Please note: The cottage is suitable for no more than 4 adults (plus one child) due to the space available downstairs. There are low beams on the second floor.. Stepping through Glenhowen’s doors, you’ll be transported to a bygone era, surrounded by wooden panelling, beamed ceilings, exposed stone walls and an abundance of character that evokes a sense of history. Spread over three floors, this delightful cottage offers a unique and cosy living experience. The ground floor welcomes you with an open plan living area that seamlessly combines a comfortable living room with a dining table, creating an intimate space, perfect for gathering around the wood-burning stove on chilly evenings, the adjacent kitchen exuding charm.
Ascending to the first floor, you’ll find two enchanting double bedrooms, each with its distinct appeal. One of the bedrooms features a striking feature fireplace that adds to the cottage’s ambience, while the second bedroom provides the added convenience of a Belfast-style sink. The family bathroom on this floor boasts a shower over the bath, offering a relaxing spot to unwind after a day of exploration along the captivating coastline. Continuing up to the top floor, you’ll discover a small double bed nestled under the rustic, beamed ceiling. From this vantage point, enjoy breathtaking views over the village rooftops, with the clifftops and the endless expanse of the North Sea in the distance.
Robin Hood’s Bay, the charming village that embraces Glenhowen, is a coastal gem steeped in history and natural beauty. Its cobbled streets, winding alleys and picturesque cottages create a postcard-perfect setting that enchants visitors from near and far. The surrounding coastline is a haven for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. The bay itself offers a serene place to relax by the shore, while the dramatic cliffs provide stunning panoramic views and make for invigorating coastal walks. The village is part of the North York Moors National Park, a protected Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Exploring the park rewards you with heather-clad moorland, ancient woodlands and hidden valleys that hide a myriad of wildlife. In every aspect, Glenhowen and its location offer an unforgettable escape into the past, a peaceful retreat surrounded by the captivating beauty of Robin Hood’s Bay and the remarkable North York Moors National Park.
