About this property
Robin Hood's Bay 2 miles.
A charming stone-built barn conversion, opposite a working dairy farm, in the small rural farming village of High Normanby, close to pretty Fylingthorpe and just 2 miles from Robin Hood's Bay. Cosily furnished throughout, the property has an appealing garden to the front with impressive views across open farmland to Whitby Abbey. Well situated for enjoying all that the National Park has to offer and perfect for exploring the wonderful Yorkshire Coast. The owners live in the adjoining property and personally welcome visitors. This property is next to Refs. 1813 and 3759 and together they accommodate 6.
With its narrow cobbled streets and quaint cottages, Robin Hood's Bay is one of the most picturesque villages on the English coast. Situated between Scarborough and Whitby, this charming fishing community is located at the edge of a sweeping bay backed by cliffs and rugged moorland scenery. Visitors can enjoy a variety of beach and cliff top walks, or alternatively more serious walkers can attempt the long distance trails that pass through the Cleveland Way, the Lyke Wake Walk and the Coast to Coast walks â all of which take in Robin Hood's Bay. The village amenities are superb, offering everything a guest might need, while charming alleyways and plenty of places to relax, make this a wonderful spot for a vacation.

We were greeted by Faye the owner the on arrival and shown around. The kitchen area is small but adequate for catering for two. The sofa in the sitting area is larger than it appears in photos and comfortable. The bedroom has a wardrobe, chest of drawers and bedside tables and the bed is super comfortable, We had really good nights sleep here. Away from the bustle of Whitby the cottage is peaceful and free parking is a bonus. We would recommend for couples looking for a relaxing break. Thanks to Faye for being a lovely host.

Lovely quiet location, nice views, within easy reach of Robin Hoods Bay and Whitby and a good pub nearby.. With the bonus of a dedicated dog field and plenty of nice walks we really couldn't have asked for more. The owner Alex was more than helpful with local information and recommendations for places to eat. We'd like to return and have already recommended to friends

It was so central to everywhere we wanted to visit, eg Robin hoods bay, Whitby etc . The owners were lovely too. The enclosed dog walking field was handy. We would be happy to go again.
