About this property
An endearing, stone terraced cottage, located near to the local inn, in the village of Ugthorpe. Cosy and appealing, the cottage is ideal for families wishing to stay in a peaceful setting, but still be within easy reach of the Yorkshire coastal resorts of Whitby, Saltburn, Staithes and Scarborough. The comfortable sitting room has a warming multi-fuel stove and there are patio doors leading to a private patio area, overlooking a pleasant, shared gravel garden. The spacious kitchen/diner overlooks the main street, with panoramic views of farmland beyond. There are two pleasant bedrooms on the first floor, one overlooking farmland to the north and the second overlooking the gravelled garden to the south. With careful renovation, this is a comfortable and cosy cottage with the added benefit of a popular village inn, selling fine ales and good food, on the doorstep. There are splendid walking and cycling trails to be discovered nearby, whilst the popular seaside town of Whitby, with its long sandy beaches and cobbled streets, is just a short, scenic drive away. Discover the elegant spa town of Saltburn to the north, or take a trip to the second spa town of Scarborough a little further to the south - both will afford pleasant days out as you explore the independent shops, tea rooms and art galleries. A well-placed cottage for a relaxing holiday.
The small, rural village of Ugthorpe lies 9 miles from the historic port of Whitby. Surrounded by the beautiful and dramatic countryside of the North York Moors, this scattered village makes a lovely peaceful place to stay. There is a local village inn serving food, very welcome after a days walking on the numerous public footpaths and bridleways in the area. The seaside villages of Sandsend and Runswick Bay are close by and both provide lovely, sandy beaches, fossil hunting and beachcombing.

The location was good to be able to drive to various different places including Whitby, Robin Hood's Bay and Scarborough. The cottage itself was very clean and cosy with all amenities that we required, and the landlord was very informative when speaking to arrange the key collection. And the pub next door served excellent food and good drinks. Highly recommended, thank you.

Cottage is very comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. We found the communication from Michael, the owner, very useful both before and during our visit. He also responded very promptly to a small issue we had on our first day. Although the kitchen was very well stocked for home cooking, we would recommend the nearby Black Bull Pub for an excellent Sunday Carvery lunch. Overall the cottage was perfect for the relaxing de-stress week we needed!

We found the cottage lovely and relaxing. The pub next door didn't effect us at all but we had a great take out from there. It was so peaceful. We will hopefully be back â¤ï¸
