the town, reached via the 199 Steps, with the Whalebone Arch and Whitby Lighthouse providing perfect photo ops, and the Captain Cook Memorial Museum shedding light on the history of the town and its famous explorer. Venture further into the North York Moors National Park for walks along the Esk Valley, searching for waterfalls, and hiking the various hills and peaks found here. Enjoy a fun family break or a walking adventure to the North York Moors and coast at The Lodge.

The kettle was rusty so we bought a new one. I feel as though we were let down

Unfortunately it wasnât very clean when we arrived and there were a couple of maintenance issues. The owner has been made aware of these and hopefully they will be resolved as we would definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone wanting to explore Whitby.

The area was quiet, the cottage was well equipped with everything you need, clean throughout, very comfortable and very cosy and relaxing. We would definitely stay again.
