About this property

Highly appointed pet & family friendly cottage with private parking & garden.

Crabapple Cottage retains much of its original charm and character offering guests home-from-home comforts with the opportunity to relax, unwind and make the most of their time away.
Set in a peaceful courtyard just off the main street of Hinderwell , Crabapple Cottage is perfectly located between the villages of Staithes and Runswick Bay. Both can be accessed by a beautiful coastal walk (approx 1.5miles) or by a short car or bus journey. A little further are the east coast destinations of Sandsend, Whitby and Saltburn.
Crabapple Cottage is a perfect base for couples, friends or families to enjoy time together with great local facilities on the doorstep.

Entering the cottage directly into the lounge area you will find comfortable seating, a dining table, wood burning stove and smart TV. The kitchen has everything you need to make you and your party feel at home - dishwasher, wine fridge, fridge freezer, microwave, cooker & coffee machine with direct access to the secure garden. In the outside areas you will find all you need to make the most of the sunny weather.... bbq, outdoor seating and a large 'springfree' trampoline. There is also outside hot and cold taps to wash off any muddy four legged friends after a days adventuring.

Upstairs you will find two bedrooms. The larger has a king size bed which can also be split into two twins and the smaller room offers full size bunk beds. There is a sofa bed in the lounge if an extra bed is required.

Look how other guests have described their stay;

'Fantastic location for visiting some real gems. Brilliant cottage and garden, the trampoline was a real bonus to tire the kids out when we needed some time to switch off. Recommend staying here as I would book again without hesitation.'

' A perfectly situated cosy cottage. Very easy access to the Cleveland Way and also on a reliable and regular bus route which runs between the villages. You don’t really need to use a car once you arrive. The cottage itself is in a peaceful location and we didn’t hear any noise at all. The garden is enclosed and quite long with a large trampoline at the top. Everything is good quality with all you need to self cater. Having said that there are two pubs and a good fish and chip shop a couple of minutes walk away. The village butcher sells bread, milk, newspapers and many other provisions. The cottage is very clean and has an efficient wood burning stove to compliment the central heating. The online description is accurate and Jane communicates well. Highly recommended and we hope to return when we walk another section of the Cleveland Way.'

We hope to welcome you to Crabapple Cottage.

Fantastic stay in Crabapple cottage

We had a fantastic stay in the cottage in November. It was a great location with a great local pub literally next door and so close to Runswick Bay and Staithes. Only 10mins in the car to Whitby as well! The cottage is lovely and perfectly sized for the 3 of us plus a dog.

Lovely little cottage in lovely village setting

We’ve just returned from a very enjoyable short break at Crabapple Cottage. The accommodation was very comfortable as advertised and is extremely well equipped for a lovely stay. The icing on the cake for us was the large enclosed garden to the rear being a much welcome addition for our 2 dogs! Great location being in the doorstep to Runswick Bay and Whitby - we’d love to return one day!

Great location

The cottage had everything we needed for our 3 night stay and the generous welcome items in the kitchen were much appreciated. It was conveniently situated for some wonderful coastal walks to Runswick Bay and Staithes. We used the bus to get to Whitby, so didn't need the car once there. We highly recommend this property and would definitely consider staying again, perhaps for longer next time.

Fantastic stay in a lovely cottage.

We have just returned from a short break at this wonderful cottage. The communication with the owner prior to check in was brilliant,and the welcome goodies were thoroughly appreciated after a rather treacherous journey. The location of the accommodation was perfect and provided a fantastic base to explore the local area. The cottage itself was immaculate and provided all the ammenties you could possible need. We would love to reutrn in the summer months to make use of the huge private garden. Overall,we highly recommend this accommodation and would not hesiate in returning.

Lovely Easter stay at Crabapple Cottage

Beautifully presented cottage; cosy, clean, comfortable with everything we needed for our short stay. In a great location, tucked away just off the main road. A generous welcome pack on arrival which went down a treat! Our two boys, 12 and 14, loved the trampoline. We walked from the cottage to Runswick Bay with a successful fossil hunting trip and then carried on along the Cleveland Way to Staithes, before looping back to Hinderwell along the road. We enjoyed a lovely evening meal at The Badger Hounds, just a minutes walk from the cottage - be sure to prebook! Great days out at Whitby and Saltburn-By-The-Sea too. Just wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you very much Jane for letting us stay in your property; we hope to return.

Lots of lovely beaches within max 20mins drive too. We stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed every minute.
