Please note: The garden is accessed across rear lane.. This dog friendly cottage offers a comfortable stay for a family or a small group of friends. Hinderwell is a great location to set out to discover the North York Moors National Park, the nearby coastal towns, and villages, just a mile along the road and a gentle stroll from the beautiful beach of Runswick Bay, voted as ‘Best beach of the year’ in 2020 by The Times newspapers.
The accommodation is well equipped for six guests. It has a pretty living area with comfortable sofas, a spacious kitchen/dining area and three bedrooms. A variety of sleeping options and two bathrooms giving versatility for a small group. To the rear of the property, a few paces across the path takes you to an enclosed lawned garden area, a great place for the kids to play, while a summerhouse and further small decked area give far reaching views across pastureland and the sea. A fine place to sit with a glass of wine and watch the sun go down.
The rural village of Hinderwell makes a great base if you like to get out and about. The picturesque resorts of Staithes, Saltburn-by-the-Sea and Whitby are just a short drive away. Alternatively, the village is on a direct bus route into Whitby, perfect for avoiding parking at busy times. The cottage is close to two village inns serving good locally sourced produce and real ales; both are dog friendly. Other village amenities on hand include a family butcher, petrol station, churches, village hall, tennis courts, hair salon and a fish and chip shop. Hinderwell is an ideal base for walking holidays and is close to rural walking routes. Ferndene Cottage is perfectly located to access the Cleveland Way National Trail and the Esk Valley Walk. Beach 1½ miles. Shop, pub, and restaurant 400 yards.
